This will be one of the last achievements you unlock. This includes every rare game, Hunt Club monster, elite mark, Esper, and hidden boss. Most rare game and a good portion of the common enemies need certain conditions to spawn, ranging from waiting till the area is raining to sitting in a room for twenty full minutes before it spawns. You also need to start the Hunt Club side mission in Phon Coast.

I would play through the game naturally and then go back and follow along with your bestiary to see which monsters you are missing and compare it to this website.

It's extremely useful and when you click on the monster you are missing, at the bottom of the page it will show you where and how to find the monster.

Good Luck!

Does this achievement require you to kill the amounts listed by each bestiary entry, or simply unlock each entry in the bestiary? I've been going around killing the amounts numbered by each entry but I haven't seen the progress bar for this achievement budge at all.

Just one kill I believe as long as it's in the list. I haven't seen anywhere say differently.

This website claims you need to kill the required amounts:

However I have seen conflicting reports of this issue and was wondering if there was anyone who recently unlocked this with knowledge.

I downloaded the game again to check, and I can confirm I had plenty of entries that still "needed" kills, so you shouldn't have to get them either.

Thank you so much for that! Cheers. Hope this helps others with this question too.

You should point that the monster that are killed on the trials also count to the beastiary, meaning that you dont need to kill all of them in the history.

Jegged is a fantastic site but still claims that you need to complete the number of kills listed too which as we know isn’t true
