Legilimens tells me I'm missing Butterfly Chest #1 even though I definitely did the quest and definitely opened the chest. I have tried the steps here which results in no butterflies at the location, and of course I didn't turn in the job immediately per your instructions. I also tried the steps from the 139-140 Conjurations Bug Fix but the chest near Charms Classroom turns yellow, remains open, and is unclickable. I tried each with a clean save and did not combine them.
So I remain stuck at 139 conjurations. I'm happy to poke around in the database if only I knew what to look for. I did open several dozen of the tables but nothing immediately jumped out at me. Is perhaps the butterfly chest #1 marked as collected even though Legilimens says it isn't? I believe you said elsewhere that is the reason butterflies don't show up. Is there a table which describes location and matches that to an ID? Or is there a coordinate system?
Wild idea: I don't suppose butterflies aren't showing up because it is currently Winter in my game. Or could that be it? Are butterflies seasonal? The nice flowers are certainly gone and every video I've seen has the flowers at both ends of their trails. If I finish the game, will it be Spring again and this will work then? Maybe I should just finish. I have everything but one main and a couple of side quests left.
I'm curious how you got the number used in the 139-140 Conjurations Bug Fix query. Is that the chest ID? Was it trial and error? How can I find the chest that goes with Butterfly Chest #1? Does it need to be reset similarly perhaps?
I know which Conjuration is missing: it is the Bookstand. I manually went through a list of them and compared to what I had on-screen. Then, when I used HL Save Game Editor, I saw it toggled off in the Transfiguration Locks tab. I'm pretty sure I tried toggling that on and it still didn't register 140 items!
So frustrated. Any insights you can provide will be welcome. TIA
I finished the game and tried again with no luck. However, I also tried the other link that Legilimens points us to, which is https://hogwarts-legacy-save-editor.vercel.app/ and used the Save the Butterflies button; and although it gets the Player XP and Player Inventory Size backwards (which one can easily copy/paste/swap), it does reset the Follow The Butterflies quest a bit more than yours. After I talk to the quest-giver, the trail leads to where the butterflies should be rather than prompting me to end the quest. Still no butterflies though. And no chest at the chest location, with or without Revelio. I may just be out of luck, I think.
Hi, I checked my save file with Legilimens and it said I was missing Butterfly #1 when I already did the Follow the Butterflies quest. I used your method and was able to reset the quest. I did not turn in the quest immediately after talking to Clementine, and went to the Forbidden Forest but was not able to find any butterflies. I was not able to reveal any chest when I used Revelio on the area too. Would you be able to help? Thank you in advance!
The same thing is happening to me. Legilimens tells me:
"Your save seems to be affected by the butterfly quest bug. If you're unable to collect Butterfly Chest #1, consider using https://hogwarts-legacy-save-editor.vercel.app or https://www.nexusmods.com/hogwartslegacy/mods/778 to fix it."
But when I use this fix, the butterflies do not appear. I did exactly the same thing as the OP. Did not return in the quest before going to the forbidden forest, but the butterflies do not appear - not with revelio, or without, not even by going to the end location where the chest should be. I completed this chest quest originally already so I am not sure why my game is bugged by it, still.
I also tried the conjurations fix here to fix this butterfly bug, but the chest just glows yellow and remains open.
Aside from this bug, I also have an open chest in Poppy's Moonstone quest that I was never able to collect (it is already open but still glows yellow), though on the map it says I have all the chests of every area..
I have also checked and double checked all other butterfly locations, but no butterflies appear in any of them.
Please help, I am unable to get the trophy for 100% collections due to this 139/140 bug. :(
Could you please write such sql queries to fix the bug when "Mum's the word" mission just disappears (this one) Here's the save file if it helps. Thank you!
Any time I run through these steps and try to load the manual save (step 15) my game just immediately crashes and that save is no longer usable, because it continues to crash any time I try to open the modified manual save file.
EDIT: Adding on here. I have tried this a few more times and still just having my game completely crash every time after I try to reload the save after doing all other steps and trying to integrate the new generated save with the edited SQL. This is not working for me at all.
Thank you!!! This is the only way helped me. Ive got a bug, because I didn't go to the butterfly's quest. another method on legilimets page is faster, but this is breake my lvl from 39 to 1.
I'm having the same issue, did you find a work around?
Update: I figured to redo the save file. And it worked the 2nd time. Still have everything else + the 140th collectible! Start again from step 1 will work best. In my case I made a 2nd manual save (only had 1) and edited that one through the steps
The quest gets reset with this method. However the progression isn't the same. For me the quest is requested to complete immediately after it gets picked up. Went instead to the forest butterfly location and they were not spawned. Legilimens says I already collected Butterfly Chest #1. Okay fine. But then, why are the butterfly markers on the world map not showing anymore?
This is mentioned in Step #16, not to turn in the quest immediately after talking to Clementine. And it's also noted at the top that this won't work if you have already collected Butterfly Chest #1. What is it that Legilimens says you're missing in the game? The other butterflies have nothing to do with the Follow the Butterflies quest.
I'm confused. In your first post you said Legilimens says you collected it. Now you're saying it says you have not? Can you share a screenshot of Legilimens results?
Butterfly #1 does not show up until Clementine's quest is started. It can be triggered via this mod, but only if you have not collected from it at all.
Yes I collected it. Which means that when Legilimens shows me the list of collectable chests, the first one is *missing* from that list. Let me try again with a full sentence:
I have only collected the very first butterfly chest and no others. Then I turned in the quest. And I have the reward.
But before I completed the quest, butterfly locations would show on the minimap. I never went to them but they were showing.
Now they no longer appear. And what I ask is if the butterflies are still at their locations and their chests can be collected, even if they're not on the map.
This mod does touch any other code so I'm not sure how or why the markers disappeared. Try visiting other butterfly locations again. Also, if you were able to properly collect the butterfly chest #1, there should have been no need for this mod. If all else fails, load your save backup.
That usually means it's not the chest you're looking for. Does Legilimens say you're missing #1? Or did you talk with Clementine after the quest appeared? (Like you have to talk to her to make the quest say "Return to Clementine" that's when you go check the location, before talking to her again).
