This video shows how to collect the 4 plants unique to New Austin as Arthur Morgan before the Epilogue. This uses the Wagon Method discovered by @Unlockable Eden Gaming to shield you from the invisible sniper bullets in the restricted area of the map. The guide covers all the necessary steps and how to execute this properly - you must for example get the camera angel precise and configure your settings correctly otherwise it won't work. The guide also shows what I believe to be a new glitch that may help you if you make a mistake - although it's not pretty to watch! The other videos linked below show you how to get all the other plants required for Herbalist Challenge 9 (which fortunately, are all much easier to get than these four).
Note if you are following my 100% completion guide, you can skip this step if you want to, and it will show you how to pick these plants normally when New Austin is accessible in the Epilogue. This guide is specifically for players who want to complete all the Challenges and unlocked the Legend of the East outfit early.

The buggy glitch still works.
Jimbatron, I would literally pay you do this for me. I can’t do it. I’ve tried and tried.
@Harley Bradford Dude, that'd be dope as hell.
Can someone help me do this it’s such a nuisance
@Jimbatron any guidance on how to angle the camera before issuing the command to pick? I have no bother remaining covered when getting off its only when I pick the herb that the camera zooms in and I get shot (or re start when in Big Valley).
Wow, this video made me feel like I am going to the deadliest, most serious mission to save the world. Who would have thought that picking up 4 herbs will be such a challenge!
R* really don't want Arthur to have the LOTE outfit!
@@Jimbatron there's another way to obtain it if you haven't completed Angelo Bronte a Man of Honor yet
@@Bacon00024 they patched the Bronte glitch. The only way to do that is to reinstall the base version of the game on a console and stop it from being updated.
You just can’t pick plants. Turtle trinket, Otis miller gun, ram mask, Chinese hat…ya can still get
@@Jimbatron i did the bronte glitch last month it worked just fine on the latest patch
When looking for solutions to this problem on YT, I initially bypassed this video. "Ugh, this guy sounds boring and 43 minutes? There's gotta be a better way." Guess what. There isn't. This is the most informative and easy to understand solution to getting Arthur the Herbalist challenge completed. I regret not watching this sooner.
Thanks for leaving a comment man, glad this helped you out.
That was a pretty creative backhanded comment.
Idiot
@@NickC_222 lmao right. Why not just say thank you for the video
Bro that’s just rude, he cant help how he sounds, how about just say thank you and keep the rest to yourself?
This is great. Rockstar has God snipe you in the back of the head every few seconds as a game mechanic. Anything to get around that bullshit is fair game.
My thoughts exactly. Credit goes to Unlockable Eden Gaming for the discovery though (as mentioned in the video and description), this is just a guide on how to execute it.
from the most realistic game ever to the most dead brain game ever.
Arthur: Hey Dutch, i been to New Austin..
Dutch: Did you get the MONEH????
Arthur: Nah, but i got you some flowers 🤠
Some flowers, some Dino Bone locations, these fancy Del Lobo hats, these legendary animals, this Ram Skull Mask, this Chinese Skull Cap, this Scarecrow Top Hat, and this Gambler’s Hat I killed some poor sick bastard for out in Armadillo 😎🤣🎉 (I’ve gotten all that through the Buggy glitch, also all New Austin outfits, all trapper clothing that requires New Austin animals to be crafted, and the Otis Miller’s Revolver via the Brontë Glitch). Flowers were the last thing I needed to get Arthur the Legend of The East outfit at Shady Belle in Chapter 4. Did the rest in Chapter 4 as well with a combo of the Buggy and Brontë methods 🎉💯
Edit: OH, and the Sun Hat from glitching to Guarma early and getting back to the mainland. Forgot about that, also did that as Arthur in Chapter 4
Lma
@@jk-474 You're lying, aren't you ?
@@rogerrodriguessilveira8162 Nope. I have everything to prove it including the Legend Of The East outfit for Arthur. It’s all 100% possible
@@jk-474 how did you get the clothes when the invisible sniper kills you indoors? Did you use the pause method?
I honestly think this is the most comprehensive guide there is as to honoring Arthur Morgan. He deserves the Legend of the East outfit. I am now proud to see my him wearing one, all thanks to you, good sir. You are a legend yourself. Onto the next challenge - 100% completion, using your guide as well.
I mean he is heading East in the main story he deserves it
and also hes going through every mans fear, the sniper
I can never look at a covered wagon the same way again...
A few things to note about this challenge:
1. It is possible. For a while I thought I could never do it, but eventually I did. You just need a lot of patience
2. This helped me a little bit, but when you’re riding in new Austin, wear a mask. This helped the law not recognize m as much. If they do recognize you, it’s still possible to outrun them
3. As far as escaping the Pinkertons in The plains, try not to get caught on anything as this will let them catch up to you.
4. Arthur looks like one bad motherfucker in the Legend of the East outfit, so it is worth it
number 2 is 100% true. I tried to get the ram skull mask with the wagon (you need a buggy), and I noticed that when I kept the mask I wore to steal a wagon, the lawmen would barely notice me unless I was extremely close. but when I had the mask off they recognized me almost instantly. when I get to herbalist 9 im gonna try to do this again but for the plants. ill keep the mask and especially the pause glitch in mind.
edit: a few weeks after taking a break from rdr2, I managed to get the dinosaur bones and the herbs. I got all the bones in one run as well as the herbs. it's really easy once you learn the camera. as the guy said in the video practice is key especially if you're using a different wagon as some wagons will have different canvas positions. this was all in chapter 2 FYI. I am now gonna try to hunt the legendary animals and get the ram skull mask and I will be finished with the new austin stuff. I wonder if it's possible to get otis miller's revolver with a buggy and some insane spam pause glitch luck. I also wonder if there's way to get the new austin fish as arthur
@@OutlawedPoet were you able to get the Otis miller revolver using the pause glitch?
@@davidcsik9761 nah it's not possible. it turns out that the pause glitch isn't actually a thing. all it does is just dramatically slow down time. the reason why the guy in the video survived is because if the camera is directly on a bullet proof surface even if it's not clipping directly through it, the bullets will still hit the object. I did some testing though and it IS possible to get the revolver using the meat shield method, but it's going to require some insane RNG and a lot of attempts. at that point you might as well just wait until the angelo bronte glitch.
@@OutlawedPoet I appreciate the info. But never forget:
-it's not possible
-no, it's necessary
😃
oh yeah, I forgot to mention something really useful that I discovered: if you lose the pinkertons before you cross the bridge to new austin, the patrolling lawmen in new austin will not spawn, which will make things a bit easier. so when you first enter the great plains, try to go as slow as possible while still maintaining a decent speed. ideally, you'll want the pinkerton patrol to spawn and spot you before or as soon as you cross into beecher's hope, then, keep the red circle on you until you enter the next big fence thing, now just slap on a mask and keep spamming the extended radar button so the pinkertons won't spawn near you. if the pinkertons do fire at you as you escape to new austin, try to keep them south-east of you so they will hit the canvas instead of you, which will save you a lot of health. sometimes, if you get lucky, you won't even be shot once by a pinkerton. by the time you get down to the bridge, the pinkertons will be gone and you can safely cross and roam around new austin without the worry of any extra lawmen.
also, a fairly minor tip but still a pretty helpful one: try to have an overweight or at the very least perfect or higher than average arthur before you attempt this. if you get unlucky and the pinkertons are shooting directly at you, they have insane damage, and if you're a tiny underweight arthur like how most players are, you'll get destroyed because of the increased damage impact that an underweight arthur has. to bump up your weight fast, cook about 15 big game meat of any variant. then head to van horn, kill the fence guy, eat a big game meat, go outside, and wait until morning. you can wait until morning forever until the guy respawns, so just eat a big game meat, wait until morning, rinse and repeat. each big game meat gives you +0.75 to your weight, with a max and minimum weight of 7.5.
