How to unlock the Homecoming achievement in Minecraft Dungeons - Definitive Guide

The Homecoming achievement in Minecraft Dungeons requires 3 items, patience, and a bit of RNG luck.

REQUIRED ITEMS
***Unique Varients Do NOT count towards achievements!***

1. Spelunker Armor (Bat) - Found in Cactus Canyon or your Camp Merchants

2. Tasty Bone Artifact (Wolf) - Found in Creeper Woods or Camp Merchants

3. Soul Lantern Artifact (Soul Entity) - Found in Cactus Canyon, SoulSand Vally Secret Level, or Camp Merchants

ANCIENT HUNT - DO NOT WASTE ENCHANTMENT POINTS (Progress will go up regardless if the Ancient appears!)

Now Equip the items and start up an Ancient Hunt, your gonna be looking for three different areas. The RNG is really bad, it might take several tries to even see any one of the areas your looking for.

***You could potentially get the correct areas several times without getting the location you need, there's several Spawn variations of each level.***

LOCATIONS

***Standing in close Proximity to these locations was
enough to trigger the Progression for the Bat, however some reported that the Wolf and Soul needed activation of the Artifact.***

WOLF - In the Creeper Woods area towards the very end theres a Portal or Gate Door to end the area, go just past it and look for a Wolf Den in the Rocks (You can hear Wolves Howling when close and can see 2 Wolves inside the Den) - 33% Progression

BAT - In the Spider area about halfway start looking for a Rock Cave (Lots of Bats will fly out when your close, it looks more like a curved rock wall) - 33% Progression

https://www.trueachievements.com/gamescreenshot.aspx?gsid=49...

SOUL ENTITY - In the SoulSand Vally area towards the middle or end depending on your spawns your looking for a room with Screaming SoulSand faces on the wall. (Room has walls built out of SoulSand and blue flames in 3 of the 4 corners)- 33% Progression

Well, you need a chance for them to appear or you can't start the hunt. But the chance can be as low as you want (I think the minimum is 46 or 48%? Don't remember now).

@SiegfriedX - I don't really know because I had all the items equipped and made sure to activate my artifacts. I wasn't risking it because getting the locations to spawn was a pain.

Here's the bat cave if anyone else is interested.
https://www.trueachievements.com/gamescreenshot.aspx?gsid=49...
It's not very distinct but hope this helps. I found it twice it looks like this every time to me. it shoots out 5 bats once but is multiple use for achieve progress.
I would also like to state difficulty makes no difference I did all mine on adventure 1 sprinting like a mad man.

I found the soul one not even close to the end, so for those of you still looking for it I suggest to search the entire area. Just a little advice, don’t know if you want to put it in the guide. Spent the last 2 days looking for it and it ended up right next to the entrance.

I have the spelunker equipped and got the bat flying with me and I've found bats on the spider cave in multiple locations, the forest level (wolf level) near the beginning, and the level with the mansion, before you enter there is a bridge and bats spawn. My tracker just won't move. :( It's the bats 100% as I saw my tracker move immediatly after finding the wolves and the ghosty thingy. I also made sure to find the wolves and ghost multiple times after to see if that popped the Achievement but nothing. Just really buggy I guess, just no matter how many bats I find (on the spider level) it won't unlock. For anyone wondering, I found the bats immediatly upon entering the level. Like 5 steps to the edge is a brick wall and bats spawn there.

@Siegfried: agree 100%, game is hella boring and repetitive. Worst thing is you have to use your XP levels / enchantment points to boost your ancient chance, and then you find nothing. Grinding grinding grinding the same lame levels only to find a shitty wooden stick with power 201 so you have to ditch a great 195 power weapon, otherwise you just never end up finding higher gear. ... rant over :p

There's a lot of places where bats fly around. As far as I know, those don't count. You have to find what's supposed to be their lair, hence a location for all 3 animals. It has to be that wall in a corner of the level (or a variation if that exists). Bats flying around are only scenery and don't help at all. It' RNG inside another RNG. Sucks.

