Find all three Rally the Cats kittens in Where Winds Meet with the exact Mercyheart Monastery start point, Divine Craft Dungeon locations, and simple return route to Miaomiao.
To catch the 3 cats in Where Winds Meet, start Rally the Cats at Mercyheart Monastery, then check the nearby Divine Craft Dungeon entrances for kittens near Vanishing Steps in Snow, Stone Quake, and Coppergold Hollow before returning to Miaomiao.
The three cats most players are hunting in Where Winds Meet belong to the Rally the Cats side story, where you track down three missing kittens scattered around the Divine Craft Dungeons. It’s a short, combat-free quest once you know the route, but the kittens sit in spots that are easy to walk straight past. This guide covers exactly where each one hides and how to wrap the quest up.

Which three cats this guide actually covers
It’s worth clearing up a mix-up early, because two different “three cats” things float around for this game. This walkthrough is about the Rally the Cats kittens — three missing cats you find out in the world and bring back to Miaomiao.
Some footage labelled “three initial cats” is a completely separate thing: it’s about buying and unlocking your starter companion cats from the in-game companion shop, not catching the missing Rally the Cats kittens. If that’s what you’re after instead, jump down to the starter-cat method further below — but for the actual quest, keep reading.
Starting Rally the Cats at Mercyheart Monastery
Rally the Cats begins at Mercyheart Monastery, tucked into the northwestern corner of Qinghe. From the monastery entrance, head west toward the shoreline and cliff edge, where you’ll find Miaomiao standing with her cat, Boss Meow.
Talk to Miaomiao to accept the quest. This spawns the three missing kittens in the world and updates your objective to go find them around the nearby Divine Craft Dungeons. Players report that Boss Meow hands you a bell used to coax the missing cats back — treat that as a quest detail rather than something to fuss over, since the important part is simply finding each kitten and interacting with it.
Where all three kittens hide near the Divine Craft Dungeons
| Cat | Nearby dungeon entrance | Direction from quest start | Exact clue |
|---|---|---|---|
| First kitten | Vanishing Steps in Snow | A few steps east of the quest start | On a rocky ledge behind a statue; the NPC Jingkong wanders nearby |
| Second kitten | Stone Quake | Southeast of the first kitten | Right beside the dungeon entrance |
| Third kitten | Coppergold Hollow | Farther east | To the right of the entrance, up on a rocky ledge |
The first kitten near Vanishing Steps in Snow is the closest, perched behind a statue on a low rocky ledge. From there, the second sits southeast by the Stone Quake entrance, and the third is the one most people miss — pushed farther east to Coppergold Hollow, off to the right of that entrance on another ledge. Where it’s supported, activating Wind Sense highlights nearby interactive targets and makes spotting the kittens much easier, so flick it on each time you reach an entrance.
The kitten everyone loses is the far-east third one at Coppergold Hollow — after the first two near the closer caves, keep heading east and check the ledge to the right of that entrance rather than assuming you’ve cleared the area.
How to unlock the other two starter cats in Where Winds Meet
This next part is the separate starter-cat method mentioned up top — handy if what you actually wanted was to round out your companion cats rather than finish the quest. With this route you can pick up three starter cats easily; the CES cat stays locked and can’t be chosen this way, so don’t count it as part of this set.

Place them in Companion to unlock two more cats
Use the two from the Companion menu to free up the remaining starter cats.

Common mistakes that leave a kitten uncaught
By far the most frequent slip is searching inside the Divine Craft Dungeons instead of around the cave mouths and puzzle-dungeon entrances. The kittens are always near the entry points, so a long crawl through a dungeon is a sign you’re in the wrong place.
The second is missing the third kitten at the far eastern Coppergold Hollow entrance. A common community question is literally about where that kitten “by the far-right cave” is — players find the first two easily, then assume the quest is bugged when it’s really just one more entrance east.
A few players never get the kittens to appear at all because they didn’t talk to Miaomiao first — without accepting the quest, nothing spawns in the world. And don’t confuse Rally the Cats with Cat Plays or the Meow Meow puzzles; those are separate cat activities, not the three quest targets.
Where to go after Rally the Cats
Once the kittens are back with Miaomiao, there’s plenty more cat content to chase. Cat Plays are separate interactable cat NPCs you pet to build friendship in areas like Jade Gate Pass and Blissful Retreat, and the Cat Fever achievement asks you to interact with multiple cats around the Hexi region.
Beyond that, the Meow Meow challenges add cat chases, bell puzzles, bowls, and similar tasks, while the wider pet companion system lets you choose from your unlocked cats — all worth a look once this quest is done.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the three cats inside the Divine Craft Dungeons?
No. All three kittens sit just outside or around the dungeon and cave entrances, not deep inside them. If you’ve walked into a puzzle dungeon, turn around and search the entrance area and nearby ledges instead.
Where is the third kitten near the far-right cave?
The third kitten is at the Coppergold Hollow entrance, farther east than the first two. It’s positioned to the right of the entrance, up on a rocky ledge — the spot most players overlook.
Do you need Wind Sense to find the kittens?
It isn’t strictly required, but Wind Sense is the intended way to locate them — it highlights nearby interactive targets, so flicking it on at each entrance makes the kittens far easier to spot.
Is Rally the Cats the same as Cat Plays or Meow Meow puzzles?
No. Cat Plays are separate cat NPCs you pet for friendship, and Meow Meow challenges are a different category of cat tasks. Rally the Cats is its own side story with three specific missing kittens.
What rewards do you get for catching all three cats?
Returning the kittens to Miaomiao turns in the side story for its completion rewards, but the exact item and currency amounts aren’t clearly confirmed in available sources and may vary by patch, so treat any fixed payout you see as unverified.
