As the title implies this is effectively the 100% completion achievement. Kinda.
Needed for completion includes:9 Tools - Focus potion, Thunderbrew potion, Chinese chomping cabbage, Erudus potion, Invisibility potion, Mandrake, Maxima potion, Venomous Tentacula and Wiggenweld Potion.
These will appear in your collection menu when you find them in game or purchase them from a merchant but for them to count towards your completion you must own the recipe or Seeds for these items which are purchased respectively from J.Pippin's potions and Dogweed and Deathcap in Hogsmeade. You'll know you own them when you have a little tick in the bottom left corner of the icon. 150 Revelio pagesOnly pages that you must use revelio to reveal count towards this collection, Moth mirrors, flying pages, dragon braziers etc. are not needed for this but I recommend grabbing the ones you see along the way as it will help top off your Field guide challenge as there are only 90 Revelio pages in Hogwarts. And 30 in Hogsmeade. I will show all pages and named locations so you can narrow down the ones you're missing.
Hogsmeade 30 pagesHogwarts 90 PagesHighlands 30 pages67 EnemiesThese, for the most, will be encountered during normal play.. none are missable. Generic enemies and named enemies both count. If you're missing any zoom out on the map and navigate throughout each region checking on the top right while hovering over a region which areas you have missed an 'Infamous foe' travel to this area, mount your broom then use Revelio, check any Skull you see as this indicates there is an infamous foe in these areas whether it was defeated or not and cycle through until you find any you are missing.
88/78? AppearancesThese are unlocked via your Challenges and Quests.. Complete all of both and you will have these completed. 2 outfits are linked to exploration, I believe via the Battle arenas. Additional content pieces I'm uncertain but I would assume the 10 dlc outfit pieces are not necessary to complete this collection.
13 BeastsDiricawl, Fwooper, Purple toad, Graphorn, Hippogriff, Jabberknoll, Kneazle, Mooncalf, Niffler, Phoenix, Puffskein, Thestrel and Unicorn.
These can be found throughout the Highlands in dens, some will be found during either the story or side/relationship quests. Whatever you're still missing will be very easy to track down via the map.
13 Brooms4 Brooms will be related to your challenge to Pop balloons spread throughout the Highlands. I believe 5 Brooms come from Sprintwiches In Hogsmeade. The other 4 are spread throughout the Highlands.
Leopold Babcocke - Northfield Big
Arn - Hogwarts valley
Priya Treadwell - South sea Bog
Rohan Prakash - Cragcroftshire
75 TraitsTraits are found in the chest(s) inside bandit camps, very easy to find using Revelio while on your broom. Keep this in mind while doing your merlin trails and it will be done passively.
42 Wand HandlesWand handles are found in collection chests in Hogsmeade, Hogwarts and the Highlands. Collection chests are gold and are generally smaller then normal chests, they also have a map icon when you get close. You must loot all collection chests in all areas for this collection as some will contain Spellcrafts which are also needed for a seperate collection too.
16 Ingredients This should again come passively if you're looting Dead enemies and grabbing any plants you see while in the move. None are particularly obscure and can be purchased from merchants should you miss any.
ConjurationsThis one was my least favourite by far. You must purchase all blueprints from Tomes and scrolls which can get expensive. Many others are linked to quests and challenges so they come passively doing other collections. Exploration Spellcrafts are found again in collection chests but not all of them. Once you get far enough into your story you will unlock 4 Vivariums for your animals and each has 3 collection chests spread around. Any remaining Conjurations you need will be found via following butterflies that are spread throughout the Highlands.
Edit: Butterflies are supposedly static and a vague map is made. Purely for ease of reading I'll add it here but credit for finding it goes to
RiskyWhy (guide below) and
Jordoncoops' post via Reddit for creating ithttps://preview.redd.it/si8rjcgflnha1.jpeg?width=216&cro...One butterfly is unmarked to the right of Hogsmeade on your map in Hogsmeade Valley.
Challenges/Side quests I don't believe these relate to this achievement directly but due to collection rewards being received from completing some of these challenges You will have to complete most of these to 100% either way. From my quest list there are a total of 56 side quests that are very easy to locate via Revelio on the broom, most of which are in towns or marked very clearly. One potential bug I found was when I hit 98% Good Samaritan with zero quests to be found after several rotations of the map. After wasting several hours I figured out Sacking Selwyn did not enter my quest journal and was still waiting to be turned in. I'm unsure if this is because I completed the objective before accepting the quest or another reason but once I spoke to Hyacinth Oliver at Cragcroft It gave me the achievement.
Anything Inaccurate or missing please let me know, this was written from my understanding as it's a brand new release. Thanks
