100% Achievements Guide

This is a guide for getting all achievements for Sapphire Safari.

Tips & Tricks

These tips will make your journey towards unlocking all achievements smoother.

General

• As long as you aren't caught off guard, you can outrun any predator if they spot you.
  
• Be sure to sneak frequently. If a mon becomes too aware of your presence, they will stop what they're doing and you will loose good photo opportunities.
  
• All photos you submit are saved on your computer and can be accessed outside of the game in %LOCALAPPDATA%\SapphireSafari\Saved\Photos, selecting the folder for your save, and opening the Gallery folder.

Taking Photos

• Unlock all beacons as soon as possible so you can submit photos out in the field.
  
• Make sure to submit photos in the field and submit often so you don't lose good shots (hold the submit button). You don't need to stack up to 10 photos and risk losing some.
  
• If you found a spot that can give you a good A or S rank photo, instead of taking multiple photos at once, take and submit photos one-by-one so you can cover more submissions from a single scene.
  
• If a mon is caught by a plant or is sleeping, you can walk up and take very close photos without worrying about alerting it.
  
• Tips for taking better photos:
  
  • Take photos from the knees up.
    
  • Take photos when the mons are facing you.
    
  • Wait for full camera focus.
    
  • Get as close as possible (without alerting them).
    
  • Time your photos for when the Perfect Photo (PP) icon appears.

Pink Moon Nights

• Use the Pink Moon Nights to take a lot of good photos for the Monpedia and Monsutra.
  
• You can repeatedly skip time to Night at the Campsite until you come across a Pink Moon Night. This usually takes about 4 skips.

General Achievements

First Time Camper

Find and activate your first Campsite.
You will get this pretty quickly by following the story.

Strictly Botanical

Investigated the Flora too closely
Walk up to any plant that has it's vine out.

Perfect Ranked Skills

Take a photo of the highest quality
Take a photo that receives a grade of S+. You should get this one naturally through the course of getting all of the other achievements. It is currently pretty easy to get S+ shots for mons that are sleeping or caught in a plant.

Three's Company

Participate in a Poly Act
Unlock any position in the Monsutra that involves 3 participants. Become friendly with any species so you can interact with them by holding the action button, then select the poly position of your choice.

Pink Moon Shuffle

Leave camp during the Pink Moon Night and remain untouched until dawn
When the Pink Moon Night starts, do not go back to a Campsite. Wander around and don't get caught.

My Favorite Photographer

Become Friendly with any Species on the Island
Increase the Friendly meter for any species past the first marker. You can do this by submitting more and higher quality photos for that species.

Quite Popular

Become Friendly with all Species on the Island
Increase the Friendly meter for all species. You can do this by submitting more and higher quality photos.

Multi-Step Achievements

Taste of the Wild

Know every Species on a deeper level
Mate with each species at least once. You'll need to first become more familiar with each species before you can interact with them in this manner.

Peeping for Science

Unlock all acts in the Monsutra
The best opportunity to capture these photos is during the Pink Moon Nights. You do not need to take a good photo or even submit the photo for it to count; simply capturing the act will count.

Beacons in the Plains

Reactivated all Radio Beacons inside the Plains Region

Mark of the Wolf

Summon the dreaded Malous
See the below guide on how to unlock the Malous. They will spawn during both the day and the night like most other species in the Plains.

Relaxing	Sitting down on the ground Sitting in the water Standing doing simple hand gestures

Grooming

This is possible at most points with water anywhere on the map where mons walk by. For most species (Bunets, Rudier, Hoereno, Lecho, Malous, Sweedee), the hot springs at the bottom of the map are an easy spot to get these photos.

For the remaining species (Kokai, Furloin, Caiadaly), I've found it's better to run between the two red dots on the below map to respawn the mons until you get a group of the one you want. Then once you spot a group of the mon in question, follow and sneak behind them to see if they eventually head to the water to groom. The light blue line indicates the general area where they could be spotted grooming. If they walk away, simply repeat the process to spawn new mons. It can take some time to spot one.

Mating

Most categories here are self-explanatory.

@edge make a post in Discussions or on their Discord. That's not something I can help with.

[Edge]

Game crashed after finding the audio note about the mysterious fog.

[Lazernerd]

You have to be patient and just keep monitoring them. The fox took me several hours to spot.

[这河里吗]

Foxes and snakes always drink water without grooming.

[Lazernerd]

@FantomYar I think what you're referring to is the Pink Moon Night which happens automatically every few nights. You can use your bed at camp to skip each night until you get the Pink Moon Night.

[FantomYar]

Where to get a pink ball that creates pink smoke and makes an animation of monster intercourse, because in other videos there was this object that made it easier?

[✦VixenTheMajestic_Kitsune✦]

i tried so hard to skip the days, nights but i got not fucking luck like how is it possible to get one of them grooming and sleeping i exploring everytime to get at least one doing it grooming but its hard to get a group. i give up for now this game its just impossible, based on luck. It's ridiculous to hope to finish this game at 100% percent it takes a lot of my time and free time but thank u for answering me mate and have nice day!

[Lazernerd]

The croc and snake mons are common around the river and swamp, but you can find the snake elsewhere in the plans too. The croc doesn't seem to venture out as much. The grooming ones can be hard to spot, but the guide had a section dedicated to exactly that; it may take some time to spot them grooming.

[✦VixenTheMajestic_Kitsune✦]

sorry if i bothering about it but where their grooming too i cant find it tho :w

[✦VixenTheMajestic_Kitsune✦]

i have two questions first one : which location the crocodile girl and the other lizard girl sleeping tho cuz i cant find it or dont know where is it?, second question ; the rocks u throwing at them its that possible to skip their animations and go somewhere else or the mons doesn't care all and keeping their daily routine?
