~~While it says complete the Kindex, it appears to only require that you scan all the new flora and creatures, 27 in total.~~ It seems the achievement may unlock early for some, but they requirement is to get a full 68/68 in the Kindex. In my case, I had already collected all of the Postcards but not yet printed the Unlimited Stamina upgrade (though I had met the requirements to do so).

I've listed the flora and animals that you'll need to scan below in the order they're listed in game (which is neither order scanned nor alphabetical for some reason). NOTE: The Syphox is very easy to miss as it appears to only be in one small, out of the way area. It is a white flower growing in a small pond. In order to reach it, teleport to Boomerdale Beach and then run along the beach headed north. Eventually you will see a cliff to the left that you can grapple up. When you reach the top, look down the other side and you will see them in the water near a Vyper Vault.

Hi guys, I'm missing a viper tech scan. And it's not the crystal one at the end of the electric path.
I have crystal/ proofs/ numerical Vyper/ Kronus/ teleport/ billboard/ vapes. I'm missing the last one of the list in the Kindex. Thanks for the help :)

Edit ! For the ones missing out the last Vyper tech scan, the Kronus tower has 2 SCANS. The tower itself and the canons (bear the base). Thanks to Parkman for the help

By VII Hayato IIV on 17 Apr 2020 12:32

I tought I screwed this up because I killed the cube before scanning it but it respawn. He is in the third camp you need to investigate behind some high grass.

By Parkman Rules on 16 Apr 2020 00:42

Can Anybody help? Need to find "syphox".

By Zenexiion on 16 Apr 2020 01:04

The achievement didn't unlock for me until I scanned the last Vyper Tech for my 68 out of 68 Kindex entry. Must have unlocked early for OP.

By ruprket on 16 Apr 2020 01:46

Ive searched the entirety of the ocean, and basically all of the land (that i know of). Please can somebody tell me which teleporter/area i need to go to to find syphox and what it looks like cause thats the ONLY thing i need.

By Foxmoonlight on 16 Apr 2020 01:49

ruprket might be right, as I definitely didn't have all 68/68 complete when it unlocked. Iirc, I hadn't unlocked unlimited stamina yet, though I think I had done everything else. I'll update the original post in a minute.

For those looking for Pyphox: it's a flower that grows in a pond off of Boomerdale Beach. As soon as you've teleported run north along the beach until you see a cliff to the left you can grapple up (it's most of the way back). Once you get to the top look down the other side at the pond and you'll see them in the water near a Vyper Vault.

By 緑眼のイアン on 16 Apr 2020 02:11

Can't find the last Vyper Tech, does anyone knows where it is?

By ProjectMyst on 16 Apr 2020 06:50

I'm posting here as looking for the final bit of Vyper Tech too

By Its Just Rave on 16 Apr 2020 17:32

Maybe it is the thing at the end of the corridor you need to fly all the way to the end with electric walls. It was my last and took me a bit to figure this out. The tower where you beat Kronos have 2 vyper tech. The tower itself and the canon type thing.

By Parkman Rules on 16 Apr 2020 17:42

Thanks Parkman, it was the Vyper Data-Crystal at the end of the eclectic flying walls. I had been her before, but for some reason I didn't scan it 🤔

By ProjectMyst on 16 Apr 2020 19:43

Ah, I bet it's that for me too. Will check it out later.

By Its Just Rave on 16 Apr 2020 20:08

The last one we had trouble with finding was Ash-Preserved Creature so I thought I'd mention it's location here for now, it's in the last area in sticking out of the Lava, it's a big fossil. I think it's pretty close to below the final teleporter.

By Boogie on 17 Apr 2020 06:28

Can anyone remind me where to find the Alpha Cube ? I forgot to scan it... and I can't find the Vapes... thank you :)

By Void7274Void on 17 Apr 2020 13:04

Hi VII Hayato IIV

Not sure what one you are missing, but here is a list of all of them.

Vyper Data-Crystal (at the end of the electric path)
Incriminating Evidence (its at the 3 locations where you scan 3 of them)
Vyper Digit-Vaults (there's 3 of them scattered around)
Kronus (at the end boss fight)
Vyper Teleport (you can't miss this, you use it to teleport)
Vyper Power Panels (you have to shoot 3 of them to open up the Vyper Digit-Vaults)
Vyper Violator Missile Array (at the end boss fight)
Fuel Vapor (there's lots around, it's the purple rings you fly through)

By ProjectMyst on 17 Apr 2020 13:06

Hi Void Astra

Go to Gorgeous Gork's Gorge, then go straight forwards keeping to the left, you'll see the red screens right at the top, go there. As soon as you get in, you'll see two bunch of flowers on the left, it's behind one of them.

