In Vogue
Unlock First Snapshot

Every Snapshot is linked to a task. Exit to the menu during a level and the left page lists that level’s tasks. Each finished task gives one Snapshot automatically.

Many tasks are just story progress, so some Snapshots unlock when you reach a certain point. Others need optional collectibles such as beans. This first one should unlock early in Level 1.

Family Album
Find 50% of Snapshots

There are 70 Snapshots in total, so you should need 35 of them.

Paparazzi
Collect All Snapshots

Get all 70. The Scrapbook shows the goals for each level and marks the ones you have already cleared.

Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum,
Find All Magic Beans

Every level except Ogre Killer and Final Fight should hold 12 beans, for a total of 108.

For the exact spots, see our Magic Bean locations guide.

For the People
Free All NPCs which need Freeing

Free every captured character:

• Shrek’s Swamp: the Seven Dwarves
• Prison levels: the Three Blind Mice and eight prisoners
• The Mines: Tiny Tot, Short Fuse, Little Bird and Small Fry
• Prison Break: the Porkchop Brothers

The Dwarves sit next to several beans, so they are covered in the Magic Bean locations guide as well.

At your Service
Complete all tasks for the King in Far Far Away

The Far Far Away level has six tasks for the King. A green marker shows a task you still need to do, and a red marker shows one you have finished.

• Chickens: herd 12 of them into the pen.
• Troll: collect the 196 jewels behind him around the museum. He kills in one hit, so keep away from him.
• Thugs: stun 12 thugs and put them in the wagon.
• Cinderella: keep her safe while she goes window-shopping.
• Humpty: collect his 7 shell pieces.
• Pied Piper: defeat 175 rats, then the Piper himself.

Top o’ The Morning
Find Crazy Larry in all Instances

Crazy Larry runs the upgrade shops, and in some levels he also charges you to open a passage. You meet him in these levels:

• Shrek’s Swamp: opens a passage
• Spooky Forest: first shop, and he opens a passage
• Walking The Path: second shop, and he opens a passage
• Prison Break: third shop
• Cookie, Cookie: last encounter

Here is what each kind of encounter looks like. First, his shop in Walking The Path:

And his passage in Walking The Path, where he asks for coins to open the gate:

Getting Stronger
Unlock First Upgrade

Buy any upgrade. The first shop is in Spooky Forest.

Big Spender
Purchase 4 Upgrades

Buy four upgrades in total.

Fully Upgraded
Purchase All Upgrades (9 total)

Buy all nine upgrades.

Pocket Change
Collect 250 Coins

The three coin achievements count every coin you pick up, so you never need to hold 1,000 coins at once. Each one unlocks at the next checkpoint, not the moment you reach the number.

They come quickly if you grab every coin you see. All three can unlock by the middle of Level 2.

Buy the Coins Doubler upgrade early. It costs 500 and is sold in Level 2, and it makes the other upgrades much faster to afford.

Pot o’ Gold
Collect 500 Coins

Keep collecting. This one also unlocks at a checkpoint.

Make It Rain
Collect 1000 Coins

Reach 1,000 coins collected in total, then hit a checkpoint.

Green Horn
Defeat 125 Enemies

This and the next three achievements count every enemy you defeat across the game.

Villains Beware
Defeat 250 Enemies

Defeat 250 enemies in total.

Bane Of Villains
Defeat 500 Enemies

Defeat 500 enemies in total.

They See Me Coming
Defeat 1000 Enemies

Defeat 1,000 enemies in total.

Got them all!
Defeat at least 1 Enemy of Each Type

The simplest way is to fight every group you meet instead of running past it.

These are the enemy types from the original game’s walkthrough:

• Snails
• Turtles
• Piranhas
• Robin Hood’s Merry Men
• Rats
• Bats
• Pumpkins
• Trolls
• Spiders and giant spiders
• Prison guards
• Frogs
• Stone Warriors
• Knights and potion throwers
• Fat knight (a boss in Spooky Forest first, then a regular enemy)

Everybody’s Special
Use all Characters’ special abilities

Each time a new character joins, use their special as soon as it has a charge.

• Shrek: Lift
• Fiona: Time Slow
• Donkey: Burro Blast
• Gingy: Cookie toss to lure enemies
• Lil’ Red: Exploding apples
• Puss: Tightrope walking
• Big Bad Wolf: Huff n’ Puff
• Fairy: Float
• Human Shrek and Steed Donkey: Charge

Hero Needed
Complete 4 Perfect Hero Times (Don’t Take damage, make no mistakes)

A Perfect Hero Time means you take no damage and make no mistakes. Black Bird Pie also counts as one of the four.

