This achievement is a little weird.
Not sure I understand it but I unlocked it after playing endurance for a while.
I think you need to visit all the locations with a different name between storms.

so i need to play endurance then? ok thankyou, will replay my endurance game and focus on scouts. thankyou

it should make it more clear to be honest haha

It's a really wierd one because when it says "all locations" it believe it means all possible locations.
You are randomly assigned a bunch of locations to explore every storm so you essentially need to keep playing until you roll them all. I don't think it matters if its on serenity or not.

However i know it takes time, i was on storm like 20 when i finally got the achievement.

Don't be tempted to do any scouting before the first storm. Concentrate on securing your city and researching all scout tech for maximum efficiency. After the first storm passes send all three of your advanced scouts to every single location in the Frostland and return them to base before the second storm arrives.

There was no Waldo achievement should drop and be yours after the second storm has passed.

Edit: If you fail to explore any site between storms or before the first storm then the achievement is forfeited from then on and you'll have to restart.

If you are still having problems obtaining the achievement then go to the guide tab/achievements and follow the advice given:

"There was no waldo" achievement By GANDYSPLAT

wish I read that earlier (just did a playthough and wondered again why it dident give it me with the advice from the first responder) atleast now i know i cant scout before hand. thankyou so much!

just tried not scouting at all before storm one and i got the same result as if i had so that's not the issue. i'm definitely hitting all locations before the storm on both games and still not getting the achievement. tried this 4 times now and i don't know what to do differently. i did all the stuff in the "There was no waldo" achievement By GANDYSPLAT guide. any thoughts?

do i try and keep going trying to hit all named locations on the wiki atleast once?

The award is for exploring all locations in Endless mode between storms and not before a storm. I obtained it in Serenity on easy level and it dropped after the second storm had passed on my first attempt. I got it in May 2020.

If I remember rightly there was a bug associated with this achievement back in time, but I thought they had fixed it.

Perhaps you need to raise a new bug report here on steam or contact the developer directly on their website https://11bitstudios.com/faq/?filter_game=frostpunk

Good luck

Yes, that is how i got it. I literally just kept playing until i rolled every location. The challenging ones would be the locations with people because they stop spawning after a certain point.

ok thankyou

I did this some time ago. Here are the steps:
1. Start serenity mode. Don't bother gathering. Build 2 wall drills, 1 coal mine and 1 steam works.
2. build 4 workshops. Don't bother with housing. build another steamworks.
3. Focus only on scouts. Get all scout upgrades before day 5.
4. Upgrade resource buildings side by side.
5. Plan and use shortest path to explore all the locations. Do not escort any survivors. Do it twice between storms and you'll get the achievement.

Do you really mean Steelworks when you say steamworks? Or is it Steam Steelworks?

Steelworks. Upgraded them as needed. Spam emergency shifts.

Spam emergency shifts until you have an army of 100% efficient automatons
