Road Map

 

Introduction: There’s not much to say here. This is the video game adaptation of movie by the same title. It follows the exploits of Shrek and his comrades in their quest to foil Rumpelstiltskin's plan to ruin their lives. This game is clearly intended for a younger, less experienced audience and will most likely prove to be one of the easiest platinums available. It handles reasonably well and is so brief that you probably won’t even have time to criticize its lack of production value. As such, I highly recommend you rent this game. To further minimize the length of this game, I present the road map proper:

 

Step 1: Complete the game. Just follow the story and proceed as directed by the game. You can go ahead and collect collectibles as you come across them. However, you shouldn’t bother trying to find all of them your first time through, since you have to revisit every level any way (except the very last one). The reason for this is that you unlock abilities as your progress through the game and each level, except the last, has collectibles that require abilities only unlocked later in the game. The only other rule you should follow in this play-through is to purchase the gold drop upgrade and all of its tiers first. By doing this, you will be optimize your gold collecting, which will obviously aid in the trophy that requires you to purchase all the store items. Finally, you may want to go ahead and knock out all of the “combat trophies” early on. These are all listed under that section.

 

Step 2: Complete each level to 100%. Here you will have to replay each level until you’ve found all of the collectibles in it. As long as you’ve completed the game, you will have all of the necessary abilities to find all of the collectibles. The game auto-saves once you reach 100% in a level. So, to save a little more time, you can exit to the Ogre Camp, once you’ve completed a level to 100%.

 

Step 3: Mop up. You should have most, if not all, of the trophies at this point. If not, look below at the individual trophy guides for any help you may need.

Combat Trophies

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/1.jpg Let's Start a Sing-a-Long! (B)

Use Donkey Radio on an enemy

 

See the “Where’s the Party?” trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Where's the Party? (S)

Use Donkey Radio on five enemies at once

 

Donkey Radio is Donkey’s special ability. You use this ability by pressing :circle:. To select Donkey press :left:. There are plenty of opportunities to get this trophy, but if you want to get it out of the way early, you can get it in the first battle sequence of the Swamp level. Towards the end of this sequence, there will be plenty of enemies. Just wait until at least five enemies are around you and then activate the special ability. You should go ahead and get the other “five enemies at once” trophies at this point too.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/1.jpg Green And Mean (B)

Scare an enemy as Shrek

 

See the “Fear My Roar” trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Fear My Roar (S)

As Shrek, scare five enemies at once

 

Roaring is Shrek’s special ability. You use this ability by pressing :circle:. To select Shrek press :down:. There are plenty of opportunities to get this trophy, but if you want to get it out of the way early, you can get it in the first battle sequence of the Swamp level. Towards the end of this sequence, there will be plenty of enemies. Just wait until at least five enemies are around you and then activate the special ability. You should go ahead and get the other “five enemies at once” trophies at this point too.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/1.jpg Ogre Horn (B)

Sound-blast an enemy with Fiona

 

See the “Queen of the Swamp” trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Queen of the Swamp (S)

As Fiona, sound-blast five enemies at once

 

Sound-blasting is Fiona’s special ability. You use this ability by pressing :circle:. To select Fiona press :up:. There are plenty of opportunities to get this trophy, but if you want to get it out of the way early, you can get it in the first battle sequence of the Swamp level. Towards the end of this sequence, there will be plenty of enemies. Just wait until at least five enemies are around you and then activate the special ability. You should go ahead and get the other “five enemies at once” trophies at this point too.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/1.jpg Too Cute (B)

Use Puss in Boots' 'big eyes' to charm an enemy

 

See the “Purr…” trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Purr... (S)

As Puss, enchant five enemies at once

 

Enchanting is Puss’ special ability. You use this ability by pressing :circle:. To select Puss press :right:. There are plenty of opportunities to get this trophy, but if you want to get it out of the way early, you can get it in the first battle sequence of the Swamp level. Towards the end of this sequence, there will be plenty of enemies. Just wait until at least five enemies are around you and then activate the special ability. You should go ahead and get the other “five enemies at once” trophies at this point too.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Team Shrek (S)

Defeat an enemy with each of the four characters in 1 battle

 

This is very easy to get. Whenever you enter a battle, just be sure to defeat an enemy with every character. You can cycle through the characters by pressing the various buttons on the d-pad, or by pressing :triangle: or by pressing :r1:.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Shrek Goes Green (S)

Fill half of the Ogre Power meter

 

See “100% Green Ogre”.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/3.jpg 100% Green Ogre (G)

Fill up the Ogre Power meter

 

You fill up the Ogre Power meter by defeating enemies. As time passes, the meter will deplete. Also, the meter will drop to zero if you get attacked. The earliest you can get this trophy is in the Dragon’s Keep level, as only at this point are there enough enemies to defeat. While it is possible to get this during the battle sequences in this level, I recommend just waiting until the boss battle at the end of the level. At the beginning of this battle, if you don’t bother attacking the main boss and focus on killing the indefinitely spawning minions, you will eventually completely fill up your meter. Just be sure to defeat them as they become available. Otherwise, your meter will drop. And, of course, don't forget to not let yourself get hit.