Black Bird Pie
Pop All 12 Birds during Fiona’s Hero Time

This is the rhythm game with Fiona at the end of Shrek’s Swamp. You need to hit every note so that all 12 birds pop.

• If you miss a note, Fiona starts coughing. Stop pressing buttons at that point. When the song ends, the level ends too, and you would have to replay it.
• If you fail the song instead, only the cutscene restarts and you can try again right away.
• The prompts always show Xbox buttons, whatever controller you use. The nests are laid out like the buttons on a gamepad.
• On keyboard and mouse, the buttons are W, A, S and D.

One player reports that this achievement is bugged: in four attempts, the last bird never popped, so it did not unlock.

We’re going shopping
Complete Shopping Spree Without Cinderella getting hurt

This is the Shopping Spree task in Far Far Away.

• Pick the one character you are most comfortable with and play the whole fight with them. Fiona works well because her attacks are fast.
• Use the stun attack (jump + attack) over and over.
• Stun the enemies the other characters are fighting, but stay close to Cinderella. Even when only one enemy is left, new ones spawn quickly.
• Avoid the regular attack. It can start a combo that carries your character away from Cinderella.
• If it is still too hard, buy more upgrades and come back to the level later.

Mightier Than the Sword
Complete Ogre Killer without getting Hurt

You need to press every button prompt correctly, with no mistakes.

If that is hard, press all four buttons at once, again and again. The game does not punish a wrong button as long as one of the pressed buttons is correct. This may be a bug and could be fixed in a future update.

Attack of The Giant Tomatoes
Complete Gingerbread Man’s Hero Time in Less than 45 Seconds

Finish Gingy’s Hero Time on Jack and Jill’s Farm in less than 45 seconds.

Can’t Touch Me
In single player finish any level without getting hurt

Any level works except Ogre Killer, as long as no character takes damage. There are two easy ways to do it.

Option 1: Replay Far Far Away

1. Load Far Far Away again.
2. Go straight to one of the King’s tasks.
3. Pick Go To Next Level.

Option 2: Clear Shrek’s Swamp

Level 1 has only two spots where you are likely to get hurt.

The first is the arena with Robin Hood’s gang. As soon as you enter, go left to the two floor traps and put Shrek and Fiona in them, so fewer characters are in play. Then switch to Gingy and attack while jumping from the spot shown below. He throws his cane like a boomerang.

The cane aims at enemies on its own but deals little damage, so you need a lot of jumps. Once the enemies near the entrance are gone, move in and hit the ones further away.

The second spot is the crocodile bridge. Wait until the crocodiles come up and start going back down, then use Fiona’s Time Slow and cross.

The rest of the level has almost nowhere to take damage.

Ring around the Coins
Play Ring Coliseum Bonus Level

Bonus level: Ring Coliseum
Missions needed: 21

No Dunking
Play Floating Floor Bonus Level

Bonus level: Floating Floor
Missions needed: 31

Walking on Air
Play Cloud Maze Bonus Level

Bonus level: Cloud Maze
Missions needed: 45

Wolf Trap
Play Cage Drop Bonus Level

Bonus level: Cage Drop
Missions needed: 59

Are You Not Entertained
Play Crash Coliseum Bonus Level

Bonus level: Crash Coliseum
Missions needed: 70

Say Cheese
Enter Photomode for the First Time

Open Photo Mode once. You can enter it from the main menu.

In Focus
Spend over 10 minutes in Photomode

Open Photo Mode and leave the game alone for a little over 10 minutes. The achievement unlocks only after you exit Photo Mode.

Giddy Up
See Shrek Ride Donkey (Idle Animation)

Leave the controls alone and wait for the idle animation where Shrek rides Donkey. The game has several idle animations and picks one at random, so it can take a while.

To improve your odds, go to the cage traps in Level 1 and put Fiona and Gingy in them. All the characters can play idle animations with each other, so fewer characters on screen means fewer other animations.

It can also unlock during normal play in that level without you noticing the animation.

Grand Theft Carriage
Get a Wanted Rating in Far Far Away

Attack one of the knights in Far Far Away and you get a three-star wanted rating. The stars fade after a short time on their own, so you do not need to do anything to lose them.
