Gear up for the ride...

[UncivilS3rvant]

So, just completed the They Won't Let me Leave cutscene and Boozer is bugging me to leave but do I need to complete the remaining map marker for Horse Lake Nero Checkpoint first?

It's still showing in the Storylines, although nothing else is...

[UncivilS3rvant]

OK, went back to Boozer and that triggered a call from Tucker to get her drugs, and now I have to pick up some egg thing for Lisa.

Maybe we'll ride off once I finish the latter...

[UncivilS3rvant]

OK, have to go and pick lavender just past that Nero checkpoint so going to have to deal with it now anyway...

It's just a story line thing and not an actual quest. You complete it by just playing the game and continuing the story.

Are you suggesting I can pick up lavender elsewhere? The flashback cutscene showed Deek originally picking it by Tucker's camp...

Yes. You can get lavender anywhere. It grows by water. So it should spawn around the lakes and rivers. Just like later they want you to get a poison plant and give you a location, but you can pick it up anywhere you find it. The location they give you is just one if the areas it spawns.

Good, although I've completed one horde, I'm not ready for another one yet...

[UncivilS3rvant]

OK, got the lavender but now I have to wait for a couple of days?

Can I just sleep through or do I need to do something?

Don't worry about them. They aren't really that a threat all that much. If you see one drive around it. Then when you get towards the end of the game like right before the final mission it'll mark all the hordes on the map if you decide to fight them all. Which is pretty easy since you'll have all the good weapons.

Not sure where you are at. There's only one mission that requires you to get it after the flashback. Once you get the lavender you should get the updated mission having you go back to boozer.

Yeah, it's a little misleading on how the stories are set up. There's a ton of side missions, etc. that will come up and will slowly tick away at the progress for that 'main' quest you see initially. Heck even the Leon one takes a bit.

For the horde's you can always wait until they are out and then try to sneak into the area while they're out romping around. The one camp that has railroad tracks above it can be easily cleared once you have some explosives and can most of the horde down inside the railroad cars.

Outside of that, I've mostly tried to avoid the hordes and just grab the Nero loot when they're not around as noted above.

OK, turned out I needed to rescue Lisa from the Rippers, which triggered after fast travelling to a couple of camps, and that triggered the ride to Iron Mike's camp.
