The Callisto Protocol has 43 Bios collectibles found throughout the 8 chapters of the game.

This game does not have Chapter Select or New Game +, which means all collectibles in this game are 100% missable. If you miss something, you'll need to either go back using an auto save or manual save, or replay the entire game a second time.

There is also one noted collectible as glitchy, and it should be checked on a few times during chapter 4 to make sure it counts.

Can I replay it on easy just grapping the ones I missed? Or does it work on NG+ only?

By zeno2k on 09 Mar 2023 08:32

For some reason some the collectables don’t appear for me in the positions at all odd

By Baldy89 on 16 Sep 2023 21:10

Both of the locations for The Commonality achievement are shown in the video above! :)

By Maka91 on 03 Dec 2022 21:01

Ahh just watched it, guess I should've watched it before commenting! 😅

By NoFeetPicPls on 03 Dec 2022 21:08

What times? Ugh one is in below and other secret room earlier on. I missed it. I may use this video now.

By A DEAD B0DY MAN on 04 Dec 2022 07:19

So if I start a second playthrough do I have to collect EVERYTHING again or just the ones I missed?

By PH1 HUNG on 04 Dec 2022 09:49

Wanted to do a blind playthrough to enjoy myself and missed a handful through natural exploration. I have zero desire to replay the game again without the upgrades I purchased, so I'll wait till NG+ gets added to go back and finish this out. Will be using the guide when that time arrives, so thanks well in advance!

By Tanooki Sage on 04 Dec 2022 17:16

It's a completely new save, and you have to grab everything again.

By Maka91 on 04 Dec 2022 17:16

This is so infuriating didn’t think this was missable hopefully when they finally add new game+ it will carry

By ArmedGamerbeast on 04 Dec 2022 22:26

Thanks for the great guide, Maka. It may be worth pointing out that in Chapter 4 there is a collectible that can completely wipe if you die after collecting it, so you need to make a manual save before collecting it. It's for Sgt. Pekelo. PowerPyx mentions it here: https://www.powerpyx.com/the-callisto-protocol-chapter-4-hab...

It happened to me and I didn't realize until I was at the very end of the game and the achievement didn't unlock. So frustrating.

By BobLoblaw on 05 Dec 2022 18:54

Great Guide. My achievement glitched like in your Video, i earned it before collecting all Bios.

By Mister Uncut on 06 Dec 2022 13:43

Achievement doesn't glitch. The achievement is for all implant bios, not necessarily all sound files. I missed some sound files on my first playthrough, but I got all implant bios. Collectible #42 is the last implant bio. #43 is a sound file.

By Ryamus on 07 Dec 2022 20:51

I 1000% missed at least two of them but still got it. It's still a bit unclear what it is, but I think Ryamus is right.

By TriggerOfTime on 07 Dec 2022 23:51

I think you have to unlock every category in the bios menu. Basically make sure that every person's name is clickable.

By Maka91 on 08 Dec 2022 06:38

Evidently it is about the peoples' bios (key icon 1/1). Those can be unlocked via picking up Audio Logs or harvesting implants for the first time per subject. Once either are accomplished, relative Data-Bios are unlocked. There are Data-Bios for subjects that have only one data available, to be collected through picking up Audio Logs or harvesting implants, but their Data-Bios' entries are receiving full status (key icon 1/1 with waveform icon 1/1). Conclusively, not all data is necessary to be collected, relatively.

By CyberneticHFX on 13 Dec 2022 03:16

Thank you Maka. Just followed your guide and got the achievement in one run with no problems.

By THEpaynexkiller on 13 Dec 2022 10:06

By BobLoblaw on 14 Dec 2022 18:48

Got my achievement following your guide but did not read any of the bios etc .

By xSAMMY the SEAL on 19 Dec 2022 14:46

Got this on my 2nd play through, with the secret rooms but missing 2 of Mahler’s and and 1 of Cole’s. I did listen to most of them but some I cut off early as I’d heard them on my first run.

By DemonBullets on 29 Dec 2022 15:57

I've had item 20 disappear on two play throughs without dying after getting the item. it would vanish after a few check points for some reason.

By Caboose1132 on 31 Dec 2022 15:07

Just a tip, with New Game + the achievements pops immediatly after picking up any data bios that you missed. I missed one in Chapter 2 and unlocked as soon as I grabbed it.

By vK Knave on 20 Jan 2023 19:52

Thanks for the guide! I don't know how to do videos yet otherwise I'd have started to make one 😅
Are you gonna do a guide for The Commonality? I just unlocked it, and I feel a video guide would be best for it since I believe you have to go to two secret locations for it to unlock.

