"Discover Butterfly Collectors in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Locations and Methods"

In the expansive world of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, there's more to the narrative than the main conflict. If you're on the hunt for the mysterious group known as the Butterfly Collector and its members, you're in the right place. We're here to guide you through the questline and help you uncover the secrets behind this enigmatic faction.

The Butterfly Collector in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Explained

The questline for the Butterfly Collector starts in the bustling city of Osaka, situated in the central region of Izumi Settsu. As you explore, you'll encounter a woman in the heart of the city who speaks of a game involving the collection of origami butterflies. These large paper butterflies, often found pinned to tree trunks with real butterflies fluttering nearby, are your key to uncovering a darker plot. As you gather these butterflies, you'll discover sinister notes hinting at the true nature of the Butterfly Collector—a secretive group of women involved in the kidnapping of children from affluent families to gain power and influence.

Determined to thwart their nefarious plans, you'll need to track down all five members of this faction. Here's how and where to find each member of the Butterfly Collector in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

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

Like other quests in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, locating the Butterfly Collector members involves following 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 at the southeastern tip of Osaka. Dressed in green, she can be found frantically searching at an intersection. Confront her with Naoe's blade or Yasuke's brute force, then rescue the kidnapped 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, engage Mucho in combat, and then escort the child back to her mother before moving on to the next target.

Richo

Richo, a young woman who pretends to be of higher standing, can be found in the bamboo grove at the northern end of Osaka, specifically in Noda Village across the water. Locals might mention a suspicious woman entering and exiting the grove, checking on ransom payments. Find Richo dressed in pink, take her down, and rescue the child she's holding captive.

Kacho

After dealing with the previous three 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. Look for a swarm of butterflies to find her. Engage in conversation, then prepare for a deadly fight. Kacho will perish, leaving one final member to address.

Gamemaker

The Gamemaker, who initiated the butterfly collecting quest, awaits your return. As a former victim, she created the game to expose the Butterfly Collector's activities and save others. You'll face a moral choice: punish her for her involvement or allow her to start anew. Choosing the latter lets her adopt a new identity and life. Make your decision, and the Butterfly Collector faction will be dismantled, earning you 5,500 XP toward your next level.

That's how you can effectively locate and deal with the Butterfly Collector and its members in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and guides, be sure to check out The Escapist.
