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

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the intricate web of plots extends beyond the main conflict, delving into the shadowy world of the Butterfly Collector. If you're on the hunt for this enigmatic group and its members, we've got you covered with a detailed guide to unraveling their secrets.

The Butterfly Collector in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Explained

Your journey to uncover the Butterfly Collector begins in the bustling city of Osaka, nestled in the central part of Izumi Settsu. Here, you'll encounter a woman discussing a curious game of hunting origami butterflies, which you can also find scattered around the city. As you collect these large paper butterflies, pinned to tree trunks and surrounded by fluttering real butterflies, you'll uncover disturbing notes that reveal the sinister nature of the Butterfly Collector. This group is far from harmless; it's a secret society of women intent on kidnapping children from affluent families to gain power and influence. Your mission is clear: hunt down these five nefarious members and thwart their plans.

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

Just like other quests in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, finding the Butterfly Collector members requires you to follow geographical clues. We'll guide you directly to each target, saving you the trouble of piecing together the puzzle.

Shucho

Shucho's carelessness leads you to her in the Fishermen’s District, located at the southeastern tip of Osaka. Dressed in green, she's frantically searching for a kidnapped child at an intersection. Use Naoe's blade or Yasuke's brute force to take her down, 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 just south of the ruins. Use the child's resistance to your advantage, confront Mucho when she attacks, and then escort the child back to her mother before moving on to the next target.

Richo

Richo, a young woman with ambitions beyond her station, can be found in the northern part of Osaka, specifically in Noda Village across the water. She's often seen entering and exiting a bamboo grove, checking on the ransom for her latest victim. Dressed in pink, you'll find her deeper in the grove. Neutralize her and rescue the child she's holding.

Kacho

After dealing with the previous targets, you'll confront Kacho, the leader of the Butterfly Collector. Her cult-like control over her followers makes her a formidable opponent. She's located just north of the Nishinomaru Garden, west of Osaka Castle, in a restricted zone. When you spot a flurry of butterflies, you know you're close. Engage her in dialogue, then prepare for a deadly confrontation. Kacho will fight to the end, leaving one final member to deal with.

Gamemaker

Return to the Gamemaker, the woman who initiated the butterfly collecting quest. As a former victim herself, she devised the game to expose the Butterfly Collector's activities and save others from her fate. You'll face a moral dilemma: punish her for her involvement or allow her to start anew. Choosing the latter will let her adopt a new identity and life.

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