How to unlock the Psychometry achievement in Prey - Definitive Guide

Not a proper guide, but some tips to help you out with this achievement.

- This achievement unlocked at around 65 Transcribes for me, there are well over 65 Transcribes available in the game.

- For them to count, you must listen to the Transcribe. Navigate to (DATA > AUDIO LOGS) and listen to each audio log for at least a few seconds.

- An easy way to find some Transcribes is by using a Security Terminal to track people. Most employees have a Transcribe on or near their body.

Here is a list of all (known) Transcribes:

You should see a Derelict Shuttle which will be marked by a green dot floating around.

You may need to explore a bit as it is a little far out, it is surrounded in yellow coral so you should spot it. The green marker won't show until you are fairly close.

Does anybody know exactly how many transcribes need to be listened to? I've heard that there only needs to be about 60 found, and the achievement pops early. Any feed back is appreciated.

Don't go nuts trying to find all of them because it definitely unlocks at 65 TranScribe Messages listened to. I still had several marked with the ! left on my list and hadn't even collected the final ones from Alex and Morgan yet.

TranScribe recordings are audiologs, usually found near bodies. Picking them up is not enough, you also have to listen to them. Sometimes picking up a TranScribe will give you two, so make sure to listen to both.

Note: There is some room for error in this achievement. It will unlock early before you have found all of them.

Transcriptors and audio recordings on terminals count, you need about 60-65 (I didn’t look at the exact number, at the time of writing the hint it was 72. But there are more of them in the game.), and listen to messages on them. The statistics show the exact number.

finding several transcripts at a time, you may encounter the fact that sometimes some do not count, even if you listened to them; towards the end of the game, compare the number found with the number in the statistics

You need to listen to 65 audio recordings, some that have not been listened to, if you haven’t scrolled through them, will have exclamation marks in the “Data” -> “Audio Diaries” submenu, you can also listen to everything there, if suddenly some have not been listened to or have been scrolled through.

For the trophy, it is enough to listen to 65 recordings, and NOT ALL , as indicated in the description.