Cooperative Mode Trophies

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Ogre Outpost (S)

Complete the Cooperative Multiplayer mode puzzle in the Swamp

 

See the "Ogre Mayhem" trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Ogre Outlaws (S)

Complete the Cooperative Multiplayer mode puzzle in the Docks

 

See the "Ogre Mayhem" trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Ogre Mayhem (S)

Complete the Cooperative Multiplayer mode puzzle in the Peasant Village

 

This trophy requires two controllers, but not two players, since the puzzle is very straight-forward and doesn’t require any dexterity. To have a second player enter, simply turn on the controller and press :start:. Once the puzzle is completed, you can press :select: to have the second player drop out.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Let's Have Some Fun (S)

Defeat an enemy in the Cooperative Mutliplayer mode

 

See the “The Party’s Here” trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg The Party's Here (S)

Complete a battle while in the Cooperative Multiplayer mode

 

This trophy requires two controllers, but not two players, since you can easily defeat all the enemies for a given battle by yourself. I recommend knocking this trophy out during the first battle in the Swamp level, since this is a particularly easy battle. When the battle starts, just press :start: on the second controller to have the second player enter. When you complete the battle, the trophy will unlock and you can press :select: to have the second player drop out.

Miscellaneous Trophies

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/1.jpg Big Treasure (B)

Open a big treasure chest

 

I believe the first time you will be able to get this trophy is during the Dragon’s Keep level, since only then do you have the necessary ability. In any event, you will have to open up all the big (and small) treasure chests in the game to get the platinum.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/1.jpg Just Getting Started (B)

Get your first health upgrade

 

Health upgrades can be either found in levels, as secret items, or purchased in the store. Get your first one to unlock this trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Shopping Spree (S)

Purcahse all store items

 

This is a sub-requirement of the “Ogre Camp Complete” trophy. See that trophy for more details.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Swamp Complete (S)

Complete 100% of the Swamp

 

See the “Docks Complete” trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Dragon's Keep Complete (S)

Complete 100% of the Dragon's Keep

 

See the “Docks Complete” trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Peasant Village Complete (S)

Complete 100% of the Peasant Village

 

See the “Docks Complete” trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Catacombs Complete (S)

Complete 100% of the Catacombs

 

See the “Docks Complete” trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Docks Complete (S)

Complete 100% of the Docks

 

To get this trophy, you have to clear the level, find all of the secret items, and find all of the treasure chests. You should know that you won’t be able to get all of the collectibles during your first play-through of the level. The reason is that you don’t unlock some required abilities until later in the game. As such, such I recommend just playing through the entire game so that you have all the abilities, then you can replay the levels, as needed.

 

You can check the progress you’ve made for each level by pausing the game and checking out the map. Most (if not all) of the collectibles are easy to find, as long as you investigate each area thoroughly. That said, the Docks level seems to be giving some people issues. Fortunately, Ace Attorney 86 from our sister site has created a chest guide for that level. Just follow this link.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Rumpel's Palace Complete (S)

Complete 100% of Rumpelstiltskin's Palace

 

This is just like the other “Complete 100%” trophies, with the notable exception that you do not have to replay this level, since you will have all of the necessary abilities unlocked your first time through.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/2.jpg Ogre Camp Complete (S)

Complete 100% of Ogre Camp

 

To get this trophy, you have to purchase all of the goods at the store and find all of the treasure chests. Note that some chests require abilities that are unlocked as you progress through the game.

 

For purchasing things from the store, you should buy the gold drop power up and all it’s upgrades first. This will optimize your gold collecting as the game progresses, and therefore, minimize any grinding that you would have to do to get enough gold to purchase all the other items. I’m pretty sure the first gold drop upgrade becomes available after the Peasant Village level. After you’ve fully upgraded the gold drop power up, feel free to choose the order in which you purchase the other store items.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/466/4.jpg True Love's Kiss (P)

Unlock all other trophies

 

This will unlock after you unlock all the other trophies. Enjoy!

Nice work with the trophy guide Cauchy, however I got Platinum in 4 days without ANY help from a guide:) I know it's a kids game but I am proud of telling myself I didnt need help with such an easy Plat:applause:

Good going. Many of us are struggling with a couple treasures but if you could make a collectibles guide that would be quite helpful and I'm sure you could get some reward for it.

Aside from the docks (for which a guide has been provided), the collectables are not difficult in this game. A detailed list for every area wouldn't warrant the amount of time/effort required to write it up, but if Cauchy (or anyone else) wants to do so, more power to them.

 

You summed it up very nicely Aeliana. I can say with 99.999% certainty that I shall not be writing up a collectible guide, as this game has long since been returned to GameFly. That said, if anybody does decide to write up a detailed guide (or if one ever pops up on the interweb), then I'll gladly provide a link.

Wow. They put a whole 10 seconds into thinking of trophy design for this one.

 

Good guide. Not necessary, but it's nice to see the trophies out in the open. You know, because they look so cool and original and all. :p

 

One note here: for the "scare 5 people at the same time, etc." trophies, I would advise doing them against the pumpkins in the swamp. This occurs immediately at a save point, and you are attacked by 8 pumpkins who always crowd you. After you get the trophy, quit and restart with another character (or maybe you can just switch to another character and use the same ability, although some of the pumpkins might explode).

 

A weird note: for Donkey and Fiona, I actually got the silver trophy before the corresponding bronze. Apparently, the game recognized "scare 5 enemy" before it recognized "scare one enemy".
