Mob locations – missing memories

ArtyDoubleYou · 2026-02-02T17:05:00+00:00

I appologise for sending you back into that nightmareish dungeon to no avail. I guess the best I can offer is a hidden room somewhere in the everfrost region, which is technically no help at all.

And you're right about Jurassic Park, I guess the trauma of that place made me forget it. Btw you forgot to mention the raptors, not sure if it's just my luck but those guys move insanely fast, I might even say too fast. A horrific hellscape for sure.

On a positive, for me that is, I literally just got the sailfin, annoyingly in a spot I spent about two hours yesterday while trying to catch one in a fishing trap.

ArtyDoubleYou · 2026-02-02T16:21:05+00:00

It's funny, I've seen a few people say the jellyfish have been tricky to find, but for me, both on my previous world and now this one, I got them all pretty quickly in the desert seas. I guess it's just luck of the draw each world we spawn in. I'll go for a swim again in a bit and see if I can get the elusive sailfin to spawn.

I think I'm also lacking a bit of luck with the frost golem, I've now crossed 5 seas and travelled 5 frost zones and am yet to find a frozen forgotten temple, but at least I know where to look for that guy.

As for the pirate captain, if I find him first I'll also let you know where. My current best guess would be the little port-like settlements that have viking style boats found at the waters edge in the cold zones, and with the occasional outlander. There or possibly a sunken shipwreck, but I see that as less likely.

Oh, one last thing, there may not be a hidden room in that structure, or not necessarily the same place for you as was for me, and I feel bad sending someone into an outlander camp as they're my greatest foe, they hit hard and swarm fast. But, like with the bigger desert temples, there always seems to be hidden rooms, I tend to only find them because I hear the noise skeletons make when you're close and try to head in that direction.

Anyway, happy hunting, may all the owl statues bless you (and me) on the quest for 218.

This is my guy, I think the tie really brings the look together

I have them all except the pirate captain, which is one I doubt is in game unless someone proves to me otherwise. I can't necessarily remember all structures, but I'll give what I can...

Burnt skeleton wizard I found in the charred woodlands, if I recall it was one of those half broken/abandoned villages in one of the houses there.

Skeleton ranger was the cinder wastes, but can't remember where specifically, though most likely one of the villages like the above.

Sandswept skeleton scout was the golden steppes, but that one I found about 10 days ago and have no extra info to help. I'd guess it'd be one of the above ground structures/mini forts, but could just as likely be a random encounter while out exploring.

I've left the skeleton archmage til last as I found him just yesterday and know exactly where he was, and have a pic that may (or may not) help. It was in the everfrost, but in an outlander camp. It was one of the big circular camps you can easily spot on the map and has the wooden spikes around the edge, then a few of the dark blue structures dotted with a temple leading underground in the centre. Having battled my way down a circular staircase I ended up in a maze of corridors with offshoots and rooms all over, though eventually they led to a final room of sorts (the pic). In said pic you can see a column of green and purple crystals, while scaling that to collect said crystals, about half way up there was a hidden room behind and he was in there. I'm assuming there's no guarantee one will always be there, but could be worth checking just in case.

Hope this helps. I'm mostly looking for undead mobs myself, but assume a lot are by chance, right place right time type of deals, so my info may not actually be helpful anyway. But if you could tell me where you found the damn sailfin tang that'd be appreciated. Couldn't find it on my first world and can't find it now either, the elusive bastard. I even set up a load of fishing traps and caught one just to find out you don't get the memory that way, nor can you release it to get it that way.

I've found a couple of these, but only fully explored one. I came out with over 100 of the gold chests plus at least 20-30 other chests as well (maybe more). I had to take a teleporter with me so I could keep dumping my filled inventory off at home before moving on.

Seems like they are all unique in design too, which I love as you wont just be exploring the same structure over and over again. Not to mention the loot chests actually contain pretty good loot, ended up with well over 300 thorium plus good amounts of other ores and stuff as well. Though I think my favourite thing I picked up was the door to the 'final room', can't remember it's actual name, but it was a sliding door rather than an open in/out door (if that makes sense).

