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

Finding the Butterfly Collector members involves following geographical clues within the game, but we're here to simplify your search by pinpointing their exact locations.

Shucho

Shucho's negligence leads you to her in the Fishermen’s District at the southeastern tip of Osaka. She's easily spotted in green, frantically searching at an intersection. Confront her with Naoe's blade or Yasuke's weapons, then rescue the kidnapped child hiding nearby behind some horses.

Mucho

Head northwest from Shucho's location across the bridge to the Kojo ruins. Mucho, disguised as a family servant, is struggling with her target just south of the ruins. Use the child's resistance to your advantage, confront Mucho, and return the child safely to their mother before moving on to the next member.

Richo

Richo, a young woman posing as someone of higher standing, can be found in the bamboo grove near Noda Village, north of Osaka. Listen for local gossip about a suspicious woman, then head to the grove where Richo, dressed in pink, awaits. Deal with her and rescue her latest victim from peril.

Kacho

Kacho, the leader of the Butterfly Collector, is located just north of Nishinomaru Garden, west of Osaka Castle. Her presence is marked by numerous butterflies. Engage her in conversation, and prepare for a deadly confrontation. Her defeat unravels the final mystery of the group.

Gamemaker

The Gamemaker, who initiated the butterfly hunt, awaits your return. As a former victim, she created the game to expose the Butterfly Collector's activities. You face a moral choice: punish her for her involvement or allow her a chance at redemption. Opting for the latter lets her start anew with a different identity.

Once you've made your decision, the Butterfly Collector faction will be dismantled, rewarding you with 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 guidance, don't hesitate to explore resources on The Escapist.
