Herbalist challenge #3 | pure sage

[Alex_R-13]

I am currently trying to do the third herbalist challenge, where you have to craft 7 items with sage. I tried some meat with orleander sage and other sage variants, but they all don't count towards the challenge. The only thing that counts are the horse items that require "pure" sage, but I have never found "pure" sage, only some variants of that. Anyone knows location for that?

I think that I found some original Sage when I was hunting the Panthers at Belle. The plant was in the southern part of the forest/closest to water or maybe on a meadow. 

 

Try there and report back

Yeah there's another variant of sage, I tried same as you but the orleander one is poison and doesn't count. It's good for making poison arrows though. The other sage was a bluey purple colour I think. Can't remember where I got it from though.

hummingbird sage counts...you can craft a horse steroid (can't remember the name) with it...craft 3, exit crafting, use them, rinse, repeat...i found it in several spots...here's a vid of one of the spots...save your oleander...you'll need to craft 6 poison weapons for a later challenge...

 

side note : for the tobacco one, create potent snake oil as it's the only ingredient...use 6 times, keep 3...

 

2nd side note : for the special ones here's a linked list for recipe locations if early in the story...https://segmentnext.com/2018/10/27/red-dead-redemption-2-crafting-guide/
