Once near the plant, you can choose to pick it up or eat it on the spot. To easily spot the location of an herb, you must activate Eagle Eye and follow the light particles. Plants can be found pretty much all over the world, with select types only available in specific locations. Please note that there will be some light story mode spoilers due to some of the locations, so avoid reading the guide in full if you have yet to complete the story mode.

As the same map is shared between Red Dead Redemption 2 story mode and Red Dead Online, the locations where to find the herbs are the same. In this guide, we will take a look at all the available plants, detailing their use in either crafting and cooking and where to find them.

There's a huge variety of herbs available in both story mode and online, and each one of them can be used in both crafting and cooking.įinding all of them is in no way required to complete the story, but it is to master the game, as you need to complete the Herbalist Challenge in order to attain 100% Completion: the ninth rank in the challenge requires players to pick one of each species of herb, which can be a daunting task if one does not know where to look. Most of the materials needed for creating items can be obtained through hunting, but you won't be able to create much if you completely ignore herbs and plants. As similar items sold in shops are not as good as the ones obtained through crafting, engaging in this activity will result in the player obtaining a distinct advantage. Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online feature a crafting and cooking system which allows players to create items such as tonics, special weapons, meals and horse tonics by using a variety of raw materials.
