I thought I would share the information I found to the community on how to get the achievement, I do not claim this is my own material. Full credit goes to Vlad at vgfaqs.com

The Lost Planet 3 Bestiary Collectibles become available later in the game, after Peyton completes a series of quests for Dr. Roman.

This specific category of Lost Planet 3 collectibles is detailed by the following guide, which explains how to tag all creatures in Lost Planet 3, what creatures you have to find, and where to find them.

At some point in the game, while playing the main missions of the story, you will receive an item from Dr. Roman. It is a pistol that allows you to tag the creatures included in the planet’s fauna.

As soon as you get the tagger, you will have to focus on tagging all enemies you encounter, before killing them. If you open the menu you will also notice that the collectibles’ section includes a new tab called Bestiary.

The Bestiary tab features 10 entries that must be filled in order to unlock the Geneticist achievement/trophy and in order to complete the side-job you get from Dr. Roman.

An important fact that you have to consider is that not all entries can be filled by tagging Akrids. Some of these entries, which require the DNA from specific Akrids, can be filled only by finding specific spots in the game.

In other words, some DNA is kept inside objects such as consoles, and you have to retrieve them as well if you wish to fill Peyton’s bestiary.

To tag an Akrid and extract the creature’s DNA you have to equip the tagger from Dr. Roman, and fire once aiming for the creature you want to tag. Next you have to aim the same creature until the marker above its head fills up, allowing you to stock the data required.

Some creatures in Lost Planet 3 are easy to tag, but others can be challenging since you are not allowed to kill them. Instead, you have to continuously dodge their attacks and wait for the tagger to fill.

Furthermore, some Akrids that must be tagged spawn only in specific areas of the planet, therefore, the Lost Planet 3 Bestiary Locations guide below, reveals the areas you have to find and the Akrids you need to tag.

Lost Planet 3 Bestiary Locations Guide:

Area: Shackleton’s Peak
Bestiary Collectible 1 – Akrid Egg DNA

The first Bestiary collectible is the Akrid Egg DNA which you have to collect after you find Doctor Roman.

The location is clearly marked on your map and you will have to visit is since it is part of a quest. Once you tag the Akrid Eggs, you the collectible will be added to your inventory.

Area: Bishop’s Wake
Bestiary Collectible 2 – Dongo DNA

Another Bestiary Collectible you can add to your inventory is the Dongo DNA.

A large number of Dongo Akrids reside in the area known as Bishop’s Wake.

Make sure that you stun one of them using a grenade, and then collect its DNA.

Area: Diaz Cavern
Bestiary Collectible 3 – Bolsepia DNA

Bolsepias can be found everywhere, and you can tag them very fast.

These creatures appear early in the game and they shoot fireballs at you. After you get the tagger from Doctor Roman, tag one of them to add it to your collection.

Area: Marshall’s Gorge (Power Plant)
Bestiary Collectible 4 – Tarkaa DND

Tarkaa are the quick Akrids that attack you when you enter the Unknown Structure.

When you first fight a Tarkaa, you will have to complete a quick event and take it out with your knife. A Tarkaa is similar to a fish and attacks quickly. You will find them in the main room of the Unknown Structure you unlock in Marshall’s Gorge.

Bestiary Collectible 5 – Wardeye DNA (Female)

A Wardeye is a creature similar to a worm. It has one eye used to shoot three projectiles at the same time. These creatures are found while exploring the second unknown structure. They are easy to tag as long as you remain in cover.

Area: Shackleton’s Peak
Bestiary Collectible 6 – Enbee DNA

The Enbees are similar to mosquitos and can also be found in most areas; however, to collect their DNA make sure you equip the tagger while completing Dr. Roman’s quest in Shackleton’s Peak.

At some point, Dr. Roman will ask you to attach your Rig’s winch to the tower on top of the mountain, and you will be attacked by Enbees. Activate your tagger and get the DNA to fill another slot in your Bestiary.

Bestiary Collectible 7 – Vorgg DNA

The Vorgg Akrid in Lost Planet 3 is similar to a giant crab. The first Vorgg you will encounter is located on top of Shackleton’s Peak, when you try to align the Com-Dish.

Later in the game, you will encounter more Vorggs in various locations on the planet. One of them must be tagged in order to fill another entry in your Bestiary.

Area: Diaz Cavern
Bestiary Collectible 8 – Sepia DNA

The Sepia Akrid is the first enemy you will fight at the beginning of the game. A Sepia Akrid looks like a tulip and they spawn from specific points that can be destroyed.

Usually you will find them in Diaz Cavern.

Bestiary Collectible 9 – Genessa DNA

In Diaz Cavenr you will also find multiple spawning points also known as Genessa.

