In the universe of Nioh 3, players will encounter charming, feline-like creations known as Scampusses. These adorable beings can be spotted in various regions throughout the game. When you cross paths with a Scampuss, you have the opportunity to interact with it by attempting to pet it. However, these mischievous creatures will often roll away, prompting players to chase after them for another attempt. Successfully petting them rewards you with special items, including Samurai and Ninja Locks or a delightful Scampuss Furball.

For those looking to gain additional rewards, the Scampuss Furballs can be exchanged with the Giant Scampuss. In return, players receive a powerful Ninjutsu ability that allows them to take on the form of a giant Scampuss. If you’re on a quest to locate all the Scampusses scattered across the Warring States, the following guide will help you navigate their hiding spots.

Starting with the Tenryu River, players can find a Scampuss just south of the Prospect Hill Shrine. At the crossroads, take a left, and you’ll discover the playful creature leading you through a crouched passage.

The next location is near the Forest of Souls Shrine in the Tokaido region. Here, the Scampuss waits right alongside the shrine, making it an easy catch.

Moving on to Hamamatsu, players should head south after defeating Jakotsu-Baba in the Crucible mission. Fast-travel to Otemon Gate, and venture southward to find the elusive Scampuss.

In the vicinity of Lake Sanaru, players will want to enter from Maisaka Post Shrine. Once you cross the bridge to the left into Lake Sanaru, a Scampuss awaits, providing access to valuable items like Kagutsuchi’s Magatama required for a blacksmith’s quest.

Traveling to Mikatagahara, engage north from the Otsuri Bridge Shrine. Continue straight down the path, and right ahead, a Scampuss will be waiting for you.

At the entrance to Lake Hamana, you’ll discover another Scampuss, though it will only appear after completing the Disaster at Lake Hamana myth.

Lastly, in Iinoya, from the Iinoya Pass Shrine, follow the road to the left and navigate to a southern path where another Scampuss can be found.

With these directions, players can fully explore the enchanting world of Nioh 3, collect valuable items, and enjoy interactions with the playful Scampusses throughout their journey.
