Monak Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 As i understand, to obtian the master zoologist trophy one must domesticate/tame All creatures of the ark - only those that can be domesticated/tamed. What i do not understand is whether or not one is required to have the dossiers prior to taming - dossier serving/functioning as ingame check list in obtaining the trophy. Note: in singleplayer i have used creature spawn commands three times, (Dotame) first attempt-no trophy, (forcetame) second attempt - no trophy, thrid attempt i used normal taming methods after creature spawn - resorting to using admin commands to spawn resorces necessary to tame - no trophy.

Dossiers are now counted as Explorer Notes, it is not necessary to have the Dossiers to unlock the achievement. Instead there are separate indicators for both. On each creature you'll have one of the following; Outline Highlighted w/ Blue = Dossier Obtained Circle at the top right of the portrait with a checkmark = Creature Tamed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monak Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Its obvious that i am missing a few tames, now with the inclusion of the tek rapter im going to retry each of the 3 methods i stated above though this time im gonna list each creature so to be sure im not missing any, also ive read that one must use the same character if i travel to a different ark while in single player. I wanna complete this before Extinction given the likelyhood of altered creature versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to get the dossier for the archievment to unlock. But, achievments in SP are broken. I could not get the first day survival trophy (despite spending days without dying), or the map explorer (despite having all the map discovered) ...

Monak Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 To obtain the master zoologist trophy. First yes if done in single player (offline) it will carry over as long as if done on the same gamertag/psn Second it is only achievable on the island. All trophy requirements that say "the ark" is talking about the island. So yes only those creatures tamable on the island are only what's necessary/prior extinction which I have to assume is still only done.on the island and as well only those creatures native/spawn to the island must be tamable and tamed in order to achieve master zoologist. Yes if done in single player all one has to do is spawn in (wild) all creatures of the Ark(island) and then use "dotame" command on each. You should pay particular close to which creatures have been tamed given the dossiers are not need but help. Yes should have them but totally not required, the easiest way would be in single player cheating, now if you do go this route it is best that you do not spawn all of them and then tame you should take each as you go (yes will take longer) but it has been my experience after having done this at 12 different attempts to obtain the master zoologist trophy it is best and wise that you spawn each and tame each as you. The best place on the island to do this is one the south west beaches near red. Why? Simply because if need be you can use the terminal at the obelisk to transfer each out without much effort if wanted other obelisk locations have far to many threats to deal with while trying to maintain what was and what was not tamed. As per a list, not required simply spawn in and tame all creatures from all arks(if spawn /dotame each) is to redundant. Organize your tame order alphabetically and tame each creature of the same alphabetical starting letter, Doing it this way will allow you to kill creatures if necessary if the game begins to lag, due to normal spawns in the spawn bubble and as well the ones your spawning in. To prevent lose due to blue screen it is best to save after each alphabetical block has been tamed save again after killing if done so. Anymore questions or help in getting master zoologist -psn Wolfflacon Currently playing in cluster - rag367 I will be building a tribe and it will be hosted here in on survive the ark page to assist and as well to play as a tribe. *Tek creatures do not count unless since changed with the inclusion of extinction* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ababagogy Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Do you need to raise reapers, rock drakes and wyverns to get the achievement? What about things that don’t really count as Dino’s, like the enforcer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castlerock Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Does it include the tek dinos that can be found on the island like the tek raptorNo, the normal raptor will do.

SomDustin Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Do you have to have all the tames at one time or can some have died along the way? Is this for Taming and Owning all the Creatures at once or is it for just having tamed 1 of every creature on the Island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castlerock Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 As long as u tamed them before it will be recorded even if they die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
