Shizuka's animal friends

Guide to finding all 14 of Shizuka's animal friends in Crusader Kings III. Learn where to find crashed UFOs and rescue animals from aliens.

Alright, so you've finished the God UFO quest and Shizuka's ready to ask for a favor. She's a bit of an odd duck, this one, but her request is pretty straightforward: rescue animals from aliens. She'll give you an animal book to keep track of your progress. Basically, UFOs will crash all over the place, and you need to reactivate them to get the animals back. There are 14 animals in total, and some are in areas you've already visited while fighting rival kings. It can feel a bit tedious since there are more UFOs than Wonder Spots, meaning you might not find an animal every time. But hey, let's get these critters back!

Here are the locations for the first 13 animals:

1. Bear Cub: Head to the forest east of Castle Town. You'll find a crashed UFO there. Just give it a good whack to get the Bear Cub back.
2. Raccoon: This UFO is chilling in the arena where you did King Omelet's quiz show. Find it and bash it to free the Raccoon.
3. Piglet: Go to the valley where you found Wonder Spot #1, the Former Onii Grounds. A flying saucer has crashed there, so bash it to rescue the Piglet.
4. Cat: In the valley where you defeated the Onii King, you'll find another flying saucer. Reactivate it to save the Cat.
5. Chick: Travel along the Sunflower Plains, sticking to the lower path. You'll spot a crashed flying saucer containing the Chick.
6. Squirrel: Just north of the Melon Patch, you'll find a flying saucer. Give it a good beating to bring the Squirrel home.
7. Chicken: Re-enter the area where you fought King Duvroc. Look for a newly unlocked path leading southeast. Follow it, and you'll find the crashed UFO with the Chicken inside.
8. Dog: Head back into the Skull Plains. Retrace your steps from the Boney Tunnel exit towards the junction for the Worrywart, Primetime, and Tiptoe Kingdoms. Take the longer route that used to be guarded by Arsonist Oniis – you'll find the UFO with the Dog along this path.
9. Cow: In the Ripe Kingdom, there's a UFO that's crashed near the pinball table. Go give it a bash!
10. Sparrow: Near the Skull Plains Lake, close to the entrance of the Primetime Kingdom, there's a sign marking a dead end. Go up the slope there to find the crashed UFO holding the Sparrow.
11. Penguin: From the red sign marking Haunted Zone 2, head left. You'll see some giant TVs you can destroy with your broadcaster. The crashed flying saucer is hidden amongst them.
12. Rabbit: Find the foot of Mt. Sobamanjaro, near the new Jump Cannon. A crashed UFO is waiting there for you.
13. Sheep: Once you have the Craftian, go through the gate north of Magical Land. To your right, you'll see some building blocks. Use them to create an archway, opening a path. Fight your way through the Yvonnes (those big frog-like enemies), and you'll eventually find the crashed UFO with the Sheep.

After you've rescued 13 animals, Shizuka will send you another letter. She'll tell you the final animal is north of New Island. Head there and follow the main path until you find a flying saucer guarded by some Oniis. Defeat them, reactivate the saucer, and you'll get your Panda! The aliens will thank you and want to go home. Shizuka will then teleport in with all the freed animals, and she'll tell you the colors have returned to the kingdom. The aliens are happy too, and Shizuka will invite you to thank her properly.

You'll both teleport back to the castle ramparts, and looking up, you'll see lots of flying saucers forming a heart shape in the sky. Pretty neat! As a reward for all your hard work, you'll receive a Good Egg.
