Missing flowers?

[barzai]

I've found all the flowers in sets #2 and #3. I also have all but two in set #1. I'm missing #1 and #6 (top left and middle second from left). I've scoured the map multiple times but I do not see them. I even double-checked the snowy areas several times on the theory they might not be easy to see due to the low contrast. But no joy.

...Any ideas?

rewards are trash, dont bother
or watch youtube, yes there were few flowers in unexpected places

Most of them aren't always at the spot the map claims they are at.

They are nearby, and are usually marked by a triangular green hedge with a good scenic view.

I also tend to have this problem, which I suspect may be a bug of textured not loading that resolves itself after u walk around the area not ><"

set1 #1 is in the ruins you fall in as a child, can return when grown (and break through a wall for a power cell for the shield weaver armor), #6 is in the cave ruins to get the armor on the left, which is just north of the gate with Varl.

If you waypoint the flower it will mark the centre of the circle at the height of the flower, so look around for spots at that height in the circle

ye all of the rewards for the collectables are kinda useless. By the time you get them they'll be rewarding you with green level mods while you have all purples in your stuff. Though that is honestly a major flaw in the game, the best gear you essentially buy instead of find for the most part, so unless you waste money you end up with a fortune very quickly.

Thanks, that was what I needed.

Although it doesn't really explain why they don't appear in their shaded circles on the world map.

To the other contributors: thank you for your assistance. As you might guess after collecting 28 out of the 30 and turning in two sets, I was aware of most of these considerations. At this point it's about completionism, not the rewards.

The game map is a little weird in that metal flowers in underground ruins will not show up on the map until you are in the ruin.

Also, even though they actually appear on the ground-level map, they don't get that little nimbus that makes them and the other collectibles visible.

And it doesn't help if--God forbid!--they're in a snowy region!!! :-)

Your Focus will highlight them which is handy, however. :)

Well...yes. But you have to localize them first! :-)
