Small goals. Memorable adventures.

Two ways to get to know your species

Mastery goals recognize useful actions for your animal. Expeditions are a sequence of steps that gives you a short adventure to follow. Open Goals or your in-game species panel for current progress.

Expedition steps count in order. An action performed before its step opens may not count for that step. If the game asks you to retry, read the current objective before repeating it. The game tracks your actual actions, not just visits to this guide.
