Where to Begin?

The mission starts in the northern part of Saint Denis, in the building where Algernon Wasp runs his business.

Algernon Wasp can offer you five jobs to find plumes, alligator eggs, and orchids. You can only complete these tasks one at a time, and only after finishing the first one can you move on to the second, and so on. Delivering the required items is rewarded with a lot of cash.

You can also collect the items without starting the job, but this will not provide you with any financial benefit.

First Job

For the first job, you need to find 5 Snowy Egret Plumes in the area marked on the screen above. Look for white herons, but be careful as they are very fearful creatures. They often appear in flocks, so use Dead Eye to take out as many as you can quickly.

Egrets rarely appear on the map, so take advantage of every opportunity when they appear in your vicinity.

Look for them during the day, as they do not appear at night.

For the second job, you need to find 5 Little Egret Plumes in the area marked on the screen above. These birds are also very fearful, so approach them carefully or snipe them from afar with Dead Eye.

Look for them during the day, as they do not appear at night.

For the third job, you need to find 5 Reddish Egret Plumes in the area marked on the screen above. These birds are easy to scare away, so approach them carefully. They have a darker shade of feathers compared to other variations.

Look for them during the day, as they do not appear at night.

For the final job, you need to find 15 Lady of the Night Orchids. These flowers grow on trees, mainly around water. Look closely at the large trees in the area marked on the map.

Completing this job rewards you with $110.

Second task

In the area marked on the screen above, you can find 20 Heron Plumes. Herons often appear in flocks, making it easier to spot them. Once you see a flock, use Dead Eye to aim and shoot as many birds as possible. It may take a few days to kill all 20, so collect the feathers and return the next day for a new batch. Herons are only active during the day, so make sure to search for them then.

Find 10 Moccasin Flower Orchids in the area shown in the screenshot above. They are small green flowers with brown petals.

Look for 7 Lady Slipper Orchids in the area marked on the screen above. These flowers have pink petals and are easy to spot.

You will earn $125 for completing this task.

Third task

To complete this task, you must find 25 Gator Eggs in the area marked on the screen above. Although finding the nests is easy, you must be careful when collecting the eggs as alligators are nearby and will attack you. You can find 3-4 eggs in a single nest.

Find 3 Acuna\’s Star Orchids, which are white flowers growing on tall trees with few leaves.

Look for 7 Cigar Orchids, yellow flowers growing on very tall trees near water.

Collect 5 Ghost Orchids, white flowers that grow on trees often near water. Watch out for alligators!

You will earn $150 for completing this task.

Fourth task

In the area marked on the screen above, you can find 30 Spoonbill Plumes. Once again, use Dead Eye to aim and shoot these birds, which often appear in flocks. Any feathers you\’ve collected from previous tasks will count towards this goal.

Find 5 Night Scented Orchids, very small flowers that grow on trees.

Look for 5 Spider\’s Orchids, white flowers that grow on trees in the marked area.

Collect 10 Rat Tail Orchids, white flowers that grow on trees. They are hard to spot due to their small petals.

You will earn $175 for completing this task.

Fifth task

Find 5 Clamshell Orchids, small flowers growing on tall trees with few leaves.

Look for 5 Dragon\’s Mouth Orchids, flowers with purple petals, growing in the area marked on the screen above.

Find 5 Queen\’s Orchids, small flowers with pink-white petals.

Collect 10 Sparrow\’s Egg, which are actually flowers with few white petals that grow in the marked area.

You will earn $200, an Exotic Hat, and Algernon\’s Revolver for completing this task.
