In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the Butterfly Collector is a sub-quest requiring you to assassinate several targets, Richo being one of them.

How To Locate Richo (Butterfly Collector) in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

When you start the All Will be Well side quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you will be required to head to Osaka to investigate the area.

The mission provides the following clues for the location:

• It is in Southwestern Settsu
• It is north of the Temple of Osaka
• It is a Burnt Well

Once you arrive, you will find two gardeners talking to each other about a lady at the bamboo grove. After obtaining this information, the Forest Fugitive sub-quest will automatically start, and you will get the following hints about the location of the bamboo grove:

• It is in Southwestern Settsu
• It is north of Osaka Castle
• It is near Noda village

Take the help of these clues to arrive at the location. Next, head to the path leading to the left. After some distance, you will spot the bamboo grove on your left. Also, you will find Richo sitting openly in the garden.

How To Assassinate Richo (Butterfly Collector) in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Once you locate Richo, it is time to eliminate her. For this, you can either choose the one-shot assassination or confrontation. Here are the further details for this:

• Direct Battle: Richo is not a sturdy opponent, so defeating her would not be a big task. Make sure to watch her hands for the unbreakable moves. Keep dodging them, and retaliate with combo moves to eliminate Richo.
• Sneak and attack: Richo is not a challenging enemy, but he can deal significant damage. Thus, the best option is to use Naoe’s stealth skills. As you arrive at the location, you will spot Richo in the garden. Carefully sneak behind her and eliminate her in one go with the help of the Tanto.

After neutralizing Richo, head to the cabin at the back to find the kidnapped children.
