Tips for Emperor’s Collection Achievement and Yeti:
---------------------------------------------------
I was missing two treasures needed for the achievement, which I
mistakenly believed HAD to be the two missing Yeti photos, since
they were more “base game” type treasures that were in the game
longer. Note that I do not have the usual suspects, IE the
shrunken head and feather among other misc missing treasures.
Conveniently, during this run I had gone to the Archipelago and
discovered two treasures that I had not seen before, so I got the
achievement at the 4th expedition rather than when I eventually
found the yeti in the same run. To emphasize, unless my copy of
RE:IS is weird (and excluding the Halloween treasures), any old
treasures count towards the achievement. Theoretically, you could
just avoid a specific expedition and still get the achievement .
Though I wouldn’t recommend that.
-=Yeti=-
With regard to Yeti hunting, I’m glad this thread existed to give
some hints, but there are still a couple caveats that might help
any future explorers.
Firstly, it took me two playthroughs to ultimately find the Yeti,
even though I was on Discovery mode. My first playthrough I
completed the 4th expedition and saved after making all the
preparations on the main map. I went to Shangri-La, found Mount
Kailish and reloaded. The second time around on this first
playthrough I got Mount Kailish a second time. I then reloaded but
confusingly I just kept getting the same second Mount Kailish map.
I tried buying more entourage members, buying and selling certain
items, but nothing changed the map a third time.
Secondly, on my second playthrough I also found Mount Kailish
again, but upon reloading the second time I was able to get the
Yeti spawn. I saved before the first move on the map, so I decided
to do a test run and see where I would “have to not go”, and I
would have needed to essentially go to Shangri-La, and then back
to spawn to get the yeti Mountain, with no Shambala keys in between.
Very unforgiving.
Thirdly, despite this setback I was willing to go through with it a
nyway, but upon reloading I was able to find the tracks rather than
get caught in the net, and it lead me to the same hunting area near
Shangri-La, however this time the Yeti mountain was in a much better
spot to the north of the map rather than all the way to the left at
spawn. So perhaps Yeti Mountain’s spawn point is tied to whether you
use the woman or the tracks to locate the Yeti, OR you can reload
to change the location of Yeti Mountain.
Lastly, if you save directly before Yeti Mountain, you can complete
the game getting one picture, reload, and get the other picture(s)
by completing the game again. I was worried this wouldn’t be the
case, and I’m not sure whether you even need to actually complete
the game to “get” the treasure.
-=Conclusion=-
TL;DR = Based on my experienceI think all non-Halloween treasures
count towards the Emperor’s Collection achievement. Playing on
Discovery to find the Yeti, you may only have one “reroll” of the
map per playthrough on discovery. Yeti Mountain spawn can be really
unforgiving. Yeti Mountain spawn may be linked to whether you use
the woman or the tracks, or alternatively it can be reloaded (unknown)
amount of times to change the location.
