Honkai: Star Rail — All Amphoreus Nymph Locations Revealed (Find Every Beetle, Butterfly & Secret Chest)

Honkai: Star Rail’s Amphoreus region added collectible nymphs (butterflies, beetles and similar critters) in the 3.0 update, and players can now hunt them across many instance maps for rewards like Stellar Jade and various forms of Celestial Ambrosia. Each area has a Garmentmaker NPC who tracks progress, and some full-collection rewards unlock small puzzles or special chests. Below I list each map’s nymphs, what they look like, how many to find, the rewards, and where to look on every floor.

Overview of how nymphs work and rewards.
Complete, floor-by-floor nymph locations for every Amphoreus map covered in the update.

How nymphs work

First, the basics: nymphs are collectible critters added in Amphoreus with the 3.0 update (and the guide was updated for 3.5). They function similarly to Penacony origami birds, but instead of Light Cones you earn Celestial Ambrosia (or region-specific ambrosia types) plus Stellar Jade. Additionally, many areas give a key item (a “Portentous Goldwoven” for that map) once you fully collect the area’s nymphs, and that key item often unlocks a small puzzle that rewards a precious chest and an achievement.

Also, you can trade Memory Crystal Shards for hints about missing nymphs, but if you follow the locations below you shouldn’t need to. Meanwhile, the critters are often chatty: look for text bubbles to spot them. Finally, some variant maps let you auto-collect if you previously finished the matching base map.

Marmoreal Palace F2

On the “Garmentmaker.”
On some flowery bushes.
Blending into the butterfly mural on the wall.

After collecting all 20, Aglaea will text you and the Garmentmaker moves near the elevator to point to a fountain-based puzzle that rewards a precious chest and the “Chirping Secret: Golden Journey” achievement.

‘Bloodbathed Battlefront’ — Castrum Kremnos (20 nymphs, red-orange beetles)

F2

On the wall in the room with two enemies.
On the edge of the walkway (two spots).
On wall decor.
Hidden on walls — hitting certain structures with a ranged attack can reveal them.
On top of the large sword structure (use the hand mechanism to reach).
On a ledge above the pathway.
On the ground in front of the large ball; the ball can squash it (squashing counted as collecting in testing).

On the side of the steps—requires rolling a ball up.
On an ornamental structure edge.
On a pile of blue cubes.

After the 20 nymphs, you receive the “Portentous Goldwoven: Bloodbathed Battlefront” item and Celestial Ambrosia.

Collecting all 20 yields the “Portentous Goldwoven: Strife Ruins” item and Celestial Ambrosia. Use the item to access the Kremnos Arena north area and walk into the arena until a nymph appears; answering “13 flames” nets the precious chest and the “Chirping Secret: Fleetfoot Paradox” achievement.

After collecting all 10 you receive the “Portentous Goldwoven: Abyss of Fate” item and Celestial Ambrosia. The item reveals one-fourth of the solution to the southeast tablet on Janusopolis F2 — solving the “Crrk?” prophecy tablet correctly yields a precious chest and the “Chirping Secret: Many-Faced” achievement.

Collecting all 20 yields the “Portentous Goldwoven: Murmuring Woods” item and Celestial Ambrosia. That item lets you do a multi-step statue/destroy-and-rewind puzzle; a good visual guide is linked below.

‘Demigod Council’ — Dawncloud (10 nymphs, red butterflies)

Collect all 10 to receive Stellar Jade and Celestial Ambrosia. The melody the Garmentmaker plays after investigating collected nymphs provides clues; you must “offer greetings to Kephale” at specific map points to spawn the chest. See the demonstration below.

‘Dragonbone City’ — Styxia (10 nymphs, light-blue firefly-like)

F1

Floating over the railing.
On the edge of a walkway (requires rune to set area to day).

Collecting them all gives Stellar Jade and Celestial Ambrosia. The Garmentmaker’s hint leads you to use the giant hand on the eastern map side to push huge nymphs away; doing this spawns a special chest and the “Chirping Secret: Divine Enigma” achievement. See the demonstration below.

‘Fallen Twilight City’ — Okhema (variant)

If you already collected all nymphs in the normal “Eternal Holy City” Okhema, the Prototype Garmentmaker on this war-torn variant can auto-collect the nymphs for you. You still receive Stellar Jade and Celestial Ambrosia. Additionally, a Prototype Garmentmaker puzzle asks you to teleport to the bottom-most left point of Okhema, follow and break summoned speed-boost pigs to earn a precious chest and the “Chirping Secret: The Westward Ordeal” achievement. See the demonstration below.

‘Lightless Chapel’ — Dawncloud (variant)

As with Fallen Twilight City, the Strict Garmentmaker will auto-collect nymphs here if you already finished “Demigod Council.” You still receive Stellar Jade and ambrosia, and you also get the key item “Portentous Goldwoven: ‘Lightless Chapel.’” The chest puzzle for this map requires combining key-item slices from other players or following a visual solution; a helpful video is linked below.

‘Cloudedge Bastion Ruins’ — Eye of Twilight (20 nymphs, purple-blue beetles)

This map mixes manual and auto-collection (auto-collect applies to matches from the Fortress of Dome variant). The Gentle Garmentmaker’s hint points to a compass puzzle on F2; solving it yields a special chest and the “Chirping Secret: Rainbow’s End” achievement. Video demonstration below.

‘Aedes Elysiae’ (version 3.4 addition — 10 nymphs, pink winged beetles)

Locations

Flying above the dock.
On top of a scarecrow.
Among piles of hay.
At the roots of a big tree.
Attached to a flying pig — use a ranged character when it passes.
Hidden in dirt on the lower portion — interact with sparkles.
On a table.
On the porch of a tiny house.
Flying by stacked stones.
Flying by mural rocks.

Collecting all 10 grants the “Portentous Goldwoven: Aedes Elysiae” key item and Disorder Ambrosia. For the bonus chest: run three circles around the northern harp, then hit bells in a specific order; the video below demonstrates the sequence.

‘Warbling Shores’ — Styxia (10 nymphs, yellow beetles)

F1

Behind the Revelry Garmentmaker, looking at a wall.
In a west square room — above broken vases in a lift room.
Bottom-most floor of the 3D room near four artifacts on display.

Middle floor looking out a window in the 3D room (dawn).
Floating in water near a space anchor (evernight).
On the very bottom of the pool — you must drain the water completely (dawn).

Collecting all 10 nets Stellar Jade and Disorder Ambrosia. A maze puzzle in the bottom of the 3D-room pool gives a hint to a hidden treasure; a video solution is below.

Final notes

Collecting each map’s full set of nymphs awards Stellar Jade and ambrosia, plus a map-specific key item in many cases. After finishing a map you should talk to that area’s Garmentmaker to claim the rewards and any follow-up clues. Furthermore, several puzzles require timed positioning or use of the giant hand and other map mechanics, so use ranged characters and the hand mechanisms where noted. Finally, if a variant map auto-collects for you (as noted above), you still get the same rewards and can complete the extra puzzle for the precious chest and achievement.
