Crimson Desert Fat Cat: Location And How To Get It
Image Credit: Gaming Prodigy/YouTube
The fat cat (the cute little chonker) in Crimson Desert looks like a joke at first, but it is actually a full tame system with trust, daily limits, and a few weird tricks the game never explains. If you tried interacting with it and nothing happened, you were missing how the process works.
How To Get Fat Cat In Crimson Desert
To get the fat cat, you need to raise its trust to 100 by petting it and feeding it dropped food across one or more in game days, then register it as a pet.
It is not instant, and you will likely need at least one reset at midnight to finish it. Note that we’ve included a video below if you find that helpful as well.
Fat Cat Location In Hernand
The fat cat can appear in multiple spots, but there is one reliable area early.
Near Nas River Fishing Dock, slightly west of the dock
Around Hernand main road near Rhett’s path
Near the fountain entrance with guards
Around constable cages near a light post
If it is not there, leave the area and come back to force a respawn.
Step By Step Fat Cat Taming Process
This is the clean path that actually works.
Find the fat cat and pick it up
Pet it multiple times to build early trust
Drop food near it so it eats
Repeat until you hit the daily cap
Wait until midnight for reset
Continue petting and feeding to reach 100
Once you hit max trust, you can register it as your pet.
How Trust Gains Actually Work
This is where most people mess up.
Petting gives a chunk of trust each time
Feeding gives around 10 trust per food
You can only do a limited number of actions per day
Total trust builds in stages, not all at once
A typical run looks like this:
Pet to around 25
Feed to around 50 to 60
Wait for midnight
Pet again to around 80
Feed to reach 100
How To Feed The Fat Cat Properly
Feeding is not done through a menu.
Open inventory
Select food like fish or bird meat
Use discard to drop it on the ground
Let the cat walk over and eat it
You can also buy fish nearby instead of cooking if you want to speed things up.
How To Stop The Cat From Running Away
This part saves a lot of frustration.
Pick up the cat and carry it
Bring it into a small enclosed space
Drop it inside so it cannot wander far
Stay nearby while feeding
Yes, you are basically babysitting a cat, but it works.
Important Things To Watch Out For
A few things can break your progress if you are not careful.
NPCs can take dropped food
The cat can despawn if you leave
You may need to reload the area to find it again
Sometimes the pet register can bug out
If the cat disappears after taming, move away and come back, it usually fixes it.
What The Fat Cat Does After Taming
Once registered, it becomes a real pet.
Follows you around when summoned
Can help pick up resources
Adds passive value while you play
It is not just cosmetic, it actually helps.
Final Blurb
The fat cat is one of the best hidden systems early on, but only if you understand the trust loop. Pet it, feed it, wait for reset, and keep it from running off. Do that, and you end up with a solid pet and a very round companion following you everywhere.
