Here's a quick guide on how to use Aaron's cat abilities effectively in 1666: Amsterdam.
In 1666: Amsterdam, Aaron’s cat is more than a cute companion. It can be helpful for finding your way around the city, gathering information and accessing hard-to-reach places. Knowing when to use its abilities can help grease the wheels of exploration, especially on an investigation.
Use the Cat to Scout in Advance
Another easy use of the cat is to send it in front of you when you want to check out an area before going in yourself. This is helpful for when you don’t know what is around the corner or inside a nearby location.
Don't charge ahead; use the cat to get a better view of your surroundings. It gives you a different way to explore without placing Aaron directly in the middle of things right away.
Hard-to-Reach Places
Amsterdam has lots of buildings, narrow paths and places not always easy for Aaron to get to. The cat can be helpful in passing through spaces too small or awkward for him.
Anytime you spot a possible path Aaron cannot take, see if the cat can get through. You may find another way, or get to something useful on the other side.
Seek Helpful Information
The cat can also help you when you are exploring your environment. Don’t just use it to get around and bring it back right away. Pause to see if there's anything to check.
In an investigation, even the smallest detail, when paired with another clue, can be useful. Make sure to properly explore any new areas the cat opens for you before moving on.
Use it in your investigations
When hunting a suspect or learning a location, the cat gives you another way to get things done. This can be handy when walking into an area might draw attention.
Try sending the cat to close-by spaces first. When you know what’s around you, you can make a decision about how Aaron should go, rather than rushing in blind.
Combine Aaron’s Abilities
The cat is best used as part of your overall tool kit. Use it to investigate or gather information then switch back to Aaron when you need to interact with people, investigate clues or continue the objective. There is more to be gained by being able to switch between the two when the situation calls for it.
Final Thoughts
If you’re only thinking about objectives, it’s easy to ignore Aaron’s cat skills, but they can make exploring so much easier. Scout areas with the cat, check difficult spaces and gather information before deciding your next move. Once you get used to switching between Aaron and his cat, you can explore Amsterdam much more flexibly.
