How to unlock the Toy seller achievement in Metro Exodus - Definitive Guide

Just to get the question out of the way up front: Nastya's teddy, found on Volga, does not count as the teddy bear mentioned in the achievement text. After picking up Nastya's teddy, the achievement tracker did not increase.

Also be aware that like the other collectibles, once you've acquired them, they remain in your inventory. So if you die on a level after collecting one and have to re-start, you do not have to re-acquire the collectible [thanks to NoHeroes94 for the info].

Fish - On VOLGA, at the end of the mission where you secure the railcar, in the side room where you can lure and kill the Tsar fish. If you turn left after walking in, there'll be a boat standing against the wall with a fish hanging down on the right side.

Sun - On CASPIAN, there is a derelict ship that has a hermit who lives inside of it. It is located here:

Be aware that driving to it is risky, so watch out for things that will get your vehicle stuck and avoid those flaming pools of oil at all costs. The ship itself is infested with spiders, so prepare for that (the Tikhar's fire rounds make short work of spiders).

Just below the level where the hermit is sitting, you'll come across a shelf with a number of items including a tape recorder. If you're looking at the tape recorder and turn right, you'll spot the sun dangling from a shelf.

External image


Bear - On TAIGA, near the beginning of the level, you find a schoolhouse. If you get to the broken bridge where the group of guys drop out of a tree and address you, you've just passed it.

External image


After entering the schoolhouse, turn right and go through the open doorway into the next room. The toy will be in the left-hand side of the room dangling from the window frame just above an actual teddy bear like Nastya's [Thanks to Ix x LEMON x xI for providing this early location].

+1. Quick note; if you're playing this on Iron Mode and trying to do this all in one go, be aware that as per the other collectibles you DON'T need to re-pick them up when you die. I died right at the end of Volga, had to restart the whole thing, and the collectible was permanently picked up (wasn't even there anymore). Also be aware that there is tracking, which helps.

@NoHeroes94 - Ouch, that's rough. I'm playing Iron Mode on Reader difficulty just to avoid having to replay anything. I've already played the campaign 3 times, including Ranger Hardcore, so I feel totally justified in playing on super-easy. laugh

I'll add a note to the solution about not having to re-collect the items if you die. Thanks for that.

I’m confused on Caspian for sun location. Where are they at? You need add for the picture each at locations for this. You will make people confused neither too.

@SuperDarkConker - I cobbled these locations together from conversations I found around the web. I posted it here as a loose guide for everyone to use.

When I locate the collectibles myself I'll give a better description and provide a screenshot like I did with the fish.

I should have the campaign finished sometime tomorrow and will update the last two collectibles as I acquire them.

@ME3TSPINNER
yes,
near the Baron's fortress that Anna points out.

while deeply exploring,
found those spots in previous runs.
though i cannot remember if anything was on the hooks then ?!

fyi,
in the valley directly left,
a little further in the same area,
cross the wooden planks,
there is a flushable toilet.
toilet paper mounted to the stone wall.

@NoHeroes94 - That sucks. You died as you were collecting it? That's really strange. I've never had my weapons despawn but once I had them get stuck so I can't use or switch them.

You didn't happen to grab a screen shot of the Sun you found near the water truck mission by any chance did you? I couldn't find it there and I'd love to see where it is...

UPDATE: FINALLY got back to where I was! I am pretty sure its a case of getting to any of the locations. For me, every single time it spawned at the first location I tried.

The game full on froze out. De-spawned me weapons, was barely able to move, everything. Starting my 1st of 2 playthroughs, no point wasting time about it. Happened to me at the start of Moscow as well, luckily it let me pick a weapon up and then worked fine.

I didn't, but this video has the exact location

A tip in case someone experiences the same glitch as NoHeroes94:

Collectibles are immediately saved when picked up. If the game freezes, crashes, or otherwise experiences a catastrophic glitch when retrieving one of these toys (or any other collectible), you may find that your save file was updated but your achievement tracker was not.

#1) In that case, immediately shut off your game if it didn't already crash. Done quick enough, the game won't have enough time to sync the bugged save file with the cloud.
#2) Select the "manage game" option for Metro Exodus and delete your save file from the console only.
#3) Relaunch Metro Exodus and allow it to restore your save file from the cloud. With any luck, it's a slightly older version that will allow you to recollect the toy and proceed as normal.

^ Dresden N7's tip is brilliant. Unfortunately, I didn't find it soon enough (achievement unlocked now, so all is well). I did have enemies around me, which might have contributed to the glitch too. Make sure the area is absolutely clear before you go for any collectibles!

After some playtesting, I am pretty sure that the first location you go to will have the collectible. I think the idea isn't that its random, but that you have multiple options to find it if you pass a collectible spot. This was the case for me during my documented playthrough above where the collectible glitched for me and during my main playthrough. In every instance (5), it was in the first spot I went to. I can also confirm these collectibles do not exist in NG, as the description indicates.

Thought I'd give a summary of all pickup locations I have found during my playthrough in the order you can find them (can add them to the guide if you want). Only in spoiler tags to conserve space, its NG+ so you should know what happens by now anyway.

VOLGA (Fish):


CASPIAN (Sun):


TAIGA (Bear):

Interesting notes on the Sun you can pick up during the Damir mission. I NEVER found the Sun there. Even after being provided a location, I know I looked at that pole from where it hangs multiple times and nothing. Also, no enemies spawned for me.

