    To complete this achievement, you'll need to collect all land and air peyote plants located across the map.

    To find the locations of said plants, I recommend the following video from GTA Series Videos:


    The whole processes can take anything between one and three hours.

    Note: if a plant is missing, dying once should resolve the problem, but don't explode any dinghys near the locations, they will keep the area loaded and consequently the plant will not reappear. (this, which I believe is a glitch, happened to me three times in the X/S version).

    JSA 345Got 3 animals left to unlock, I've done most of the Peyote Plants on old gen (PS4) then transferred my progress over to Xbox Series S. The animals I have left to unlock are Cormorant, Shepherd and Wild Animal. I followed the video from GTA Series Videos but the ones where he gets those animals, the peyote plants are not spawning for me so if anyone on Xbox Series can help me out with this please. Would be greatly appreciated.

    MC MokkasynYou don't need all peyote plants, you only need 21 land & air plants as you cannot use any underwater animals in the Director Mode.

    KGI KlikoNLFor me the game says that there are 22 animals I can use in Director Mode.

    Edit: It unlock after going into director mode and then picked one of the animals to walk around. So Wild Animal is not needed, even it can be used in Director Mode.
