The fascinating side quest known as the Assassin’s Creed Shadows Butterfly Collector may initially seem simple, requiring you to gather origami butterflies scattered across Osaka. However, as you embark on this mission, you’ll uncover a sinister kidnapping plot involving missing children and the need to eliminate four women responsible for their abduction. This seemingly straightforward collectible task transforms into a complex challenge. Here’s your guide to locating all the origami butterflies and eliminating targets in the Butterfly Collector quest.
In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the search for the 10 origami butterflies takes you to various trees throughout Osaka. Seven butterflies appear as typical, vibrant origami, while three white ones hold hidden messages crucial for unveiling the kidnapping gang’s secrets. Use the ‘Observe’ mechanic by holding L2/LT to easily spot these butterflies marked by blue dots. This technique will help pinpoint all 10 locations of the AC Shadows origami butterflies.
Once collected, these origami pieces lead you on a path to rescuing the kidnapped children and confronting the notorious gang. Eliminating each target grants you 1 Assassin’s Creed Shadows Mastery Point, along with some mon and valuable gear. Here’s how to systematically eliminate all Butterfly Collector targets, ensuring success in this gripping quest.
Having successfully rescued all children and dispatched the four targets, your journey culminates in a tense confrontation with the gamemaker woman in Katano. This encounter offers three dialogue choices to conclude the AC Shadows Butterfly Collector questline. Opting to spare the gamemaker yields notably better rewards, including the elusive Butterfly of Benevolence trinket. Although you forgo a Mastery Point, the substantial XP gain effectively grants you one in due course. Rest assured, this decision is beneficial in the long run.
As you progress, you’ll also encounter several Assassin’s Creed Shadows Kabukimono targets around Osaka and may find it necessary to explore the Assassin’s Creed Shadows Noshinomiya Shrine for related quests. Immerse in this captivating world and master the intricate quest of the Butterfly Collector in the latest episode of Assassin’s Creed.
