Destiny 2 Season of the Wish has taken players back to the Dreaming City, where everyone must aid the Queen for one final wish. However, things haven't gone as smoothly as planned for the Queensguard, as the wish granter wants a hefty sum of eggs in return. Hence, players must return to the home of the Awoken to complete objectives and gather secrets essential to the seasonal seals.

One such secret comes from familiar feline visitors in the Queen's domains, known as Starcats. Fourteen cats can be found throughout the season, with very few arriving weekly.

Week 1 of Season of the Wish has brought two Starcats into the game, one at the entrance of Blind Well and the other in one of the tilesets of Riven's Lair mission.


Where to find all Starcats in Destiny 2 Season of the Wish

Here is a summarized list of the Starcat locations in Season of the Wish. It is recommended to complete the seasonal weekly quest step once before venturing out.

  • The first Starcat can be found right at the door of the Blind Well's entrance.
  • The second Starcat can be found in one of Riven's Lair encounters, specifically in the Garden of Plenty after the "Polysemy" objective.
  • The third Starcat can be found in the "Tautology" weekly story quest, or within a random Riven's Lair tileset.
  • The fourth Starcat can be found near the chest of the "Chamber of Starlight" Lost Sector.
  • The fifth Starcat can be found near the chest of the "Bay of Drowned Wishes" Lost Sector.
  • The sixth Starcat can be found near the chest of the "Aphelion's Rest" Lost Sector.
  • The seventh Starcat can be found in the Gnashing Chamber of The Coil or Riven's Lair.
  • The eight Starcat can be found in the Apophasis mission, at the base of a tree to the right of a spawning point.
  • The ninth Starcat can be found in the Spine of Keres, inside the building with planets.
  • The tenth Starcat can be found in Harbinger's Seclude, past the Rheasilvia.
  • The eleventh Starcat can be found in Confluence, following the Starcat in the Harbinger's Seclude.
  • The twelfth Starcat can be found in the Garden of Esila, following the Confluence.
  • The thirteenth Starcat can be found in the Chiasmus mission, specifically on the foot of a statue in space.
  • The fourteenth Starcat can be found in the Synchysis mission, just before the portal within the statue room.
  • The fifteenth Starcat can be found after completing all Exotic steps in Starcrossed. Head inside the portal and keep walking until you get the "Well-tended Garden" emblem to find the Starcat.

After you have placed offerings for all of the Starcats, the progression toward the "Familiar Felines" triumph under the Wishbearer seal should be 15 out of 15.


1) Starcat location #1

To find the first Starcat, open the Dreaming City map and load it into a Blind Well instance. It is best to assist players in an ongoing run of the activity. Once done, look towards the colossal entrance door on one side of the central well. The image below should provide a more precise idea.

Approach the cat and place your offering as asked. You will be rewarded with 100 Riven's Reputation EXP for the season and a random Dreaming City weapon.

The Starcat will disappear after you obtain the rewards.


2) Starcat location #2

Finding the second Starcat for Week 1 in Season 23 can be tricky, as it is locked behind a random encounter of Riven's Lair mission. To start, initiate the mission "Riven Lair" from the HELM map and look for the "Polysemy" objective at the start.

The whole mission is randomized with different enemies and maps, so keep resetting until you find Polysemy.

Keep progressing until you reach the final portal of the objective, "Escape through the Portal," which leads you to an open space, as shown below. The area is called the Garden of Plenty.

You can ignore all enemies and go straight towards the end of the road, past the waterfall. Just before the platform with multiple pillars, look to your left for a gap, as shown in the image below.

Place offerings to the Starcat underneath the gap to complete Week 1's quota.


3) Starcat location #3

Spawn after loading into the Tautology mission and progress by following the objectives. Eventually, you will come across a statue of a Techeun in front of you. The image below should provide a clearer idea of the room.