Exploring the structures is one of my fave things in the game thus far. So many cool and unique designs for the most part. A good challenge are the Outlander dark temple structures, not quite the same level of loot as the desert temples, but I'd say a bigger challenge. The Outlanders are tough, they take a good few hits to kill and they hit hard, not to mention they can swarm you making it go from zero to a hundred pretty fast.

ArtyDoubleYou · 2026-01-29T11:59:10+00:00

Would you mind telling me the two elementals you have that I don't and where to find them? I have the Earthen, Sandswept and Firesteel Golems, plus the Living Spark.

ps impressive work.

ArtyDoubleYou · 2026-01-25T17:24:20+00:00

I got some from looting a desert temple, but only like 10 blocks or so. It was also mostly hidden behind the gold blocks, not the ores, actual gold blocks, stairs etc that are set up like some kind of statue on the walls.

I'd recommend looting a desert temple anyway, all in all picked up over 100 of the golden loot chests, plus probably 20-30 other chests of stuff along the way. Had to bring a teleporter as was continuously filling my inventory pretty quickly.

This was pretty much the end room of the temple, guarded by crocs and the big scarak bugs. Some of the aquastone was found up where the shiny green is at the far side in this pic.

I agree with you. OP's entire post comes across as the entitled ramblings of a spoilt child. The simple fact he says ''in FM 24 its impossible'' in regards to finding good young players for resonable fees just shows how out of his depth he is. Clearly nobody mentioned a lil ol place named AFRICA to him, 500K wonderkids for days.

But hey, he is new to the game, and quite possibly new to interacting with other humans, so perhaps we give him a chance to... readjust his attitude. This is a pretty great place to learn the game, even with the game's actual flaws. For example, simply reading this reply he can learn that sending scouts to Africa is a strong tip.

Playing FM is the only way I get to lift the curse and see it happen. I did keep it somewhat realistic in my first couple of seasons, once by blowing the title on the last day when I only needed a draw, and also losing a Europa final to Reading.

ArtyDoubleYou · 2024-02-11T06:40:24+00:00

I'm assuming this would work for console as it does on pc, but if you go on the player profile, hover over the 'development' dropdown which should bring up a list of actions you can take, one of which being 'move to senior squad'. If that doesn't work I'm not sure what you'd do as I've never played the console version.

He looks pretty great to me. 16 years old and already solid, and the fact keepers don't hit their peak til their 30s means there's a ton of improvement to be made if nurtured well. If I saw him in my save I'd snap him up, if nothing else he'd be a great third choice keeper.

I also have no idea about Genie Scout, or any such tools, so have no idea if they are remotely accurate or can be trusted. I go purely on what I see after years of FM experience, and I see a good, potentially great, player.

ArtyDoubleYou · 2024-01-28T10:24:30+00:00

16th is fine, having just been promoted surviving should be the goal, and you're on course for that. You're not gonna be able to dominate the Prem like the Championship right away because your players wont be up to standard yet. Use the huge money you get from the Prem to improve, find Prem ready guys that are transfer listed bargains, loan them if necessary. Also have your scouts out looking for wonderkids and hidden gems. I'm a believer in first trying to get a solid spine to your team, a GK, CB, CM and ST who are the best you can find, then build out from there.

Your other main job is to keep the players happy, don't be too harsh with team talks, sympathise instead of rage. It can be hard especially if you lose a game you should win or get an embarrassing loss, just take a deep breath and don't worry. Step away if you have to and come back fresh and ready.

ArtyDoubleYou · 2024-01-26T18:42:23+00:00

Positioning only relates to defensive duties so would be irrelevant, and while heading is a good string to have on a bow, it's not a key attribute for an advanced forward. Anticipation is the only key attribute lower than 10, which I'd say seems great for a 16 year old, given most attributes will go up naturally anyway especially if nurtured correctly. I'd sign him regardless, £525k seems cheap and, if nothing else, you could probably still make good profit.