Here is a way to spawn the wagon consistently. Fast travel to strawberry from campfire. Sleep in the hotel until noon. Ride on your horse to the right outside of town up the hill and go back after you go beyond town edge (it’s shown on your minimap). The wagon should be right around the corner next to hotel. Did it 5 time already and the wagon is always there if you do these steps.
Thanks man
Didn’t work for me
Just as a bit of humor, after one of the recent patches, Arthur gets constantly nagged in camp for not wearing warmer clothes. It doesn't matter what he wears, everybody says some annoying shit to him on a frequent basis. When I got Arthur the LOE outfit, I fully expected that to stop since this is a special outfit. "Aren't you cold in that?" was the first fuckin thing I heard when I wore it into camp.
yes lmao same happened to me
Me and Arthur are writing this as proud owners of Legend of the East outfit. Many many thanks for this video - it was very helpful, truly appreciated. I was ready to give up once I saw how many efforts these 4 herbs take, but eventually I collected them all after multiple attempts and deaths. Also, I confirm it still works as of October 19th 2022. I did it during Chapter 4. And pause tip was a lifesaver!
To whomever is on their way to do this - YOU CAN DO IT! Best of luck and don't give up!
Glad this helped, great job getting it done and thanks for reporting it still works
Thank You!!! Very cool? Isn't there 6 herbs exclusive in new Austin?
@@Pachurraz no this is a common misconception. 4 are unique to NA - Wild Feverfew, Desert Sage, Red Sage, and Blackcurrant. Prairie Poppy can be found in the Great Plains (you’ll still have to worry about Pinkertons but no sniper). English Mace can be found in Ambarino. Check the links in the description for where to find these.
How the hell did you break the hungarian? I get shot to pieces and want to give up.
@@Warm_and_loveable I found all the horses except for Mustang near Little Creek (across Hanging Dog Ranch). But it did take a really long time to spawn them all (sleeping, resetting the game etc.)
after 10 tries or so without getting a single fucking herb, i came to this video and did it in one try, no jokes. i love you
Great job getting it done, glad this video helped.
While doing the challenge I noticed a few things with the wagon:
-It has to be an empty wagon.
These covered wagons barely spawn in Strawberry, and when they do, they’re usually filled with something like chests or furniture. When collecting the plants, the camera would zoom in on Arthur’s head because the wagon was filled, and as you can guess, the sniper takes you out. With an empty wagon it zooms more into the empty space of the wagon, but because Arthur’s head is on the same level as the wooden part, the sniper easily passes. You can overcome all of this by moving the camera a lot when he’s picking the plants, but it’s risky as the sniper shoots every second, and in that second where Arthur is barely visible, bam, back to Big Valley.
-These wagons are pretty rare actually.
When I was doing this challenge, the wagon with the tarp rarely appeared, and most of the time it was that one-horse carriage or the cart with the logs. As mentioned, the empty tarped wagon is the one you want, but because the tarped wagon itself is pretty rare, you’ll be spending a lot of time going back and forth between the town and the woods to get the wagon to spawn.
-The buggy isn’t even that bad.
Yes, it’s all the way in Saint Denis so you’ll now waste a lot of time just to get to Big Valley. Yes, police are at every corner, so it’s not fun evading them as one spawns every second. And yes, it can be destroyed with one stray bullet to the lantern. But I find it better than the wagon as you’ll be spending far less time adjusting the camera to stop the sniper. It has that tiny window which can finish you when you turn corners and have your head showing unintentionally, but if you drive at a steady pace, it’s not that big of a deal. Something that sucks massive balls is that when you die in the plains, you have to go all the way back to the city for another of those buggies, which wastes so much time.
-Getting the vehicle takes a lot of time, but what is actually difficult is the Pinkertons.
Yes, you can drink all the health tonics you want, and you can avoid them easily after a few minutes, but their aim is enough to make you lose focus. Their presence in the plains is annoying but mostly avoidable, but if you’re still WANTED when you reach New Austin, they’ll spawn in the desert with you. Granted, it’s only one Pinkerton who can share the same road with you, and you can easily swerve around him to avoid his vision in the very open New Austin, but him seeing you in front of him for just a second is enough for him to call an entire squad to take you out. Tons of fun when you’re getting shot by Pinkertons with perfect aim and a oneshot sniper. However, if you can get to New Austin with none of them on your trail, then finding the plants isn’t that bad.
-Desert Sage is the worst plant of them all to find.
It only grows far-west of the map, near Tumbleweed, which is so so terrific when you’ve been shot back to Big Valley. At least Wild Feverfew and Red Sage can spawn at Hennigans Stead, which isn’t too much of a hike. Blackcurrant is all the way in Cholla Springs, but it’s everywhere there so it’s not that much of an issue. But Desert Sage basically spawns in one spot, and it’s tiny, and it blends in with the pink foliage which is at that spot for some reason. On the plus side, with good use of Photo Mode, you can find the plant eventually.
Anyway, I’ve typed a lot, but this video was very helpful. You’re the only guy that actually gave an in-depth video on how to get these plants, unlike others on this site which showed long and confusing videos on them mostly shooting New Austin birds, with barely any herb picking to be seen. Due to this video, I’ve gotten the Legend of the East outfit as early as Chapter 3 (I could’ve gotten it in Chapter 2, but Bandit 6 is all about using the horse fence, which is only unlocked in Chapter 3, so that sucks). But anyway, thank you so much for the guide, it was really helpful.
rockstar will somehow patch this strategy before they fix John’s hair.
They already took out the ability to adjust third person FOV.
Idk how much of a difference this one makes, but it's gone.
@@NickC_222 Yeah third person field of view is gone now in PS4
@@v0780 is it still doable? Because I’m about to find out
@@busi-person6614 Yeah i think but it's so hard for me. Instead i get legend of the east with another glitch the easy way without herbalist 9 in new austin if you haven't done gambler 9 yet.
@@v0780 how do you do that?
I don't usually leave comments, but you've definitely earned it my friend. Can confirm this still works as of 6/20/2022. This is BY FAR the most comprehensive and easy to understand video explaining how to pull this off. Took me about 5 or so tries but I got 3 of the 4 herbs my final go! Kudos man. To the other people seeing this comment: YOU CAN DO IT! It may seem impossible and there were plenty of times I wanted to give up and just finish the story again, but believe me - it's possible. Just give it time and if you get too frustrated then walk away and come back later. You will die while attempting this challenge. We all did - it's hard as shit. But you'll get through it and you'll get that outfit as Arthur. GOOD LUCK AND THANK YOU AGAIN!
Thanks for leaving a comment. Glad this helped and great job getting it done.
Thank you for this Jonathan & Jimbatron. Needed to read your & a recent comment. 😁 On my 2nd playthrough & I want the LOE outfit this time around. Been practising picking for several in game days now as well as real world days. The camera zoom through the back of the wagon and as soon as I pick the herb it zooms right onto Arthur. Grrr! Them angles I tell ya! 🤣 Tried the carcass shield method several times too, but yeah nah, got shot so many times. 😤😂 Might have to alter between all these methods until I'm victorious. I'll keep on trying. Thanks again guys. 👍👋 PS: I also realised the wagons I have been using is slightly bigger, the tarpaulin has 4 hoops & not 3 like in the clip...maybe that's the detail that is stuffing up all my attempts. Okay this wagon is going to Seamus. 😂
@@lawnaycutezee4105 best of luck with it. I think you may have been using an Appleseed Timbre Company Wagon (check for writing on the side), which works (perhaps better), but you need a different camera angle (higher and to the side iirc)
@Jimbatron I totes think the wagon was to big. I have since practised with a wagon that have 3 hoops & not 4. Heaps better & made it to the Feverfew location but got shot just as I picked it. Dang Sniper! At least I'm getting there. Sitting on the next wagon waiting for daybreak. Seriously, if takes a week or more but I'll do it. LOE outfit here I come, in Chapter 3. 😁 Thanx again Jimbatron. 🤠
@@lawnaycutezee4105 you got it man! It's definitely possible, just annoying and difficult to do. It's the best feeling when you finally get it though. I'm not sure which wagon I used when completing it but I know I tried basically all of them and had mixed results. I'd say try and find one wagon you like best and perfect it, especially for during the plant picking animation. Best of luck dude!
