"Discovering Butterfly Collectors in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Locations and Methods"

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, there's more to the story than just the main conflict. If you're on a quest to uncover the secrets of the Butterfly Collector and its members, we've got you covered with a detailed guide to help you through this intriguing storyline.

The Butterfly Collector in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Explained

Your journey with the Butterfly Collector begins in the bustling city of Osaka, nestled in the central part of Izumi Settsu. Here, you'll encounter a woman in the town center who speaks of a game involving the collection of origami butterflies. As you explore Osaka on horseback, you'll stumble upon these large paper butterflies pinned to tree trunks, surrounded by fluttering real butterflies.

As you collect these butterflies, you'll uncover disturbing notes that reveal the true nature of the Butterfly Collector. Far from a harmless game, this is a clandestine group of women who target children from affluent families for kidnapping, aiming to gain power and influence. It's up to you to stop them by tracking down each member of this sinister faction.

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

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, finding the Butterfly Collector members involves following geographical clues. We'll guide you directly to each target, saving you the hassle of piecing together the puzzle yourself.

Shucho

Start your hunt in the Fishermen’s District at the southeastern tip of Osaka. Shucho, dressed in green, can be found frantically searching at an intersection. She's lost the child she kidnapped, who is hiding behind nearby horses. Use Naoe’s blade or Yasuke’s brute force to take her down and rescue the child.

Mucho

Next, head northwest across the bridge to the Kojo ruins. Mucho has disguised herself as a family jochu to get close to her targets. You'll find her struggling with her latest victim on the road just south of the ruins. Use the child's resistance to your advantage, and after defeating Mucho, reunite the child with their mother.

Richo

Richo, a young woman who pretends to be of higher standing despite her peasant-like speech, 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. Take her down stealthily or through combat to save her latest victim.

Kacho

After dealing with the previous three members, you'll face Kacho, the leader of the Butterfly Collector. She's located just north of the Nishinomaru Garden west of Osaka Castle, in a restricted area. Look for a spot with many butterflies flying about. Engage her in conversation, then prepare for a deadly confrontation. Kacho will not reveal her true identity and will fight to the death.

Gamemaker

Finally, return to the Gamemaker, the woman who initiated the butterfly collecting quest. As a former victim herself, she created the game to expose the Butterfly Collector's activities and save others. You'll have a choice: punish her for her involvement or allow her a chance to start anew. Choosing the latter will enable her to adopt a new name and life.

Once you've made your decision, the Butterfly Collector faction will be dismantled, and you'll earn 5,500 XP toward your next level.
