Bestiary log fields
| Field to record | Why it matters | Route impact |
|---|---|---|
| Version 1.2 count: 54/55 | A public Codex report confirms 55 visible slots but not the missing creature's identity. | Track the empty slot as Unknown; do not rewrite the route around a guessed animal. |
| Name plus variant | Wikis and player notes may split regular, boss-family, and shiny sightings differently. | Prevents re-checking the same entry during Full House cleanup. |
| Biome and pressure | Animal availability and route risk change when biome pressure changes. | Tells you whether to repeat the same biome or change scouting shell. |
| Sighting or kill | Some goals count seeing, while others require a safe kill. | Keeps collection runs from accidentally becoming boss-speed attempts. |
| Source and patch date | Public stats can lag behind patches. | Use outside data for planning, then verify in the in-game Codex. |
A simple log keeps collection work calm: one missing biome, category, or shiny sighting at a time.
Run checklist
- A public August 16 Version 1.2 Codex report shows 54/55. Treat 55 as the current visible total for that build, but do not guess the missing creature from the empty slot.
- The official 1.2 notes introduce Darwee as a new friend hatched by Spinnerets' Egg Sac; the notes do not explicitly say that Darwee is the missing Bestiary entry.
- Record creature name, biome, category, pressure level, challenge, and whether the sighting was shiny.
- Separate sighting goals from kill goals; a fragile collection route should not become a boss-speed route by accident.
- Full House and shiny goals become easier when repeated runs fill one missing biome or category at a time.
