Most stupid trophy/achievement of all time!!!

[El-Ayat]

This game has the most stupid trophy ever for people who likes getting all achievements in a game ! Ok let me say I know that most people don't care about trophies/achievements but why would u make this stupid " wild wild hoarder" trophy for collecting all herbs in an open world game that has no tracking for herbs collected or even a herb counter ! I mean at least let me know how many herbs remaining or even remaining locations to look for ! This is damn stupid and walking around in 1st person mode to keep looking for herbs in the whole damn village makes it impossible due to looking in the whole map it just gives massive nausea walking around in 1st person ! Tried the herb dumper mod from shenmuedojo website but sadly it's not helping much ! I don't want to leave bailu before getting this trophy

You can search for them in the third person too. Its not that hard. I did it it Bailu. I have more problem with the 1000 fish achievement. :)

I know it's an old post, but I couldn't agree more with your comment. Both, "Wild wild hoarder" and the one to get 1000 fishes are really stupid achievements, a game that could be super short turns into an eternity just for this nonsense. And I also get some headache looking for flowers in that 1st person camera. And I don't have this problem with other games, only with this one.

There is a trick to make around 60 fish for a day. I'm not saying that it will be fast. It's only for dedicated fans. The 1000 fish achievement can be done while listening to podcasts/music or watching youtube/tv. It's somehow rewarding at the end. You will win ~20 000 money that can be used for other tasks.

If I can unlocked every trophy in the game, everyone can do it. But i can understand how this can make some people pissed. Especially these that are in the hurry to try another game.

I'm not in a hurry, I love Shenmue I and II and finished and completed all achievements, but these achievements in Shenmue III don't make any sense... you're supposed to be in a hurry to find Shenhua's father so you take one month do find some clues while all your effort goes to fishing and collect flowers and capsule toys. Everything in the game feels slow, there is no dynamic.

Anyway, about what you say, what is the trick? I could say I'm a "dedicate fan" but there is a limit of four hours that per day that you can fish. In this time, I get between 12 and 16 fishes. 60 fishes in a day sounds impossible to me in these four hours as you can catch one fish each 15/20 minutes.

First time you play, play for the story as fast as you like. Second playthrough play for all side stuff.

You have time for two fishing mini games in one day. They last for around 4 hours "ingame time" each. (one before lunch and one in the afternoon) Find the "small pond" fishing spot in Bailu and Niaowu (maybe you need to do a side quest to unlock them). Always get the cheapest fish rod to save more money. The moment you start fishing, start pulling back left and right... So when you catch a fish, you'll be as close to the shore as possible and save time. Throw again and repeat. I'm sure you can do 25-30 fish for one fishing session.

Shenmue 3 is 7/10 game. Good but needs more budget. Shenmue I and II are 9/10 or 10/10. Many things are better in the first games, but we got what we got. Shenmue IV will be better if it come out.

Thank you for the answer, and yes, I already noticed that's the best place to fish, the small pond that you unlocked in the "Future dream" side quest, I'm already fishing around 26 fishes each day... what I didn't know is that you can fish twice at day, because I used to go always around noon, so I didn't have time for a second session. Now, catching 50/60 fishes per day, it's a different thing. It's still annoying because we're supposed to be playing Shenmue, not Fishing Simulator, but it's okay, with some effort it's not so impossible.

About the "Wild wild hoarder" achievement, I got it yesterday watching a guide from Shenmue Master, a video showing all the 191 herbs you need. Really useful

A tip if you are on PC - drop the graphic settings to low - the herbs show up more clearly.
