Alpha ascended the island, tek boots gloves and helm didnt unlock. Engram black

[bradpaden00]

Beat all the bosses on the island. Lots of tek unlocked. Pants and chest included but helm boots and gloves engrams are blacked out and unlearnable. Help please

[🦊 Hermit]

Are you playing solo, or with a tribe? If the latter, is it possible you missed the fights with the broodmother and megapithicus, and someone else opened up the tek cave for you to enter as a tribe?

[bradpaden00]

Was Solo for the island. Am currently on a friends server on extinction

[bradpaden00]

My implant has all three listed as well

[bradpaden00]

Looking again feeding trough hatchtframe stairs and many others black as well

[Lordbufu]

What difficulties are noted on your implant, are they all listed as Alpha ?
You could if you wanted, cheat your way true via console commands, if your not solo on someone else there server.

[bradpaden00]

All say alpha. Including overseer. Thought for a second I was gonna be able to use the s+ versions of the many building pieces that are missing cuz I could see them but nope. Forgot you have to know the original. What commands are you referring to? I beat them myself so I'm fine with commands

I think the easiest way would be 'summon' them, then 'kill' them for the credits.
All boss difficulties should be listed on that, with there commands.
The kill command is called just that 'kill', kills any creature/structure in your crosshair.

Old fashion way, should be obsolete.

I just did the ascend command. No change except for all the stuff I had on me dissapeared. Damn this game is a pain in my ass

[Lordbufu]

And if the above doesn't work, you can also do it manually with 'unlockengram', but i havn't had to do this since a long time, that seems like a lot more work honestly :P

That's likely because you ascend from the Overseer on the island, and that boss has no unlocks.

[bradpaden00]

I thought you couldn't even do the overseer without killing them. Ill try spawning them. Probably need to move back to the island for that right?

Ow i spy something better
The PlayerID turned me off at first, cause i never got that to work in the past.

But these should also work according to the wiki:

cheat DefeatBoss 0 "Broodmother Lystrix" 2
cheat DefeatBoss 0 "Megapithecus" 2

If that one does not work, there might be a mod in the way, or the unlock is broken.
Dont think you need to be on the island for it, but you might have to yes, even if its just to reduce the variables.

[bradpaden00]

I'll update once I try on the island. Nothing happened on extinction

[bradpaden00]

Still nothing. Guess I'll have to do the unlock engrams thing. Thanks for your help. Am I the only one that has trouble out of this game 50 % of the time I play?

[Lordbufu]

What a mess, testing this myself atm as well.
So the wiki has a mistake in its code it seems, sorry about that, bit silly why the example is wrong 🤷‍♂️

DefeatBoss 0 Uberspider 2; DefeatBoss 0 Megapithecus 2; DefeatBoss 0 Dragon 2

That one line of code will unlock every island Alpha fight tek engram, with potentially a bit of lag.

Edit: when tested i was on the island, did not test on other maps.

[bradpaden00]

thanks much. just quit out of frustration. give me a few minutes ill check
