The quest is such a grind...But I'm gonna be honest, I like Algernon. He's a bit hoity-toity, but he's sincere enough, and shows Arthur plenty of respect and warmth despite Arthur obviously being kind of a pleb, I can't help but find him endearing.

at least Arthur has found a piece of Tahiti

I remember spending hours upon hours over several weeks searching for the plumes and orchids and finally getting this pistol and then....never using it

Flowers for Algernon.  It’s a book we read in High School.

This is why I preferred Arthur, he could actually hold a conversation. With John he can barely form 2 full sentences when interacting with NPCs.

After my 2nd playthrough I learned to start collecting the stuff for this guy right away! Especially the plumes! You open this quest and suddenly them birds go extinct! Lol

"She left me for a postman" gets me every time! 😂😂😂

He learned a very valuable lesson. The Postman Always Rings Twice.

The trick is to start stocking up early. You see one of them birds. Kill it! You see an orchid, pick it. Then by the time you get to chapter 5, you will already have most of what is required.

Dam you Rockstar for abandoning this classic game!!!!

Unlike most, I really enjoyed this side mission. I like grinding games and attempting to find everything possible.

Algernon was a real one and his office is magnificent.

This man probably single handedly put a few rare orchid species into extinction

i liked that hat that he made for Arthur

Missions like this are why RDR2 is THE best video game ever made.  There is nothing better than the story and character interactions.  The grinding for materials is a bit tedious, but the payoff in the cut scenes is brilliant.   Thanks for postng this.  I never did these missions for exactly this grind

The revolver totally syck, but the hat is a must have. Damn quest...

i got like 600 hours and i never knew you get a gun out of this

If i had known there was a gun at the end of all that, I would have gone through it.

Kind of liked the hat though...
A gun and a hat, after all that chat. And what? No cat?
I love this game, dispite it's flawes. All good games have them, bare and grin...

You want a corsette?
No i ride alot n the whale bone might stick in!! Just laughed most of this part during gameplay(i had also been awake for almost 2 days so might be that also??) But its a funny part in the game...i mean arthur sitting down drinking TEA and talking about these little NYMPHS from belgium(didnt know what it was until i played this game) so know i have 100s of Nymphs in my home LOL!!  so was it just me seeing the funny in this part n this moment of the game???

Thanks 4 video
