Dino dossier

The dossier has been updated. You no longer need to tame or kill everything that moves to get your dossier entries. Now it's a scavenger around the map to find explorer note caches which give you the dossier entry and a 10 minute XP boost when approached. The boost also stacks, so if you find multiple caches quickly you can get hours of XP boost. The note caches appear to be static and give the same entry for everyone.

anyone having a problem with achatina? Im at the spot for it but there is no box to get the dossiers so i think im scrwed up off the trophy

 

This dossier and the moschops one are not in the game yet (but weirdly the Megalosaurus one is) There are also only 4 Mei Yin, Rockwell and Nerva notes instead of the 7 shown on the Wiki. They were patched in on the PC version but not yet arrived for PS4 and Xbox.

How exactly are people getting this trophy?

 

Using an admin command to teleport to all of the dossier entries, exiting the game and re-entering every 3/4 to minimize crashes and glitches, then finishing off with the three boss entries.

 

Some people are reporting that it can take up to 2 hours after obtaining the last one for the trophy to pop in game, however on my recent successful attempt it popped immediately for me after obtaining the dragon dossier.

Teleporting?? Hmm worth a shot with the artifacts no? What are the admin commands for Teleporting?

It won't necessarily work with the artifacts because of the 9th one being missing from the game.

 

For the Veteran Paleontologist trophy, the teleport admin commands can be found at the bottom of this website: ARK Position List - FEARIUN You may need to use cheat ghost for a couple of the cave ones as I ended up falling through the world map. Exit and re-enter the game every 3/4 entries to minimize crashes.

 

Finish up by killing the bosses - do this in the arenas as sometimes the dossiers won't unlock outside of them. You can use cheat kill command and it will still unlock the dossier. For me the trophy popped immediately after killing the dragon but a couple of other people have reported having to wait in game for 2 hours for it to unlock.

Just tried this method and no trophy immediately. Going to leave it on to see if it pops over time. Last thing I need.

 

EDIT: do I also need the manticore?

No. Manticore is scorched earth dlc only.

 

Also rach, are the notes required too or just the dossiers?

Guys I don't understand, I followed that list for the notes but it doesn't have all of the Helena notes, only 7 (of which I could only get a few to work). How do you add all dinosaur dossiers? How on earth do you find all of the notes? I can't seem to find a way to fill all of the notes in and it's driving me nuts! Am I missing something?

The notes are required. There are currently only 4 of each of the notes in the game at the moment (Helena, Mei Yin, Rockwell and Nerva) but I believe there is a patch due to come out on Monday which adds all the extra content that PC and Xbox have, so the number of notes will increase to 7.

 

The patch should also fix the crashing issue when collecting the dossiers.

Has anyone got the Mammoth? It keeps spawning me in a cave and dropping me directly in to water, I can't find it anywhere! I've triple, quadruple checked the coordinates but I just can't see it

 

Use the ghost command before spawning into that cave. That should help with the dropping issue.

I've followed all the Notes locations and got them all except for the first 7 Helena Notes. They weren't on the guide for some reason? I'm guessing that they're added through an update pr something. I really would like to know their exact locations by that Teleportation command.

Okay I have all but those 7. Do I need to get all Helena notes to get the trophy? I already beat the 3 bosses and I don't have the Vet Paleo trophy yet. Do I have to do anything in Scorched Earth?

 

Yes you will need those Helena notes to get the trophy. And no, you don't have to do anything in Scorched Earth.
