WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Track Dimensional Butterfly upgrade drops
Fixed encounter locations along story routes, including the riverbed below the bridge near Moonlight Town Stargazer.
Before you go
- Progress far enough to reach areas containing Dimensional Butterflies.
- Have a weapon whose upgrade path could use the encountered material, or keep the drop for later.
- Be prepared to fight the butterfly before advancing away from its location.
Farming steps
- Explore the current story area carefully and watch for the distinct Dimensional Butterfly encounter.
- Approach the encounter without leaving the immediate area or advancing through a transition first.
- Defeat the butterfly and collect the material it drops.
- Check the item name and tier in your inventory rather than assuming every butterfly gives the same stone.
- In Moonlight Town, follow the uphill path from its Stargazer, cross the bridge, drop to the riverbed, and search for both butterflies there.
- Return to the weapon enhancement menu and compare the collected material with your intended blade’s next requirement.
- Continue the chapter after collecting the encounter drops you want.
- Search the full local path for additional encounters; Moonlight Town’s riverbed contains two butterflies.
- Treat each chapter encounter as a collectible opportunity rather than a resettable Stargazer farm.
Repeat, collect and use
Encounter locations are fixed by chapter progression and each is collected once per playthrough. This does not provide a repeatable respawn loop.
Common mistakes
- Do not leave the area expecting to reclaim the same fixed butterfly drop later.
- Do not assume every drop is Crescent Moonstone; verify the material tier.
- Do not confuse standard weapon Moonstones with Covenant materials for special weapons.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the local butterflies are defeated and collected; continue on to the next chapter or return only to check a missed location.
