Are you looking for the Origami Butterflies in Assassin's Creed Shadows? There are 10 of these in total, and they can all be found in the western portion of Osaka. They also aren't marked on your map, and using investigation mode won't yield any clues either. Thankfully, our guide has all the details that you need.
Where to find all Origami Butterflies in Assassin's Creed Shadows
The 10 Origami Butterflies that you need to obtain are part of a bigger quest called The Butterfly Collector. You can refer to this guide for the other relevant steps that involve hunting down kidnappers.
How to start The Butterfly Collector quest?
To get started with your Assassin's Creed Shadows Origami Butterfly task, you must first head to the village of Katano in the Izumi Settsu region. It's due northeast of the city of Osaka.
While roaming around, you might hear NPCs talking about a rumor. If you go to the ornament vendor, which is sandwiched between Katano Oil Trading and Katano Castle, you'll meet a woman called the Gamemaker.
- The Gamemaker wants you to find 10 Origami Butterflies in the western part of Osaka. These items are plastered on trees.
- As mentioned earlier, the locations won't be marked on your map, and investigation mode won't yield clues. You really need to keep your eyes peeled.
- Some of these origami are actually letters addressed to kidnappers who are members of the Butterfly Collector group.
- We recommend finding all the origami items first before hunting down your targets.
Map of Origami Butterfly locations
The map above shows the Assassin's Creed Shadows Origami Butterfly locations. You can grab these in any order, though we've organized our guide to start from the northernmost spot.
Purple Origami Butterfly
Approach the island jutting off the peninsula from the north. This item is on a tree by the river.
Green Origami Butterfly and Letter to Richo
The image above shows where you can find two more Assassin's Creed Shadows Origami Butterflies:
- The Letter to Richo is close to the canal.
- The Green Origami Butterfly is in a villager's yard.
Yellow Origami Butterfly
If you head west from the above location, you'll stumble upon a yard with several cats and woodcutting equipment.
Letter to Mucho
From there, head to the street next to the river in the west. You'll see another paper item that's slightly hidden behind some bushes.
Red Origami Butterfly and White Origami Butterfly
There are a couple of Assassin's Creed Shadows Origami Butterfly locations near the center of this area:
- The Red Origami Butterfly is plastered on a tree just north of the Temple of Osaka.
- The White Origami Butterfly is in a small shrine just across the street to the southwest.
Letter to Shucho
Head to the eastern part of this area close to the riverbed. There's another Origami Butterfly, but this one contains a Letter to Shucho, one of the kidnappers.
Orange Origami Butterfly
Walk along the street to the south where all the market stalls are. One of the trees next to a stall has another item.
Pink Origami Butterfly
This last one is in the southwestern part of the island near the Fisherman's District. If you already picked up the Letter to Shucho, then you probably have a quest marker for The One That Got Away. The item is fairly close to that marker.
That does it for our guide on where to find all Origami Butterflies in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Don't forget that this is just one part of an even bigger arc. Now, it's time to eliminate The Butterfly Collector targets.
