After dealing with the previous members, you'll uncover the leader, Kacho. Her control over her followers is cult-like, making her a formidable adversary. Locate her just north of the Nishinomaru Garden, west of Osaka Castle, in a restricted area. The presence of numerous butterflies will signal you're in the right place. Engage her in conversation before the inevitable fight to the death. Kacho's demise leaves one final matter to resolve.
Gamemaker
Finally, revisit the Gamemaker, the one who initiated this quest with the origami butterfly hunt. As a former victim, she created the game to expose the Butterfly Collector's activities. You must decide her fate: punishment for her involvement or a chance at a new life. Opting for the latter allows her to start anew under a different identity.
Your decision concludes the Butterfly Collector storyline, earning you 5,500 XP toward your next level.
