Follow the Butterflies Tips and Strategies

Update to the Latest Patch

The March 8 update addresses the bug in the patch notes and has fixed following the other butterflies to not interfere with the quest progression.

March 8 Follow the Butterflies Bug Fixes
・Following different butterflies, other than the intended ones, progresses the quest and will disappear after completion.
・Unable to interact with the butterflies after character death, as they will not respawn.

March 8 Update: Patch Notes

Follow the Quest-Specified Butterflies

Hogwarts Legacy - Follow the Quest-Specified Butterflies
Once you talk to Clementine Willardsey and start the quest, follow the butterflies in the Forbidden Forest and finish the quest as soon as possible.

Do not follow the other butterflies as this causes the quest-specified butterflies to disappear and change your quest objective to "Return to Miss Willardsey". This also prevents you from opening the treasure chest that the quest-specified butterflies will lead you to.

Don't Jump in the River

The butterflies will fly a bit north over the river. Don't jump into the river yourself, as that will cause you to walk extremely slowly. Instead, just keep an eye on them from higher ground, as they eventually fly back over the land anyway.
