A Plague Tale Requiem has 12 Hugo’s Herbarium Locations (5 Flowers, 7 Feathers). Finding all Herbaria unlocks the Herbalist and Ornithologist trophy or achievement. They are called Flowers and Feathers in the trophy list but in-game they are listed as “Hugo’s Herbarium”. The 12 total entries are split up into the 5 Flowers and the 7 Feathers.
None of Hugo’s Herbarium entries are missable. You can still get all of them via Chapter Select after the story or in New Game+. Everything is carried over into New Game+. You can keep track of them in the Codex and via the Collectible Counter in Chapter Select. They all have unique names so it’s easy to figure out which ones you still need.