By NoFeetPicPls on 03 Dec 2022 21:00

Be advised, to understand its save game system: Only the status at incremental checkpoints are mapped towards save game data. That means, even after a manual progression save, its save game data is relative to the last checkpoint's status. Not being aware of that, can eventually translate to unconscious negative events, in worst case scenarios. Focused example: Checkpoint triggered, data was collected, manual save performed, manual save game data loaded (after failure; Load Game/Manual Save #; Restart Checkpoint; Continue). That data is not collected on continued progression like that. Focus on saving status for good by triggering a next checkpoint.

So the embedded video is no longer reliable, and the new text explains a lot of them have been moved since the video was made? Why would the game do that? That sucks.

UPDATE: I found the answer on the official website...
ANSWER,
"In order to maintain The Callisto Protocol's narrative structure and avoid over-lapping audio, some of the in-game audio log locations were moved."

I'm about to start this game. Anyone find a new, updated collectible guide? Or is this the best there is still?

SAVE FILE DISAPPEARED on XBox. Solution.

If you turned off, or restarted, your XBox while playing Callisto Protocol, the last save may not appear at the main menu.

It's still there. Don't worry.

At the Main Menu select:
- New Experience
- Skip cutscenes
- Control Jacob in his ship for a few seconds.
- Hit Start.... NOW
- Select LOAD GAME
- Choose a previous save from your last gaming session.

Thank you E vee dub !

I thought I had lost all progress finding these stupid implant files, plus suffering through fights with no ammo because I sold all ammo to buy upgrades.

Use this same "RELOAD-PREVIOUS-SAVE" technique if you miss a collectible, but your way back gets blocked.

By E vee dub on 02 Apr 2024 20:16

Can confirm with @vK Knave that you only need to collect the collectibles you missed in order to unlock the achievement. However, you still need to figure out what it is you missed in order to get it, game isn’t very good when it comes to the collectible screen.

Hi, this collectible walkthrough has been updated with changes regarding patch 5.02:

https://callisto.sds.com/en-us/news/patch_notes

Some of the collectables have changed locations compared to where they were before. I have updated this accordingly so it's correct.

Chapter 1: Cargo

Chapter 2: Outbreak

Chapter 3: Aftermath

5) A little while later into this chapter you will loot a corpse for a key card to open a door. On the corpse you loot will be the audio log. This is just before you enter the Laundry B202 room. (Same as Before)

6) Just after the previous collectible you will enter the next room and will fight one enemy.

From here walk forward and turn right to go down the stairs. Once at the bottom go to the left side of the room to find the Office B112 room with the collectible on a corpse.

7) From the Laundry B202 room where you just fought the enemy take the left stairs down this time. Run forward to the other side of the room. Open the door on the right side and crawl through the vent.

Once through the vent follow the path down. Once at the bottom turn left and go into the room with all the chairs to find the audio log on the main desk.

8) A little while later you will make your way to Medical Ward C101 where you need to manually open the door with your hands.

Just after this there will be a corpse on the floor with the collectible.

9) A little while later you will have obtained the GRP upgrade and will have opened another door with your bare hands. In this room will be loads of corpses hanging from the ceiling. On the right side of this room behind a bunch of boxes you will find the collectible on the floor.

10) Just after this you will be in a room with a spinning fan.

Turn right and bare left to walk behind the fan to find the audio log on a corpse on the floor.

An enemy will surprise attack you here also so watch out.

11) After regrouping with Elias you will use a gondola to cross a large gap.

In the next room with all the metal structures where you fight a bunch of enemies. Before leaving, climb to the top of the platform to find the audio log on a corpse next to one of the power switches.

12) A little while later you will be in a cutscene where you get locked inside a prison cell. Before leaving the prison cell, from where you are turn around to find the audio log on the table.

Chapter 4: Habitat

Chapter 5: Lost

Chapter 6: Below

Chapter 7: Colony

Chapter 8: Tower

If you prefer a video walkthrough, feel free to use my video as a reference:

Hope this helped, thanks again!

To add insult to my injury, my save game disappeared when I turned my XBox off and lost all progress.
I was on collectible 37 about to start the final chapter.
The game isn't even that good.
I may not bother restarting.

UPDATE:
You can hit start and choose LOAD GAME from a previous save if your way back gets blocked and you missed a collectible.
A hard lesson I learned the hard way.

Achievement unlocked once I picked up #42 after the turrets were disabled. I missed one collectible earlier too.

CONFIRMED: This guide is updated and the best to follow. I followed the text/picture guide, never watched the video.

Thanks.

Thumbs up #18 from me.

