Veteran Paleontologist (achievment)
I have a question about the achievement:

Veteran Paleontologist
You unlocked the Dossiers of each of ARK's initial Specimens!

This says almost nothing. that's fine, we have to figure out what the initial specimens are.
after taming a sabertooth I noticed he didnt give me a profile page meaning it is not one of the initial specimens.

I would like to know if this achievement is do-able with the current state of the game? because thus far NOBODY has achieved this achievement yet. A dev responce would be great with just a yes or no. :)

You have to be basically sitting on them when they tame..to get the achievement
Myaskol Jun 11, 2015 @ 5:48am 
I have 80% of all tames right now. can you confirm that the sabertooth also gives a profile page?

Yeah if you're not really close to them when they offically become yours, then you don't get the dossier screen.

guys it is not about receiving the profile page. it is about which profile pages there are.

Dodo
Coelacant
Dilophosaurus
parasaur
utaraptor
.... scorpius
triceratops
pternadon
brontosaurus
phiomia
ankylosaurus
Argentavis
Onychonycteris (Bat)
Carnotaurus
Piranha
sacrosuchus
Spider
TitanoBoa
T-Rex
Carbonemys

this is what I have so far.
the ones i still need to tame:

stegosaurus
megalodon
sabertooth ( tamed but didnt give a page )
mammoth

any others I miss?

For me it is the Dossier on the bottom right that will not unlock, I am assuming it is the Broodmother, but I've killed it and nothing pops (apart from the flag!)

it is the broodmother. you need to kill it yourself (final hit). not your dino!

you will get the achievment once you exit.

Correct, the final is the Broodmother. You have to kill her yourself. Good luck! :)

I heard you need to be the one that kills it. I think thats true since I killed it too with a group and only one of us got the dossier

July 20th... wow, that's one hell of a necro post there Smakkel...