By ProjectMyst on 17 Apr 2020 13:13

Hello ProjectMyst and thank you :) Unfotunately, I think it was a missable... I fed it and opened it the first time I found it and it's not there anymore :(

EDIT : Nevermind, it was just moving around and I missed it ! Thank you so much :)

By Void7274Void on 17 Apr 2020 13:57

The explanation in the achievement description on how to find Syphox is horrible, so here's a better one:

Teleport to Xipyar's Fathomless Cenote, turn around, drop all the way down into the cenote, scan the little white flowers all over the water.

By Reel Big Mike on 18 Apr 2020 03:39

Any idea where to find all the vyper tech?

By Dr Tonic on 19 Apr 2020 03:49

Can anyone help me with my last 2 flora? Missing fnatch and spirax :/

By SinkableLion297 on 23 Apr 2020 14:47

im missing fnatch and sludge sucker

*edit*
Found fnatch, its a conch shell looking thing on the beach next to a rock in the water. they can be found under water as well. The Sludge Sucker is a meat vortex variant.

By snake42069 on 23 Apr 2020 19:46

Thanks, mate! Just missing spirax now...

By SinkableLion297 on 23 Apr 2020 21:20

Spirax is a spiral shell in the ocean. The one I found was near the backend of the beach past the frog fight, and farther out into the ocean.

By elheroeoscuro on 24 Apr 2020 16:20

just listing the names of what we need to scan isnt what i'd call a guide. maybe try giving a general area in which to look for all things would help

By TIBERIUS Oni on 30 Apr 2020 12:53

Can anyone help with the Kintech? I'm somehow missing the bottom one under boomerdale billboard.

By on 30 Apr 2020 17:16

Kintech:
Toxic DeShocker - you build this along with the story
Kindred Port-a-potty - found near spawn point (I searched all over before I realized they were exactly where you start!)
Lindred Mobile Latrine - found near spawn point (I searched all over before I realized they were exactly where you start!)
Boomerdale Billboard - found near spawn point

By SporkSan on 20 May 2020 03:34

Can't find the Tyler power panel.

By Gulite on 25 May 2020 02:44

I'm pretty frustrated I have everything but one of the viper techs and it the final boss but once you defeat him and I cant figure put a way to get back down there any advice:(

By Artiaura on 16 Jul 2020 04:51

The one thing I'm missing is Corafunga. Any ideas?

Edit: Apparently the flora are grouped by location/biome in the Kindex. The last 4 listed are underwater. Corafunga was the only one I was missing and it was a ways off the coast behind the starting spawn point.

By ICE Faux Pirate on 25 Aug 2020 01:26

Corock - underwater rock with holes on, like a termite mound. You can find one at the north end of the beach, right next to the tall leafy fronds which are sticking up out of the water. (about a triple jump out from the beach.)

By A1exRD on 23 Mar 2021 16:48

I forgot to scan the osmotic cube... is there any other one or does it respawn?

By ruyas on 19 Sep 2021 19:27

Was definitely missing the Viper Crystal at the end there. It's the one at the end of a long canyon of spikes and electricity. When others mentioned a corridor I thought it was in a building somewhere and was completely lost. Should be just behind the teleporter. Otherwise Myst's comment is helpful for locations.

By Notorious Kiwi on 23 Apr 2020 03:08

ftf Koolad - i was hanging around in the final boss area while reading, heard some sounds going off - the final boss the mech you need had respawned, if you are on about Kronus - you dont need to scan whats down below - just need to scan the tower.

(Forgot compass - right = north)
Spirax and Lettoosh - if you are looking at the sign post at the start and follow it off to the right to the island, both be found the first island in the water right next to this island.
I playe the whole DLC being careful not to jump in the water.
The is also a Fnatch behind it (just zoom a little) , and further on the right side is a postcard.
Corafunga - had further right over an island that is submerged and you can find them.

There are 68 items in the Kindex for DL-C1 and just like the Botanist and Zoologist trophies in the core game, you have to scan each every thing on this list for this trophy to pop:

22 Postcards
8 Viper Tech

4 KINTECH
20 Flora
7 Creatures

Vyper Data-Crystal - Needed for the Power Underwhelming trophy - Found at the end of the Ravine of Absolute Agony, which is up and to left of the first Vyper Industries compound you find during the story but you will have to use the Fuel Vapors to get up there.
Vyper Digi-Vault - Needed for the Power Underwhelming trophy - The easy way to find these and the Data-Crystal(s) is to install the Vyper Locator Upgrade in your Visor, then they will appear on your HUD as additional Location markers.
