Where to find Night Scented Orchids
Players looking to track it down are going to have to head towards the dangerouscounty of Lemoyne inRed Dead Redemption 2. All ten spawn locations for this plant are located in the southern portion of this region. Two are located just within the Bayou Wa part of this region, while the other eight are within Scarlett Meadows. Important to note, each flower in this list will be about head-height on a tree and it is best for players to activate Eagle Eye when on the hunt.
Working from east to west on the map, the first location is actually close to the western entrance of Saint Denis, one ofthe more interesting cities inRed Dead Redemption 2. The flower is located on a tree just to the east of where the two paths converge on the island north of Shady Belle. Players should be mindful of the crocodiles though, as this plant is right by the coast.
The second location is just off of the road that leads to Shady Belle campsite, which isnow occupied by the Lemoyne Raiders. Players will likely remember this campsite from the storyline ofRed Dead Redemption 2and the Night Scented Orchid is just a short walk away. The orchid is near the river and just off of the northern path out of that gang hideout.
The next Night Scented Orchid is about halfway between Shady Belle and the abandoned church at the Civil War battleground. For those who have discovered it, this plant is just underneath the rabbit drawing on theRed Dead Redemption 2map. It is a quick ride into the woods east of the path that goes by that church.
The fourth Night Scented Orchid is much further down and southwest of the abandoned church and Civil War battleground. The tree with the orchid is to the north of the river-side path in this area. Players have to take a short walk north from the middle point of this path to find this plant.
The next Night Scented Orchid is a short walk from the abandoned church. Players on the hunt for this spawn location for the orchid need to head southwest of that half-destroyed structure. The tree the plant rests on is right near a small meadow and shouldn’t be too difficult to locate with Eagle Eye activated.
The sixth Night Scented Orchid is a longer walk than the previous but its nearest landmark is still that abandoned church. This spawn location is almost directly south of that structure and is in the midst of a forest. Another way to locate this orchid is to follow the eastern outside path around one of the morebreathtaking locations inRed Dead Redemption 2, Braithwaite Manor. Once the player gets closer to the riverbank they can head into the eastern woods to find this orchid.
The closest landmark to the seventh Night Scented Orchid is the Old Harry Fen Shack that players may remember as being one ofthe darker places inRed Dead Redemption 2. This orchid is directly northwest of this building, just a short walk away on a tree that is a bit away from others.
Similar to the last Night Scented Orchid, the eighth flower is right near to the Old Harry Fen Shack. It is located on a tree in the exact opposite direction and is therefore just a short walk to the southwest.
The final two Night Scented Orchids are centered around the southernmost structure in Lemoyne: Catfish Jacksons. Unfortunately for anglers, this place has nothing to do with hunting down theLegendary Fish ofRed Dead Redemption 2. Rather it pops up in another way in the game’s storyline. This orchid, the ninth of ten, is to the northwest of this homestead and is facing the opposite direction of the river.
The final Night Scented Orchid is to the northwest of Catfish Jacksons and rests on a tree atop a hill. This is the tenth example of the orchid in the game and the westernmost one as well. It is a bit of a walk from the homestead but is directly west of the word “Jacksons” ontheRed Dead Redemption 2map.
How to use Night Scented Orchids
Night Scented Orchids have an uncommon use inRed Dead Redemption 2, much like the Lady Slipper Orchid. These plants exist in the game world because of the side quest,Duchesses and Other Animals. This questline begins inChapter 4 ofRed Dead Redemption 2and has a total of six parts.
At its core, players have to track down a number of rare items and plants in exchange for money. Part 5 of this questline asks players to gather five Night Scented Orchids.
Red Dead Redemption 2is out now on PC, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
