Starcats are cute, paracausal creatures that players can find scattered all over the Dreaming City and the new arenas added toDestiny 2inSeason of the Wish.They’re a bit tricky to find, and some are harder to reach than others. Collecting all the cats isn’t just some trivial matter, however, as there are a couple of rewards tied to finding all of them.
There are 14 Starcats in total, andDestiny 2players will need to get them all if they want to unlock the Wishbearer title and the Wyrmguard Ghost Shell. This guide now includes all 14 Starcat locations in Season of the Wish, making it easy for players to find the cute little critters in-game.
Starcat #1 Location: The Blind Well
One of the first Starcats players are likely to encounter is hiding in the Dreaming City — particularly inside the Blind Well’s massive cave. Enter the Blind Well through its normal entrance or teleport directly to it via the map on the Director screen. Then, head to thegiant door at the back of the cave, the one with the white, glowing outline nearwhere the activity’s last boss usually spawns. The cat should be sitting right in front of the door. Hold the interact button to collect it.
Players don’tneed to beat a Blind Well runto get the cat; they can even grab it while the event occurs. Be careful, however, as the Guardians without the Touch of the Sky buff will continuously take damage during the event.
Starcat #2 Location: The Garden of Plenty
The Garden of Plenty is one of the possible locations found within the Riven’s Lair activity. Every time players load into the activity, they’ll get a random map, two pathway areas, and a boss room. If the random map isn’t the Garden of Plenty, then players will have to run the activity again.
To circumvent the randomness, an alternative way to get the right map is to use a character that hasn’t started the season yet and play through thePolysemyquest, one of the intro missions toSeason of the Wish.
After arriving at the Garden of Plenty, clear out all the enemies and face the big pavilion leading to the teleporter. Look left, then head towards the rocks by the cliffside. The Starcat will be sitting on a rocky ledge.
Starcats will give players a random piece of Dreaming City loot, including the reprised versions of the weaponsadded inSeason of the Wish.Collecting all of them is needed to finish the Familiar Felines triumph, which is required for the Wishbearer title.
Starcat #3 Location: Chamber of Starlight
This Week 2 Starcat can be found inside the Chamber of Starlight Lost Sector, which can be found in the ravine under the bridge connecting the Divalian Mists and Rheasilvia. To get the Starcat, go to the Lost Sector’s chest room and go to the round platform to the right. The cat should be standing on the white table in the middle.
Starcat #4 Location: Aphelion’s Rest
Next, players should go to the Aphelion’s Rest Lost Sector on the bottom-right side of The Strand. The entrance is below the big gazebo where Petra can be found. Clear out all enemies to reach the chest room, and jump up the ledge behind the chest to find a tombstone-shaped marker. The cat can be found sitting inside the broken basin.
Starcat #5 Location: Bay of Drowned Wishes
This Lost Sector is found right behind the Dreaming City’s main fast travel point in the Divalian Mists. After loading in, turn around to find a small cave entrance in one of the rocky mounds.Enter the Lost Sector, fight through the waves of Scorn, and get to the chest room. The Starcat is sitting on the outcrop to the right of the chest.
Starcat #6 Location: Temple of the Queen’s Wrath
This Starcat location is a little different from the others that came before it. Players must play through theTautology seasonal questin order to find it. Once players reach the large hall with the braziers and hanging banners, head into the corridor on the right past the pillars. Then, turn right again to find a circle-shaped dead end. The Starcat is behind the large pillar.
Players who missed the cat in this quest can try again using a different character or play Riven’s Lair until they get the same map tile. It’s unclear if the Starcat will spawnin the same location in The Coil.
Starcat #7 Location: Gnashing Chamber
The seventh Starcat in this series is in the Gnashing Chamber, one of the possible combat arenas players will encounter in The Coil. This map resembles the Vault encounter from the Last Wish raid, albeit without the confusing penumbra and antumbra mechanic. To get to the Gnashing Chamber, players must keep looping in The Coil until they arrive at the map.
The cat is sitting on another table covered by a white cloth in the middle of the room. Players don’t have to clear the combat encounter to interact with the Starcat.
Starcat #8 Location: Reaver’s Orison
The fourth week of Season of the Wish added one more Starcat to the game. You can find it in the Reaver’s Orison map, an arena in The Coil where you need to fight waves of Vex and a Taken Ogre boss. Upon spawning in, head to the right of the arena and go to thebase of the dead tree. The Starcat is tucked right between a couple of roots.
Players who are progressing through the seasonal quest line are guaranteed to arrive at Reaver’s Orison during theApophasismission, which is the 27th step of the Season of the Wish quest.
Starcat #9: Spine of Keres
This cat is inside the big tower in the Spine of Keres, which is right next to the Divalian Mists in the Dreaming City. From the fast travel point, head past the Corsair Camp and navigate the cliffside past the alcove to reach the Spine. After reaching the entrance, enter the tower and look for the Techeun on the upper floor. The Starcat is sitting right next to her.
Starcat #10: Harbinger’s Seclude
Start by going to the Harbinger’s Seclude, a temple in the north of the Dreaming City’s Rheasilvia region. Go inside, then proceed to the large hall filled with enemies. On the very far side of it is an entrance toan open-air hallwitha large elevator right below the doorway. Activate the elevator (or drop down) and explore the sublevel. You’ll eventually come across a round chamber with small, adjoining rooms containing altars. You can find the Starcat sitting behind one of them.
Starcat #11: The Confluence
After getting Starcat #10, head back to the round chamber, then face the big Taken Blight by the cliff. There’s a path underneath it that leads to a portal. Enter the portal, then go down the hall toward the big statue to enter The Confluence. Head past the statue, and after entering the adjacent room, go through the door on the left. On the far end of this large room is the entrance tothe Shattered Throne dungeon. The Starcat is right in front of it.
Starcat #12: Gardens of Esila
From the previous Starcat, head back to the room before it, then turn left to the hall with the big tree. Keep following the hallway, and you’ll eventually reach a portal that leads back to the Dreaming City. You’ll be greeted by a group of Taken once you emerge. Deal with them however you wish, then head to the location indicated on the map above. The Starcat is under a bridge.
Starcat #13: Cell of the Sycophant
If you manage to get Cell of the Sycophant in a Riven’s Lair or Coil run, make a beeline toward the big doors at the very end of the hall where all of the enemies are spawning. you’re able to find the Starcat sitting on the grass to the right.
Starcat #14: Astral Cloister
During the Chiasmus mission of the seasonal quest, fight your way past the initial arena to clear the way. Before you head inside the portal to the next passageway, jump onto the floating platform with the statue on the right side. The Starcat should be waiting for you there. Be careful not to fall as it’ll send you straight through the second portal, forcing you to restart the mission for the cat.
