The Butterfly Collector in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Explained

Your journey 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 origami butterflies. As you explore, you'll find these large paper butterflies pinned to tree trunks, surrounded by real butterflies. Collecting them leads to the discovery of sinister notes, revealing the Butterfly Collector as a covert group of women plotting to kidnap children from affluent families to gain power and influence. Your mission is clear: stop them by hunting down each member of this faction.

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

To locate these targets, you'll use geographical clues scattered throughout the game. We'll guide you directly to each member, saving you the trouble of piecing together the puzzle.

Shucho

Shucho's carelessness leads you to her in the Fishermen’s District at the southeastern tip of Osaka. Dressed in green, she's frantically searching for a kidnapped child at an intersection. Confront her with Naoe's blade or Yasuke's brute force, then rescue the child hiding behind nearby horses.

Mucho

Head northwest from Shucho's location, crossing a bridge to reach the Kojo ruins. Here, Mucho poses as a family jochu, currently struggling with her victim on a road just south of the ruins. Use the child's resistance to approach, then take down Mucho when she attacks. Escort the child back to her mother before moving on.

Richo

Richo, a young woman who pretends to be of higher status, can be found at the northern end of Osaka, specifically in Noda Village across the water. Rumors of a suspicious woman entering a bamboo grove lead you to her. Dressed in pink, Richo is checking on a ransom. Take her down and rescue the child she's holding.

Kacho

After dealing with the previous targets, you'll face Kacho, the leader of the Butterfly Collector. She's located just north of Nishinomaru Garden, west of Osaka Castle, in a restricted area. Approach cautiously, guided by the sight of many butterflies. Engage her in conversation, then prepare for a deadly confrontation. Kacho will fight to the death, leaving one final member to address.

Gamemaker

The Gamemaker, who initiated the butterfly collecting quest, is your last target. Return to her location on the map to make a crucial decision. As a former victim, she created the game to expose the Butterfly Collector and save others. You can choose to punish her for her involvement or allow her to start anew. Your decision concludes the faction's story, earning you 5,500 XP.

With this guide, you're now equipped to find and deal with the Butterfly Collector faction in Assassin's Creed Shadows. For further assistance, don't hesitate to explore The Escapist.
