Updates
update October 18, 2021: The long wait is over; patch 3 (version 4.2.4.0) has been released on Xbox and it finally fixes the achievement!Playthroughs started before patch 3
If you have a save with a fully filled Codex prior to this patch, you only need to switch to a second character - make one if you don't have it - and then switch back to your main character. For me, it unlocked on the main menu but I did try to load up my character before switching, so you may need to load up your save to trigger it.Additionally, I found that the patch adds one (so far) additional codex entry, i.e. Habnet Technology under Manufacturers, which will be added when you obtain an additional Habnet item (e.g. Habdefender PPW from the weapons vendor). For many players, including myself, it does not seem to be necessary to unlock the achievement (at least not retroactively). However, if it does not unlock, you can try to buy the Habdefender PPW from a weapon vendor to add the new codex entry and then switch between characters on the main menu as Goatsaresuper commented below.
New playthroughs after patch 3 only
The codex has been changed for new playthroughs after the patch. Now, the codex has two extra categories, Factions and Species, and extra codex entries are added to Locations. These codex entries are added automatically at the start of the game, and I have included this information in the main part of the guide.Additionally, this achievement will now reportedly unlock much earlier in new playthroughs, well before filling the Codex or completing the story (thanks Owen Poff and Hieronimus). I don't know if this is intentional or whether this will be fixed in future patches, so pick up all codex entries just to be sure.
Previous updates are under here for brevity
update October 7, 2021: Patch 3 is now live on Steam which should fix this achievement, but the first comments are not promising. Let's hope for the best when it hits Xbox and Windows Store.
update September 30, 2021: The devs put out a statement on Steam suggesting that the next patch will include the fix for this achievement (among others) and should be "deployed shortly". The new Xbox version will probably be released sometime after that, like all previous patches (thanks OniAegis).
update September 3, 2021: Patch 2 (version 3.0.6.0) is now available on all platforms, but unfortunately does not include a fix for this achievement. The devs reconfirmed in the patch notes that they are working on a fix and that the achievement will unlock retroactively (thanks UnmatchedBrace).
update August 19, 2021: Patch 1 (version 2.1.4.0) has been released which I assume coincides with a previous Steam update. Despite that the patch seems to fix the other Codex-related achievement Flatliner*, this achievement remains unobtainable and we will have to wait for the next patch.
* only if you were missing the last enemy Codex entry related to the game's final boss.
update August 12, 2021: I get many questions and comments about the patch, so I thought I would give some extra info. As of now, the latest patch for the game is not yet published (current version: 2.0.5.0) as it still needs to be approved by Microsoft (source). We won't know for certain which of the issues will be fixed by this patch until it is live (Steam patch notes), but it seems like that could be very soon. The patch after that will fix the broken achievements (source). Additionally, I am aware of the 0.01% of players that unlocked the Codex achievements on Xbox. This could indicate the patch will fix these due to internal testing, but we have to wait and see if this is indeed the case. I will update the solution when I know more.
update August 3, 2021: AchievingOutlaw got in touch with the developers who told him that they will verify if everything can be unlocked as intended and if not - patch it asap. So for now we still need to have a bit of patience for a potential fix, but the good news is that they will investigate this.
Original notes:
At this moment it is unclear if it's possible to unlock this achievement or how. I thought it would be helpful to get a list of Codex entries for people to compare to figure out what (if anything) is missing. I have completed the main and side missions, but only filled 86% of the Codex including 96% of the enemy Codex entries (as far as the progress bar is concerned). I assume the tutorial is filled automatically, so I have omitted that part.
Edit: As many have the same issue, we can safely assume that this achievement is unobtainable (or at least very buggy). For now, all we can do is wait for a fix.
Codex Entries
The codex is split into 8 sections, of which 3 are filled automatically at the start of the game, i.e. Tutorials, Factions, and Species. However, the sections Factions and Species are only present for new playthroughs after the release of patch 3 and are not required for previously started playthroughs. The entries of the remaining 5 sections are added during natural progression of the story and completing side missions. If you have completed all main and side missions, discovered the location Outskirts, and found equipment from all manufacturers, you should have all codex entries listed below and unlock the achievement.Locations (39) - (35 pre patch 3)
These codex entries are added when first entering these locations. If you have done all main and side missions you should have visited all locations except Outskirts, which is located east of Blossom Hills and north(east) of Black Lake Towers.Patch 3 adds 4 additional entries at the start of a new playthrough, and therefore will be missing (and not required!) when you've started your playthrough before the release of the patch.

