Bugsnax Achievement Guide: Documentarian#

If you’re diving into the quirky world of Bugsnax and aiming to earn the Documentarian achievement, you’ve come to the right place! This guide will walk you through the necessary steps to snap the perfect picture of every Bugsnak, ensuring you complete your Grumpus photo album in no time. Let’s get those photos!

Getting Started with the SnaxScope#

Before you can start documenting every Bugsnak, you need to have your trusty SnaxScope. You’ll get this early in the game, right after meeting Filbo Fiddlepie and heading to Snaxburg. Your SnaxScope is your primary tool for capturing each creature’s image, so get familiar with it.

Here’s a quick refresher on how to use the SnaxScope:

1. Equip the SnaxScope: Press the correct button (depending on your platform) to bring up the SnaxScope.
2. Aim: Move the reticle over any Bugsnak to lock on.
3. Scan: Press the scan button to take a picture. The name and info of the Bugsnak should then pop up.
4. Review: Check your captured images in the SnaxScope menu to make sure you’ve got them all.

Finding Every Bugsnak#

There are a total of 100 unique Bugsnax to document, and they’re scattered across the various biomes of the island. Here’s a quick breakdown of where you’ll find the critters:

• Garden Grove
  • Example Snak 1: Bunger - The friendly burger Bugsnak that loves ketchup!
  • Example Snak 2: Strabby - The adorable little strawberry Bugsnak.
• Scorched Gorge
  • Example Snak 1: Fryder - A spidersnack that looks like french fries!

  • Example Snak 1: Pineantula - A pineapple that crawls around like a spider.

And so on for each region. Remember, some Bugsnax only come out at night, while others may need to be lured with specific sauces. Use your SnaxScope’s built-in clock to keep track of time!

Pro Tips for Capturing Elusive Bugsnax#

1. Use Sauces to Lure: Some Bugsnax are not easily accessible or visible. Use sauces like ketchup, hot sauce, or peanut butter to draw them out.
2. Set Traps: Sometimes you’ll need to use your Snak Trap to capture a Bugsnak and get a better look. Don’t hesitate to get creative!
3. Observe Behavior: Take a moment to observe how the Bugsnak moves. Each has unique patterns and habits that might give you a better chance to photograph them.
4. Time of Day: As mentioned, some Bugsnax are nocturnal or prefer certain weather conditions. If you can’t find a Bugsnak, try coming back at a different time.

Double-Check Your Progress#

It’s easy to get lost in the excitement of discovering new Bugsnax, but make sure to periodically check your Bugapedia. This in-game journal will list all the Bugsnax you’ve photographed and their details. Make a checklist of the ones you’re missing and revisit areas if needed.

Wrapping Up#

The Documentarian achievement isn’t just a testament to your keen eye but also to your patience and willingness to explore every nook and cranny of the island. Each Bugsnak brings a bit more richness to your journey, and photographing them all is a truly rewarding experience.