This is the guide I used from power pyx, easy to follow and segmented. Jus know there is no chapter select after beating the game to unlock the trophy all items must be collected in one play through. It doesn’t count progress across plays. And you don’t have to actually read anything, just pick up the collectibles.

Ugh. Thx for the heads up.😖

By ChutChutHutt on 16 Jan 2023 06:16

With new game plus, your statement "all items must be collected in one play through" is no longer accurate. I started new game plus with the guide you posted when I got the 6th Data-bios the trophy unlocked. Worth updating the guide to mention that :)

The game doesn't show you the ones you collected previously in NG+ though, so you will have to keep picking them up in order unless you know what you missed

By BeardedScot86 on 26 Jan 2023 23:41

As of August 11th 2023 if anyone is looking for Arden Jeddha location moved from the front to the left of the platform as shown here.

In Chapter 3, 'Aftermath', you'll be introduced to a form of the game's collectibles, "implant bios." The implant bio is effectively the chip in the back of the neck and there are usually five or six per chapter that you can collect. Some are optional, some are mandatory, and because there's no chapter select or New Game Plus, if you miss one, you have to redo the entire playthrough (or load an old save if you have one and go from there).

Fear not though, folks, if you follow our implant bio collectibles guide, you won't miss anything!

By Don_Adamov on 05 Aug 2023 19:48

What you missed can be collected in the new game +, at first you can’t see what you collected previously, you need to load the last save and see what you missed, you have to collect them in NG+ and the trophy will appear, the game remembers what you collected in the last game but does not show them

By NAge-bS on 01 Feb 2023 04:30

As already mentioned, the trophy is buggy, so also be sure to check that all the entries are in place after death/loading a checkpoint.

At level 4, one of my records disappeared after death, I can’t go back and pick it up again - the item is no longer there, I had to load the last save before getting the item. If something is not collected, you will need to go through everything from the moment you receive the missed item. Items are not transferred to the new game; you cannot replay chapters and collect items.

Correction according to the video guide from the first tip.
Chapter 6, the last log from the list has been moved. The corpse now lies immediately to the left of the exit from the platform where you fought the two-headed one. Personally, I just needed this log for a trophy.

By holly_rabbit on 08 Oct 2023 13:09

Received this trophy twice on the penultimate implant. Be attentive to those checkpoints where the implant is located, after death you can forget to pick it up.

By Rizaka on 05 Dec 2022 08:43

In the patch dated June 29, 2023, some logs were moved to other places.

By ProblemSPb on 03 Jul 2023 13:10

A strange trophy, I think the audio recordings are not important, since I received the trophy, and the doctor did not have one audio recording. Most likely, only those that are displayed as a key in the log are considered. And in the latest version, on ng+, you can see what records you collected from the last game, but records open by chapter.

By Devik on 18 Oct 2023 15:17

The trophy dropped on the penultimate entry.
This indicates that the trophy is bugged or new entries have appeared that do not count towards the trophy. Be careful and collect fresh videos. Since recent patches, the locations of the entries have changed.

By npi_3pak on 26 Oct 2023 14:59

I missed two entries on my first playthrough. On my second walk through the guides, I realized that the corpse I needed to take the recording from was not loading. This is the head of the colony - Chigwan Park. Neither the corpse nor the action button appeared on the screen. I walked around the room pressing

and gg began to cut the recording from the air, and the trophy fell out.

By lleeroy182 on 31 Oct 2023 18:00

When I received the first platinum on the PS 5 version, I caught a bug with the plot chip at level 4, took it and, apparently, died and it disappeared, I noticed it at the end of the game, but I beat the game on hard.
You can quickly go through version 2 for PS4, on easy, basically half a day's work, on easy the game is quite simple. As soon as you get the Grim Reaper trophy, save the game manually and load it onto the PS5 version, take the last log - and you have 2 trophies, and considering that the difficulty trophy is also done by loading on 2 versions, you will get 2 platinums without any problems. By the way, I got the trophy for collecting everything 1 log earlier, on the penultimate one.

By himeo on 24 Dec 2022 01:11

Due to the extremely crooked checkpoint system, items and magazines picked up after a checkpoint disappear forever after two restarts (that is, they simply will no longer be in the game after a checkpoint restart/death). I advise you to save manually and load from the save, and not restart the checkpoint, so as not to lose uncollected items. My very first log from the ship disappeared like this, I noticed this already 2/3 of the way through the game. Fortunately, the trophy dropped when there were 2 more entries left to collect. Either they fixed this and reduced the number of collections, or this is again a bug. In any case, be very careful and manually save often so as not to lose items during restarts.