On a good note they got the patch push to win10 pc properly executed this time 3.0.6.0 updated through the app without issue.
The saddest part about the whole thing is that this game was marketed as a co-op fun fest and that is the exact thing that broke most of the achievements for everyone.
I for one brought others in to the title specifically to play the game with friends. We did play through the entire game with each other however it created all kinds of issues and problems even outside of the failed achievements.
I really believe once they fix all these things this will be a wonderful co-op shooter. Hard to truly enjoy it when you are always being pulled out of immersion. Perhaps I should have waited 6 months just like with Cyberpunk to play it without issues.
Stuck at 86% and 96% now.
I have 83% and those 3 on your list is not in my list
Makes me think if the missing entries are also glitched and didn’t pop when we met the character that gives it
Ii found him again in scrapland at the end.
Yeah, it looks like some entries are bugged and don't register. Hopefully, a patch will fix this so we don't have to do a second full playthrough 🤞
Ii found him again in scrapland at the end.
yes it counts.
@WhyattThrash I think you should get Salucious D during one of the Casino Courier side missions.
yes it counts.

if anyone has any idea where they might be, would really appreciate it.
My question is about when it IS patched, will it retroactively award the necessary codex entries and hence chevos, or are we likely to have to replay certain scenarios to get them? That's really my only worry, should people we holding off playing it at all for the moment or do you think it's safe to finish the game and assume that when they patch it, it will correctly give chevos for codex entries already obtained / or that should have triggered to be obtained already?
I love the game but won't be playing through the whole game again just to get a few codex entries so please let that not be the case!
Edit : ok i found the codex entry, you don't need to get a gear, you must pick up the codex page itself on a dead ennemy.
The following summary covers the key areas we have addressed in this new major Patch update for The Ascent on Steam.
This update is now available for The Ascent on Steam, and the same patch will also be landing for Xbox and Windows 10 players shortly.

Fixed the issue where the Snooze Dealer’s Journal map icon was a white square.
Fixed damage scaling on the Pocket Mech minigun to make it more powerful as you level up.
Allows the use of certain augmentations while rolling.
Balanced cost/cooldown/efficiency of Life Transfer, Neutron Beam and Overclock

Translation (all platforms)
Lots of fixes have been made to address instances where English would appear instead of the correct language.
Further work is continuing to improve the quality of the translations as well as further general bug fixes.
Fixed an issue in Japanese where text overlapped in the intro cut-scene.
Assorted other fixes (all platforms)
Fixed an issue where sometimes in Dreamworld, shooting SFX without enemies being present could be heard.
Fixed an issue where the death-screen replaced the SFX & VO after defeating the Megarachnoid.

https://twitter.com/MageC_XboX/status/1423713794493198338?s=...
Completed all main and side mission, found all locations and so on.
But I am missing the Bios of Harlan and Kudo.
Is there any way to obtain them even after everything is done?
- it's a dev account
- it's a cheater
- Someone has found something nobody else have found
Flatliner and Comprehensive are currently broken.
.
Anyone else tired of developers releasing their broken/incomplete games, causing only frustration and headache for the paying gamer? You all should be.
I have little hope that ALIENS FIRETEAM will be released with no issues. I expect it to be derivative, and quickly become a grind. Of course, I'll still buy a copy. Urgh!
Hope a fix is in the works, seeing the 0,01% stat.
Hope they patch the cheevo soon
.
The current guide says "update 12-10-2021".
Is that Dec 10th 2021 or Oct 12 2021?
Either way it's an update from the future.
What are the next Lotto numbers, while you're at it?
Thanks from the past.
I'll buy us all a new game with my winnings.
Either way, I hope it will not take them that long to patch this game ;)
I loaded up my saved game and it automatically added the enemy codex entry and unlocked the achievement.
Comprehensive achievement is still not unlocked after getting Flatliner. My codex matches the authors list, with the addition of Interdimensional Calamity.
*Note* I am playing on PC/Steam
but nothing unlocked.
still missing :
- 438 hung
- Celine
Comprehensive = 85 %
Comprehensive = 86 % *no change after latest patch
Flatliner unlocked straight away for me
Here are my missing codex entries.
BIOS
Polter Dee
Salucious D
Twisty
Won Harting
Should I have these unlocked already, and where would I get them if not.
I will be waiting on the next update before grabbing them, just to be safe.
I don't have the side missions achievement so will probably have that done late today as well.
EDIT: 438 Hung is in my Codex under Bios, but not under enemies. Huh? This is definitely still broken and not tracking properly.
PATCH 2
August 27th / PATCH 2 deployed on Steam
This patch is currently in deployment process for Windows 10 and Xbox consoles. Thank you for your patience.
Achievements (all platforms)
Fixed an issue with the Achievement ‘Added Extras’
Fixed an issue with the Achievement ‘Aficionado’
Fixed an issue with the Achievement ‘Helping Hand’
Fixed an issue with the Achievement ‘Win’
Fixed an issue with the Achievement ‘Fair Trade’
Or just bugged?
We will see!
i also tried to buy every missing item( weapon, modul, perk, whatever) didnt do anything still on 86%. and i double checked - i have 100% of the codex entries.
!!!dAmN!!!
Really annoying as I've done all main and side missions so, according to other guides, I must have spoken to this character at some point
Mine is stuck at 86% too :(

