The Butterfly Collector in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Explained

Your adventure begins in the bustling city of Osaka, located in the central part of Izumi Settsu. Here, you'll encounter a woman in the town center who speaks of a game involving the pursuit of origami butterflies. These large paper butterflies, often pinned to tree trunks with real butterflies fluttering around them, are scattered throughout the city. As you collect them, you'll start to uncover disturbing notes that reveal the Butterfly Collector's true nature. Far from a harmless game, this secret society of women is involved in the sinister act of kidnapping children from affluent families to establish power and influence. Your mission is clear: you must stop them. The Butterfly Collector faction comprises five members, each waiting to be discovered within the game.

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

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, tracking down the Butterfly Collector members involves deciphering geographical clues, but we're here to streamline your quest by pinpointing their locations.

Shucho

Shucho's recklessness leads you to her in the Fishermen’s District at the southeastern tip of Osaka. Dressed in green and visibly frantic at an intersection, she has lost the child she kidnapped. Dispatch her using 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 the Kojo ruins. Mucho, disguised as a family jochu, is struggling with her target just south of the ruins. Use the child's resistance to your advantage; when Mucho attacks, neutralize her and reunite the child with their mother before pursuing the next member.

Richo

Richo, a young woman masquerading as someone of higher standing, frequents a bamboo grove in Noda Village, just across the water at the northern end of Osaka. Rumors of a suspicious woman checking ransom payments will lead you to her. Find her dressed in pink within the grove, take her down, and rescue the child she holds captive.

Kacho

After eliminating the previous members, you'll confront Kacho, the leader of the Butterfly Collector. Her control over her followers is cult-like, making her a formidable opponent. She's located north of the Nishinomaru Garden, west of Osaka Castle, in a restricted area. The presence of many butterflies will signal you're in the right place. Engage her in conversation, then prepare for a fierce battle to the death, uncovering her true identity before she falls.

Gamemaker

Finally, return to the Gamemaker, who initiated the butterfly collecting quest. As a former victim, she created this game hoping someone would solve the mystery and prevent others from suffering her fate. You face a moral choice: punish her for her involvement or allow her to start anew with a new name and life. Your decision will disband the Butterfly Collector faction, earning you 5,500 XP towards your next level.