And the wolf is so fucking easy. Seems lole the cave always spawns in the forest level. But the bats has to be a rare event in order to keep us grinding this game...

Not sure about why some people seem to be having so much trouble, but super easy for me. Got it in 2 hunts. The key, for me, was to have the achv tracker turned on, with this achv as a "favorite" (so it shows up at 0 progress). Once I knew I was in the right spot, just spawn wolf and ghost guy and see if progress is made. If not, double check if your bat pet is on screen. Mone kept dying/disappearing, so I swapped armor and swapped back, then bat returned and progress increased. Got Spider map on one hunt, then 2nd was actually spider area, soulsand, then creeper, and I got the final 2 in the one hunt.

Also...if you are worried about "wasting" enchantment points, there are two methods to make it easier. Play coop and take turns starting the hunt (only one player contribites)...or, best of all, bring in a guest, run a mission to get gear (level 100+), then spend the guest's enchantment points. Start the mission, then either run it with 2p (double chance for unique gilded), or drop the guest out and run it solo, with all the benefits of using max enchantment points.

@ScuzzyBunny - You can also make a clone of your character from the main menu and play on your clone/spend enchantment points. This way you don't need to touch your points on your main character and still get maximum anchient spawn percentage.

@Defested - They do not need to be in the same run, if your tracker only says 33% then you'll need to redo one of the ones you did. Make sure your not using the Unique version of Spelunker Armor as that one doesn't count.

Around 40 runs with 25-33% containing the Soul Sand biome and only one of those contained said room with the screaming faces.

RNG is bad bad bad on this one. It's not just the repetition that's annoying, it's the gear sacrifices for these 3 stupid totally inconsequential rooms.

All around nice update, but this one achievement is personally unnecessary.

Not sure if this is useful or not, but in the guide for the Bat and Soul Entity advises that these are in the middle or the area. I have just done a run and both of these were at the end of me and I didn't have to enter a door or anything, it was just part of the map as normal. Might be worth nothing since I have done over 15 runs for these to finally have them.

After about 50 runs, I finally got a bat cave to appear. Then it didn't register I was in it. I had regular Spelunker Armor, my bat was still alive, and a ton of bat's flew out of the area. It looked exactly like the pic in the solution. I tried killing myself, entering and exiting doors, and going back through portals. Nothing worked. I've got to find this thing again 😑

Update:

I found another bat cave and used a different piece of Spelunker Armor, still not registering. I'm wondering if there is some glitchyness to this like you can't do the bat cave last or something stupid like that. Anyone else having issues getting any of the 3 to register. I'm playing on Apocalypse +10. Not sure if difficulty matters.

A pointer on the Soul Entity part of this achievement:
I had found the room in the Soul Sand Valley and the SE was the last one I had to get but the achievement just wouldn’t unlock.
I was frustrated with it so I got up from my desk to get a coffee and when I returned about 5 minutes later, the achievement was suddenly unlocked. My guess is, that it is somewhat buggy and waiting at one of the locations until it pops is your best bet.
And I’d have the achievement tracker on, makes it a whole lot easier to check on your progress.

After many tries I thought this would be another bugged achievement, because I could not get the Soul Lantern room to work. Okay, here is it:
Trigger the Soul Lantern before you enter the room. Or trigger inside and leave the room and re-enter.
To trigger the Sand Valley themed dungeon where you can find the Soul Room, you need to setup your Ancient Hunt to a "Tusk" hunt. Happy hunting.

I don’t think this is RNG. So far I have killed 20 different Ancients. When going for a specific Ancient I got the same areas. If you load it up with many different Ancients then it will pick 3 areas at random.

So now I just need to figure out which Ancient has the Soul Sand area.

After completing 25 Ancient Hunts and getting Soul Valley only twice (with no Soul Sand) I used just 3 runes (AZZ) for Thundering Growth. I did this twice and both times got Soul Valley as the first area, and finally got the achievement. Could be luck, but should be worth a try.

