Photographing the four base-game monsters with the Tripod

Bring all four monster pictures to Monster Spotting at the Oaklaville hotel. Check that you receive the Monster Mask as well.

Final compendium and pet-achievement checks

Check the 54 ordinary base-game animal rows, four monster rows and 20 additional-region rows separately. Collect them all requires the entire base-game compendium; it does not unlock merely by photographing the seabed creatures.

Check the named pets Oskar, Sero, Fia, Fras, Willemijn, Portillo, Mikee, Nariko and Teddy in their regions. Separately photograph the beach dog from A Lost Dog, pet it and return it to the owner. We distinguish names from the game's registration entries rather than inflating an unverified total.

For the moving Snow Bird, leave and re-enter the area to reset it. Repeat the musical performance for King Fish. Tato Ski repeatedly emerges from the summit door.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q1 Why isn't Cosmo Deer there? ▼
A

Free the wizard from the ice, photograph all six Cubes and report at the tower. Photograph Cosmo Deer inside the portal that opens.

Q2 Why can't I find a living Tato King? ▼
A

Its compendium entry comes from photographing the completed sliding-puzzle board revealed by extinguishing the hidden room's torches. You are not looking for an animal walking around.
