How to unlock the Master Cartographer achievement in Adera - Definitive Guide

The game guides you through this achievement, but sometimes worrying about time can cause confusion, and to avoid playing this all the way again because of that, I have made a quick and fast video guide showing you how to do it, and where to move the telescope.

Take note that you might not get the achievement on your first run through anyways, as this achievement is glitchy. I completed the entire episode, and this was the only achievement left. So I shut down my Adera app, opened it again a few minutes later, went to episode 4, started a new game, and quickly got to this part. And then on my first attempt after doing that, I got this achievement, as is displayed in the video.

x jjaldana 2 x had trouble using a video guide, so for those of you that do not like videos, he provided a really nice image as well.

Lol, not sure how you managed to mess up, but thanks for the image. I'll put it in my solution.

Yeah, had the same issue. Didn't pop on the first go but did at when I completed it the second time.

6 spots in total you need to look at. Sometimes clicking on the place it wants you to look at helps. Be sure to change the focus if it isn't accepting that you've seen a spot. If you're sure you did it within 2 minutes in your first playthrough, try quitting entirely and starting a new game as this apparently won't unlock for some unless you complete one playthrough and then close the app - relaunch and play to the spot required on a new game (similar issue to the issue with the achievement for aligning the planets).

1) All the way to the top and center of the screen - zoom in all the way on a black stack of rocks.

2) Go southeast looking for a orangeish colored rock fairly close to the bottom of the screen and a little to the right of center, zoom back out nearly all the way to bring it into focus.

3) Follow the red trees northeast nearly all the way to the top right corner (zoom nearly all the way in) and you will see an bird (Quezacotl) outline of brown against a grey background.

4) Its twin is nearly all the way in the bottom left corner (zoom all the way out) and you see it in a clearing.

5) This one gave me the most issue for some reason... it wants the green cliffside all the way to the top (zoom all the way in) not too far to the left of #1... but the ridge behind it.

6) This is the city looking place just southwest of #5. Zoom out a bit to bring it into focus.

*MISSABLE* Once you insert the lens and landmark clues paper into the telescope, click on it to use it. You will then need to guide the telescope around to the 6 landmarks on the screen in under 2 minutes. There is no timer, so you just have to be quick. You will need to use the dial around the viewfinder to focus the telescope at each landmark until the game recognizes and spins the cross-hairs within the viewfinder. This may be tricky to complete on your first attempt going in blind. Below is a description of how to best attempt navigating the telescope, as well as an image to go along with it showing the locations on screen and what exactly you should be looking for. Definitely read ahead a little here before starting the telescope sequence.


  1. From the start, head straight upwards until you see a fuzzy blackish object. Stop there and focus to see the obsidian obelisk.
  2. Then head down and to the right until you see some orange trees. Follow these orange trees down and to the left until the last one, which is actually an orange rock. Focus on this fiery rock.
  3. Then follow the orange trees back up and to the right. Once you reach the greyish cliff area, focus to see the bird made out of sticks and leaves.
  4. Now head quickly down to the very bottom of the screen. Place the view right between the "Instructions" tab and the "Gaze to the far southwest" tabs. Focus on this bird of sticks and leaves in the grassy area.
  5. Now move the view straight up to the very top of the screen and focus on the green vegetation on top of the muddy cliff.
  6. Finally, move the view down a tad and to the left to find a small village. Focus on it.