Sounds like Unstoppable Tusk (nTH) is also in Soul Valley.

Got the Soul and percent went up, Found the Wolf but got no percent when my friend did in the same spot (I was host), found the Bat cave and percent went up. So I'm only missing the Wolf which is the most common luckily but no matter what it won't give me the achievement.

Tried getting the wolf cave with a friend Hosting, with me playing solo offline, with a new character, tried getting it on PC, etc.
Tried many different things and I'm still just stuck at 66%. angry

The wolf will always be at the end of the Creeper woods area.
The bat would never track until the bat went INSIDE the cave and starting flying in circles.
and the soul lantern one was random for me, just keep an eye out for the soul sand on the walls. laugh

The Wolf and Bat were super easy for me, I saw both 10+ times without any soul map even appearing. After I got the 15 different Ancient mobs, I just had this achievement left.

I almost never 'sacrified' any soul related items before (and there was no mention here that items sacrified are related to the biomes that appear). However, as I just had this achievement left. I sacrificed 3 Soul Related items, and the Soul Biome was the very first biome in the hunt (with the room also being there).

This could be a coincidence, but if you have trouble getting the soul map to appear, try sacrificing soul related items and see if it helps.

I found the wolf every time I've gotten creeper woods. I just got the soul entity without the room that has screaming soul faces on the walls. I just went back through every room with the soul entity. Disclaimer maybe my camera angle on this load in wouldn't let me see the soul faces. I don't have many complaints about this game but it's stupid that you can't rotate the camera.

Yeah Soul Entity room didn't have any faces for me. I got all of them by summoning the pet when I found the area (or in the case of the soul lantern, taking a guess at the right room) so you don't have to run around with all 3 of them active 24/7.

This is just stupid. I have found the bat map 4 times already without the stupid bat cave. This is a random occurance on an already random chance of getting the right map.

This DLC is just a HUGE pain in the ass to complete. I also just finished my third run in a row, always with an average of 1 ancient in the run and found none. What kind of retarded average is this?

Game is still very very repetitive and limited and their solution to change this is to make us grind the same levels over and over and over again for achievements. Two days in a row playing with my girlfriend and we are not even at 50% ancients killed for the achievement.

Fially found the bat area with my gf just now. Pain in the ass. Wolf seems to be present every single time you get the forest level, so it's no issue at all.

You have to be pretty close to the wall for it to count. You can also just have the armor in your inventory and just equip it when you find the area (that's what my gf did). So you can have low level armor and artifacts and keep rolling with your normal gear until you find the spot.

Finally got the bat, and it looks like only the rare Spelunker counts. If you use the unique version Cave Crawler (that also spawns a bat) it doesn't count. Kinda like the emerald armor Achievement where only using the rare version works, not the unique variant.

I don't know if it helps anyone but here's my screenshot... it's past the point where you have to destroy the 4 spawnpoints to open the gate - https://www.trueachievements.com/gamescreenshot.aspx?gsid=50...

And I know it's not necessary to use enchantment points, but when you put in 4 unique things and end up with a 46% chance and 0,6 average ancients, it's hardly worth it going through 3 dungeons.

Now just the wait for the 2nd of the month :)

After 30+ runs of not getting the Bat cave to spawn, I actually got 2 of them right next to each other in the end! Both had bats coming out of them. RNG do be like that.

Proof that I was in one bat cave and left it to discover another one right beside it. Neither triggered the achievement. Forever stuck at 66% I guess.

Final update:

Finally got this to pop. I decided to redo the first 2 sections as a test and when I re-did the wolf den, the achievement popped. Not sure how this happened or worked because the wolf den was the first area I did ant the tracker went up 33% as I completed it.

I guess just redo them all if you have issues getting the achievement to unlock.

