Finding all the missing felines for Big Gay Al in South Park: The Fractured But Whole is one of the most memorable scavenger hunt side quests in the game. Players must locate six distinct cats scattered across town, but capturing them requires specific time-manipulation abilities. Equipping the right tools and mastering the necessary skills beforehand will make rescuing every lost pet a smooth process.
Essential Prerequisites and Core Capture Tactics
Before beginning your search, ensure you have progressed far enough in the main story to unlock the TimeFart Pause ability. You will also need a supply of Snap N' Pops to knock down cats resting high above the ground. Approaching a cat without freezing time will cause it to startle and run away immediately.
Locating the Tree-Dwelling Cats
Big Gay Kirby is perched in a tree right outside Bebe's house near the northern edge of town. Throw a Snap N' Pop at the branch to bring the cat down, then quickly activate TimeFart Pause to grab it. Big Gay Bono is similarly hidden in a tree near the South Park Church fast travel station. Use the same combination of firecrackers and paused time to secure the feline before it runs away.
Finding the Ground Level Pets
Big Gay Shadow relaxes on the snow-covered path located near the playground. Approach carefully and freeze time just as you get close to capture it without initiating a chase. Big Gay Loki rests near the construction zone by the South Park Mall. Utilize your time-stopping power before stepping within its detection radius to collect it safely.
Reaching the Distant Felines
To capture Big Gay Bogie, travel toward Hillvale Farm in the northeastern section of town. Solve the environmental puzzle involving the farmer using TimeFart Pause, then locate Bogie on a tree branch in the woods beyond. Big Gay Blossom requires traveling to the upper scaffolding inside the SoDoSoPa ruins. Use the Fartkour ability twice to ascend to the top platform where Blossom is waiting.
Quest Completion Rewards
After successfully capturing all six missing cats, return to Big Gay Al's house to hand over his pets. He will reward your efforts with the Feline Costume Set and the Snowcat Costume Set. Completing this objective also grants players the chance to take an exclusive selfie with Big Gay Al for their Coonagram roster.