I'd almost given up hope, but it was this video that made me think it was possible. Particularly the bit about exactly how to line up the camera before jumping off the wagon; that was always my problem. It took a while, but I eventually did it! Thank you so much, Jimbatron! Also, I'll add my advice to the pile that's growing in the comments:
1.) Learn to love the pain. You're not playing RDR2 anymore - you're playing Dark Souls. You will die. You will die a lot. You will die to stupid mistakes and you will die for no goddamn reason at all. If you can get two herbs or bones or whatever in a run before you're shot, then you're doing very well. But the frustration is just a part of the process, so you'll have to learn to love it. I swear, you will get better.
2.) This is more practical than point 1. The angle is crucial before you jump off the wagon, absolutely (and thanks again Jimbatron for the tip). But I'll add that you have to stay on the ball while the camera's zooming in. Keep steering it as it zooms in on Arthur, but also (and this is just as important) KEEP STEERING IT AS IT ZOOMS OUT. Think of it as 'flying' the camera through the wagon and then reversing it back out. Don't just set things up at the beginning and watch them happen. Practice the moves and make it smooth.
3.) Get a wagon with three fabric 'segments'. They're much roomier to angle the camera through, in my humble opinion.
4.) The other videos on the internet make it look easy. It's not. It's not even easy after the ninth attempt. Just remember that (as in all things on social media and the internet) you're only seeing the highlight reel; you're not seeing the screwups and the practice and the failure and the embarrassment. You'll get there too, so don't worry about it.
5.) Keep the faith. I'd almost completely given up on this, but it became something of an Everest during lockdown. It felt like an incredible 'screw you, fate' when I finally got Arthur that coat, and he wore it with pride when his story came to an end. You can do it, but you have keep at it and have some goddamn faith!
6.) Screw you for making us do this, Rockstar. All you had to do was stick a bunch of New Austin herbs in a garden somewhere (maybe Algernon Wasp's garden; he's into botany). But no. You thought Arthur was good for nothing but a tragic ending. I not-so-respectfully disagree. But also, thanks for making a character so great that it inspired us to game the game to give him what he deserves.
PS: One of my favourite moments in my blooper reel was when I was trundling along with Arthur nicely covered by the camera, admiring the scenery and looking out for lawmen, when I went over one of those ramps that covers the railway line. The wagon moved way more than I thought, bumping up just enough to give me a lovely view of the back of Arthur's head. Which then exploded. I had to laugh. You know, once I'd stopped screaming.
Great job getting it done, glad this video helped. Some good advice here too!
This comment should be sealed into a Frame. What a marvelous tribute at the end too to Our Legend Arthur at the end to go along with great piece of Information. I was thinking of just doing Horseman challenge as Arthur, but, now, I'm going All in. You're breathtaking
You truly are a Legend of the East. I will not be attempting this, as I like ma sanity just the way it is, but to you I bow.
I must admit this one tested my patience.
@@Jimbatron I'm doing it now, I've successfully opened up the map down that way so I know where I am going to, as opposed to setting a marker roughly in the fog and hoping to christ its the location you want. Thing is, it isnt something you can have a quick go at, you need to really concentrate and spend time executing the techniques properly.
I did this just for the vest with the pocket watch lol. Had to make Arthur look like a dapper boah
Pro-tip for everyone:
I'm trying to find the comment so I can thank her, but one user suggested that when you're looking for covered wagons, find one of the wagons with THREE dips in the canopy, not four. The one with four may work, but the camera is a thousand times more finicky. I absolutely could not get the practice picks right with the four-dip canopy no matter what I did, but just as this user said, as soon as I found and tried a wagon with the three-dip canopy this trick worked *like a charm* almost every time (as long as I got the wagon lined up with the plant correctly.)
If you see her comment in your scrolling adventures, please thank this person for me!
Somehow this video didn't work for me. Am I missing anything? I'm on PS4 pro. I tried running into new Austin straight but got killed as soon as I picked up the first flower because the camera immediately panned on me, irrespective of the angle you suggested in this video. Then I tried practice run and tried the angles that this video asked to set while getting down the wagon. But, whenever I try to pick up the flower, the camera immediately pans on me. Any help? I've the camera settings as suggested.
Thanks man you're an absolute Chad. This is wat should appear on recommend when I search for not 2 year old videos with glitch that doesn't even work anymore
I think a person should consider using the Angelo Bronte glitch to enter New Auston. I deleted my game and reinstalled it after I turned my internet connection off, so I didn't update the patches. Benefits of this glitch over the wagon method:
-All legendary animals
-Any horse in the game (Saint Denis glitch)
-Otis Miller's revolver
-All legendary fish
-Turtle back talisman
-Unique Tumbleweed & Armadillo outfits
-Animal pelts required by the Trapper for all crafted clothing
The downside is you have to wait till chapter 4 to perform the Angelo Bronte
glitch, but it allows you to complete everything in New Austin as Arthur. Arthur even makes unique drawings of points of interest in his journal which proves Rockstar intended access to this area at one point during development
@Ry i did the angelo bronte glitch last night and you cannot pick any herbs or do legendary animals, you can however get the legendary fish, but mine is the dowloadable version so i'm playing on the lastest version of the game.
Might have taken a few years off of my life but I did it! Worth it for Arthur to have this outfit. Excellent tutorial!
Good job, glad to hear this helped
There is another way without this
@@DoritosChip668 A new one? Because the other that i know was patched
@@gracoliv7 no i mean there is another way to get the legend of the east outfit without the challenges
@@DoritosChip668 how so?
I remember doing this like 7 months ago. Absolute hell but getting arthur in that full LOTE set was worth it. My favorite game ever.
Another tip: if you haven’t completed the side quest for the Appleseed timber company near strawberry, I found it much easier to use the covered wagon that spawns in the camp than the traditional wagons. The canopy is taller so it’s easier to protect against the sniper shot, but you need to adjust your camera a little differently when collecting the herb. I panned it 90 degrees to the right (opppsite side that Arthur gets off) and it seems to be more consistent. I got all 4 herbs in one go.
I think the camera angle as you get off the wagon is overrated, I would just screw the camera angle and spam pause, much more reliable
I practiced with an appleseed wagon and your technique. It seems a lot easier to pull off than this video's technique. I think the pause glitch is now patched but I'm not sure. I'm currently at Thieves landing with my game paused. Wish me luck.
@@kira2650 Pause glitch is not patched but it can be inconsistent, use it as a last resort only, if the camera zooms in on you all the way. I think this took me like 10 runs, it's very sweaty but possible.
@@5552515 So I tried it out. The wagon was great however the run was cut short when two pinkertons were patrolling the road. I didn't have any road to turn on so I started off-roading. I got detected so I started driving as far away as I could. Long story short I got shot.... A LOT. And died. Thr worst part is I've completed the appleseed timber missions so seeing an appleseed wagon is lucky. But I'm going to try again later today.
@@kira2650 last year when I was doing this for my 1st playthrough, there was an appleseed wagon that drives by the stagecoach in Strawberry, coming south from the lake into strawberry, every morning . Can't remember the exact time, but Google it and I am sure you'll find it.