Finally got the achievement to unlock. Similar to Printmatic above I know which location didn't count for me (wolf) as I got percent from both other locations. However trying to visit the Wolf den again in various ways/methods never worked. In the many attempts of retrying for the Wolf to trigger I found the soul place many times and a batcave once or twice but I dont think it was the Batcave that counts. I say that because yesterday when getting the actual batcave again my achievement unlocked.

Idk if it triggered because I found all 3 locations again in general or if it was the fact that I actually found all 3 locations Yesterday in one session of 2-3 hunts. But regardless this is just info for future people who potentially might also have this issue.

https://screenshotscontent-t2001.xboxlive.com/xuid-2533....PNG I’ll add mine to the lot. Took easily 20+ runs of the soul sand area to get the room to spawn.

Was going to make this a separate solution, but its probably better here:

Even with the images, I had a tough time identifying the Bat Cave and the Soul Sand locations. To find these, here's a more detailed description of what to look for:

The Soul Sand cave (for the Soul Lantern): What you're looking for is a cul-du-sac that has no enemies and no items in it (save for a possible emerald jar). All three sides of the cul-du-sac need to be populated entirely by soul sand (light gray block with little screaming faces on it). If you can't see the third wall of the cul-du-sac, you can at least see the top, and the light grey color should match the grey color of the other two walls.

Note: Unlike the wolf den, its possible for this structure to not appear in a level. Its also possible for more than one of these cul-du-sacs to appear in one level (I had two in the level I got my achievement on). My crude estimation is that it appears about half the time.

If you see soul sand other places, say in hallways or near doors, this is NOT what you're looking for. It will always be an empty cul-du-sac.

The Bat Cave (for the Spelunker Armor): What your looking for is a crescent shaped "stone" structure that appears at the end of a jetty. You will KNOW it when you find it, as bats STREAM out (its not one or two bats, its like six or eight). The cave will not appear near doors or on larger "stone" structures in the level, nor on "islands", nor pathways. Its always a crescent structure on a jetty.

Again, there will be tons of bats streaming out, leaving you no doubt you found it.

It took me EIGHT attempts through the Spider caves to find one, so obviously this doesn't always appear (and I saw a video of someone who spawned two in a level, so like the Soul Sand cave, you can have more than one in a level). Can't even guess the percentage of this appearing, but I'm guessing its fairly low (25% maybe)?

Souls on the wall took me 15 different Soul Sand levels over 4 days of Ancient Hunting 😭 kept seeing them all over the ground, but RNG was a cruel mistress with spawning them on the wall. Thanks for the Screen Shot 🤘🏻 +1

Can someone please explain to me what I'm supposed to look for when on a souls level?

This is, by far, the best solution for this cheesemint. I was really struggling with even knowing where to begin looking for the soul entity area. Pictures are a godsend with helping. Thank you.
Thumbs up from me.

Tenho o video com os locais exatos de cada animal. para encontrar os locais são aleatórios mas os locais que ficam cada animal não muda e o que pode mudar é o lado que fica o mapa, também colocarei um link do vídeo que fiz mostrando os locais!

SOUL:
I followed advice of an earlier post that suggested the offering of soul items and immediately spawned the “Soul dungeon” which included a wall with the souls on it. I’ve only tried this once so it may just be coincidence, but definitely worth a shot.
The downside is I was unable to make anything trigger with with the activation of the Soul Lantern in that room. Any suggestions?



BAT:
The upside, a connector room had a bridge which three bats flew out from underneath. I equipped Spelunker Armor and upon reaching the bridge, my Bat made a noise or two and then started doing backflips.
I haven’t seen other posts mentioning pets reacting so I’m unsure if it’s related.
Another plus to the Bat discovery is that there are at least two areas where it can be completed.


(I have screenshots but am having some difficulties loading them.)

