Hogwarts Legacy has 15 Butterfly Locations. Finding and following all of Butterflies will unlock Collection Items so these are required for the 100% Collection Completion. You can start getting them at any point while Free Roaming, however one location is locked behind the Side Quest ‘Follow the Butterflies’ which becomes available after the Main Quest ‘Potions Class’.
Unlike other Collectibles the Butterflies are not marked on the game map. They only appear on the HUD Minimap when you get close to them but they don’t stay marked afterward. Follow the Butterfly swarm until they stop at one spot and then cast Revelio to reveal a chest, open it to complete that Butterfly Location. There also isn’t a tracking system to see which ones you have left or which you have done, however the butterflies do not respawn once you have collected their chest.

You need to post better image quality, these are so pixelated and low res.

Steven says
It says I have all 117 collection chests in the highlands, but I’m missing 2 conjurations. Are some butterflies not tracked as a collection chest in map?
Steven says
Nvm I was missing 2 butterflies which aren’t tracked on the map
nico says
10 and 13 thanks a lot!!
Lee says
I’ve got all 35 collection chests in hogwarts, all 5 in hogsmeade and all 117 in the highlands, followed the butterfly guide and was only missing 1 yet I am still 8 conjurations short in the exploration section in order to get the 140. What am I missing?
Lee says
Never mind, I didn’t realise each vivarium had 3 chests in them, got the 8 that I needed.
Radnar says
I’m at a loss here. I have every Hogwarts, Hogsmead, and Highlands collection chest. I have all 9 of the vivarium chests and after this I found the 1 butterfly (#3) I’d missed. I did every bandit camp. But I’m exactly 2 conjurations shy of 100%. What am I missing??
Alex says
You know there is 3 chests in each vivarium, so 12 in total right
Arnoud Rattink says
My guess would be the 2 extra Depulso Puzzle Rooms inside Hogwarts.
Dalton says
I read the butterfly glitch after I already did what it says not to do. Im 93-95% done with EVERYTHING. Was wondering if the butterfly chests give fixed rewards in the collection chests or if it was randomized. If it’s fixed I can cross check all 15 rewards and see I its bugged and scrap getting the platinum. If it’s randomized I’ll have to gather the rest of the collectibles and see if the plat pops. Any insight would be helpful.
Pranav says
Not a 100% sure but I think it’s sorta randomised, as in the category is fixed, some chests will always give you a wand, some a conjuration and some a trait (in case of bandit camps) but which specific one is random
