The Butterfly Collector in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Explained

Your journey begins in the bustling city of Osaka, situated in the heart of Izumi Settsu. Here, you'll encounter a woman in the town center who speaks of a curious game involving the collection of origami butterflies. As you ride through the city, you'll notice these large paper butterflies, each pinned to tree trunks and surrounded by fluttering real butterflies.

Collecting these butterflies leads you to a series of disturbing notes, revealing the sinister nature of the Butterfly Collector—a secret society of women intent on kidnapping children from affluent families to gain power and influence. This revelation compels you to take action and hunt down the five members of this nefarious group.

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

To locate the Butterfly Collector members, you'll need to follow geographical clues scattered throughout the game. We'll provide you with precise locations to help you track down each member efficiently.

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 at an intersection. Confront her with Naoe’s blade or Yasuke’s might, and then rescue the kidnapped child hiding behind some 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 south of the ruins. Use the child's resistance to your advantage, and after defeating Mucho, escort the child back to her mother.

Richo

Richo, a young woman who pretends to be of higher social standing, can be found at the northern end of Osaka in Noda Village, across the water. Rumors lead you to a bamboo grove where she checks on the ransom for her latest victim. Dressed in pink, you can take her down stealthily or in combat, and then save the child.

Kacho

After dealing with the previous members, you'll confront Kacho, the leader of the Butterfly Collector, just north of the Nishinomaru Garden west of Osaka Castle. This restricted area requires caution as you approach. The presence of numerous butterflies signals her location. Engage her in dialogue, then prepare for a fierce battle to the death, as she refuses to reveal her true identity.

Gamemaker

Finally, return to the Gamemaker, who initiated the butterfly collecting quest. As a former victim herself, she created the game hoping someone would unravel the mystery and save others. You face a moral choice: punish her for her involvement or allow her to start anew with a new name and life. Your decision will conclude the Butterfly Collector storyline, rewarding you with 5,500 XP.

And that's how you can effectively locate and deal with the Butterfly Collector and its members in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. For more guidance on the game, be sure to explore resources on The Escapist.
