Shrek 2 Remastered Achievements: All 45 Listed
All 45 Shrek 2 Remastered achievements with unlock conditions, plus a roadmap for the grinding, collectible and no-hit tasks.
Shrek 2 Remastered has 45 achievements. Most unlock by finishing the 11 chapters, collecting all 108 Magic Beans and 70 Snapshots, buying all nine upgrades and clearing the five bonus levels. The hardest are the no-hit level runs, the four perfect Hero Times and the 1,000-enemy grind.
The achievement list is generous for a remaster. There are no multiplayer-only achievements, no difficulty settings and no missable story achievements. Everything can be earned solo, and most of it comes naturally from a completionist run.
The grind is the exception. Several achievements require hundreds of enemy defeats, and the no-hit tasks demand a full level without taking damage.

Combat achievements (8)
| Achievement | Condition |
|---|---|
| Green Horn | Defeat 125 enemies |
| Villains Beware | Defeat 250 enemies |

The 1,000-enemy grind is best done in Crash Coliseum, which sends nine waves of enemies. The no-hit level run is easiest in Shrek's Swamp on a replay with upgraded characters.
Which enemies count for Got them all!
Crash Coliseum covers most of the checklist in one run: pumpkins, rats, punters, knights, frogmen, giant spiders, Trolls, stone golems and golden golems. The ones it does not cover are the witches in Spooky Forest, the wasps and farm animals in Jack and Jill's Farm, and Puss in Boots in Ogre Killer. If the achievement has not popped after a full coliseum clear, replay those three chapters and kill one of each enemy before finishing.
Do achievements carry across saves?
The game does not show a profile-wide counter for enemy kills or coins, so it is hard to tell whether progress is stored on the save or the profile. Keep the clean save for the grind and use a second save only to sample levels. Do not delete a save that is holding your 108-bean progress until the collectible achievements have popped.
Collectible achievements (6)
| Achievement | Condition |
|---|---|
| Family Album | Find 50 percent of Snapshots (35) |
| Paparazzi | Find all 70 Snapshots |
| Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum | Find all 108 Magic Beans |
| Top o' The Morning | Find Crazy Larry in every location |
| For the People | Free every NPC who can be freed |
| In Focus | Spend over 10 minutes in Photo Mode |
The collectible achievements are the core of the completion run. The Magic Beans and Snapshots guides on this site cover the routes.
Chapter challenge achievements (7)
| Achievement | Condition |
|---|---|
| Grand Theft Carriage | Earn a wanted rating in Far Far Away |
| At your Service | Complete all of the King's tasks |
| Black Bird Pie | Pop all 12 birds in Fiona's Hero Time |
| We're going shopping | Finish the Cinderella escort without her getting hurt |
| Mightier Than the Sword | Beat Ogre Killer without taking damage |
| Attack of The Giant Tomatoes | Finish Gingy's Hero Time in under 45 seconds |
| No Dunking | Complete Floating Floor |
These are the skill checks. The Cinderella escort and the Ogre Killer no-hit run are the two that cause the most retries.
Bonus level achievements (4)
| Achievement | Condition |
|---|---|
| Ring around the Coins | Complete Ring Coliseum |
| Walking on Air | Complete Cloud Maze |
| Wolf Trap | Complete Cage Drop |
| Are You Not Entertained | Complete Crash Coliseum |
The bonus levels unlock through Snapshots. You do not need all 70 to start them, but the last ones require a high count.
Roadmap
- Play the story normally and collect what you see.
- Finish the story to unlock all chapters and the bonus levels.
- Replay chapters for the 108 beans and 70 Snapshots.
- Buy all nine upgrades with the coins from the collectible runs.
- Clear the five bonus levels.
- Do the no-hit and timed challenges with upgraded characters.
- Grind the remaining enemy kills in Crash Coliseum.
- Finish Photo Mode and the idle animations.
Following this order avoids wasted runs. The upgrades make the challenge achievements much easier, and the bonus levels give you the enemy density for the kill grind.
The collectible achievements are the long pole, so start with the 108 Magic Beans route → before the no-hit runs.
