I have one less tutorial and 2 more archive.

I suspect you might miss one in the gauntlet arena and I missed one in mayors office in my first playthrough. I have no clue which tutorial I miss

[Suporex]

I am not sure it is broken on PC as I have seen people that have it.
But on PS5 it is definitely broken with the achievement for meeting every enemy

[Suporex]

I was curious and I checked mine:
Factions 10
Enemies 43
People 49 (-2)
Heroes 5
Locations 32
World 9
Treasure 17
Tutorials 32 (-2) - weird
Archive 72

People thing makes me wonder as well as I was checking every piece of every map and talking to anyone I met. Did all side quests and so on...
Maybe we should start making lists somewhere.

[Suporex]

Can you guys cross-check and showcase differences?

People and archive is straight forward, but how to trigger tutorials? who knows?
[EDIT[ OMG my oldest save is just after Gauntlet. I did it in one go so I missed that note and we can't enter Gauntlet after it is done. Why? Icon for location is there. 505 please allow us to enter...

I think, probably, you have to take damage to trigger the turorial at the start... it's just a guess.

I'm not close to that part so I don't know what it is.

I had finished Bha Mahdi trial quest but had to stop playing, I almost lost 1 hour of recorded gameplay last night because OBS Studio stopped working properly and the hotkeys didn't work anymore. Luckily I then figured out how to convert and save it on PC.

Hello, you miss the following entries:

People:
Pete "Tools" Mccaffrey - Sedentary in a building near the mineshaft entrance.
By my count you got 50 entries.

Tutorials:
Sharded Items
Healing
Triggerty for me in fights after getting the backpack.

Archive:
Loading Dock: Green Goo
I missed the gauntlett archiv.

[King_Seda]

I'm going through the game again, planning on cataloging all the Codex entries. I noticed that there is (at least) one Codex Entry with odd behavior.

It's "Edizen's Experiments", found in Old Town Road, in the building near the Old Ironsides optional boss (and the Miasma Vortex that teaches you Transmuter). This codex entry doesn't seem to appear in the Archive after you pick it up. Is this a bug?

I will continue to play through the game, but definitely wanted to point that out.

[Cardew_78]

Looks like a bug. Returned to the area and must have already picked it up, but also don't got it in my archives.

I checked everything in Sedentary and I can't find this guy anywhere. I wonder if conversation with him is only available during certain parts of main quest.

Has to be a bug, I have checked on 2 of my playthroughs and I have picked this up and it is not in neither of my codex achives for Old Town Road (please be aware I am on PS5)

Returned to him, from a save before entering the first factory, and could not longer talk to him.
He had a 3 point conversation at one point after returning from a quest (first trip to gator zone?) back to sedentary. He even gave me an item.
Later he gave me only automatic responses, but i could still talk to him before crossing the first miasma wall.

When you enter sedentary from mineshaft a, go straight forward until just before the first gate. He is in the building to the left. The man with the hat standing at the 4 connected tables.

I missed this guy on my first playthrough too. He shows up in a shed-like building attached to the Mine Office.

It looks like he appears when you return from Gator Zone for the first time, and it also seems by the end of the game (before the Point-of-no-Return), you can no longer talk to him. He's there, at a table, but there's no speech bubble near him. So, it looks like he is a missable entry in the codex for People.

[King_Seda]

Where is Zarrin 27 btw? I missed him on my first playthrough. Keeping an eye out on my second.
