There are a total of 38 Owls to be found in Tales of Arise—32 regular Owls and 6 “Special” Owls. While the regular Owls can be discovered during your first playthrough, you’ll only be able to access the Special Owls after completing the game at least once.
We recommend getting started finding Owls as soon as possible, because there’s one that you can miss: Owl #26. It’s only accessible during a very specific part of the story. After you’ve progressed past it, the area where the Owl is located cannot be revisited.
