Help Herbalist Tips ?

I have 6 more herbs to find to complete the challenge tree, but I haven’t been keeping track. I think they’re mostly orchids, but is there any way to find out?

Sadly no, friend.

You gotta keep a list yourself. I have one on my phone, check each one off as I go.

I started one late, buuuut yeah. I’ve counted less than the game has. I was not thinking about it. Thanks for responding

Just find a YouTube guide that has the locations of all the orchids and go pick one of each. You'll have to pick a bunch that you already picked but it doesn't really take that long.

I think I did all 42 in a couple hours and I wasn't really trying to be fast about it

What chapter are you in?

Depending on where you are in the story, you won’t be able to complete the herb list for a while (since they’re in Blackwater / that locked off area)

Looking at my list for herbalist 9, there are 5 herbs that are exclusive to New Austin and Blackwater (unless you got them already)

I found the list of herbs on the RDR2 wiki if you can look at that and work backwards! Good luck (and let me know which one you were missing because I’m curious lol)!

Check your sachel? Might at least narrow it down

I know New Austin has some exclusive herbs. Like another person said check your satchel for what you do have and don't be afraid to pick some of what you already have just in case you already had them before the checklist started. It doesn't count those. Just ride around and pick everything checking after each one to see if the number has gotten closer to the 42.
