In single-player games, there isn’t a competitive aspect where you are required to fight other players in battles. This enables players to enjoy a game at their own pace without having to worry about too many external factors. But without some challenges, single-player games can get boring. This is why in-game achievements are so important in such games. While they do exists in multiplayer games as well, their significance is much higher in single-player titles, especially for those who like to complete 100% of the game. Similarly, in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, there are a ton of achievements that you can unlock, 45 in total. While most are pretty easy to get hold of, some require a lot of grinding. In addition to this, the Archivist achievement is the one that has been the point of concern for many. Players have reported that this achievement just simply doesn’t unlock. So, if you too are encountering a similar problem, consider reading this guide to know whether there is a fix for this bug, and if yes, how to get this achievement.

Fountain of Confession in Vatican City
A very popular workaround to fix this bug is to go to the Fountain of Confession in Vatican City. Here, open up your camera at the very entrance and snap a photo of the statue, present at the top of the stairs. This needs to be done even if you already have a picture of the same. Once you click the picture, the achievement should be unlocked. But do note that this is not a guaranteed fix. Some players did get the achievement after trying this, so it is worth a shot.
Secret Ending
Make sure that you have played through the secret ending of the game as well, as a player mentioned that they were able to get the 100% achievement status only after the secret ending.
Solve a Puzzle
For this workaround, try finding any puzzles in the game. Once found, take a picture and receive the tips to solve the puzzle. Chances are that after taking the picture, you will receive the achievement.
Reload a previous save
If the issue persists, consider reloading a previous save to check whether the issue persists. There is a slim chance that this bug is related to the current save so reloading a different one might do the trick. Do note that doing so will result progress loss, so be ready to play some parts of the gameplay again.
For now, these are the only workarounds that have a chance of fixing the archivist achievement bug in the game until an official fix is released. We hope that you find this guide informative. If you did, consider visiting Android Gram for more such interesting content on all things gaming.
