1.6 Update Really, Prismatic Butterfly?

[Umbra of Emberspike]

REALLY?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!??!!?

When you get close enough to it, it flies to you. I've had it start out of bounds and fly to my farmer a couple times.

It used to be that if you left the map and re-entered, the Prizzy Butterfly moved to a different location. And in this case likely a better location. Haven't tested that in a while though!

just need to wait until it gone from the screen and re-entered somewhere. it happened to me all the time.

 

[Umbra of Emberspike]

Thankfully, I left the screen and it indeed moved to a more accessible location.

At least you found it. I can't even find one.

It gives you money. And if you are really lucky, a Rainbow Shard on top, too!

I never did catch that dang thing. I don’t have any regrets now, though I was frustrated as heck during the chases. lol! I think I got more coins from the 2 lucky pots of gold at the rainbow by the falls in cindersap. I’ve found those out of sheer luck. I guess they don’t occur every year or every playthrough.

Every Spring 17th, all games have it (waterfall pot)...

And the butterfly yields lots of money; the more money you have on you, the more it gives you!

I'm on switch, can't use it. But I did find two butterflies since then, mostly by accident. If I don't go looking for it, THEN I find it.

This game is full of surprises

Didn't Prismatic Butterfly open for the Strawberry Alarm Clock sometime in the '60s?

Spoiler

Occasionally after a rainy day a rainbow will appear at the new cindersap waterfall and it will have a small pot of gold, I think 1000g, and you may also obtain a green Leprechaun hat.[/Spolier]

Hope you find it! It’s not every time and I think it’s a once per playthrough experience if you do find it.

Looking at the Wiki, it seems only to appear on Spring 17 though it should show there every year. I have failed 5x to remember this but I have another opportunity in a season and a half. To forget again.
