HLNA Notes Not Triggering

If you encounter a situation where the HLNA notes in Ark: Genesis Part 2 do not trigger, you can try a couple of fixes. Since notes are triggered by going to certain areas, thoroughly explore the coordinates we’ve described above. Try taking a few steps back, forward, and a few steps to the side to ensure you trigger the notes.

Additionally, you can try going into your settings and pressing the ‘Reset Cinematics and Cosmetic Items” option to see if that fixes the problem.
