Help - Tales From The Eridian Slab
So I've got all the achievements, except this one. I've double and triple checked every eridian slab with my character and I've hit the one in Tannis place in Sanctuary at least 100 times by now. I just can't find any more advice by googling it.

Do any one you know something I can do about it. Any kind of help would be appreciated. Maybe someone who actually got the achievement can tell me how they got it? I am really out of ideas at this point and it's really depressing that this is the only thing keeping me from 100%ing this game since it's obviously bugged.

Thank you!

You could try downloading a save game, loading the character, and then deciphering 2 slabs. Do Tannis's lab first, then any other. Don't overwrite your own characters (saves)!

Try checking the map completion stats again, you might be missing something if not bugged.

I've checked every map's completion stats, checked if they are all visible on the map and I've hovered over them to see if any of them still got their rewards. I've also checked back with guides to make sure that I haven't missed any. Additionaly I've visited all of them 3 times now to check if any of them are scannable again for some reason.

Sounds like its just bugged, go scan the slab at Tannis’s infirmary a few times.

EDIT: If doesn't work, check the stats again: Map Galaxy View > Press R.
See if it says 30/30

Same thing happened to me. Pressing the R key on the keyboard in global, planet and zone map view showed all writings completed but no achievement badge.
30 out of 30 discovered.
Nothing worked.
That encouraged me to start a new character.
When it came time to interact with the stone in the lab with the new character I did that and then one more on a planet and the achievement popped.
Seems I needed 31 or 32 out of 30 depending on if you need the one in the lab to count towards the total.
I'm quite enjoying playing Zane with the Guardian points carried over from the original character, so not all bad.

If you ever have achievement issues, there are third party programs that let you modify your achievements.
do you mean SAM?
Invghost Jun 20, 2021 @ 12:00am 
Yep, thats the one. I never had to use it on this game, but I did need to use it on Dying Light's Hellpoint DLC.
yes works with this game but it would be better if you didn't have to use something at all. the devs have to fix it for all the other people who have problems with it. sorry for my bad english

Oof, getting the devs to do anything to improve their game is a joke. At this point it gets updates in the form of giving boss enemies 20X hp and calling it a day.

Yea I've read that some achievements are bugged when you play in Co-Op and I feared that playing the game again with a new char might be the only solution for me.

Thanks, I didn't know that but I'd rather not use any third party software.

Sadly this is too true, everything just feels like a cheap cashgrab by now. Luckily I got the Season Pass 2 super cheap. It literally adds nothing to the game but at least I could get the last few achievements that way. Well, except the Eridian Slab one..
I am not into these ARchivements... but if you feel a Game Bug for something that should normal work for other Players, in other Games, it helped that i verify the Game Data. After that check some bad files got new downloaded and Archivements for example worked. Maybe a Plan B?

THANK YOU so so much. I loaded up the save file you provided and as soon as I scanned the first Eridian Slab in the Droughts the achievement popped. I really expected having to visit all 30 again but I guess I was even more pleased with this result. Though I would have never expected it and can't really imagine why it worked this way. Something about this achievement is super broken, let's see if they ever get to fix it in the future.

Anyway, thank you a lot again!
