This particular quest unfolds in the Osaka region and focuses on the troubling theme of kidnapped children. Here is a detailed guide to help you eliminate Mucho in AC Shadows.
How To Locate Mucho (Butterfly Collector) in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

During the Find the Child quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you will receive intel about a child being the target of kidnappers. You will get the following clues for the location of the kidnappers:
- They are in Southwestern Settsu.
- They are on an island west of Osaka.
- They are somewhere in Koji Runs.
Use these clues to track down Mucho. Then, use Fast Travel to reach the southwest of the Koji Ruins. From there, with the help of the Observe mode, you can spot Mucho to the right of the wooden bridge.
How To Assassinate Mucho (Butterfly Collector) in AC Shadows

Once you spot Mucho, it is time to eliminate her. For this, you can choose the sneak-and-attack method or confront her directly. Here are the further details for this:
- Sneak and attack: Take the help of the bushes as cover to stay out of Mucho’s sight. Once you are close to her, unleash a signature attack to eliminate her. Additionally, you can also use a smoke bomb to distract Mucho and then assassinate her in one go with the help of Naoe’s Tanto.
- Direct battle: Defeating Mucho in a direct battle will not take long. Just dodge the unbreakable moves and deal two or three signature attacks to get rid of Mucho.
After eliminating Mucho, you will get the following rewards:
- Hidden Pleat (Common Tanto – Naoe)
- 2,000 XP
- 1 Mastery Point
That was the complete guide on how to defeat Mucho in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