I wish it would have, too because it's on the way through a story mission you have to do and isn't out of the way like the derelict ship in the solution.

I'll likely add several of your locations for anyone who wants the option. Cheers for putting in the research and glad you got it to unlock finally.

@LEMON - I will keep my eye out for both locations. I'm assuming you mean the slave ship on the eastern side of the map that's near the Baron's fortress? The one Anna points out to you if you meet with her across from the crane?

I'll also keep my eye out for them to determine whether or not there are multiple places in the level where the toys can be found. I'm assuming you found the spots I noted AFTER finding the toys in the spots you mentioned which is why you found the hook but not the collectible.

It looks like there may be multiples of these scattered around the map. In Volga I found the fish hanging in the little hideout that's in the railway overpass near Duke's hideout. When I went to the one in the guide it wasn't there since I had already picked one up.

There is a way easier location for the "Sun" toy on Caspian. Once you go up the lighthouse to meet Guil for the first time, before going back down her boat lift thing, in her bedroom upstairs the toy is hanging around the bed.

@ME3TSPINNER
after seeing your pictures,
now believe that each player `will / may / can' find the toys in random locations.
may discover an empty hook where others have found a toy.

sneeky developers are trying to get us to explore more

Update: Yep, it glitched. Be careful with this. Probably added 15 hours onto my time now.

Went to the location this guide originally stated, and the Sun collectible was there. I died as I was collecting it due to a glitch despawning all my weapons, and my tracker didn't go up. Since been to both the oasis, ship and lighthouse spawn points on restart, and the sun collectible has not been at either, just hooks.

If this has glitched, that is two new playthroughs as collectibles are permanent and I'll have to wipe my save, THEN get NG+...

I could not find the Sun toy in the spot I originally posted where people reporting they'd seen it, and I scoured the area. I think someone may have confused the sun toy with those blue dreamcarcher/windchime noisemakers that are around that area.

I did find another spot that has it and I've edited the solution to include it. It's a little out of the way, but you only have to kill a few spiders to get it rather than all the guys inside the slave ship. Just so it's clear, no offense meant to LEMON at all and thanks again for your help and suggestions.

The solution of ME3TSPINNER is perfect but I've uploaded a video for those who prefer a visual guide.

1st toy: VOLGA
2nd toy: CASPIAN
3rd toy: TAIGA

This achievement can only be unlocked while playing on New Game + so should be done in conjunction with "Mutation" and "Iron Mode". The three items in question are visible in a normal playthrough however they can't be interacted with. The pictures below will detail their location and the level they can be collected on;

Fish - The Volga. The Fish can be found in the final room of the mission where you collect the trolley that is used to move the rail car, in the same room where you kill the Catfish. The fish will be hanging from the hook in the picture below:


Sun - The Caspian. The Sun can be found in a room inside a ship that houses a friendly NPC. You are unlikely to explore this area on your own since it is out of the way from all of the main missions in this level, however you can run straight to it after gaining control of your character. Make your way into the ship from the broken half way point, then through the dark room full of spiders and up a ladder., through a door in front and turn right to find it on a shelf. The location of the ship in question:



The Sun will be hanging from the hook in the picture below:


Teddy Bear - The Taiga. The Teddy Bear can be found in a school at the beginning of the Taiga level. After acquiring the Crossbow, go through the gate in front and turn right and go across the bridge. At the other side of the bridge turn right again and go left past the statue that you need to destroy for "Decommunization" and then into the building on your right. In here, turn right again and go into the back room, then left in this room to find the Teddy Bear hanging from a hook next to the window:

Note: There are multiple locations for each item during their listed Chapter

Fish is during VOLGA
Sun is during CASPIAN
Bear is during TAIGA.

Once you have picked up a collectible, it saves automatically like the ones in the main game.

  • Fish
It is located in the Volga location under the bridge, which is not far from the old gas station. Hangs on the middle pillar to the left of the entrance.




  • Sun
Located in the Caspian location at the Gul lighthouse. Having gone up to her lighthouse, we go upstairs, where her bed is, and there will be a sun hanging at the head of the bed.




  • bear
At the Taiga location, when we look into the Admiral’s “cabin” according to the plot, he will have a map hanging behind his back, and on it there will be a toy.

The bear can be found earlier at the taiga level.
After you have passed the Lenin statue, enter the first building on the right hand, turn right and go to the pioneer room, there, to the left to the window on the windowsill of which lies a teddy bear, 3 toy trophies will hang above it.

In fact, toys in each location are located in at least 3 places. If you didn’t pick them up somewhere, it is possible to find them in the same chapter, but in a different place. If they have already been picked up, then they disappear in other places. Just search on YouTube if you have passed some place where you can no longer return. The toys are located 1) at the beginning of each chapter, 2) in some place in the plot (if you missed it, you can’t go back there), 3) and in another place where you can go at will. Personally, this saved me from replaying chapters.

If you missed a toy, download the location and pick it up. Only download after beating the game.

"Sun"
At the “Caspian” level, when Artyom is at the Gul lighthouse, you need to find a bed, at the head of which the toy will hang.

"Bear"
At the “Taiga” level, when Artyom looks into the Admiral’s “cabin”, find a map behind his back - a toy hangs on it.
