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

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the intricate web of plots extends beyond the main conflict, drawing players into the shadowy world of the Butterfly Collector. If you're on a quest to uncover this mysterious group and its members, we're here to guide you through the journey.

The Butterfly Collector in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Explained

Your adventure with the Butterfly Collector begins in the bustling city of Osaka, nestled in the heart of Izumi Settsu. Here, you'll encounter a woman discussing a seemingly innocent game of hunting origami butterflies. As you explore the city, you'll come across these large paper butterflies, pinned to tree trunks and surrounded by real butterflies.

However, collecting these butterflies leads to the discovery of sinister notes, revealing that the Butterfly Collector is far from harmless. It's a clandestine group of women with a dark agenda—kidnapping children from affluent families to gain power and influence. Your mission is clear: you must thwart their plans and bring these individuals to justice. The faction comprises five members, each requiring your attention and skill to locate and confront.

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

To track down the Butterfly Collector members, you'll need to follow geographical clues, but we're here to make your hunt more straightforward by pinpointing their locations.

Shucho

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

Mucho

Next, head northwest across the bridge to the Kojo ruins. Mucho, disguised as a family jochu, is struggling with her mark on the road south of the ruins. Use the child’s resistance to your advantage, engage Mucho, and defeat her. Escort the child back to her mother, then move on to the next target.

Richo

Richo, a young woman posing as someone of higher standing, frequents a bamboo grove in Noda Village, just north of Osaka across the water. Rumors of a suspicious woman checking on ransom payments lead you to her. Find her dressed in pink within the grove, take her down, and rescue the kidnapped child.

Kacho

After eliminating the previous targets, you'll confront Kacho, the leader of the Butterfly Collector. Her location, just north of the Nishinomaru Garden west of Osaka Castle, is in a restricted zone, so approach with caution. The presence of many butterflies will guide you to her. Engage in conversation, then prepare for a deadly confrontation. Kacho will not reveal her true identity, leaving you to end her reign.

Gamemaker

Finally, return to the Gamemaker, the one who initiated the butterfly collection quest. As a former victim, she created the game to expose the Butterfly Collector and save others. You face a choice: punish her for her involvement or allow her a chance at redemption. Choosing the latter lets her start anew with a new name and life. Your decision marks the end of the Butterfly Collector faction, rewarding you with 5,500 XP.
