Celestial Map Achievement Guide [Old Version]

How to get all 43 constellations with minimal frustration and reliance on random events.

Intro

This guide was made for the v1.0.2158 version of the game (04/15/2016 update).
This guide might not be fully accurate for future updates.

Starting Constellations

Right off the bat, you start the game with 5 constellations:

• Crown of Heaven
  
• Queen of Heaven
  
• Great Mother
  
• The Dunes
  
• The Leaf

Character Constellations

• Main Characters

Talk to each hero in their respective home village, then speak with them at the campfire.

• Historian

Invite Roa to your camp. Her location is random, but not particularly uncommon to come across.
If the Ancient Cave is on your map, she is always at the entrance.

• Roa

Speak with Roa at your camp.

• Traitor

Listen to Sargon at your camp. He is located in deserts with a red skull symbol over them.
He approaches your camp after you defeat his magma beast.

• Sargon

Play a game as Sargon.

Location Constellations

These constellations require you to travel to specific areas on the overworld map.

• Afterworld

Learn to speak with spirits by entering the Spirit Gate. You must kill its guardian.
The Spirit Gate is located in forests with an arch symbol above them.

• Pale Dancer

Visit the High Tribe.

• Reefwalkers

Visit the Port of 5 Winds.

• Silkhood

Visit the Ancient Cave.

• Silver Sister

Visit the Celestine.

• Ufratu River

There are two constellations for this one, but you get them both when the river zones are unlocked.
They only count as one new constellation.

• Wildtongue

Learn to speak with animals from Bayun at the campfire.
Bayun is located in forests with a green house symbol above them.
You must feed him and then confront Baba Yaga at her home. At camp, accept Bayun as a companion.

Legend Constellations

These constellations depend on the various traits you have listed under your reputation at the end of the game. Definitely the trickiest type to complete, since there are no hints as to what personalities would lead to a new constellation.

These constellations DO NOT depend on what character you are playing as, starting location, completed events, or which ending you get. However, certain endings can give you a new trait or rearrange the order of your traits. Check the 'How to Bypass Random Events' section on how to prevent the ending from messing up your assigned constellation. To be sure you've got the correct traits, check your reputation right after initiating the fight with the King.



There are multiple trait combinations that can unlock the same constellation, but listed below are the most direct/easiest methods (as far as I've tested).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• No traits

Rose can be unlocked by having no traits or just Seductive.

• Only one trait

**edit: "The Rat" has been replaced by "The Fox". Use the same listed method.

• Two traits (reputation must be in depicted order)

• Two traits (no required order for reputation, as long as depicted traits are present)

• Three traits (reputation must be in depicted order)

++Tip: Set your starting village as either Dustfolk or High Tribe. They offer the most opportunities for picking up traits.

How to Bypass Random Events

This game is full of them, and you don't want one forcing an unwanted change to your reputation.

• Always cook at the campfire. It never affects your traits, regardless of what you cook. Any other activity (hunting, sleeping, etc) could provoke a random event that adds a trait to your reputation.
  
• Suicide on every zone. You don't have to die immediately if you're searching for a specific event (Baba Yaga, Spirit Gate, etc), but do not clear the zone. Otherwise, you will gain a trait based on how you completed the zone.
  
• Avoid fans on the final day. They appear based on which traits you have, but interacting with them could rearrange the order of your reputation.
  
• Lose to the King. Or win. Losing is easier. Any other ending (Forgive, Condemn, Seduce, Deceive) will add a trait to your reputation right before the ending cutscene. However, if Seductive is your number 1 trait, it is likely that the Seduce ending is unavoidable. That's ok, it will not affect your reputation.

Conclusion

And there you go!


Thanks to FridayBiology and 'Shadop for working with me on completing the map!

In case anyone is curious, in the most recent version the legend part of this guide is wrong. You only need 1 or 2 traits for every constellation, and the game tells you ingame which ones you need. I'm not sure if the order matters or not, but if you have a third trait that doesn't seem to be a problem.

Anyway, I just thought I could come back here and give a heads up regarding that achievement, as I took me about 5 hours to test all that and prevent a new person to do the same.

Maybe some day I can try with local coop, the official dev tip to get the correct constellation as no character get the same one in one play (I tried by myself but its near impossible to have that kind of motor hand coordination and patience for 3 or 4 controllers lol) but, for now, I give up as I did in 2016…

Devs: its not too late to make this achievement correct or easier, we played your game happily and ad nauseum at this point… can U help us? Your game is always in one PSN sale or another, we are still buying your game :P

But then I did not get. Even having Vengeful, Brave and Proud, respectively, I did pop either The Fox or The Queen Throne. I was very upset, because on top of that the traits can change order depending in god knows what, hence getting the 3 of them, solo, in the correct order, twice, was almost getting the lottery. And we are talking about just of of 4 triple trait constellations.

Then I tried some variations on the order, just to test, to no avail (I knew it had to be in order, but the correct one didn’t worked, so….).

I did the same for The Tornado constellation and the same happened, always getting a 1 trait constellations even having 3 of them in the correct order… I remember the devs saying something here on steam forums that they are not guaranteed to get besides doing coop with four with the same traits using the rule of exclusion to get but c’mon…

Hi, Bruno here again, after... 5 years lol
I stumbled upon my unfinished games (in terms of achievements/trophies) and saw Moon Hunters.

I knew it had a problem with the Constellations Map trophy, and was hopeful something had changed.

That being said I tried, solo, to follow the FoundthePenguim guide (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=677459686) in sync with the Shadop guide (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=648432595) and try to get the 3 traits constellations. I did some planning on the most efficient route and, with some luck, was able to get the 3 of them, in order, for the The Diving Hawk constellation.

I can attest for The Monkey, The Open Hand, The Scroll, The Shadow and The Diving Hawk. All worked for me. Thx m8

Go up to the blank spot and hit E, it will tell you what the traits are. The assertion that you can't have any other traits than the ones listed for the constellation also seems to be wrong.

Guide is wrong?? WHAT :O