.
Just checking in to see if this game fixed its achievement issues... NOPE! Ok, I'll check back in about a month.
Until then, I'll check ALIENS FIRETEAM because their achievements are glitched even worse than this game
Let's hope it will finally be fixed with the next patch!
I join the waiting team. :/
https://steamcommunity.com/app/979690/eventcomments/30798908...
They will release a hotfix asap.
This happend to me, joined a friend's new game and it overwrote my completed game. When i log in now, I am basically a max lvl character in a brand new game. I doubt this patch will give me my save back...
Nevertheless, if you want to check yourself, Kudo is located in the Golden Satori casino, near the bartender if I remember correctly.
Although the Flatliner achievement remains stuck at 96% with the 438 Hung entry missing
It's funny because now I have Comprehensive unlocked and Flatliner still missing lol
Though, it sucks that Flatliner is not fixed for those with missing codex entries. Seems strange that it is possible to unlock an achievement for getting all codex entries but not the one with only the enemy codex entries...
I only had 5 out of the 7 codes entries for the Manufacturers but it still unlocked.
@Goatsaresuper Thanks for the info, I will add it to the guide!
@Hooch Lee Were you missing Whisper Cybernetics and Habnet Technology? In that case, it kind of makes sense as these codex entries didn't unlock properly even when you did have equipment from those manufacturers.
Thanks anyway for the solution, Thumbs up from me :)
Awesome.
Onto the next...
Yeah, I think they just lowered the requirements, so everyone can unlock this achievement. It was probably easier to do than actually fix it, although that's just speculation from me. But like I said earlier, better that it unlocks prematurely than not at all.
Havoc - Enemie
but i completed the Game and have all Main and Side Missions
Havoc is a flying combat vehicle of sorts. I think it's one of the boss fights in the main missions, right?
The Ascent (Neon Giant) - Comprehensive
Mojang(MC Dungeons) - Gone Fishing
Alternatively, you can fill in their Google Form to submit any feedback, bugs or issues.
EDIT: Right after I typed this out, I went and bought the top 3 (Homing MIM, Hydraulic Slam and Lockon Fire) in the list and the codex entry unlocked, thanks!!
Now I just need to figure out how to get 438 Hung enemy entry and then hope like everyone else that they retroactively fix the achievements.
Hopefully the next patch fixes it, then bring on the DLC!

Edit: Now since the update i not even get progress for the 100x dying cheevo🤨 wtf?
Anyway just like others switching characters after updating to the new version: 4.2.4.0 allowed for the achievement to pop and finally claim my 100%. Thank you for fixing it Neon Giant.
Thanks for being the champion of The Ascent your caring dedication to providing information and supporting other players has been amazing. Keep up the awesome job. I am a little miffed by Flatliner still being wonky for some myself. Though I experienced the majority of the bugs reported across this game missing codex entry for Hung was never one of them.
I had neither the achievement for all enemies (84%) nor for all locations (72%)
EDIT:
Precise numbers:
Locations: 31 of 39
Lore: 19 of 20
Bios: 22 of 50
Manufacturers: 7 of 7
Enemies: 27 of 32
So yeah if there's any logic to this I don't see it, know I had all manufactures for awhile before it popped & that's the only one that's full so maybe now you only need to get a certain percentage of them 🤷 IDK
