A Plague Tale Requiem: Hugo's Herbarium, Flower Locations

Updated:

In A Plague Tale: Requiem, the emotional journey is intertwined with a touching side quest: Hugo's Herbarium. Throughout their perilous adventure, Amicia and Hugo collect various flowers, each a small moment of peace amidst the chaos. Finding all five unlocks the "Herbalist" trophy/achievement. This guide provides detailed locations for each flower, ensuring you don't miss a single one.

Chapter 2: Newcomers (Ignifer)

Flower #1: Arrowhead

This is the first collectible you'll encounter and is practically unmissable. After escaping the rats in the city and reaching the surface, Amicia and Lucas find themselves in a small garden. Lucas will specifically point out the Arrowhead flower, making it impossible to miss. It's a gentle introduction to the collecting aspect of the game.

Chapter 3: A Burden of Blood (At the edge of the city)

Flower #2: Chamomile

Your search for the herbalist leads you and Lucas to his forest dwelling. Near the pond, look for a large tree with flower pots hanging from its branches. One of these pots contains the Chamomile. Use your slingshot to shoot the pot down, allowing you to collect the flower. Keep your eyes peeled as you approach the pond area.

Chapter 4: Protector’s Duty (Night Work)

Flower #3: Gentian

As you progress towards the Order's boat, follow the path down to the port. Instead of heading straight, turn right and follow this path to its end. The Gentian, a striking purple flower, will be located right at your feet. It's a relatively straightforward find if you remember to explore the right side of the port area.

Chapter 5: In Our Wake (Bridge under construction)

Flower #4: Anemone

This flower requires a bit more exploration. After Amicia cuts the steel chain, you'll reach a lock with two scaffolding platforms. The second platform advances the story, but the first one leads to the Anemone.

1. Move the nearby cart towards the first scaffolding.
2. Head back slightly in the direction you came from.
3. Look at the scaffolding and spot a chain on the left holding a small drawbridge.
4. Use your slingshot to break the chain and lower the drawbridge.
5. Cross the bridge and head left over the rocks until you reach a tree.
6. The pink Anemone is located on the cliff edge near the tree.

This flower requires a bit of puzzle-solving and exploration, so take your time and follow the steps carefully.

Chapter 16: King Hugo (Marseille)

Flower #5: Carnation

The final flower is found in the later stages of the game. As you follow the path in Marseille, Lucas will draw your attention to the Carnation. It's placed in a way that makes it very difficult to miss, serving as a final, poignant addition to Hugo's Herbarium.

Collecting all the flowers not only enriches the narrative experience but also rewards you with the "Herbalist" trophy/achievement. Happy collecting!
