The world of Athia is huge and filled with all sorts of challenges and collectibles. If you’re trying to beat Forspoken and get 100%, then you’ll likely come across Poppets, which can be collected by chasing different cats in locations spread all across Cipal.
These Poppets are essentially small wooden dolls that you can actually use to trade for some useful items. They’re all found in Cipal by completing Detours that entail you chasing around a cat till it comes to a stop. But unfortunately, you won’t be able to collect all of them until postgame.
- There are nine different Poppets in Forspoken.
- You can find the Poppets by completing Detours that require you to chase down different colored cats.
- The Detours unlock during Chapters 3, 4, 7, and 13, which is why it’s better to collect all the Poppets during postgame.
- Poppets can be traded with a Poppet Merchant who appears after Chapter 7.
- Trading all the Poppets with the merchant unlocks the “A Roaring Trade” trophy.
All Poppet Locations
The Poppets are found by completing Detours (side quests) that revolve around chasing a cat in Cipal. There are nine different Poppets, meaning you’ll need to chase cats nine different times to reveal the location of all of the Poppets.
Additionally, the Detours get unlocked as you progress through the story. So, it’s best if you try to collect all of them once you’ve completed the main story. Here’s a summary of each Poppet and when you’ll be able to collect it, with further detail entailed below.
Detour/Poppet | Details |
Poppet #1 – Chasing the Calico Cat | Available during Chapter 3, in South of Cipal. |
Poppet #2 – Chasing the Black and White Cat Part 1 | Unlocked start of Chapter 4, southeast section of Cipal. |

Poppet #5 – Chasing the Gray Cat Part 2 | Available after completing part 1 in Chapter 4 and just before leaving Cipal, near the southern Cipal exit. |
Poppet #6 – Chasing the Striped Cat Part 1 | Unlocks in Chapter 7 after you complete the main objective, “Find Robian.” |
Poppet #7 – Chasing the Striped Cat Part 2 | After you complete the first part in Chapter 7, in the upper city. |

Poppet #9 – Chasing the Black Cat Part 2 | Unlocked after you complete part 1. |
Poppet #1

The cat will run behind you and through the archway. It isn’t fast, but it will go into corners and then immediately back out of them, so keep just a fair distance, so you’re not running around aimlessly behind it. Eventually, it will come to a stop behind a bunch of wooden crates and a group of people talking. You will find the Poppet in a wrapped-up pouch.
Poppet #2

Just like before, the cat will start moving. It’ll move past the wooden crates behind you and will take a sharp right just before the stairs. It’ll head towards another set of stairs by going through a group of people but will take another sharp right just before going up them. After passing through the courtyard, it’ll take another right and stop near a bunch of wooden crates where you’ll find the Poppet.
Poppet #3

The cat will be standing in front of a bunch of wooden crates and barrels. It will run past the guard behind and then will take a right. Just a few steps before the guard standing on the balcony, it will take a left. Then it will go between the guard and his weapon and will take a right again. Finally, it will come to a stop next to some wooden crates, with the Poppet next to them.
Poppet #4

It’ll be slightly tricky to follow just the cat as it’ll likely get hidden among the tall grass. Therefore, keep a look out for its yellow marker and keep following it. The cat will go down the stairs, past the pillared pathway. Then it’ll take a left and walk on the edge of a bunch of stones. Eventually, it’ll lead you to a small rocky hill, with the Poppet next to a sheep.
Poppet #5

The cat will begin running along the wooden fence and past the wooden structure. It’ll head left and towards the guard, where it’ll run in a circle, but then will turn left again, going past the group of guards standing next to the gate. Eventually, the cat will turn right and lead you downstairs towards the Poppet.
Poppet #6

The cat will begin running and will head upstairs, to your left. Then it’ll follow along the path and go down the steps on the right side. Eventually, it’ll stop by the little shack and the wooden crates underneath the shade.
Poppet #7

You’ll find the cat standing next to the red-dressed guard. It’ll run in the opposite direction to the guards and will turn left in the direction of the stairs leading up. But just before going up the stairs, it’ll turn left again and will take the stairs going downwards. Keep following the cat down the stairs, and it’ll eventually stop next to a bunch of covered crates.
Poppet #8

When you talk to it, it’ll begin running. Chase it downstairs, and it’ll go past an archway. Then it’ll turn left into a little enclosed area where you’ll find the Poppet.
Poppet #9

Poppet Merchant

Item | Description | Price (Poppets) |
Nugget | You can increase your maximum Healing Draughts by using this crafting material. | 1 |
Pelerine | A cloak that uses critical hits to restore your health. | 1 |
Bumbershoot | Crafting material used for upgrading necklaces and crafting new equipment. | 2 |
Stranith | A cloak that can heal from debuffs more quickly. | 5 |
You can actually buy everything from the trader once you’ve acquired all Poppets. Once you do, you’ll unlock the “A Roaring Trade” trophy. It’s best if you buy everything except Bumbershoot in Chapter 7, as you can find those out in the wild as well. And after you acquire the two Poppets from postgame, you can get the Bumbershoot to get the trophy.
With that, you know all of the Poppet locations in Forspoken. They can all be easily attained once you complete the entire main storyline, and all you need to do is chase the cats to find the locations. And when you collect all of them, you can trade them in for some really nice gear and a trophy!
