Collectibles & Knowledge Checklist
A region-by-region method for auditing supported knowledge, collectible and discovery records without invented totals.
Patch 2.00.00 Knowledge and Memory changes
Section titled “Patch 2.00.00 Knowledge and Memory changes”The Enhanced update adds Knowledge, items, Memory Fragments, dialogue and conversations to strengthen boss narratives. Memory images should appear more quickly when revealed with a lantern, and the Chapter 2 guide message should disappear after a Memory Fragment is acquired with Blinding Flash.
Pearl Abyss did not publish a complete list of new identities or locations. Add records only from official naming or current-build observation.
Use the Collectible Catalogue as the canonical record list and the Completion Companion as your saved checklist.
Patch 1.18.00 Quest Knowledge baseline
Section titled “Patch 1.18.00 Quest Knowledge baseline”Patch 1.18.00 adds a dedicated Quests Knowledge category with eight subcategories: Main Quests, Faction Quests, Investigation Quests, Research Quests, Daily Life Quests, Guide, Archive Records and Constellations. Some qualifying Knowledge is granted retroactively when its quest was already complete.
After updating, open Knowledge once and record any retroactive entries before comparing the catalogue. The notice does not promise that every historical quest grants a record.
Animal Knowledge can now be acquired by picking an animal up rather than killing it. Boss Knowledge descriptions were also clarified, and Mysterious Invitation becomes available after completing Read the memory beneath Delesyia Castle.

Safe collection order
Section titled “Safe collection order”- Finish the active story or regional prerequisite.
- Reveal the local map and services.
- Filter the catalogue to one region and one category.
- Clear records with verified locations first.
- Revisit quest-linked records after the relevant quest state changes.
- Mark inaccessible records as blocked.
- Keep provisional names, routes and rewards in Research.
- Export a tracker backup after each region.
Region audit
Section titled “Region audit”For each region:
- supported knowledge records checked;
- supported collectible records checked;
- discoveries and services revisited after progression;
- quest-linked entries compared with the completed journal;
- missing entries rechecked after save and reload;
- provisional records excluded from the complete count.
Record evidence
Section titled “Record evidence”A useful record contains:
- stable canonical ID;
- visible in-game name;
- category and region;
- prerequisite state;
- precise route or interaction;
- completion signal;
- reward or effect only when verified;
- patch and platform;
- reproducible source.
A map screenshot without the required world state is a candidate, not a complete route.
Missing knowledge procedure
Section titled “Missing knowledge procedure”- Confirm the relevant quest is truly complete.
- Install the current verified patch.
- Save to a new slot and reload once.
- Revisit the knowledge interaction or associated character.
- Compare the in-game list with the canonical record.
- Check Current Known Issues.
- Record the exact missing name, category, quest state and platform.
Do not start a new game or delete a save merely to test a missing list entry.
Duplicate and renamed records
Section titled “Duplicate and renamed records”Names can change between patches or localisations. Before adding a new entry:
- compare location, interaction and reward;
- check accepted aliases;
- keep the stable ID when only the displayed name changes;
- retire an ID only through the migration record;
- never reuse a retired ID for different content.
Completion rule
Section titled “Completion rule”Check a record only when the accepted in-game trigger is visible. Discovery of a candidate location, a community map marker or a patch-note name does not by itself prove collection.
Final catalogue audit
Section titled “Final catalogue audit”- Every supported region has been reviewed.
- Quest-linked records were checked after their prerequisites.
- Patch 1.16 knowledge-list repairs were retested where relevant.
- Renamed entries retain stable identity.
- Unknown totals remain unclaimed.
- The catalogue and Completion Companion backups agree.