Acquire the following before you attempt this in Ancient Hunts:

Spelunker Armor - Cacti Canyon, Redstone Mines, Lost Settlement, Windswept Peaks, The Stronghold, Merchants
Tasty Bone - Creeper Woods, Creepy Crypt, Redstone Mines, Dingy Jungle, Broken Citadel, Merchants
Soul Lantern - Creepy Crypt, Cacti Canyon, Underhalls, Soul Sand Valley, Merchants

You don't need to have them all equipped at once, but it helps if they're boosted for the difficulty and level you choose to run in. What you're looking for are distinct tilesets within three different maps, and the map rotation is truly random. With these three items in hand, set up an Ancient Hunt and dive on in. Each hunt will have three maps available, so if you don't get it by the start of the third map, just return to camp and start another hunt.

1) Bat
Area: Spider Cave (distinct map tile)
First, this area is a unique map that has its own sub-mission set with destroying egg clutches. If you look up at the sub-mission, it will say Spider Cave underneath it. While wearing the Spelunker Armor, run through this area until you come across an empty door cave (a spot where you'd normally find an Ancient Door, but this one doesn't). If you approach it, you should find a swarm of bats flapping away from it. If you had the bat out and near you when this happens, that should count, as there are no other indicators of things that you need to do beyond that.

2) Wolf
Area: Creeper Woods (not labelled as such)
This area is not in a unique sub-mission area, so just keep an eye on what map you come into. A pale blue light upon the grass, some spider webbing, but for the most part it'll be familiar to the first level you would've participated in. What you're looking for here is a similar empty door spot down one of the dead ends where you find a cave set with wolves within. Spawn your wolf here and just wait around a few seconds to get it to count. Out of the many times I ran hunts, I only got this map four times and only had the wolf tile appear half that.

3) Soul
Area: Soul Sand Valley (not labelled as such)
Another similar tileset like the woods that does not have unique sub-missions to them, but stands out with skeletal remains and blue flames flickering. Now, the challenge here is twofold: you should probably have several soul items equipped to help with soul collecting, and you're looking for one distinct set of tiles within the dead ends you'll come across. As an example, sometimes as you're walking through this map you'll see some odd, irregular earth tiles with "faces" on them. This is, if you haven't played enough of Minecraft like myself, Soul Sand, and the other earth tiles are Soul Dirt. What you're looking for in a dead-end is a collective of Soul Sand screaming face tiles along the wall. It won't be along the main path, so make sure you take detours as needed and checking your map. The moment you find a room with Soul Sand on the walls, get near it and summon your soul.

I went back and forth worrying about not getting the bat or soul marks, since we don't have a tracker available, and the soul's wall condition seems to be the hardest.

First, you'll need to following gear and artifacts to have these pets with you:
 
  • Spelunker Armor (Bat) - Found in Cactus Canyon or purchased from Camp Merchants
  • Tasty Bone Artifact (Wolf) - Found in Creeper Woods or purchased from Camp Merchants
  • Soul Lantern Artifact (Soul Entity) - Found in Cactus Canyon, Soulsand Valley Secret Level, or purchased from Camp Merchants
Next, you'll need to play a lot of Ancient Hunts. Ancient Hunt maps are built from generated areas of all the other levels in the game. You will need RNG to be on your side as you will need to have specific areas and locations spawn on your Ancient Hunt run. It is possible for the correct area to spawn, but not the specific location.
 
  • Wolf - In the Creeper Woods area, pass the portal and look for a Wolf Den in the rocks. You should hear wolves howling and see some wolves inside/on the rocks just outside the area. Make sure to use your Tasty Bone to spawn in your wolf when close to this location! 
  • Bat - In the Spider area, look for a cave you can enter. Bats should fly out if it is the correct location. Head inside with your bat to count this as done! 
  • Soul Entity - In the Soulsand Valley area, you should find a room made of soulsand with faces on it. There will be blue flame torches in each corner of the room. Head inside with your soul entity and you should be all done!
Remember, it is completely up to the RNG if these areas and locations are apart of your Ancient Hunt, so stay patient and persistent.
