How to unlock the Pet Collector achievement in Terraria - Definitive Guide

*As of March 27th, 2023*

The below pets are the only ones needed for the Xbox One Version of this game. I just unlocked it. The other guides have either old information or information for the Xbox 360 Version of the game which is different in many ways from Xbox One. Remove any pets you have equipped. Put the pets in your top bar and hit use. The icon will show in the top left that the pet is active. Then move on to the next pet. I gathered them all and used them in the order below.

FOUND PETS
1. Amber Mosquito - Baby Dinosaur - ONLY received as output from using Extractinator. The Extractinator takes slush or silt blocks and can ONLY be found in Underground chests.
2. Fish - Baby Penguin - ONLY found in Ice Chests in a Snow Biome.
3. Seaweed - Turtle - ONLY found in Ivy Chests in the Underground Jungle (Shrines and Mahogany Trees).
4. Tartar Sauce - Mini Minotaur - ONLY found in as item from using Iron Crates, which can be obtained through Fishing.
5. Zephyr Fish - Flying Zephyr Fish - ONLY obtained from Fishing as a random item.

DROPPED PETS (from bosses or creatures)
6. Toy Sled - Baby Snowman - Dropped by Ice Mimic in a Snow Biome.
7. Eater's Bone - Baby Eater of Souls - Dropped by Eater of Worlds.
8. Nectar - Baby Hornet - Dropped by Queen Bee.
9. Lizard Egg - Lizard - Dropped from Lihzahrds or Flying Snakes found in the Jungle Temple (available after killing Plantera).
10. Seedling - Seedling - Dropped by Plantera.
11. Eye Spring - Eyeball Spring - Dropped by Eyezor, which only spawns during a Solar Eclipse.
12. Bone Key - Baby Skeletron Head - Dropped by the Dungeon Guardian. This must be obtained in a world before defeating Skeletron as the Dungeon Guardians will no longer spawn when you break the curse.

SEASONAL PETS
13. Cursed Sapling - Cursed Sapling - Rare drop from Mourning Wood. Mourning Wood spawns in Wave 5 and after during a Pumpkin Moon Event.
14. Spider - Spider Egg - Rare drop from Pumpking. Pumpking spawns during the Pumpkin Moon Event. The Pumpkin Moon can be spawned any night with a Pumpkin Moon Medallion. The Medallion is made from 30 pumpkins, 5 Ectoplasm, and 10 Hallowed Bars. The later the wave that you kill the Pumpking the higher chance it has to drop the Spider Egg.
15. Baby Grinch Mischief's Whistle - Baby Grinch - Dropped by Ice Queen after Round 15 in Frost Moon Event. The Frost Moon can be summoned by using a Naughty Present during any night.

PURCHASED PETS
16. Tiki Totem - Tiki Spirit - Sold by Witch Doctor for 2 platinum coins when his house is in a Jungle Biome
17. Strange Glowing Mushroom - Baby Truffle - Sold by Truffle for 45 gold. You must create a Mushroom Biome above ground to get him to move in and sell items.
18. Parrot Cracker - Parrot - Sold by Pirate for 3 platinum coins when his house is in an Ocean Biome.

I just popped the achievement by getting the Baby Snowman despite never getting the Baby Grinch. Those were the last 2 on my list, so I'm thinking the Baby Grinch isn't needed.

"... I'm thinking the Baby Grinch isn't needed." 1000% false. Just spent the better part of three days grinding the Frost Moon event to get the damn thing to drop. It damn well is necessary for the achievement.

Having just slogged through the grind for all of these pets over the last couple days and finally unlocking the last achievement, I feel the need to pay forward all the help I received from various Terraria content creators for providing seeds and other information, making the whole process much faster.

If anyone is interested I will be setting up a world on Journey difficulty containing all the pets, armour sets, crafting stations and components for the Zenith and Terraspark Boots.
Send me a message on Xbox Live and we can work out a time that suits us both.

All provided gear is accurate as of the 2nd of May 2022

My GT is: masterelliot994

For this one, I needed to equip the pet - having them all in my inventory and then in a chest did not pop the achievement.

