Note: Check the update at the bottom - thanks @PunkRawkSoldier!

I tried loads of methods to get this to pop, none successful...

I finally got it but it was a weird way **Confirmed as working**. I tried about 10 times with only the AbAscend code, then with only the Ascend code, neither worked. It finally popped when my new character did AbAscend, then Ascend following that.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

start new character
playercommand AbAscend3
Skip the credits and respawn
addexperience 1000000000000 1 0

apply all points, this took me to level 117

I then quit out of the game, then restarted my xbox (may not be necessary but this is the exact procedure I followed) **confirmed by Wyyvern that restart not necessary**

reload your now level 117 character

playercommand Ascend3
Skip the credits and respawn
addexperience 1000000000000 1 0

this gave me 17 more points and took me to level 134, achievement then unlocked.

Hope this helps anyone who was stuck and frustrated like I was!

================================================
Edit: Thanks to PunkRawkSoldier for the update!

"I wasn’t able to get this to pop in Survival Evolved. I switched to Primitive Plus Official and followed the first part of your walkthrough (start new character / playercommand AbAscend3 / Skip the credits and respawn /
addexperience 1000000000000 1 0 / apply all points, this took me to level 117) and it popped straight away at level 120.

Maybe add it to your solution for anyone that is struggling to get it like I was?"

I also had to play this in the cloud to get it to work with the method from @PunkRawkSolider

This one annoyed me more than it should have. Go to prime plus official and make sure you have admin logging and show creative mode on. Then create a new for the island story ark. Press LB+RB+X+Y in the pause menu. Then go into the admin menu that is now in the pause menu and type in Gmbuff and then you press admin command to run it and then unpause the game and level up your character until you get the achievement.

Credit for this solution belongs to gaiainruin for posting in a comment on another solution. They stated it worked on the PS4 but couldn't guarantee it on the One. I simply tried it out and it worked perfectly. Their solution is as follows:

1. Load up the Island Map
2. I f it's a fresh game, make sure it saves at least once otherwise it will send you on a loop to create a new character and it won't work
3. Use the command cheat playercommand AbAscend3 (this is the Aberration Ascension command, make sure to capitalize where I have)
4. Skip end credits, reload Island Map and respawn at a random area
5. Use the command cheat addexperience 1000000000000 1 0
6. Go into your player menu and add the levels into something random (I just used weight)
7. It will only take you up to level 115 however the trophy will still unlock

I had previously reached level 115 through the Ascend commands, and this solution brought me to the cap of 130. I'm not sure if you can unlock this at 115 using only the Aberration code or not, but regardless this allows you to skip past the paywall and reach the new cap of 130 without buying the Aberration DLC.

Either work really hard crafting narcotics and shredding wood with bonus xp weekends and after finding explorer notes. Turning wood into thatch in an Industrial Grinder is the easiest way as you get 6xp per piece of wood (600xp a stack) on a 1.5x weekend. If you craft a brew of enlightenment or find an explorer note then you will get double that, so 3x the experience points and 12xp per piece of wood (or 1,200xp per stack). Remember, tribemates that are nearby get half of the xp you are earning, so do crafting parties! I like to stock up on many piles of wood, grab some explorer notes, and craft away.

Or just go to single player, use the command "addexperience 9999999 0 0" and choose your stats until you are level 100. There are two ascensions, one from the Island and one from Aberration. Aberration's should not matter as DLC does not impact achievements. If the achievement is meant to be unlocked at 115 then use the command "playercommand Ascension3" followed by the experience command again.

Same as @ItsNotBryan, tried repeatedly, won't unlock.

It still works, follow the guide, but you have to do the addexperience 1000000000000 1 0 twice. The first time it takes you to level 117, the second time it takes you to 135. I guess they increased the max level in the recent update.

This doesn't work anymore - not sure if it has anything to do with the Extinction DLC they just released...
