How to unlock the Timber Maniacs achievement in FINAL FANTASY VIII Remastered - Definitive Guide

####reports of achievements not unlocking. Save your game first before attempting to meet the criteria and please comment before continuing and please comment before voting negative if it struggles to unlock####

There are 12 Magazines in total. I would suggest picking them up at the earliest opportunity. For those who never played this back in the day, you are looking for a small bright yellow mag, easily spotable. When read you get the message “found an old issue of [timber maniacs]...........you finished reading it”. These can be checked on the Laguna page that is available later in the game on the computer when you revisit balamb garden.

Collect all before the start of ultamicas castle (disk 4, after the final fight with Seifer in the Lunatic Pandora)

Timber Maniacs 10 - missable
Timber Maniacs 03 - obtainable when you have left Timber. When the departing train makes it first stop at the first station in the over world. Simply depart and back track to the hotel in Timber. Pay 100 Gill for the room. Collect and continue to Galbadia Garden

Timber Maniac Location
Timber Maniacs 01 - Balamb, Train Station or 2nd floor of the Inn.
Timber Maniacs 02 - Timber, Timber Maniacs Office Building.
Timber Maniacs 03 - Timber, Hotel Guest Room.
Timber Maniacs 04 - Fishermans Horizon, Grease Monkey's House.
Timber Maniacs 05 - Fishermans Horizon, Hotel Guest Room.
Timber Maniacs 06 - Trabia Garden, Graveyard.
Timber Maniacs 07 - Dollet, Hotel Guest Room.
Timber Maniacs 08 - Dollet, Pub.
Timber Maniacs 09 - Shumi Village, Artisan's House.
Timber Maniacs 10 - White SeeD Ship, Bridge.
Timber Maniacs 11 - Edea's Orphanage, Inside the house.
Timber Maniacs 12 - Deling City, Under the bed in the hotel room.

Hope this helps guys

I can’t remember off the top of my head. As soon as you get to the area grab it to avoid a second run through

Maybe try saving before picking up last one? You deffo picked them all up? Don’t forget the third one isn’t accessible until later in the game.

I would add a note to the original solution that #3 isn't available until later in the game - I didn't realize that until reading the comments here, and that would be really useful information from the get-go

10 and 11 are reversed. 10 is obtained at the orphanage, and 11 is the missable one on the white SeeD ship.

Thanks for comment Vektor0. It’s been a year since I played it. But I think I did them in order of pick up, just listed them as first second third etc etc. Appologise for the confusion

Worthwhile noting that this must be done before disc 4. Easiest to collect after your first visit to Edeas house leaving the white seed ship one until last so there's no chance you progress the story too far.

I'm dealing with the same problem. Achievement won't unlock after picking up all 12, and I was following a guide on the steam community as well.

I picked up the first timber magazine at the train station but I can't get the one in the Balamb hotel. Is it because I picked up the one in the train station first?

checked - got em all. Reloaded a previous save, collected the final one again and nothing. tried with 3x off, nothing. tried playing another game, nothing. So far 10 attempts for nada. This one achievement is ruining the game for me...

So I grabbed the airship after unlocking Ragnarok. I flew to each destination to double/triple check I had them all. I did. I unlocked a few more achievements, closed the game, shut down the xbox, started it back up 15 mins later and tried my 15th attempt at it and pop it goes. Only achievement to bug on me in this game so far but damn that was a doozy.

The achievement is also not popping for me and my suspicion is that the first Balamb issue is glitched. It is known that the train station magazine disappears if one reads the hotel magazine. Only the train station magazine actually leaves an entry in Sir Laguna's page. So, perhaps the achievment doesn't (easily) pop if one read the hotel version. Just my hunch. Did anyone unlock the achievement without hassle even though they read the hotel version and thus the first entry in the journal is missing?

Definitely save before you pick up the last magazine. I had to reload and pick it up four times before it unlocked.

That last time I completely exited the game and played something else for a while Then i picked up the magazine with all of the remaster boosts turned off. I have a hunch that the 3x speed might have been preventing it from unlocking before. Not because it's a cheat, but because maybe the increased speed was messing with the magazine registering the last one.

There are ten Timber Maniacs magazines to collect in the game, one of which is missable (on the SeeD ship). All of the locations for these collectibles are in the Jegged walkthrough, so you shouldn't miss any if you're following along with that. The locations can also be found in the video below if you need some visual help.

The magazines in the Remaster became clearly visible, there are only 12 of them. The last scenario point where the magazine lies is the Edea Orphanage. If you didn’t get any trophies there, it’s time to think about where you missed it.

Try not to forget to take the journal on the ship of the white Seeds, since you can only get there once, and all other journals can be obtained calmly after gaining control of Ragnarok.