Thank you so much for this well explained guide! While trying many times to get the plants with your guide and different methods from other videos, I actually found that it was a lot easier with the little coach from Saint-Denis
The work behind this is very much appreciated. Thanks a lot.
No problem glad you found it useful
I did Herbalist 9 in the beginning of the game. Plus this video is really detailed and explained, it helped a lot during my herbalist challenge
Lol I tried for so many times and finally got it, but halfway to get red sage I accidentally pressed the “change view” button to first person when I tried to enter photo mode to look around more clearly and got shot within in 0,000001 seconds.
At this point I’m not even mad I just laughed because this goal of achieving lotE outfit as Arthur has completely broken me and made me into some psychopath
Glad you got it in the end. Same thing has happened to me accidentally going into fp mode!
*Update* I'm finally get it after 6 six days straight collecting this freaking herbs. For who want to get this outfit just watch this video and keep practice with the camera angle and you will get it. Why this channel dont have a lot subs and views cause this video guide work like charm. Your Sir Jim batron are the Legend. Ver 1.26 (Last Ver) On PS 4) 25-2-2021.
Thank fuck, I'll try this, because I am sick of thinking this challenge is impossible on PS4 as Arthur.
Good to hear. I'm still trying to get the camera angles right with the covered wagon but it's all very disheartening because I can kill it with the buggy, but the damn thing is so brittle. Yet, on the other hand, the covered wagon is so slow 😰
I'm no filthy casual, though. I'll get it eventually.
This is a great video, one of the best I've seen on this method. Detailed, clearly explained and demonstrated, no filler or weird stuff. Fantastic job
I've watched a view of your videos now, and just wanted to say thank you for the incredibly detailed guides. You make everything very simple and easy to understand. Well done
Glad you’ve found them helpful, thanks for leaving a comment
Thank you so much. I wouldn’t have made this without this awesome guide. I’m sure you can imagine how happy I’m right now. I just collected my last herb. Thanks again!
Glad this helped - thanks for leaving a comment and great job getting it done.
Thank you very much. I just finished this challenge on ps4 and it only took me two attempts. The pause glitch really worked and saved me in the last two plants pickups. This video and the one for the horseman challenge were really useful for completing the challenges before the epilogue. Thank you again.
Glad this helped, great job getting it done. Especially in 2 attempts - it took me more than that!
Thank you SO much for this. With many frustrating attempts, I can confirm this method still works as of June 2021. Arthur is rocking the Legend of the East outfit and all is right with the world.
I'm about to start this final process, how long did it take you?
Great job getting it done, glad you found this useful.
Nice to hear! Still busy trying to get the f'ing thing.
@@thomasshelby1172 Best of luck!! It was a trial for sure haha.
@@Vilo24 Hey, I'm so sorry I missed this! I hope you've gotten it by now. I was cracking at it for a couple weeks, maybe an hour or two at a time between normal gameplay bc it was very frustrating. I don't know how people manage to get all the fossils and POIs; these 4 little plants were difficult enough for me!
If you get a wanted level in Strawberry and then get into "Backwater/Great Plains" you won't have to deal with Pinkerton's.
Thing is, it can be quite tricky keeping them on you all the way past thieves landing which is what you have to do. I've always had pinkertons spawn as far as that.
I tried keeping the law on me when I got the prairy poppy and i still wound up with the pinkertons and an "if it moves, shoot it. Policy"
Still works as of January 22nd, 2023. Took me roughly four hours of attempts after finding this video. I figured I’d share some pointers.
1. When it comes to picking the right wagon, as others have pointed out you want a 3 canvas wagon as it’s taller than a 4 canvas wagon, which provides you with more camera maneuverability. Preferably the wagon should be empty so that your camera moves into the back of the wagon when you dismount, though in my second time getting into New Austin itself I managed to collect both Red Sage and Black Currant in one attempt with a filled wagon using the pause glitch. Also, getting the right wagon to spawn in Srawberry probably took about 25% of the time I spent doing this.
2. Before getting into New Austin there were many failed attempts where I was annihilated by the Pinkertons. I cannot stress enough how vital Minted Big Game Meat and potent health tonics are to ensuring you do not die here. Additionally you should really have at least an 80% health core just to make sure you maximize the amount of punishment Arthur can take. My cores were all 90% from doing other challenges and naturally leveling up.
3. Make sure you know where you are going! I failed many attempts by simply taking wrong turns and driving headfirst into more Pinkertons. Pay close attention to the path he follows in this video in order to avoid this. Once you get the route memorized, failing and returning won’t be nearly as hard since in addition to already knowing where you’re going, you will also have more of the map filled out.
4. The camera positioning when dismounting and pause glitch are both unpredictable. Now perhaps this is more true for me since I didn’t practice at all before just jumping straight into the real deal, but don’t get too upset with yourself if you mess up either of those because it’s super finicky. What can you really expect when you’re trying to defy the intentions of the developers?
5. Though it varies, the hardest part for me was getting the desert sage. So many times (at least four) I trekked all across the map perfectly executing every other part of the plan, just to die miserably right before the finish line. The desert sage is the furthest plant from you, and getting to it then dying is mentally exhausting. It is an exercise of pure mental endurance. If you have persistence, then you will accomplish your goal.
Finally, I just want to say that this video is the most comprehensive, helpful, and easily followable guide out there on how to do this. Absolutely could not have done this without the guide, so thank you very much. I’m 6 challenges down and the rat is still in prison. Only have Survivalist, Horseman, and Bandit left now, which should be relatively easy compared to this and the gambler challenge. Should be able to get the Legend of the East outfit midway through Chapter 3. Just need the horse fence to open up, then all prerequisites should be met. Thank you again for the awesome video.
Great job getting it done, glad this helped. Thanks for leaving a comment and confirming it still works
Have any of you ever texted the milk cart?
@@wedelsonsilva2719 the milk cart doesn’t work, it isn’t bullet proof, the sniper bullet goes through the wood. Not through canvas though. R* physics make about as much sense as the whole concept of an invisible sniper!
@@Jimbatron Help me configure my camera on the PS4, I'm having difficulties, I did as in the video, but when I get off the wagon, the camera already goes up to Arthur in 3rd person. If help is available, I just imagine that there is no way, due to the PS4 update (Build 1491.16)
This method still works really well as of August 4, 2022.
Just some tips I've got and that I've seen other people in the comments give as well.
1: Avoid using the cart that has larger wood pieces on the sides, as it seems to be easier for the sniper to dome you if you mess up even a little with the camera. I use the cart that Jimbatron shows in the video with the bigger tarp as it seems to give just a little more room for camera errors.
(I have not come across the cart with the compartment at the back for any of my runs yet, so I can't really say it's effectiveness.)
2: When you drive through Beecher's Hope and down to the two roads to New Austin, don't bother going to the left as it's longer than just going to the right as Jimbatron shows in the video across the bridge and the tracks.
3: Wear a mask once or before you enter New Austin, as it'll allow you a few moments more before the law recognize you if you run into any.
(I often put it on at Fort Riggs before I cross to Blackwater).
4: On the route going down to the more deserty area of New Austin past the first plant, watch out for that single, long road as it's often a bottleneck area that'll without doubt reset your run if lawmen spawn coming towards you. If they spawn going down the trail, just slow down and let them go away first and then try to get past them.
(Their spawn rates depend heavily on RNG. I've had runs where I saw no lawmen at all, and runs where I've seen some coming down almost every road. Just be wary, and GIVE THEM as MUCH SPACE as you can.)
5: If lawmen spot you, chances are really low you'll make it out alive, so just reload your save, so that you won't be wasting any Minty Big Game and Potent Health Tonics that you might've used when running from the lawmen.
