In the immersive world of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players embark on an adventure through Osaka, where Naoe discovers vibrant origami butterflies hidden amidst the trees and shrubs. While these delicate creations might initially appear to be part of a light-hearted children’s activity, collecting them unveils unexpected twists and valuable in-game rewards. What begins as a simple diversion swiftly evolves into a captivating quest that demands attention.
Locating the Butterfly Collector
Your journey to uncover all the Origami Butterflies starts with the Butterfly Collector, who can be found in the northeastern region of Osaka, specifically in Katano. This character resides just west of the historic Katano Castle, on a bustling shopping street, where she beckons players to engage in her quest.
Despite the quest’s facade as a children’s game, the Butterfly Collector challenges Naoe to locate all the butterflies scattered throughout the western part of Osaka, near the Temple of Osaka, enticing players with promises of rewards for successful retrievals.

To collect the orange butterfly, head south from the Temple of Osaka, where you can find it perched on a tree beside the river.
Purple Butterfly
The purple butterfly awaits you outside Osaka Castle walls, south of the Fukushima Ruins, adjacent to Nishinomaru Garden.
Pink Butterfly
The pink butterfly is located in the southwest corner of the fishermen’s district.
White Butterfly
After collecting all the previous butterflies, a white butterfly will appear near the river just south of the Osaka Kakurega, enhancing the quest narrative with a new mission titled “Chrysalis.”
Subsequent White Butterflies
Following the discovery of the first white butterfly, additional ones can be located:
2nd White Butterfly
The second white butterfly lies near the burnt structures northwest of the Temple of Osaka, adjacent to Kojo ruins.
3rd White Butterfly
The final white butterfly is positioned next to the bridge that leads east from Osaka Kakurega towards the Upper Construction site.
Chrysalis Quest Overview
Once you find the first white butterfly, the narrative shifts focus to locating the missing children from eminent families across Osaka. Your first objective is to engage with a girl near the western stables located in the fishermen’s district. After speaking with her, she reveals that a mysterious woman took her to a place filled with statues.
This location points you to the mason’s yard located to the north, where further clues about the Chrysalis quest can be unearthed.
Shucho
Your pursuit of the first child, Shucho, is guided by the following hints:
- Located in southwestern Settsu
- Seen southwest of the Temple of Osaka
- Currently in the fishermen’s district
Travel to the Fishermen’s District, where using L2 highlights the blue circle indicating her whereabouts. You’ll find her in the southwest corner of the island, and upon eliminating her captor, you will be rewarded with the Ink Spiller Tanto.
A lot
Finding the second white butterfly next to the burnt buildings near Kojo ruins leads you to the search for the child of a sake merchant residing on an island to the west of Osaka.
At Kojo Ruins, you’ll find the child in a dispute with their captor. Defeat the kidnapper and escort the child back home. Completing this segment of the quest will provide you with valuable leads towards the overarching conspiracy of the kidnappings, as well as earning the Hidden Pleat Tanto.
Richie
After locating the third white butterfly, your next destination is the burnt-out well situated north of the Temple of Osaka, very close to Nishinomaru Garden. Here, listen in on a gardener discussing a bamboo grove located north of Osaka Castle near Noda Village.
Proceed to the bamboo grove, take down the kidnapper, and free the child secured within the shack. Accomplishing this task grants you the Trinket of Childlike Bravery and the Dog-Ear Tanto as rewards.
That’s it.
For your final target, Kacho, you will gather clues:
- Located in Southwestern Settsu
- Near Nishinomaru Garden
- Her garden is adorned with butterflies
Kacho can be found within the hostile confines of the Osaka Military District, positioned at the northern edge of Nishinomaru Garden. Upon your arrival in the garden, a cutscene will play out and the duel will commence. After overcoming her, return to the original Butterfly Collector to conclude the quest.
In a surprising twist, upon your return, she confesses her past struggles with abduction and manipulation into the very gang you sought to dismantle. A heartfelt plea for redemption asks you to rename her, leaving you with a moral choice to either release her as a victim or deliver justice for her complicit actions. Each choice yields a distinct but thematically similar trinket, symbolizing either mercy or vengeance.