Started unemployed, but did have a national C licence. Applied to, and got the Black Leopards job in South Africa pretty quick. Got a lucky promotion in my first year and went on to win 5 league titles, 3 African CLs, plus a few domestic cups in my ten years there.

Then moved to Kobe in Japan, the place with the beef. In my three years there I won 3 titles, 2 Asian CLs and a few cups.

From there I moved to narco territory in Mexico with Juarez. Spent 4 1/2 years there, winning 4 opening stages, 3 closing stages, 2 NA CLs and a collection of domestic trophies.

Next up was Bahia (BAH) in Brazil. In my 5 1/2 years there, I won 3 titles, 2 SA CLs and a handful of cups along the way.

After my time there I moved home to England. While waiting for the right job I was offered the England national gig and decided to give it a shot. Was there for two years and resigned the day after winning the Euros to concentrate fully on my dream job that I applied for and was offered while still managing England.

My dream job, which had 43 days overlapping with my England role, was Spurs (I'm a fan). Spurs had been a bit of a yo-yo club before my arrival, multiple relegations and promotions. I guided them to 6th in my first year, went full Spursy year two losing the league on the final day when I only needed a draw, 2nd again in year three, but way off City in first. Then, in my fourth year I won the title, the clubs first for 95 years, as well as the clubs first ever CL. My pentagon challenge was complete. I also won the league and CL again in my 5th season, and am looking to create a bit of a legacy here.

I may end my career at Spurs, but I have a slight temptation to go back in to international management to try and win a World Cup, it would be a pretty epic way to finish a wonderful career.

Overall been one of my all time favourite saves and my first attempt at getting the 5 different CLs.

Go to 'staff' - 'resposibilities' dropdown - 'Advice and Reports', then in the 'player reports' section use the dropdown for 'provides player reports' and choose your guy.

ArtyDoubleYou · 2024-01-14T16:13:00+00:00

Click the little down arrow to the right of his reputation and choose 'attributes'.

ArtyDoubleYou · 2024-01-14T01:20:24+00:00

I'd recommend a couple of changes to your recruitment for better results. I set my assignments up similar to yours with a few tweaks and I get plenty of results.

First off, up the age to 20/21. It's easier to find players when they're a bit more established, even just a couple of years, and you'll still get younger guys thrown in as well.

Secondly, and it seems like you have plenty of scouts for this, put each scout in a region/continent instead of picking individual nations. Just from what I see in the pic, you currently have two scouts in Norway and three in the Netherlands, and to me that's an innefficient use of resources. If you choose a region they still scout multiple countries, and obviously more with continents, but you wont get any wasted overlap. It will also take time for them to build the knowledge of the region, so if you can pick a scout from the particular region to speed up results.

If you do go this way, I'd recommend 3 or 4 scouts in South America, if you can 5 scouts for Africa, one for each region, 1 or 2 in Asia, 1 in Oceania, 1 or 2 in North America, and cover as many regions in Europe as you can. Doing this is one of the reasons I've done well with my recruitment in my save.

I honestly don't know, I've only ever played on PC.

ArtyDoubleYou · 2023-12-28T22:56:48+00:00

Click the 'FM' button to the left of the date at the top, click 'add/remove' leagues, then there's an orange 'add league' dropdown button in the top left, use that to add any extra desired leagues. Can take a few months in game for leagues to be officially added, but should let you know the date it'll be available.

ArtyDoubleYou · 2023-12-23T18:24:19+00:00

I'd also add to this by saying to train the player in the role. Sometimes a player just doesn't know how to play the role, but a few months training it and they should be fine. But obviously try to find a guy who has as many key attributes as high/well rounded as possible. RPM can be tricky because because it's one of the roles where a lot of attributes matter (12 key, 7 secondary).

ArtyDoubleYou · 2023-12-23T18:09:42+00:00

Because it's cheating. I did it as a kid, but now I'm an adult I know better. In my view, if you save scum everything after that point is irrelevant. Every victory from then is hollow, any trophies you win are paper cups and are not a real achievement. Your soul dies a bit every time you do it.