(I'm still in Chapter 2, and while it's not terrible, I find myself not wanting to pay a lot of money for my bounty as stealing a cart gives you $10 a bounty every time you're reported or don't get away fast enough, so I reload every failure of a run.)
6: When you finally get to the plant you're going to pick, use the CAMERA to make sure you're aligned correctly so that Arthur won't walk further away and allow his head to be blown a hole through. Make sure the plant is as close to the front left wheel as possible without it being unpickable and also make sure that the plant is directly aligned with the center of the front left wheel, as when Arthur climbs off, it's where he ends up.
(Test, test, and test. Be efficient.)
7: The exploit, pause spam worked for me once but not any of the other times I tried to use it. It is a fallback method, so use it at your own discretion.
(I'll still try it every time I mess up though, might just save me.)
8: Something that's also fairly critical that I keep forgetting is timing when you climb off correctly with the sniper shots. Try to remember this in the critical moments, as it may give you just enough time to fix your camera like Jimbatron said.
Alrighty, that's all I've picked up reading through these comments and spending over three hours trying to finish Herbalist 9! I've picked up three of the four so far and I'm still in Chapter 2, having just done Strauss's mission to unlock the Ledger for the Legend of the East satchel for the previous Herbalist challenges. I'm trying to get Arthur his deserved drip as early as possible. All that's left now is the Desert Sage, farthest away under Tumbleweed. This challenge still makes me wanna smash my head into the floor very often but I've gotten further than I initially thought.
You've got this! Perseverance, Patience, and Efficiency!
Thanks for reporting this still works - great job getting the first 3, if you can do that you know the last one is possible!
@@Jimbatron No problem man! And thanks for the encouragement, I'll get it soon!
@@wateriswater6545 any time glad this helped
This is by far the best guide for this. It took some patience, but I was finally able to get them. The pause spam trick came in handy big time when I messed up the angle when exiting the wagon. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
Glad you found this useful and great job getting it done
Finally. Back then things were easier, I did the Bronte glitch and got them no problem.
Eventually my save data was corrupted and I stopped because I've already beaten the game 100%.
I wanted to redo a 100% and get everything I can with Arthur because he IS the Legend of the East and I thought Rockstar surely would tolerate atleast a little fun (Ohh what a fool I was.)
Anyway, a few tips. Even if the drive is longer, always go for the buggy, it's faster, has more protecting and it is WAY easiert to shield yourself, 9/10 cases you will be safe and and the camera won't go though the buggy.
Also, I think they've patched the wagon spawns in Strawberry. All the wagons I've seen had the white hood, yes, but it was retracted so it isn't of much use.
Can we just appreciate how Rockstar always has to play fun police and patch every glitch that's slightly fun? But then give's a rat's a$$ about the real, gamebreaking buggs?
Anyway, kope this'll help some of you.
I found the two-horse, white-tarp, full-top -coveted- covered* wagon riding through Strawberry just now on my first attempt, so they definitely still spawn in Strawberry. Unfortunately I don't quite understand what "line the wheel up with the plant" means, whether that means put the plant next to the wheel or in front of the wheel, and the proper positioning is about the only thing that's not described in exceptional detail, so I'm having a lot of trouble getting the plants during practice. I'm glad to hear that the buggy works better, even if it is more work on the front end for an easier time later. I'm definitely gonna give the buggy a try!
Edit: Samsung autocorrect is a joke.
I must say I am currently trying to do this and have found the buggy is far more reliable as you say. One thing i am finding is you have to really really watch when you turn sharply as one inch out and the gun of god shoots you through the gap. Currently trying to get red sage and am thinking about getting the last 3 together because of their proximity to each other.
Thanks very much Jimbatron! Your guides are the best out there. I'd never have completed the herbalist challenge early without your help. I appreciate all your hard work. Gotta check out your other guides now. Thanks again.
Glad you found this useful. Great job getting it done and thanks for leaving a comment.
4th time going for 100% and this is still my go to mainly for the flower locations. Trust this man he knows what he’s talking about.
Thanks dude. Kudos for the 4th run at 100%. Having done it a few times myself I know the effort dedication and skill involved - much more required than previous R* titles.
Thank you so much for this! I managed to get them all in just a few hours, never would have been able to without your help. I’m currently doing a 100% play through, so I’ll be sure to check out your other videos! Thank you again!
Glad you found this helpful, great job getting it done.
Thank you for this great guide! I have finally completed Arthur's adventure into New Austin picking all 4 plants. Took me maybe around 20 runs in total before I managed to pick all of the plants. I can confirm that your discovery of the "mash-the-pause-button" still works as of today, and it did save me on two occasions. It is very easy to mess up the camera angle when you tell Arthur to pick the plant, so it is handy to have this fallback glitch. Keep up the good work, I like your videos very much👏👏
Glad you found this helpful, great job getting it done. Thanks for reporting back it still works.
Thanks for the in-depth video man with commentary, lot of good info here. I just completed this using the buggy method. Only took me two attempts to get all four herbs. As long as you ride through beechers hope and are able to evade the pinkertons, and you do plenty of practice picking herbs and getting on and off the wagon you should be able to complete this in no time. Wasn’t quite as difficult as I imagined if done right, just completed all 90 challenges as Arthur let’s gooooo!
Great job getting it done, glad this helped
A tip I found is that you can use camera mode to easily identify these herbs if you don't recognise them or can't see them well.
Photo Mode* Also ty for the heart. This method helped me a whole lot partner.
Commenting on this video too because you are an absolute legend. THANK YOU for this guide and all your other ones. Patience and perseverance are the biggest keys to getting this done. Took me two entire nights and I finally got all 4 herbs. I died over 10 times for the first herb and 2 attempts to get the last three in one go. Thank you once again! It still works 12/29/22 and completed during chapter 2.
Great job getting it done. Glad this helped and thanks for reporting back that it still works.
As of June 15th 2023 this method still works.
Best spot I’ve found for a wagon is the Appleseed Timber Company north east of Strawberry as many of the wagons that spawn in strawberry have their canopies rolled up. I’d also suggest stealing the wagon at night as then you’ll be picking most the herbs in the day when it’s easier to spot them.
Also use camera mode to check you’re in the right spot before dismounting.
Happy hunting!
Thanks for reporting back it still works - great job getting it done.
Ah good because I need to try this!
Fucking legend. Appreciate the time and dedication toward the video. Just recently decided to replay rdr2 and wanted the legend of the east. You came in clutch.
Glad you found this useful. Worth checking out the link to unlockable eden gaming who I think discovered the wagon method first. There's a danger though that if you see a video of someone who knows what they are doing (and there's several people with videos showing they've done this) it looks easy - it isn't. A lot of practice is needed to set up the camera angle correctly, and if you get it slightly wrong it's game over. So I thought a more descriptive guide was needed. But all credit to the person who discovered this possibility: ruclips.net/channel/UCY81jQc-HoPYJDdc-h4_YoA
He shows only a specific angle to stay alive and pick the herb but there are more angles. You can find one that suits you better . It will take a lot of time but it’s worth it because once you get it , it’s always gonna be easy to pick the herbs.
Can confirm that this method works on the latest patch of pc (august 1, 2021). Just did this today, after testing it on the weekend, 5 herbs (prairy poppy too) on one go.
For anyone trying for the first time you will want the two horse wagon with longer cloth cover (less lateral wooden frame). Not all models work the same, as I found it easier, and more reliable, pushing the camera to the right side of the wagon while you dismount, making you protected by two cloths so to say, with this type of wagon. While on this position you can pick the herb and mount the wagon with little worries. I would say you try it several times before.
After that, major problem is the lawmen in New Austin if they see you, as they will hunt you down with dozens of horsemen. I barely survived in my successful run, was also able to return to Big Valley alive, one less wheel on the wagon, of course.
