How to unlock the Solstheim Explorer achievement in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition - Definitive Guide

Firstly, teleport to Solstheim: coc DLC2DamphallMineExterior01

Then, simply use the following commands to greatly speed up the time it takes you to discover the 30 locations:

sgtm 10 - this sets the game speed to 10x the normal speed including movement speed. You can lower it to whatever suits you if you find 10 to be too fast.

tcl - This toggles clipping so you can fly and pass through objects.

tgm - This toggles God mode so that if you happen to get caught unawares by some extremely fast moving enemies, you won't get insta-killed. (Thanks THEpaynexkiller)

Once these are all enabled just fly around by looking at the compass for a location you haven't been to, point towards it and fly straight there. Rinse and repeat.

Edit: I know tcl can be finnicky to get working so read this if you are struggling:
Make sure that there is no entity selected when executing the command.
You'll know an entity is selected when you have the console open and in the middle of the screen is a bunch of numbers/letters which represent someone or something.
For example if you open the console and click on the dragonborn in 3rd person cam the text "(00000014) will be in the middle because you have the player selected.
To "deselect" the entity that is currently selected just click somewhere without an entity (i.e. the ground or the sky or something).

One fairly quick way to do this is once you get to Solstheim go to the first quest marker (it should be the #2 location to discover), then work your way around the map in a clockwise circle from there, moving from the outside of the map towards the inside. I turned into a werewolf right away to make the running from place to place much faster, and using this method I uncovered most of the locations on the entire island (and the achievement) in about 20 minutes. Not to mention I fed on about 60 creatures/people towards to werewolf perks achievement. The island itself is fairly contained so you'll always see a new place to find on your minimap no matter where you are, just head in it's direction and as soon as you've discovered it, aim at a different place and run over there. If you're doing it as a werewolf and you feed on one or two guys every couple of minutes you'll have way more than enough stamina to just run everywhere, covering lots of ground very quickly. This was the second achievement I got from Dragonborn (the first being arriving there, obviously), and now I'll be able to fast travel to just about anywhere for quests and whatnot. Not a bad idea for chasing some of the other cheevos.

Kaitlin/LookItsPineappl gave an excellent guide up above but in my current playthrough I was a Vampire Lord and not a Werewolf.

Vampire Lord has equivalent if not greater benefits and gives perks progress as well toward a similar achievement - The vampie lord can also hover over water in flying form making it incredibly useful.

Some other notes I think worth mentioning but also helped me greatly!

•Arvak the horse http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Arvak
has multiple uses and is a summonable horse that you can use in Solstheim and can shield you from most (not all) fall damage (save first when in doubt)

• There is an achievement for taming and riding dragons and you will come across at LEAST a couple while going through Solstheim so choose between the added benefit of fast travel for/during Dragonborn questline or Partially completing the questline and using bendwill while getting solstheim locations and black book hunting

The fastest way to do this by far an takes little effort and zero map travelling…

All you need to do is find any location (town, dungeon, what ever) at all. Stand within it’s area and open console command and type:

tmm 0

Then after closing the console command the area will be “discovered” and turn from a black marker to a white marker although you’ve already been there. Then keep repeating over and over till you “discovered” 30 locations.

Tested and works as of 22nd of may 2022.

Thanks, super quick option. I used coc DLC2AbandonedLodgeExterior01 for it. Just hit up on the command and it'll pull "Tmm 0" in again. Takes just a minute or two to get 30.

I didn't have much luck flying around and randomly finding locations as the other solution suggested. So, I found a complete list of all Solstheim locations and narrowed it down to the "exterior" ones that count towards the achievement. Simply teleport to these locations with the command console (open with the ~ key). I'd suggest walking around in each location until the text displays on screen saying that you've discovered it.

If you followed my advice in Explorer (40G) you will already have this. Use the "tcl" and "sgtm 10" commands to quickly move around the island and discover 30 locations.

The trophy will most likely be obtained by completing story and side quests on the island. If there weren’t enough locations for a trophy, then we just walk around the island and look at the compass.
