New World Settler

Establish five camps.

There are 15 camps, distributed over the 5 main maps. 10 of those are valid for this achievement. These being all the camps, which spots you have to discover yourself on the map, which then need to be unlocked through the resource center. Just like the one in the Ancient Forest, where you discovered your first Kulu-Ya-Ku. Just walk around the maps and you’ll find the others eventually. Or just join another player, who already unlocked the “hidden” ones, and teleport to them through the map. Once you “bought” the fifth camp at the resource center, this achievement is yours.

• 4 camps in Ancient Forest and Wildspire Waste.
• 2 camps in Coral Highlands and Rotten Vale.
• 3 camps in Elder’s Recess.

Secret Achievements / Trophies

Bristles for All

Capture a stiff, bristly creature.

Being almost identical to the last achievement, you need to find the “Bristly Crake” in one of the following 2 zones:

• Rotten Vale – sector 15, riding the back of the Mosswine.
• Elder’s Recess – sector 5 and 11, riding the back of Gastodon.

Be aware, that it’ll flee immediately, once you come “near” it. Meaning some 15 meters or so. Once it spotted you, it is only seconds away from disappearing. So be sure to use the Ghillie Mantle, when looking for it.

Rainbow Bright

Capture a creature that glitters like a rainbow.

The “Prism Hercudrome” you need for this, can be found at every map:

• Ancient Forest – sector 1, on the trunk of a tree overlooking the beach in the southeast, close to several flower beds.
• Wildspire Waste – sector 10, on the trunk of a dead tree with a wedge beetle, located on the flat rocks/plateaus.
• Coral Highlands – sector 11, on the trunk of a giant yellow-green coral (next to some pink coral) in the north. From the Ropelift in the sector, it is directly ahead.
• Rotten Vale – sector 11, on a large protruding rib bone. From Campsite 11, climb the wall of vines on the left, jump down from the ledge next to a Mandragora mushroom, and the rib bone will be directly ahead, on the left.
• Elder’s Recess – sector 3, on a crystal outcropping on the northern edge that overlooks the massive bright crystal core, next to a latchberry.

Fextralife, the website I’ve copied the above descriptions from, also states, that the Prism Hercudrome can only be found at dawn and dusk.

Unlike the birds of the above 2 achievements, the Prism Hercudrome won’t flee. So this one is an easy catch.

Snuggles for All

Capture a fluffy, snuggly creature.

The small white bird you need for this, named “Downy Crake” can be located at several spots:

• Ancient Forst – sector 1 and 8, riding the back of Aptonoth.
• Wildspire Waste – secor 1, 4 and 8, riding the back of Apceros.

Be aware, that they’ll flee immediately, once you come “near” them. Meaning some 15 meters or so. Once they spotted you, they are only seconds away from disappearing. So be sure to use the Ghillie Mantle (item you’ll unlock during the course of the story), when looking for them.

Hint: I’ve only seen them 4 times in all my time playing the PS4 version, each time during the day.

A Living Fossil

Capture a fish known as “the living fossil.”

You can find the wanted fish, called “Petricanth”, at 2 locations:

• Rotten Vale – sector 15.
• Elder’s Recess – sector 8 (camp).

He’s at the leftmost reachable spot of the seas in both locations.

Note: He’ll most likely ignore the “fodder” bait. You need to find yourself a “Baitbug”. One of those is also located in Rotten Vale sector 15, but you can find them on dozens locations on each map.
