How to unlock the Know Thine Enemy achievement in Visions of Mana - Definitive Guide

A bit of a warning, some people have found their trackers to get stuck even after killing everything needed, to be safe I recommend leaving Nemeses for last and creating a save on a new slot before you go around killing them all so you can keep track if they are progressing the tracker and hope none of the bosses bug you out as some of them you only fight once, the bestiary doesn't carry over for new game+ either.

If your game has already bugged, please check Dragonling post in the comments for a fix that has worked for them in getting their last enemy to respawn.

A lot of these enemies you will come across naturally if you smack everything in every zone you go into with maybe 1-2 having something different to them which I will note where I can. I will write out the bestiary in order how it appears in game and their location so it's easier for you to find what you are missing. If I'm missing anything of special note, please let me know so I can update!

There are multiple Nemeses per map, you'll know if you find one as they glow a different colour and the music changes when you get near them, at least 8 of them are found in the broken temples that you can access to by killing all the enemies in the area, these enemies are around level 50. Unsure if you need the Nemeses Takedown Quest active as I had that up when I did this. Incase, it is found in Illystana by the fountain.

I defeated Armed Griv Nemesis, but it didn't add to bestiary. Did not notice until 40 hours later when going for last achievement. So did a speed run new game plus to it only to realize bestiary doesn't carry over lol

Oh noes, that's two of you that have had this issue.

I don't know if this will help but with other games where I've had trackers get stuck I've been able to force them to pop by hitting the guide button, going over to game activity, hitting All Achievements then selecting the game with the stuck tracker and looking at the achievement list there. I will make a note on the guide to warn people that this seems to be a bit buggy and to keep track of their trackers/saves so they don't save over an enemy they might need to re kill.

*Update*
I had started a run through on NG+, resigning myself to doing a speed run, while my wife was doing some research on the achievement issue.
She found a post from a PS5 user who had this issue with their trophy. They discovered that after starting NG+ and creating a save, they reloaded their original completed save file (first run/chapter 10) and one of the previously completed entries in their bestiary was now missing. For them it was Armed Griv (similar to DwnTheRbbtHole8 above). They went back to the location AND THE ENEMY HAD RESPAWNED! They were able to kill it and the trophies unlocked.

I just replicated that proof. For me it was the Gluttonous Tirpel in the pasture that was mysteriously wiped off the list. I went there and sure enough he was back. Defeated it and the Expert Exterminator, Know Thine Enemy, and Visions of Mana achievements all popped. Huzzah!

I don't know how or why that worked, but holy hell am I glad it did.

I'm so glad you was able to find a solution, I'll make note of it in the guide for people to check your comment out if the same thing happens to them!

I've matched every enemy on this list and my counters are stuck at 96% for nemesis and 99% for bestiary 😭

So one of them was killed, added to the bestiary in-game, but didn't count on the achievement counter.

Started New Game+ and comfirmed none of the list caries over. No idea which nemesis didn't count, can only hope it's one I hit early and that magically completes the counter for me.

For the Gawker, i see "Floating Isle of Ulul" for spawn spot in the bestiary and can be found too in this zone.

To complete the Bestiary, you must defeat all common enemies, Nemeses, story bosses (including the post-game boss outlined in The Spawn of Calamity (90G)), as well as the Black Rabite for Rabite Season (90G). Once you have defeated every enemy, the achievement will unlock. Most of the ones in the "common" section are indeed very common, just make sure you kill each group of enemies as you pass through the story locations. However, a few are random spawns and can hide as different enemies (Shape Shifter, Shadow Zero, and Shadow Zero-One), while a few others will only spawn if you have specific side-quests active. Once you beat the story, compare your list with the list in the description of the Youtube video below to see which ones you're missing.