Can confirm the above list is correct, but wanted to add a few things:

The Amber Mosquito can also be found by putting Desert Fossil (a block type found in the Underground Desert) into the Extractinator, the wiki says that the Desert Fossil has a slightly higher chance of getting the Amber as well.

The Fish for the Baby Penguin and the Seaweed for the Turtle can both be fished for, they can be found within the biome crates you fish up. You need to fish for the Tartar Sauce and Zephyr Fish anyway so might as well work on them at the same time by fishing in the jungle or ice biomes.

Finally, I would strongly suggest going for these in a Journey world. The ability to be invincible, manipulate time, increase/decrease spawn rates and duplicate any item you want makes a huge difference for getting the pets. You can even duplicate the biome crates you fish up, which makes getting all the "found" pets trivial, besides the Zephyr and at least you can give yourself infinite bait and turn off enemies.
And best of all, it seems that found/used pets are saved to account rather than specific characters. I didn't get the Seedling from Plantera or do any of the seasonal stuff with my Journey character (but had got them with my Classic character) and the achievement still popped when I got the final one.

It looks like the Fish can also drop from Frozen and Boreal Crates (5%), making it trivial to find if you are in Journey mode and can fish up 5 of those crates to research (at which point you have unlimited crates to open).

(Collectible)

There are 27 pets in the game but only 24 of those are required for this trophy. The pets summoned by the Dog Whistle, Magical Pumpkin Seed and Unlucky Yarn are not required. Finding the pet items is not enough as you also have to summon the pets at least once. It's recommended to wait a few seconds in between summoning the pets since it has been reported that this trophy is a bit glitchy.

Below is a list of the 24 pet items that need to be collected and used:

Pre-Hard Mode:

 

  • Amber Mosquito: Rarely obtained from the Extractinator.
  • Beeswax: Note that this item was originally named Honeycomb but the name was changed in the 1.02 patch. Found in chests in the Underground Jungle and can also be dropped by Dragon Hornets (Underground Jungle).
  • Bone Key: Random drop from the Dungeon Guardian which shows up when you try to enter the Dungeon without killing Skeletron first.
  • Brain: Randomly found in Gold Chests and Shadow Chests. Since the 1.02 patch it can also be found in Lihzahrd Chests (Jungle Temple) and is dropped by The Groom (only spawns during Blood Moon events).
  • Cabbage: Randomly found in Chests and Gold Chests. Since the 1.02 patch it can also be dropped by Dragon Snatchers (Jungle).
  • Eater's Bone Random drop from Eater of Worlds.
  • Fish: Randomly found inside Ice Chests (Underground Snow).
  • Nectar: Random drop from Queen Bee.
  • Petri Dish: Randomly found in Gold and Ice Chests, and can also dropped by Shadow Slimes (Corruption biomes) during Hardmode.
  • Seaweed: Rarely found inside Ivy Chests in Jungle Shrines (Underground Jungle).
  • Vial of Blood: Randomly found in Gold Chests and can also be dropped by Vampire Miners (Cavern layer).
  • Tartar Sauce: Rarely obtained from Iron Crates (found by fishing).
  • Toy Sled: Random drop from Ice Mimics (Snow biomes).
  • Wolf Fang: Randomly found in Gold Chests and can also be dropped by Werewolves (only spawn during Full Moon events in Hardmode).
  • Zephyr Fish: Rare chance to catch while fishing. Increasing your fishing power will increase your chances of catching it. Using a Sonar Potion while fishing is highly recommended.


Hard Mode:

 

  • Baby Grinch Mischief's Whistle: Random drop from Ice Queens during the Frost Moon event.
  • Cursed Sapling: Random drop from Mourning Woods during the Pumpkin Moon event.
  • Eye Spring: Random drop from Eyezors that only spawn during a Solar Eclipse (Hardmode event).
  • Lizard Egg: Random drop from Flyings Snakes and Lihzarhds (Jungle Temple).
  • Parrot Cracker: Sold by the Pirate NPC when he is in an Ocean biome.
  • Seedling: Random drop from Plantera.
  • Spider Egg: Random drop from Pumpkings during the Pumpkin Moon event.
  • Strange Glowing Mushroom: Sold by the Truffle NPC.
  • Tiki Totem: Sold by the Witch Doctor NPC when he is in a Jungle biome during Hardmode.
