Can't talk to Horizon Forbidden West Herbalist? Check this

Horizon Forbidden West was just released. As many players claimed, it is undoubtedly one of the greatest masterpieces when it comes to video gaming, but keep in mind you can play it only on PlayStation.

Even if it comes up with tons of incredible features and impressive stories, it seems like some users are struggling with irritating situations.

Thus, they claimed that they can’t talk to the Herbalist and this is what one user had to say about the situation:

Can’t speak to the Herbalist or the Armorer in Chainscrape.

I just started this area and can’t speak to either of them for some reason. Is that normal? Or can you speak to them from the start? Any advice is appreciated!

Keep in mind that it is not a game-related issue and you should carefully verify what we and other worldwide users found

How can I talk to the Herbalist from Horizon Forbidden West?

According to some worldwide gamers, you’ll only have to play a bit more of the story and all of its amazing features will open up.

So, these are the three missions you have to complete before talking to the Herbalist:

  • Gather Scarletstems 0/3
  • Go to Plainsong
  • Go to Riverhymn

It seems like you’ll also need to clear out the Bristlebacks first. The Bristlebacks is a new machine that can be used to farm Metal Shards.

In case you’ve completed all the mentioned missions, but you’re still unable to speak to the Herbalist, it might be a game glitch.

So, until we come up with some specialized fixes, you’ll probably need to restart or reinstall the game.

In conclusion, this is all you have to know about the reasons why you can’t talk to the Herbalist from Horizon Forbidden West.

Also, keep in mind that in larger settlements, like those with a Stitcher and Herbalist, Side Quests markers may not show up on the map until you’re actually in or near the settlement itself.

In order to get a smooth and complete Horizon Forbidden West experience on your PlayStation, you should constantly update your device.

However, some users reported encountering the PS4 system software update error. If you also face this one, try our dedicated solutions to fix it.
