Easy Prey / Threats Identified (with images)

An image guide of every enemy require for the "Easy Prey" and "Threats Identified" achievements.

Introduction

"Easy Prey" and "Threats Identified" will have you go after at least one of every unique enemy. There are a total of 18 guardians and 22 standard enemies.

Tips

• If you have already defeated a guardian before, a blue star symbol will appear above it's health bar. This only applies to the one you've defeated and does not carry over to any other of the same species. (For example the 2 squids on Kronos)
  
• Unlocking every portal on an island will unlock fast travel for that island in particular.
  
• It would be easiest to go for the rest of the guardians after obtaining every other achievement since Sonic will have maxed out stats.

The two unnamed enemies are the Capture (emerald thief) and Balloon (Drowning enemy), and both can only be defeated by Stomping them.

I'm pretty sure I never killed a single Chopper in my playthrough (they only appear in 1-6 and can't be homing-attacked) and Easy Prey achievement still popped out after destroying an wolf pack in the final island.

3-7 is located at the top right of the map.

What do you mean "3-7"? There seems to be 6 Chaos Island Cyberspace levels!

12/2/2022 update: So it seems that the Squids on Chaos Island do indeed count separately from the Squids on Kronos Island. This is likely due to the fact that the Squids on Chaos Island were originally intended to have "fire forms" as seen in concept art from the digital artbook.

No clue if this will be fixed or not, but I've updated the guide accordingly. If "Threats Identified" hasn't popped for you, double check the Squids on Chaos Island.

is there an enemy that is hiding from everything???? I KILLED EVERY SINGLE ENEMY AND NO MATTER WHAT, I STILL CAN'T GET THE EASY PREY ACHIEVEMENT!

[Izeyash]

Your guide makes it seem that you need to kill every single enemy once, but I didn't and got the achievement regardless. Enemy types seem to matter, so a ninja can count as one type and kunoichi / master ninja as the same

I was missing the fortress only.

Cheers, was missing Maxwell west of 4-3
