Tales of Arise has a number of different collectibles for you to find, but none are quite as striking as the Dahnan Owls scattered throughout the different realms of Dahna. While the owls you find won’t benefit you in combat, they are incredibly useful for players looking to make their very own bunny boy in a game that isn’t called Final Fantasy XIV. That’s right: for each Dahnan Owl you find, you’ll be gifted with cosmetics ranging from bunny ears and bandages to wolf tails and fake mustaches.

There are 38 Dahnan Owls that you can find in Tales of Arise. Here’s our guide on how to find all these adorable birds, and the reward each one will net. Be warned: some of these screenshots will have spoilers within them.

A quick tip before we start: as soon as you recruit Rinwell, you’ll get to use her Map Ability. Make liberal use of it! This ability makes Hootle (her owl) appear whenever there is an owl hiding somewhere on the map.

The green owl in Adan Lake is a bit of a trek to get to, but is well worth it for the cosmetic. You’ll need to climb up a hill, circle around, and then jump over to the other side where you can see the owl and get close enough to examine it. It can be a little tricky to get to, which is probably why they gave this bird some angry glasses…

Owl 29

As you explore Shinefall Woods, you’ll eventually come across a hill leading upwards, as well as an arch that goes over it. Climb the hill, turn to the left, and tightrope your way towards the owl at the end of the arch. Looks like he’s hurt his eye, the poor fella.
