How to unlock the The Islander's Almanac achievement in Fallout 4 - Definitive Guide

There are five Issues of the "The Islander's Almanac" in Far Harbor, here are all Locations on my interactive Fallout Map (work in progress!):

01: Far Harbor - inside the The last Plank, on the table near Old Longfellow
02: Acadia - inside Acadia, at Sub Level 1 on the Bar
03: National Park Visitor'a Center - Inside the House, on the counter
04: Brooke's head Lighthouse - On top of the Lighthouse on a Table
05: Northwood Ridge Quarry - the Issue can be found in the 'Living Space' on a Table near a bed

Posted by Meiphora: Me i had problems with the one in Brooke's head Lighthouse. I look on the table and the book wasn't there. Turns out the book felt of the table and was behind it. needed to play with the camera a little to be able to pick it up.

Posted by ikilledbecka: For those whose one in the quarry that glitches, that also happened to me, it was up against the wall behind that rack. Try to be as close and to the right of the rack as possible and search around for it. Best advice I can give, good luck!

Posted by Orangeflav0r: For those who have all five in your inventory and it didnt unlock, its cause you probably scraped the desk on witch the one in the visitors center was. If you go get it at the workbench, it doesnt count as picking it up apparently, you gotta drop all of them on the ground and pick them up again and it popped for me!

Glitch for me on number 3. Just never visible could not collect, had to load old save and do it all again! I think the reason for this was that I had finished the quest for Mitch and sent the old man home before I picked up the Almanac. Warning to others - get the Almanac first.

Easy to miss the Acadia one, because one isn't in "loot everything!" mode when visiting.

Had also a problem in the Lighthouse. I fought with Douglas near the table with the almanac. During the fight it fell out of the lighthouse and I wasn't able to find it down on the ground. Had to use an older save.

poorly worded for quarry. I spent a bunch of time thinking the living space was the slanted main shack with the bomb button because it had a bed with a table beside with a rack looking thing nearby. I didn't realize there was an area down below that you load into.

I did the fight in the lighthouse mostly by just chucking grenades in there, so god only knows where the magazine flew off to...

Avoid throwing grenades near the magazines!

Yep, the risky part of the quarry is that the enemies in there like to throw grenades, which can blast the magazine somewhere random and even unreachable - my best advice is to lure the enemies away from the magazine before engaging in combat. If the magazine is not there after the fight, you should be able to load your quick save from when you entered the area and try again

A good work around for missing magazines or shortcut is to get one mag, build a magazine rack (shelve item) in your settlement, transfer the mag to the rack then read the mag, pick it up, and repeat until it pops. Verified as working as of 2023.

I had the issue where i had all 5 mags collected and it didn't pop up, i tried the drop and pick method and still didn't worked, so i reloaded an old save before i had all 5 unlocked and as soon i pick the mag on the national park it unlocked without even having the rest. Hopefully this helps someone else. Bugthesda really need to fix this!

I got all 5 and the cheevo didn't pop. Tried the drop and pickup trick with no results, and restarting the Xbox. It turns out the 3rd issue (Far Harbor Sightseer's Guide) glitched out on me when I first grabbed it so I had to reload an old save. You can see all the others under the active Perks except this one. When you pick it up you should be prompted with a Map Updated message.

#1 - Can be located right after getting off the boat, just simply head inside the building to your right and it will be sitting on the table next to Old Longfellow

#2 - Just Northwest of Far Harbor at the National Park Visitor's Center another magazine can be found within the building sitting on the bar.

#3 - Is located downstairs in Acadia. Simply head inside the building and take a right and go down to flights of stairs and you will find this one on a bar top as well next to some candles.

#4 - Far South at the North Ridge Quarry you can find this one within the quarry itself, just fight a few trappers and head up two flights of steps until you come across a bed with a magazine on the night stand.

#5 - Just South of the last one you will come across Brooke's Lighthouse where the fifth magazine can be found atop of the lighthouse in the right side corner.

GLITCHED

Sometimes, magazines will fall through objects or the scenery where they are suppose to be located so if one can't be found then try looking under where it's suppose to be or going to a lower level if possible. If not, then the best you can do is load an earlier save and look again or you will have to restart the DLC again and hope for the best.

There are a total of 5 magazines that you need to collect, two of which you can run into during the main quest.

Here is a list of the locations for the magazines:

  • Far Harbor - Inside The Last Plank, on the table next to Longfellow. This unlocks points of interest on the map.
     
  • Acadia - Inside of Acadia, going down the first set of stairs you'll see a counter, which it is sitting on. You will receive 10% less damage from Radiation based attacks.
     
  • Brooke's Head Lighthouse - This is located at the very top of the lighthouse sitting on a wooden table. This gives you a 5% higher VATS chance against animals you are in combat with.
     
  • National Park Visitor's Center - Going in from the front entrance, take a right and it'll be sitting on a table. This unlocks Sludge based recipes at the Chemistry Station.
     
  • Northwood Ridge Quarry - Once inside the hideout, you will continue forward until you reach their set up, go up both sets of stairs and you will see a bed with a table next to it in between a steamer trunk. It is on the table. This allows you to take 5% less damage from Mirelurk melee attacks.

These unfortunately CANNOT be collected from the "Dev Room". But of course, if you're here, then you want another way to obtain them without having to actually hunt for them. I don't blame you. So I will provide those codes for said magazines:

Islander's Almanac #1 - xx04EF8B
Islander's Almanac #2 - xx04EF8D
Islander's Almanac #3 - xx04EF8F
Islander's Almanac #4 - xx04EF92
Islander's Almanac #5 - xx04EF94

For me, I replaced the "xx" with 03 because I had all the DLC. If you don't, for money reasons, it would be a different number. Example: "player.placeatme 0204EF8B" would give you the first issue, right at your character's feet. Any questions and/or concerns, leave a friendly comment.

Magazines are back in Far Harbor, though this time there are only five issues to collect. Luckily, none of them are missable. Two of them can be found in locations you come by naturally during the main quest while the rest are off the beaten path.

Please see below for a checklist on the locations of all five magazines.

Far Harbor: Inside The Last Plank, it can be found on the table next to Longfellow.

Acadia: Inside Acadia, it's sitting on top of the counter on the floor underneath DiMA's control center.

Brooke's Head Lighthouse: At the very top of the lighthouse, it can be found on a small wooden table.

National Park Vistor's Center: From the front entrance, it's sitting on a counter in the room your the right.

Northwood Ridge Quarry: Inside the hideout near the beds/steamer trunk, it's sitting on top of a small table.

Once all five magazines have been collected, the achievement will be yours. Feel free to refer to the video guide below if further assistance is needed. Thanks, PowerPyx!

there is a bug with magazine number 5 in the location of the tourist center of the national park. At least that’s how I got caught, I went there on instructions, and since this is a place where you can set up your camp, I immediately began to recycle everything for scrap, including one of the racks where the magazine was located .in the end I took it from the workbench, it worked fine with the musical accompaniment, but in the end they didn’t give me the trophy after collecting everyone. I rebooted the old save file, collected it as it should, then quickly ran through the rest and it fell out!!!