Great job getting it done, thanks for reporting back it still works
@@Jimbatron thank you very much for this tutorial, couldn't have done without it.
@@socramraiuga2375 no problem, glad you found it useful
Kudos for acknowledging unlockable eden and great job on presenting alternatives, explaining your justification for your preferred method, and clearly explaining the the linch pins for success.
Downright professional this video presentation.
Salute
Glad you like the video, thanks for leaving a comment
“Large amounts of reinforcements will arrive” bruh that was like 30 dudes
Yeah it’s a tad excessive isn’t it.
it's one of the van der linde bois
30 dudes IS a lot when they’re pinkertons
Guys, this is my advice, stop the first wheel of the wagon next to the flower, then get off the wagon e take it
I never would have even tried this if not for this video. Got it done in Chapter 3 after about a dozen trips. The Pause Trick saved my ass twice. Thank you so much for posting this.
I’m commenting for 2 reasons:
1) I could not have done this without your video. You could have not explained it any better, or demonstrated it anymore perfectly! Absolutely loved your advice - I’m definitely going to use your 100% completion playlist since I have a feeling that’ll be indescribably useful!!
2) I’m here to brag as well… I collected all 4 flowers, first try, zero deaths. Bonus: I did the majority of it in pitch black, picking the last flower at 7:06am in-game time
But again, I definitely couldn’t have done it without your video! Subscribed, can’t wait to see the your current/upcoming videos 💯
Glad this helped, great job getting it done.
You helped me a whole lot with horseman 9 and 10 and now you help me do herbalist 9 which I was convinced was impossible. Thank you so much!!
Thanks for leaving a comment, glad to hear this helped you out.
POV: Government has had helicopters in 1899 and the challenge for Lawmen were to only hit headshots
I've been studying this video for several days now and RUclips just suggested it to me again and asked how good of a suggestion it was. I said it was a 5-star suggestion, and when they asked why, I checked "Life-changing," because that it is. You're a gentleman and a scholar, my friend.
Thanks - glad you found it helpful!
I just finished getting the 4th plant in New Austin. Thanks a lot Jimbatron! It took five attempts to get them all. It was difficult to get the camera not to see Arthur when picking, so I used the pause glitch to get them and was able to get the last three plants in the same attempt. The attempts when Authur didn't have a mask on seemed to have many fewer lawman in New Austin.
Great job getting it done, glad the guide helped
Thank you so much for the guide. Took all day but I got er done! Earned a like and a sub! Cheers bud🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much! I completed all 4 in 1 go :D I can confirm both the pause glitch and the wagon still work!
Great job getting it done. Glad you found this helpful and thanks for reporting back it still works.
Big props to this man for this amazing video. Still works as of 12/18/2022.
Very well explained. I watched it a few days ago and I finally got the 4 herbs. This is such a nice exploit and the grinding justs add a new dimension to the game. Man were my hands sweaty on each run. I got the first three herbs on my first run, died picking up the 4th one; Sage. Then I tried again, and again. Finally got it with the pausing glitch. I'm a happy man now. THANK YOU. For all of u who are still behind it, Good LUCK !
Great job getting it done, glad this helped and thanks for confirming it still works.
I did it! Took me nearly 5 hours I think but I got the last 3 plants on the same run! The camera actually went past the wagon every time for me, but the pause trick worked almost flawlessly! Thanks for the guide, now I'm off to do Horseman 9
Great job getting it done. Glad his helped. There is a Horseman 9 as Arthur guide linked in the description of you haven’t seen it. It’s tricky, but you’ve done the part that was by far the hardest!
Thanks for the video it helped me a lot!
If anyone wants to attempt to do this challenge as Arthur on a new playthrough I recommend doing it while "The First Shall be Last" mission from chapter 2 is available. The Pinkertons that spawn will deal little damage and will lose you very fast. Good luck!
Glad you found the guide useful.
Can confirm that as of March 2022 this still works. I ended up going with the buggy from Saint Denis. I started with the covered wagon, but had trouble finding them and died quickly using them. It was just easier for me with the buggy and they’re everywhere In Saint Denis. Yes, it’s a drive back to New Austin from SD, but those buggy’s are peppy. Thanks Jimbatron, for this outstanding video that covers this in depth. Thank you.
Thanks for reporting back it still works. Glad this helped and great job getting it done.
Thank you so much buddy, this video was essential for me. Did exactly as you described and with quite some patience I succeeded in the end. Great work and very, very well described, thumbs up!
Glad you found this useful, great job getting it done (as you rightly say it requires patience).
August 26, 2021. I did it. Took me 3 days of practically nonstop playing just to get dessert sage. I’m on PS4 and the amount of times I died even while being covered up by the wagon, starting the animation, putting the herb in my satchel. This is about as close as it gets to insanity. Best thing I did was just keep trying, it is VERY frustrating getting all the way to Tumbleweed just to be shot but to anyone reading, it can be done. Take it from the person that only that the camera angle right 1 time out of 4, sometimes things like this really can be luck of the draw. Keep on going to the other Arthur Morgan’s trying to complete this and HAVE SOME GODAMM FAITH
Thank you so much bro!
My god this challenge was pain in the ass from all corners stealing a wagon, Pinkertons, camera angle and Tumbleweed lawmen. I burned out today just for this 🙁
No problem glad you found this useful
Just don't go through Tumbleweed...
Just did it on my PS4!! Exhausting but totally worth it. Spamming the pause button helped a lot. Greetings from Germany and thanks a lot for the great video!
Glad this helped, great job getting it done
What a well-put together video. It really could not have been done better and is exactly what I wanted to know how to do. Thanks.
No problem glad you found it useful.
Thank you so much for this video. I finally completed this challenge as Arthur. I almost gave up on Red Sage, as I kept dying on that, but I watched your video again and realised what I was doing wrong, I was not repositioning the camera after I got off the wagon. I managed to get the remining 3 plants in one run. Also, use photo mode, you can line up your wagon perfectly using that.
Thanks again partner!
Glad this helped you out great job getting it done
Got it done today. 03/03/2023. Followed this guide and it was still a struggle. Getting shot whilst picking seemed to be a coin flip. Collecting all 4 plants took me about 15 attempts so very time consuming 😂 Excellent guide video. It’s amazing what lengths us gamers will go for a silly costume.
Great job getting it done. Glad you found this helpful and thanks for reporting back it still works.
I cannot thank You enough. This approach is working as of 24March 2022. This guide is the gold standard, in guides related to the subject. Got all the herbs required for Arthur from New Austin.
Glad this helped. Great job getting it done and thanks for reporting it still works.
What version of the game did this work on?
@@ivorarnold91 whatever version was running Nov 2020. But more importantly multiple people have reported it still works on the latest patch.
@@Jimbatron thanks haha I was wondering if it still works. Gonna try it tomorrow! Amazing that you're still answering
@@joaomarques7365 no worries. Best of luck with it, but be warned, this is very difficult to pull off even when you know what you are doing.
Just did it today (4/25/21) on my PS4 in chapter 3! Thanks for such an in depth video with all the time stamps. It took me many tries, and I suggest to anyone attempting this to really practice collecting herbs before you do the real deal, but it's worth it in the end.
Great job getting it done, glad you found this useful
@@Jimbatron It was frustrating at times, especially when my cat jumped on me when I was dismounting so got sniped, and another time when I accidentally jumped off the wagon (???). It was also fun, I enjoyed riding through New Austin as Arthur.
YES!,,,Just done it in one go after about 5 times ,,, practice finding the sweet spot picking the herbs so camera doesn't poke through the hood of wagon.
Your the man, thank you.👍🙏
Glad this helped you great job getting it done
Dude I've tried like 30 times. The camera will be in the wagon when I hop off and I'll get shot through it. Also the pause method doesn't work for me. How??
