"Locating Butterfly Collectors in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Tips and Locations"

The Butterfly Collector in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Explained

Your journey begins in Osaka, the central hub of Izumi Settsu. Here, you'll encounter a woman in the heart of the city discussing a game involving origami butterflies. As you explore, you'll discover these large paper butterflies pinned to tree trunks, surrounded by real butterflies. Collecting them leads you to uncover sinister notes, revealing that the Butterfly Collector is far from a harmless group. Instead, it's a secretive faction of women involved in kidnapping children from affluent families to gain power and influence. Your mission is clear: stop these nefarious activities by hunting down all five members of the Butterfly Collector.

How and Where To Find All Butterfly Collector Members in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Tracking down the Butterfly Collector members involves deciphering geographical clues, but we'll streamline your search by pinpointing their locations.

Shucho

Shucho's carelessness provides your entry point into the group. She lost a kidnapped child in the Fishermen’s District at the southeastern tip of Osaka. Dressed in green, she can be found frantically searching at an intersection. Confront her with Naoe’s blade or Yasuke’s weapons, then rescue the child hiding behind nearby horses.

Mucho

Head northwest from Shucho's location, crossing the bridge to reach the Kojo ruins. Mucho, disguised as a family jochu, is struggling with her target on the road south of the ruins. Use the child's resistance to your advantage, and after Mucho attacks, defeat her. Escort the child back to her mother before moving on to the next target.

Richo

Richo, a young woman who pretends to be of higher standing, can be found in the bamboo grove at Noda Village, just north of Osaka across the water. She's dressed in pink and checking on a ransom payment. Approach her stealthily or engage in combat, then rescue the child she's holding.

Kacho

After dealing with the previous targets, you'll confront Kacho, the leader of the Butterfly Collector. She's located just north of the Nishinomaru Garden, west of Osaka Castle, in a restricted zone. Look for a flurry of butterflies to find her. Engage in conversation, then prepare for a deadly fight. Kacho's demise will leave one final member to address.

Gamemaker

Return to the Gamemaker, who initiated the butterfly collecting quest. As a former victim, she created the game to expose the Butterfly Collector's activities. You'll face a moral choice: punish her for her involvement or allow her to start anew. Choosing the latter lets her adopt a new identity and life. Regardless of your decision, the Butterfly Collector faction will be dismantled, earning you 5,500 XP toward your next level.
