Archivist Bugged

  • Posted on 12 December 24 at 16:49
    The Archivist achievement is bugged for me, even though I have 100 percent on everything. Waiting for a fix. There was a guide saying its bugged but it was deleted for some reason, so I thought it was worth bringing up here.

    Same. I really don’t want to have to play it again just to get that achievement.

    For me, I have two things left in Sukhothai, but in both instances there is nothing where the icon is - the photograph in the village where you previously took a picture of that fisherman guy, and a document icon where there is no document to pick up, in the Wat Mahathat camp -- keeping me getting the Archivist achievement and from 100%ing!

    I had the icon with nothing to pick up as well a few times. I guess I got lucky because it sorted itself out while I was revisiting different locations. I even picked up the same note a few times because the game wouldn't save it, even after the save icon came up. Is the document in your journal at all? I believe there are video guides up now that you can find the name of the document and reference it in your journal.

    I would go onto Bethesda forums with a picture of the issue and submit it to them so hopefully they can provide a fix to those who seem to run into that glitch

    just finished my second playthough making sure I get the two bugged for me from last time for only a different two to bug. I have updated my support chat with the developers on this not wasting a single second more.. very disappointed I have even contacted Xbox support now they said more reports they get they can push the developers to push out a update
    Cheers

    Make sure it's not a phantom marker. The marker books create markers for some stuff you already picked up and show markers for future stuff as well for which you need to progress further.

    Looking at the journal, check the X/X, which tells you if you are missing something or not on a given quest. If it displays e.g. 11/11 notes then ignore it, even if there is a phantom marker on the map for that quest.

    Phantom markers will not break the achievement, it's just a visual glitch caused by the bugged marker books that do not check properly on all collectibles if you already have picked it up.

    For saving on revisiting: if running to another location until the save icon appears (might wait for it save two times) doesn't work, try change your outfit and consume some edibles for more state change. Sometimes the save icon appears even though no saving is taking place for whatever reason.

    There seems to be some bugged check where it verified if it actually needs to save, and even when it decides not to, it displays the save icon.

    Had this in the Vatican, shortly after buying a book the save icon appears but it didn't save. So ran to the other part of the map, save icon showed again and all was good.

    Ok, if you have 100% on everything, like me and did not unlock the achievement, you could try this : Go to the fountain of confession puzzle in the vatican and take a picture around the entrance, its a Hint picture. I read it on a steam forum post and it worked for me too, crazy.

    Please tell me how if you 100% of the game or just beat it, how could you possibly go back to the fountain and take a picture and get a puzzle hint when you already completed the puzzle? Answer You can't do that. I've seen you say this message on a bunch of forms and you can't do that. You cannot go back to a puzzle you already completed and take a picture of it to get a hint. Makes me think you not only didn't 100% the game but you didn't even beat it yet.

    Actually you can as many people are confirming his worked for them too. Dont ask me how as the game is full of bugs.
    And i did complete the game, as i got 1000/1000 after i read some forum post on steam so i tried it and it worked for me as the entrance of the fountain gave me a picture op, even though nothing shows on the map. So it does work but maybe your missing someting else.

    You don’t even need 100% of everything. I was missing Fried Egg still but taking the hint photo opted my achievement.

    In one of the many forum posts regarding this bugged achievement...someone suggested possibly other hint photos could work. They were correct. If you are in the vatican and the fountain is not working for you like it wouldn't for me...go to tower V and look for the sacred wounds mural. I had some hint photos to take here and achievement popped. Other areas I know that had hint photos was the blessed pearl mission in the hidden temple so try there as well. You're welcome and Happy Holidays. Hope it helps someone

    This worked for me thanks so much! I took the hint photo of the fountain this morning and it didn't pop my achievement. Saw your post and just went and took the hint photo of the sacred wounds and my achievement popped!
  • Posted on 17 December 24 at 22:04
    Was hoping today's patch fixed it, also that one of these solutions would work. Sacred Wounds was available for me but taking the picture did nothing. The note I seem to be missing is De Vito's Letter, which I likely would have gotten earlier in the game and have gone back to see if it's still there but it's not.

    Also Gina is still bugged in Sukhothai. Can't finish the radio frequencies either.

    Very, very frustrating. I was close to the end of the game and was gonna praise the hell out of it for having no game breaking bugs but these last two achievements are killing me.

    This worked for me with Vatican Tower V as the fountain bugged my game and crashed it so try other ones if the obvious ones don't work
