    Not a proper guide, but some tips to help you out with this achievement.

    - This achievement unlocked at around 65 Transcribes for me, there are well over 65 Transcribes available in the game.

    - For them to count, you must listen to the Transcribe. Navigate to (DATA > AUDIO LOGS) and listen to each audio log for at least a few seconds.

    - An easy way to find some Transcribes is by using a Security Terminal to track people. Most employees have a Transcribe on or near their body.

    Here is a list of all (known) Transcribes:

    godsandm0nstersThanks, helped me find my last couple. It unlocked at 65 for me.

    Gilbert PrimeDon't go nuts trying to find all of them because it definitely unlocks at 65 TranScribe Messages listened to. I still had several marked with the ! left on my list and hadn't even collected the final ones from Alex and Morgan yet.

    This is a guide to fully complete the game Prey. I will be showing you how to obtain all of the game's achievements and trophies, including the collectibles for: Press Sneak, Missing Persons, Psychometry, Dear Future Self, Black Market, and TranStar Gourmand. I'll also show you how to save and kill everyone (in separate playthroughs of course) for I and It, Do No Harm, and I and Thou. In the first playthrough, I'll be showing you all of the collectibles, all miscellaneous achievements, and completing the game with no kills and in the "most empathetic" way as well as using no Neuromods for the No Needles achievement/trophy.

    Afterward, I will show you where to find all of the crewmates on your second playthrough and how best to kill them for I and It and Awkward Ride Home.

    **Note that for Split Affinity, you will need to reload at the end of your first playthrough and use one Typhon neuromod, then complete the last few seconds again to get that to count as your first playthrough. Then, complete your second playthrough in a new campaign slot, and make sure that you only use human neuromods throughout that playthrough.

    For the I and It playthrough, be sure to keep saves outside of major areas so that you can reload if any NPCs die without you having personally killed them. There will be 42 people you need to kill, so keep checking your tracker to make sure that the count adds up.

    EliteAssassin13Copy and pasting the same guide onto every single achievement is lazy… thumbs down.
