100% Logbook & All MIssable Scans in Metroid Prime 4

In Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, like other Prime games, Samus records her discoveries in a Logbook. You can track your progress as a percentage through the menu. However, Metroid Prime 4 adds a secret ending that requires finding absolutely everything – 100% completion of all items and scans. This guide will show you how to achieve 100% Logbook completion in Metroid Prime 4, including finding every scan, so you don’t miss anything.

All Logbook Scans in the Prologue – Metroid Prime 4

As soon as you start playing Metroid Prime 4, you’ll be able to scan objects around you. While you can scan almost anything, focus on the important ones – these will have a ‘View in Logbook’ option in their description. Don’t just scan people and creatures, though! Always take the time to scan anything that’s highlighted in green.

The Prologue’s three entries are:

Space Pirate – Sylux Forces – Missable:

• Category: Biology
• Subcategory: Sylux Forces

Okay, so as soon as I jumped into the Prologue, I immediately spotted the Space Pirates – they’re the big bad guys I’m going to be fighting. I made sure to scan one of them right away, just to get the info I needed.

Galactic Federation Trooper – Gal Fed – Missable:

• Category: Biology
• Subcategory: Gal Fed

You’ll only get one opportunity to scan a standard Gal Fed trooper. After your first battle with the Space Pirates, you’ll encounter several troops guarding a doorway. Be sure to scan one of them then – there’s no downside to doing so.

Aberax – Sylux Forces – Missable:

• Category: Biology
• Subcategory: Sylux Forces

Aberax is the last boss you’ll fight in the Prologue. Scan it at the beginning of the battle, because you won’t be able to scan it again after the Prologue is over.

All Logbook Scans in Fury Green – Metroid Prime 4

All Gal Fed Scans in Fury Green:

Name	Location	Image
Myles MacKezie	Myles can be scanned any time after you rescue him. Make sure he formally introduces himself to you, as a scan before that will not count in the Logbook. Later, he’ll be at the Base Camp in Fury Green.

All Biology Scans in Fury Green:

Name	Location	Image
Aurengh Crane	This is a flying creature that can be found in various locations around the map. At certain points, they can be found near the pond in Base Camp. If you are missing it, check the pond every time you return. If you are quick, you can catch them in Quiet Clearing when you first arrive in Fury Green, but they fly away.
Sicklefly	Sickleflies are small bugs that appear similar to dragonflies. You can find them in several map sections around Fury Green. They can be scanned in the Quiet Clearing as soon as you arrive, and can be found there later if you return. They often fly in swarms, so keep a look-out for large groups flying by if you need the scan.
Shimmerstrap	Shimmerstrap are often found growing from the rotted trees that surround many doors in Fury Green.
Glister Beetle	Found in the tight spaces of Fury Green. You’ll see them crawling along the walls in Hollow Log, as soon as you leave Quiet Clearing. They can be found in the large loop section as well.
Empress Aleu	Empress Aleu can be found flying over the very first section of Fury Green, Quiet Clearing. You’ll end up here after leaving Chrono Tower. They can also be found spread all around the map, so they are very hard to miss.
Red Relic Ant	Red Relic Ants are often found crawling on roots or fallen trees around various sections of Fury Green. They can be found crawling on a large root in Quiet Clearing when you first arrive in Fury Green, along with several sections in the large loop.
Homing Spore	Homing Spores are released from Ghaspores. You can find them quickly in Cleared Path, just outside Base Camp. They can also be found hovering in the Cargo Staging Area, between Base Camp and Cleared Path. You can also find them when you first arrive in the Hollow Log section.

Ghaspore	There are several Ghaspore around Fury Green, but you can easily find one just outside of Base Camp in the Cleared Path section. It is on the wall
Glottagropper	The long-legged enemies will be encountered very early in Fury Green. The Ravine Overlook section, just after the Fury Green title appears, can always be relied upon. They can also be found at Bridge Landing, just before the long bridge.

Jungle Griever	Jungle Grieversfirst appear when you rescue Myles. They will later appear throughout Fury Green, and are impossible to miss. Scan them at any opportunity.
Carvex	The main boss of Fury Green. If you do not scan here, you can always scan in the hologram chamber that displays bosses.
Carvex Vine	Missable: This is the vine that extends from Carvex’s body. You have to scan it separately, and if you do not, you will not be able to get 100% Logbook Completion, so make sure to scan it!
Carvex’s Pollen Sac	Missable: The large projectiles that Carvex sends Samus’ way. Make sure to scan them here, because this is the only chance.

If you look up over the center of the room, you’ll see the purple glow of a psychic object. Scan it to reveal thePsychic Grapple Point. You won’t be able to use it yet, but it’s one of the least common traversal objects, so it’s worth getting it out of the way now.
