Episode 3 help: antiseptic/old man's beard

[samloomis81]

I give up. I only found 1 OMB after half an hour of searching. Where can I specifically find them? the only thing still missing for me to be able to progress. I carried all those people to the community hall for what must have been hours XD

There is usually a few of them just up by Molly's Barn- the little barn down by the farmhouse- very close to the road, and really easy to miss in bad weather.
Been a while since I played the episode, but I want to say there may be some across the river from TC- cross where the church and the little boat shack are, and there's a little flattish are that can have some. Also the bunny grove area behind the church- you really have to look for them and watch out for toothy critters there. I don't remember if the clearing off to the right of the Rural Store- leading back to Upper Falls had any in Story Mode. The Whiteberry maps aren't entirely accurate for plant resource spawns in Story Mode IIRC- they may show up in other places.

I know there were more spots, but I honestly don't have a clear memory of where I found them in Story Mode- PV is huge, and it's easy to walk by a clump of trees 10m off to the side, and not see the one tree that has some hinging off of it. And I am a compulsive harvester in both Story Mode and Survival mode- I hare vest every plant I can find, even if my character is already overburdened, lol. (Come on- 1 more mushroom in your pack won't kill you, right? Until it does...)
But I do remember them pretty much always being by Molly's Barn near the road, when I played the episode in different difficulties.

Well I did find them eventually. To anyone stuck with this: do the survivor cache side mission, there's a bunch next to the last one + antiseptic in some of them. Usually OMB can be found right next to named locations too, I found out.

(bit of necromancy for feedback on this requirement for the mission, because it just caused me a lot of pain and walking around)

Got stuck on this one, and named places didn't really help me, around Molly's Barn (the forest near it) was empty, and around Town Hall was also empty. Only thing that worked for me was to go through all the bunkers (that got me 4 bottles, plus one that I already had from a home) and the Forest Talker cache near Three Strikes Farmstead (where one of the notes for them are), which had anoter bottle. With a total of 6 bottles/3 liters/4.2 kgs/30 applications of antiseptic in form of bottles, that got me... 6 antiseptic for the mission. Wow. One bottle of antiseptic the same as one single OMB?

Really wish Hinterland patched this. They can increase the amount needed, it's okay. Even if you miss a few bottles, getting 20 is easy, even 30 is doable for the attentive. But unless you beeline every time you see an OMB on a branch, you'll be waaaay under the needed amount.
