All 12 Cactus Locations in Far Far West — Secret Mission Guide
Complete guide to finding all 12 cactuses in Far Far West. Map locations for every parent-child pair, tips for efficient completion, and what to look for when searching.
Hello, everyone. Today we're going over where to find all 12 cactuses in Far Far West. This is one of the secret missions in the game, and it's a bit of a trek — but totally worth it.
How the Cactus Mission Works
Here's the deal: there are 12 cactuses total, but they come in 6 pairs — each pair has a parent and a child. Your job is to pick up each child cactus and carry it to its matching parent.
Important rules:
- You cannot ride your horse while carrying a child cactus — it's all on foot
- The child gives you a vague hint about where the parent is, but honestly it's not very helpful
- With a team of four splitting the work, you can knock this out pretty quickly
- Solo? It's going to take a while. Bring patience.

What to Look For
Finding the Child Cactus
Child cactuses are small and can be easy to miss. Look for them on elevated terrain, near rocks, or on cliff edges. When you get close, you'll see the interact prompt.
Finding the Parent Cactus
Parent cactuses have a purple glow around them, which makes them easier to spot once you're in the right area. When you deliver the child, you'll get a confirmation message.
Tips for Completing This Efficiently
| Tip | Details |
|---|---|
| Team of 4 | Split up and each person grabs a child — fastest method |
| Do it early | Start at the beginning of a mission before enemies ramp up |
| Mark your map | Pause the video at 0:40 and screenshot the map locations |
| Watch for purple | Parent cactuses glow purple — scan the horizon |
| No horse | You CANNOT mount while carrying — use movement spells instead |
