Alien: Isolation ID Tags Locations ‘The Taken’ Guide

To unlock "The Taken" achievement/trophy in Alien: Isolation, you need to collect 50 ID tags in the game and we have the locations for them.

In Alien: Isolation, you assume the role of Amanda Ripley and embark upon a journey of uncovering the mystery of your mother’s disappearance. Soon after reaching the Sevastopol Station, you realize that it is not only Ellen Ripley who has gone missing, but a lot of other crew members as well.

Alien: Isolation ID Tags Locations

Throughout the journey in Alien: Isolation, Ripley will come across several ID Tags of various missing persons which will unravel the mysteries of their disappearances. There are a total of fifty ID Tags in the game and finding them all will unlock ‘The Taken’ Achievement/Trophy.

You will come across some of these ID Tags in plain sight while progressing through the game, but there are some which require you to thoroughly explore different areas.

In this guide, I’m going to share the locations of all fifty ID Tags that can be found scattered throughout the eighteen chapters of the game. Actually no, the first chapter doesn’t contain any ID Tag.