These points or nests are used by various Akrid to spawn. They won’t attack you but you must destroy them if you wish to stop the waves of enemies. One of them must be tagged and added to your bestiary.

Area: Pickett’s Folly
Bestiary Collectible 10 – Swankaa DNA

Similar to a dog, the Swankaa is a vicious and fast creature that is located in most areas of the planet. The stalkers can be found outside and in caves; therefore, they are easy to tag.

When you extract the energy for Dr. Roman in Pickett’s Folly, they appear during one of the waves.

Bestiary Collectible 11 – Goonroe DNA

The Goonroe Akrid can be confused with the Swankaa, but they are more powerful than their counterparts and they inflict more damage.

Unlike the Swankaa, the Goonroe is a grey cat-like Akrid. They also appear in Pickett’s Folly along with the Swankaa, but they will spawn in other areas as well, especially the caves in Shackleton’s Peak.

Area: Marshall’s Gorge
Bestiary Collectible 12 – Hiveen DNA

The Hiveen DNA is hard to find and to get it you have to enter the security installation from Marshall’s Gorge.

Once you get inside, head to the central chamber which features multiple floors.

Climb to the third floor, and if you have found the memento of Lagan Cherupara, head to the same chamber, and activate the console where you have found the chess piece.

If you didn’t find the said memento, once you reach the third floor, look for a chamber which can be accessed through the ventilation system above (the magnetic hook is required). When you find the ventilation system, drop inside and activate the console to get the bestiary collectible.

Area: Shackleton’s Peak (Shackleton’s Summit)
Bestiary Collectible 13 – Tangaant DNA

Probably one of the most ferocious Akrids in Lost Planet 3, the Tangaant Akrid is a creature similar to a scorpion. Poisonous and very fast, the Tangaant Akrid resided on top of Shackleton’s Peak.

Later in the game, each time you enter Shackleton’s Summit, you will have to fight one Tangaant. The creature must also be tagged for the bestiary.

Area: White Canyon Junction
Bestiary Collectible 14 – Sieragz DNA

When you reach the northern camp you will have to defeat an enormous Akrid called Sieragz. The large armored head can spawn flies and it is a dangerous rival if you don’t use your Rig.

This specific creature can also be found in The White Canyon Junction, in the area where you free Laroche, however it will spawn there only later in the game. One Sieragz has to be tagged in order to fill another entry in your Bestiary.

Bestiary Collectible 15 – Emmlid DNA

The Emmlid DNA can also be added your Lost Planet 3 Bestiary if you wish to complete it.

An Emmlid is a flying creature you will encounter while fighting the Sieragz Akrid.

They dive and explode on impact, therefore you have to be quick and tag one before they fly towards you. The Emmlid Akrid is spawned by the Sieragz, and since one Sieragz can always be found in the White Canyon Junction, in the same area you will also locate one or more Emmlid.

Area: Pickett’s Folly (Armory)
Bestiary Collectible 16 – Wardeye DNA (Male)

The Wardeye Male DNA should also be collected if you want to complete the Lost Planet 3 Bestiary.

A Male Wardeye is similar to its female counterpart, but unlike the female, the male focuses on melee attacks. You will find them in Picket’s Folly if you visit the Armory, also known as Security Installation.

The Male Wardeyes will ambush you as soon as you enter the said structure; therefore, tag one of them at the entrance.

Area: N/A
Bestiary Collectible 17 – Gorevorgg

The final entry in our complete Lost Planet 3 Bestiary Guide belongs to a creature that must be tagged while playing one of the game main quests.

It is the King Crab Akrid, or the Gorevorgg which you will have to kill inside a specific cave.

The Gorevorgg is much stronger than a Vorgg, and its weak points are on its stomach. An important fact that must be mentioned is that the Gorevorgg doesn’t spawn often; therefore, you have to tag it as soon as you are able to fight the one that resides in the cave where you will be sent to plant a post.

1 Comment

Also if you miss the Gorevorgg during the fight there is a giant claw belonging to the gorevorgg at the top point where you use the magnetic hook.

In other guides its states that this achievement is missable, but in my case luckily it wasn't the case.

During my first with the "King Crab" I totally forgot to tag it and killed it. After a few save points I come to realize that I cannot go back to the point where I fought the crab. Frustrated that I might have to spend another 4 hours to get back at that point I just wanted to give up.

For some reason I decided to explore the area where I killed the crab in question since I got a new grappling hook to play around with. At the base of steel tower I saw a huge crab claw, thinking what hell and shot it with a tag, DNA registered and achievement unlocked.

So don't give up if you miss to tag the "bosses" but I still recommend to tag the bosses as soon as possible.

Great guide thank you.

