Wylde Flowers: How to Shapeshift Into a Cat & Catch Crickets

Crickets are a type of bait in Wylde Flowers and players have been wondering if it’s possible to catch these little bugs.

While initially, it may seem impossible, there is actually one unique way that allows players to catch crickets.

To catch crickets, players will need to shapeshift into a cat; cool, right?

In this guide, I will explain how to catch crickets in Wylde Flowers and guide you on how to transform into a cat.

How to Complete ‘While the Cat’s Away’ Quest

In the coven storyline, players will eventually have to learn to transform into a cat. This way, they’ll be able to get useful information from Cameron’s notebook.

To access this storyline, you will need to first turn the season to summer. If you’re not sure how, check out our guide on how to change seasons in Wylde Flowers.

After talking to the high priestess, travel to Ravenwood Hollow and talk to Aryel. Then, he’ll transform you into a cat and you will have to go to the conference center and find the notebook you’re looking for.

Lastly, report back to the high priestess, and that’s all.

How to Shapeshift to a Cat

While the quest allows you to transform into a cat, it’s a one-time transformation. To repeat the process, players have to use the newly unlocked incantation.

Specifically, players will unlock the Animal Shapeshifting Spell. This magic spell requires the following ingredients:

  • 1 Paper
  • 1 Ink
  • 1 Conch Shell
  • 1 Cat Fur

After gathering all ingredients, the incantation will allow you to shapeshift into a cat.

To transform into a cat, you will need to interact with the cat and select the magic wand option after crafting the incantation.

Also, keep in mind that shapeshifting doesn’t last forever. When the morning comes, players will get transformed back to Tara, their normal form.

How to Catch Crickets

As a cat, you have some unique traits. One of those is being able to catch crickets.

Catching crickets is fairly simple since all you have to do is go near them and press the interact button. The hard part is actually finding them.

Crickets are usually roaming around the forest.

While you can only turn into a cat at night, thankfully you can stay awake for longer. Specifically, you can roam around until 4:30 am, which is when you’ll pass out as a cat.

This means you have some extra time to explore the forest and catch crickets.

In addition, cats can also catch fish while skipping the fishing rod and bait part. Just interact with any fishing spot and you’ll get a fish.

Conclusion

And that’s how to transform into a cat and catch crickets in Wylde Flowers. Shapeshifting adds a unique take on the game and playing as a cut is definitely a fun experience.

Now that you’ve unlocked the shapeshifting recipe, you should consider unlocking level 15 in the mines and mining gold ore if you haven’t done so yet. Check out our relevant guide for more details.
