The Butterfly Collector in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Explained

Your journey begins in the bustling city of Osaka, nestled in the heart of Izumi Settsu. Here, you'll encounter a woman in the town center who speaks of a game involving the hunt for origami butterflies. As you explore the city, you'll come across these large paper butterflies, pinned to tree trunks and surrounded by fluttering real butterflies.

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

Like other quests in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, finding the Butterfly Collector members involves deciphering geographical clues. We'll help you navigate directly to each target, saving you the trouble of piecing together the puzzle.

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. Dispatch 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, posing 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, and when Mucho attacks, take her down. Escort the child back to her mother, then continue your hunt.

Richo

Richo, a young woman who pretends to be of higher standing, can be found in the northern part of Osaka, specifically in Noda Village across the water. She frequents a bamboo grove, checking on ransom payments. Enter the grove to find her dressed in pink. Eliminate 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 area. Look for a swarm of butterflies to find her. Engage in conversation, then prepare for a deadly fight. Kacho will fall, leaving one final member to address.

Gamemaker

Return to the Gamemaker, the one who initiated the butterfly hunt. 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 to start anew. Choosing the latter lets 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.
