In the Stellar Blade: Nier Automata DLC, you have to find 10 butterflies as part of the 'Like Butterflies' quest. After you finish the Photography Club quest, which is a prerequisite to getting Photo Mode, you'll be able to unlock the Like Butterflies quest. These butterflies are found in the Wasteland area, and this guide will help you find all of them.

On the map, start at the ship in the lower left corner. After entering the ship, proceed to the left, where you will come upon a number of crates. A butterfly sitting atop a shattered wall can be seen when you look up. Make sure you stand on top of the crates opposite the Butterfly for a successful selfie mode photo; if you choose a different angle, the picture may not register correctly.

Go to the Solar Tower at location two. Once inside, you will find a butterfly next to a smiling computer near the back of the ground level. Take your time to acquire a clear shot because this is one of the easiest locations to get to.

Stay at the Solar Tower and proceed to the enormous bulletin board on your right. There is another butterfly behind this board. To get the ideal view, climb up on the little boulder next to the board. It can be difficult to take the photo from any other angle.

Proceed to one of the fast travel locations indicated on the map's right side. Navigate to the rear of a fallen structure and find the picture of the Butterfly on the wall behind you. It's a rapid addition to your collection because the location is easy to find.

Go close to the Holiday Something Café area (use the map for directions; the precise name isn't important). Turn right here and follow the rubbish pile all the way to the back. The sixth butterfly photo is waiting for you to take it there.

Proceed back along the wall-run route to the Junkyard Supply Camp. The seventh butterfly photo is available at this location, which also has collecting things. To make sure you catch the perfect image in the midst of the chaos, keep your attention on the Butterfly.

Enter the Forbidden Area by going back to the waypoint on the map's right side. Stop halfway down, where the picture of the Butterfly is hanging on a wall next to a door, rather than walking all the way down. You may find another item here, but your main objective is to get the image of the Butterfly.

Wasteland Butterfly #9- Mysterious Butterfly

The Central Scrap Plains Supply Camp is the destination. Once inside, head directly to the rear of a DNG bulletin board, where the butterfly photo is visible through a gap. This unusual viewpoint provides a distinctive image that will enrich your collection.

Lastly, proceed to the lower right corner of the map, which is known for its swimming and fishing pond. Proceed to the left staircase after entering the building here. The first thing you'll see when you climb the stairs is an image on a crate—this is your tenth Butterfly. Your collection will be finished once you have taken this last picture.