Bestiary Collectible 9 – Genessa DNA

In Diaz Cavern you will also find multiple spawning points also known as Genessa.

*In my experience Diaz Cavern they were all destroyed. I scanned a Genessa in another location. it is across the lava on the downed ship in Pickets Folly. Need to use your cable. Hope this helps,

Roman gives you a mission to tag Akrid for research during the ‘Test The DNA Tagger’ in ACT 1. She gives you Specialty Ammo for your pistol (Hold X Button). Shoot an untagged Akrid and remain aiming at it until the circle fills up. You can see your progress of DNA tagged Akrid in your Bestiary (Back Button). Make sure you keep track of which Akrid you’ve tagged, especially Bosses; some will only have one opportunity to be tagged.

Akrid Egg (Can’t miss, main mission based)
Tarkaa (Abandoned Base, During ‘Find A Way Out’ Mission in ACT 1)
Ermmlid (Camp Of The Forgotten, during the fight with Sieragz Boss)
Sepia (Everywhere, can get right after getting mission from Roman, near her pod)
Bolsepia (Pretty common, can also get right after Sepia, near Roman’s pod)
Genessa (Pretty Common, they’re the red/orange things on the walls that spawn enemies)
Wardeye Male (Security Installation)
Wardeye Female (Power Plant)
Enbee (Shackleton’s Peak, Pickett’s Folly)
Goonroe (Bailey’s Crossing, Shackleton’s Peak)
Suwankaa (Marshall’s Gorge, Schackleton’s Peak)
Dongo (White Canyon Junction, Bailey’s Crossing and Bishop’s Wake)
Vorgg (Boss, Marshall’s Gorge)
Gorevorgg (Boss, Bailey’s Crossing, Only Available during the ‘Kill King Crab’ Mission)
Sieragz (Boss, Camp Of The Forgotten)
Tangaant (Boss, Pickett’s Folly, I would suggest tagging it in your first encounter, there’s a few more opportunities)
Hiveen (Boss, Weather Station, if you missed tagging this Boss you can download it from a computer at the Power Plant. This is in the same room as Lagan Cherupara’s Memento; see "Gone, But Not Forgotten" achievement)

***MISSABLE: THE GOREVORGG ONLY APPEARS IN 1 MISSION, TAG IT HERE, IT IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO DO SO***

The DNA bullets are given to you by Dr Roman. These can be accessed by getting out your main pistol and then holding down . You will notice that the ammo bar in the bottom right hand corner of your screen will go yellow and there will be only 1 bullet but with an infinite number of reserve bullets. You now have the DNA tagger bullets equipped. You will notice that when you press the button there is now a category under the collectables section called “Bestiary”. This shows you which Akrid species you have collected DNA for. Simply fire a bullet at the Akrid and then keep your aiming reticle over the Akrid until the green circle surrounding the DNA double helix symbol fills up. You will see a prompt appear in the top left hand corner notifying you that you have collected the DNA for that particular species.

See inside the spoiler below for a list of Akrid which must have their DNA collected as well as locations for them. CAUTION: There are also some story spoilers to describe locations.

1) Akrid egg: Done automatically in a mission.

2) Dongo: These are the Akrid which roll around and are exposed on their tail. They are commonly found in Bishop's Wake rolling around on the open and exposed ice plain.

3) Sepia: These are by far one of the most commonly found Akrid and have the appearance of a daffodil. They just lunge at you. These are tagged very quickly.

4) Wardeye (Female): These are the Akrid that hide behind cover. They are displayed on the trophy image for the trophy “Stop stalking me”. The female of the species has an orange glow to it and will project dart like objects at you. They are abundant in the Security Installation.

5) Wardeye (Male): These Akrid also hide behind cover and are almost identical in appearance to the Male Wardeye except they have a blue glow to them. The male of the species will attack you via melee attacks instead of shooting dart like objects at you. They too are abundant in the Security Installation.

6) Bolsepia: These are also incredibly common Akrid. These are the Akrid which spit fireballs at you and have the appearance of a ball on legs. They are literally found in any mission.

7) Tarkaa: These are the quick moving Akrid which run around on the floor. The first time you will meet one is when you are discovering the First Unknown structure and one will try and latch on to your face and you must repeatedly tap X in a quick time event to gain the chance to stab it. Try and tag one in this mission, if you fail to then they are abundantly found in the First Unknown structure upon re-visiting it when 'free-roaming'.

8) Genessa: These are the large, orange circular Akrid-spawners which Akrids such as the Sepia and Bolsepia will spawn out of. These are very easy to tag as they do not move or attack!

