In Forza Horizon 5, players will need to find the decorative lion mural if they hope to complete the Herding Cats Photo Challenge. The challenge tasks players with finding the mural in the town of Playa Azul, which is located near a beach on the East coast of Mexico. Once players locate the mural, they will need to park a Jaguar car in front of it and capture a photo. Once players complete this task, they will earn the Cat Meow car horn and two points towards unlocking the Seasonal and Series reward cars. Players will need these points for the Forza Horizon 5 New Year Accolades, but it is only available for the summer of Series 3.
Players should first look for the lion mural designed by the artist Farid Rueda on the map to complete this challenge. It can be found in the beach town of Playa Azul, which is located on the East coast. Once players have identified where they need to go, they need to ensure they are riding a Jaguar car, such as the Jaguar Sport XJR-15, one of the in-game barn finds. Players can then drive their Jaguar or fast travel to Playa Azul.
To find the 1991 Jaguar Sport XJR-15, players will need to start the Horizon Wilds Expedition. Players will then find the barn with the car hidden inside during the mission. Even if players miss the Forza Horizon 5 barn find while playing through the mission, they can go back to the barn later once the mission has been unlocked. The Jaguar Sport XJR-15 is hidden at the abandoned airport barn, which is located in the Southwest corner of the map.
The Lion Mural Location in Forza Horizon 5
With their Jaguar, players should then travel on the most Eastern road on the map that goes through the town of Playa Azul. Players will know they are in the correct location when they are driving North on the road with the beach and some houses to their right. As they progress down this road, players will soon spot a light-blue building on their left adorned with a large and multi-colored lion face painted on it. The building with the mural in Forza Horizon 5 will be visible just after a slight curve in the road. Additionally, players can use Drone Mode if they would prefer to find the location before driving through the city.
Once players have located the brightly colored lion mural on the side of the building, they will need to park their Jaguar in front of it. Once parked, players should enter photo mode, which is done by pressing up on the D-Pad using an Xbox Controller. When snapping the photo, players should ensure both their Jaguar and the lion mural are clearly visible in the frame. Next, players can press RB to take their picture. If done correctly, players will see the Herding Cats Photo Challenge requirements on the Horizon Promo screen. For completing the challenge, players will receive a gold stamp and the Cat Meow horn to customize their car in Forza Horizon 5.
Forza Horizon 5 is available for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