Just completed it as Arthur in chapter 2 as of August 1st 2022
Here are my tips for anyone looking to complete this challenge
- Practice Practice Practice and practice some more until you get it down perfectly
- WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW HARD IT IS
- The Pause trick should only be used as a last resort as it doesn’t always work
- Use a canvas wagon that has 3 SECTIONS Of CANVAS NOT 4 SECTIONS - in my experience they seem to protect you more as it has more canvas than wood
- SAVE AFTER YOU PICK A HERB
- if you are really struggling with any of the herbs take a break and come back in a bit and try again
- YOU ARE MOST LIKELY NOT GOING TO GET IT IN A 1 OR 2 ATTEMPTS- So don’t be frustrated if you fail and have to start over thinking it’s your fault ,don’t worry it’s not it’s the games
- and finally DON’T GIVE UP YOU WILL GET IT EVEN IF IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE AT FIRST AND ITS WORTH THE EFFORT SEEING ARTHUR WEAR THE LEGEND OF THE EAST OUTFIT
Great job getting it done
lmao thats my goal too
im tryna get as much progress without rescuing micah and not doing the strauss mission
@@bersek5795 some thoughts on that
1) put off “the first shall be the last” as long as possible to reduce Pinkerton spawns on the Great Plains.
2) you’ll want to do the first Stauss mission to unlock the ledger and craft the legend of the east satchel - otherwise herbalist 7 will be a real pain
3) you can’t do Bandit 6 until you unlock the horse fence in ch3
@@Jimbatron oh alright
thanks for the help! i usually just speedrun thru the game lmao so i dont really do the challanges or anything like that i just now started to actually get into the like actual game after 6 playthroughs
So we Don't have to complete the steal 5 horses challenge,as the horse fence isn't open in chapter 2.
Just about to do this for a second time. Another hint, before you go picking, you may find it easier to just ride through New Austin to get rid of the fog of war. Its easier to put your way points accurately when the map is uncovered.
The pause technique is insanely good. Gotta try it, thanks!
Thank you! Great video! I just completed it! After a LOT of failed attempts with the wagon I tried using the buggy from Saint Denis which worked perfectly using first person camera
Glad this helped you out, great job getting it done.
I attempted this tactic not an hour ago and I would like to inform those on here that as of October 17th, 2021 at 9pm EST using a covered wagon allows access to New Austin as Arthur. I am in Chapter 3, having just completed "Sodom? Back to Gomorrah." and once I was able to get through the Great Plains region with a wagon intact I faced no issues in New Austin in regards to being shot by the offscreen sniper. This video has defiantly earned my like, and I greatly appreciate the creator taking the time to share this with those who do not want to play as John in order to complete certain elements of the game.
Glad you found this useful, thanks for reporting it still works. And good job getting it to work (which takes skill and patience!)
Thank you man I was just wondering if this glitch works anymore or not. Thank you 😊
@@sarojinibhavani492 other commenters have reported back that it still works
@@Jimbatron Thanks for a quick reply
Alright, after 4 attempts and around 3 to 4 hours in total I've managed to pull this off.
One useful thing to add here: you can avoid the deadly Pinkertons entirely if you enter the Great Plains pursued by the law, or better yet, bounty hunters!
They'll prevent Pinkertons from spawning as long you keep them in range.
Unfortunately, they really like to shoot the wagon's wheels instead of Arthur, which may break it completely. But with some good distance this can also be avoided and it's certainly cheaper than a dozen of health tonics.
Anyway, this video's been of great help - I also really like the structure, narration and time stamps.
Thanks for the guide and best of luck to everyone else!
Good job, glad the guide helped you get it done.
Took me 30 attempts. Haha.
After a whole day trying to do this I finally finished. After like my 4th attempt, somehow I stopped getting chased by Pinkertons and was able to go straight over the boarder into NA. I appreciate this video man. My thumb tired asf from pressing “A”😂
Glad this helped, great job getting it done
After a week of attempting and failing tonight I finally obtained the LOTE as Arthur Morgan 11/8/21. Thank you for your help!
Tip: smash the pause button over and over when you attempt to pick the herbs. That’s the only way it worked for me.
Glad this helped, great job getting it done
A good tip is to use photo mode to angle the wagon good
Just finished the challenge today (late Dec. '20) all thanks to this video! A few things I've noticed:
1. On console (I'm on PS4), despite adjusting all camera settings, there are 2 zooms (once when Arthur jumps off the wagon and a secondary zoom when Arthur picks the herbs). Usually the secondary zoom is what causes the POV to go through the wagon, so adjusting the camera angle before issuing the command to pick the herb is critical to ensure the canvas properly serves as a "barrier" to this secondary zoom.
2. Can't stress enough the importance of practice; there are a few Yarrows around Fort Riggs (which is on the way to cross into Great Plains anyways) that can used to great effect.
3. Just a heads up, the pause glitch @ 16:20 didn't work for me. Perhaps I was spamming it a bit too much so the sniper clock didn't reset correctly.
4. Sometimes it may not be a bad idea to have Pinkertons chase after you, at a "somewhat" safe distance. I've had a few tries where I successfully evaded the Pinkertons initially and thought I didn't have to spend any health tonic at all only to have them show up right at the crossing into New Austin. None of those attempts ended well...
5. In none of my attempts did a 2-horse wagon show up right inside (or around) Strawberry. Like someone said, the Appleseed Timber Company is there to help. They'll be more than happy to lend you one at the cost of a tiny bit of honor and nothing else. Take the one farther away from the gentleman who warns you about wolves to avoid being reported for a crime.
This is great stuff! Thanks again for the help and detailed info, now I'm a proud owner of the Legend of the East outfit and Arthur is rocking it for the rest of the game!
Great stuff, glad the guide helped you out
Works 30 Jan 2021 on the latest PC version. Can't thank you enough for your video, very detailed and well-explained!
For those having trouble getting ur hands on an Appleseed wagon, I have something to add. I am in Chapter 2 but I've done all 4 stages of the Appleseed event area already (no one is there anymore and it tells you to switch on theatre mode every time u pass by), and I find this one Appleseed wagon spawning on the main road coming into Strawberry from Owanjila, at around 8.15am, every day. So what worked for me was to get a room in Strawberry, sleep til midnight, get out, use the 'wait til morning' action just outside the grocery store (so the time is set to 8 am), make a save (so you can conveniently reload this save if u die in NA, and immediately get the wagon again to have another go), mount your horse, and head out of Strawberry on that west main road. There WILL BE an Appleseed wagon on that road coming towards u! It has a fixed path but I'm not too sure where exactly the 'spawn' is (where this path starts), so depending on the time, you may catch this wagon at the U-turn (around 8.30-ish), or further down that road (like 8.15) closer to Owanjila.
However this has not worked on any of my other saved games where I have not completed any Appleseed event, and on those saves the wagon doesn't regularly spawn at Appleseed Timber area, nor on the road coming into Strawberry; so the completion of the Appleseed events does somewhat make access to this wagon easier.
Glad to hear the video helped you out
I can confirm that this still works as of October 10th of 2022, however the pause backup glitch doesn't work anymore ( but i can't say enough how fucking grateful I am for you making this guide, RESPECT + )
Thanks for reporting it still works - great job getting it done, glad the guide helped
Can’t believe R* bothered to patch that. They paid money to do something literally nobody wanted them to do, and many did not. Imagine that.
The game not letting you complete the challenges as Arthur is evil
After a whole month I finally managed it today using this method and Arthur finally has the LOTE! A few observations
1. Do not underestimate the value of practising picking herbs in Big Valley. There is a lot of trial and error particularly because, even when you follow the above guidance for setting up the camera, getting it to not zoom in when you pick the plants involves you getting the angle just right. I personally reccomend you pick at least 4 or 5 herbs before you venture into new austin.