9) Enbee: These are the flying Akrid which are encountered whilst taking Storm readings on top of Shackleton's Peak. They can be tagged here but they also make an appearance when drilling for T-ENG in the rig at Pickett's Folly. These are just a few of many places they will spawn. They are easy to spot as they are the only flying Akrid species.

10) Goonroe: These are almost the flagship Akrid of LP3 and are the 'wolf' type Akrid that run around on all fours and have a large exposed orange patch in their mouths. They can be found very easily when ascending Shackleton's Peak. Instead of turning right to take the gondola to the peak, turn left when exiting the control boothe and you will crouch along a passage. At the end of this you will find a small ice plain with a generator with a blatant Blue light. Here will be a Goonroe and a Suwankaa also.

11) Suwankaa: This is the larger, white version of the Goonroe. They can be found very easily when ascending Shackleton's Peak. Instead of turning right to take the gondola to the peak, turn left when exiting the control boothe and you will crouch along a passage. At the end of this you will find a small ice plain with a generator with a blatant Blue light. Here will be a Goonroe and a Suwankaa also.

12) Vorgg: These are the crab-like Akrid. You will have numerous encounters with these such as when you are trying to align the dish on top of Shackleton's Peak or when you try and post a T-ENG post in the ice plain as part of a main mission. Make sure to tag one in the first encounter just to get it out of the way.

13) Gorevorgg: MISSABLE. This is the even larger crab-like Akrid. This will appear in the mission where you are contacted by a fellow NEVEC soldier and are told how the “giant Akrid” has been sighted and there is a very large bounty for killing it. There will be a small cutscene where it rises slowly from behind a snow hill to introduce it. Make sure you tag this as soon as possible. THIS IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO TAG THIS AKRID.

14) Tangaant: This Akrid closely resembles a scorpion. It is able to shot acid from its tail and also attack you with its front pincers. It's weak spot is on its tail. You will encounter one of these when getting the medical supplies in Pickett's Folly as part of a main mission but also when you reach the summit of Shackleton's Peak to take storm readings for Dr Roman. They sometimes will spawn at White Canyon Junction as well.

15) Sieragz: This Akrid attacks the Camp of the forgotten during a main campaign mission. In the cutscene it is bashing against the defenses and then impales a fleeing Snow Pirate soldier. It is capable of releasing many small Akrid from Its body that will dive-bomb at you, In doing so it will widen to reveal orange weak spots. This Akrid can also be seen in White Canyon Junction whilst there later in the game but not as part of a main campaign mission.

16) Emmlid: These are the small Akrid that the Sieragz releases from its body. Be very quick to tag these as they will kamikaze towards you and destruct on impact so you must tag them mid-flight.

17) Hiveen: Whilst you are descending Shackleton's Peak in the campaign mode, a big, tall akrid will attack you that can launch Tarkaa eggs from its head as well as being able to attack you with its very long tongue and claws. This is the Hiveen. This Akrid's weak point is on its forehead. You will battle it 3 times, twice on foot at 2 different points during your descent and then you will finish it off in your rig. You can collect the DNA with the traditional DNA tagger bullets OR you can collect the DNA through a machine as a collectable which is a unique option to this Akrid only. In the first unknown structure in the Science facility there will be a room which can only be accessed with the magnetic hook on the 2nd floor of the facility. Go in there and drop through the hole in the floor to where the momento of the chess piece is found. There will be a machine in there which you can collect the Hiveen DNA from as well.

about 13, I already wrote that his remains will be on the platform

By undingan on 26 Jan 2014 17:44

If you accidentally, or during the battle, forgot to collect the DNA of the Gorevorgg crab, then simply return to the same location after the battle. Use the cat to get to the top of the platform and you will find a large claw. We tag it - and here it is happiness!

In total, the bestiary needs to collect DNA from 17 species of locusts.

Don’t forget to collect the DNA of the small infection Ermmlid flying out of the nests on Seragzh’s head; you will meet the rest of the locusts more than once during the game and identify them without problems.

a large flea that spits arrows at you is masculine and feminine, the collection also includes any nest from which creatures fall out

By andre_van on 12 Sep 2013 07:57

If you forgot to identify the Boss Crab's DNA, his remains can be found on the bailey intersection platform.

1) If for some reason the DNA of TAngaant (Scorpio with acid) was not identified, do not worry. After the task to collect information or data, I don’t remember how on SHACKLETON PEAK and take it to Dr. ROMEN, this mob appears in the FUEL STORAGE in the flesh before meeting Gale, when you ask him to join you.

2) Again, where is SHACKLETON PEAK. First you go to where your car is hitched to the elevator. Then go out and go up the stairs. From there, go through the gorge as you go through the story for the first time. There will be 2 individuals there at once, namely: Suwankaa and Gonro (kill two birds with one stone)