2. Persevere. You will get all the way to a herb and die. You will have the pinkertons shread you in seconds. You will have some inexplicable unlucky crap happen that frustrates you no end. But you will do it. Thus challenge is the hardest thing you can do but you will do it. Keep at it. Its taken me a month but you will do it. Eventually.
3. When you get through beechers hope, take a left across the railway tracks into new austin. Drive along the tracks as much as you can. There is less chance of meeting the law or anybody else at all.
4. When you get off the wagon, lower the camera so its just above the wood (so the bullet still hits the camera) and then move the camera slightly left and right repeatedly. I found this stopped the camera from zooming through the canvas quite so frequently. It isn't fool proof just something I found worked for me.
5. Keep the camera as far up above you as possible. The sniper did get me because it moved a fraction of an inch and a little part of Arthur was exposed.
Good luck!
@jimbatron thank you so much! I wouldn't have been able to accomplish it without you and your hints!
Great job getting it done, huge kudos for the commitment to keep at it.
As of Feb 26th, 2023 I can say that this guide I still 100% accurate. Even the pause trick still works (lol took me a bit to get the hang of). I just wanted to say thank you so much for this guide! After 3 days of cursing,eye twitching,strained nerves, and mood swings lol I gotta say I can't stop smiling at seeing Arthur rightfully rocking the Legend of the east outfit! The camera definitely screwed me over on many occasions lol but it's finally done! Thanks again you absolute legend and to anyone else still trying...YOU CAN DO IT! DONT GIVE UP!!!
Glad this helped, great job getting it done and thanks for reporting it still works.
I did it thank you so much for your help Jim Batron. So much frustration and pain but it was all worth it !
No problem. Glad this helped and great job getting it done.
If there is another name for arthur Morgan, it must be Jim Batron. Thx for your amazing video!
You’re too kind :)
Glad you found this useful
Thanks for this Partner! I'm doing a platinum run and completing as much as possible with Micah in Strawberry jail. Gems like this help keep that maniac where he belongs.
No problem, hope this helps. To warn you it’s tedious and requires patience to pull off - it took me about 10 failed attempts. But it’s the only way afaik after they patched the Bronte Glitch.
Does it still work??
It probably took me longer to do Horseman 10 or Gambler 8 than it took to get the last 4 plants for this challenge, thanks to this guide. I failed a few attempts, finally got the wild feverfew (and died), and then had a run where I got the other 3 plants very smoothly. I just followed your full run example very carefully and made sure to line up the wheel directly next to the plant and it was surprisingly easy. Thanks so much, LOTE outfit here I come!
Glad this helped, thanks for leaving a comment and great job getting it done.
After many, many attempts, I finally completed this challenge. Thank you for the instructions.
Great job getting it done, glad to hear the guide helped
Yes just managed this, thanks for this great guide!
Any time, glad this helped. Great job getting it done. Took me 10 attempts about I think, so I know it's not easy even if you know in principle how to do it!
@@Jimbatron I thought it would be plane sailing at the start, I got the first 2 on attempt 1. But it took another 7 or 8 attempts to get the final 2, glad I've done it now!
It still works to this day (24/02/21)
This is the best and most awesome guide, after a few minutes of practice i manage to get the first 3 plants in my first try (i died in the last one sadly).
I wish more guides where as precise and helpful as yours.
Great job partner !!!
Glad this helped, great job getting the plants (not easy even when you know how).
Do you have any tips ? Because i did a lot more than a few minutes of practise and i keep getting shot because i think my camera angle is too low and i get shot through the wood..
@@ritchienithoo9479 Mmm when you get off to get the plant or while your driving ?
While your driving you can position the camera looking a bit towards Arthur's left for bumps in the road and some extra proteccion
When you pick up a flower, the best thing i can recommend is to look a tiny bit up
And when you're on ground standing in front of the flower, try to adjust the camera a bit up and look to you're right a little
In other words, try to make the back entry of the waggon the only thing you can see, that will stop the camera to go towards the wood of the floor of the waggon...
Extra tip: you can get unlimited amount of cougar pelts if you do a circle on the path of brandywine drop, starting from cabin of the widow, go down the path and make your way towards the cabin where you can sleep (the one almost right next to the river, not the one with the treassure map), then go to the viking tomb, then follow the path until you get to the abandon train station (the one near Marko Dragic's lab)
A cougar will spawn in the area, search for him until you find him (if it doesn't spawn, repeat the previous steps, it doesn't take more than two repetitions to make it spawn)
After you killed it and skinned it, put the carcass in your horse and throw it away, this will make another one to respawn the next cicle.
@@ritchienithoo9479 if you’re getting shot through the wood you need to raise the camera so the canvass is between you and the camera
@@Jimbatron Thanks for the tip ! Managed 3/4 and got shot through the wood while picking the herb on the last one..Definitely improving, with some luck i'll get the last one soon !
Thank you so much man !! Never could’ve done it without you.
No problem, glad you found this useful.
Perfectly done video. I had been making trips in for the animals for a day or so. The other similar guides all pale in how specific you are.
Finished it up and am now sad there isn't any more stuff to grab, I got pretty good at the process. Now for 25 more anonymous herbs from the main area. Thanks again
For everyone still looking - as of day 10th August 2022 this method is still working very well!
(The fall back glitch showed in 16:20 works as well)
Thank you so so much for this dude! I've just managed to get all herbs after 4 tries but it was completely worth it :)
I also have a tip for anyone who is planning on using this method:
I recommend to start heading towards New Austin in the late evening, so when you cross the bridge after which Pinkertons stop chasing you it's around 7/8pm
Doing that lowers the chances of encountering any lonely lawmen (as the one showed in 16:00)
(When I attempted to ride to NA during the day I've run into sometimes two or three of them on my way, which caused me to try to rapidly turn around and ride away in order for them to not notice me and in panic I accidentally moved the camera to the side and the invisible sniper shot me lol)
Glad this helped - great job getting it done and thanks for reporting back that it still works
Is this working in rdr 2 Oct 2022 ?
not sure if someone mentioned it but to prevent Pinkertons from spawning, have law from strawberry follow you. if the red circle (that depicts law search area) stops tailing you, just fire a few shots towards the sky and it's location will be updated with you as the center, forcing the law to follow you all the way to the border of new Austin where you can finally outrun them. note that you must be fairly close to the red circle when shooting or it won't update so I tend to shoot a bullet towards the sky every few meters or so and stop right at the border so they don't chase me into new Austin.
it's way easier than having to deal with Pinkertons.
Fine but if you're going across the wood reservoir at owanjila, that trail with the cutbacks is a nightmare on horseback, how is it done with a wagon?
@@rosiecatbandit The route i followed was, Start at strawberry and go south towards manzanita post (you cross the river near the letter "G" of Great Plains) then follow the path south, towards Quaker's Cove and consequently to thieves landing. just before crossing the lower montana river u want to be rid of the cops following you, so time it accordingly and they wont follow you into new austin. its reallly easy, just stop having the red circle follow you after Quaker's cove.
@@songlovers3426 ahh yes thanks. I've been so used to the challenge nine horseman I forgot I could cross water. I've wiled away 2 hours since I typed this trying. Gonna practice the route with John, I think. I absolutely hate dying repeatedly.
Mainly it was due to me getting panic jazz hands and being unable to steer a wagon under attack 😂
@@rosiecatbandit hahaha I feel you on that
Thank you so much for this guide, with trial and error was able to get it done, had a little slip up on the last herb, but that spamming the pause button trick as fast as possible saved it for me was able to get it without dying.
No problem glad you found this useful
