Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition Chronological %100 Achievement Guide

A guide to get all achievements in Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition in an order of their appearance. This guide will take you from the beginning, show you the way, and leave you with a perfect game.

Introduction

Hello and thank you for checking out this guide. This is a chronological %100 achievement guide, which means if you start the game while following this guide when you finish the guide you will get %100 of the achievements and perfect the game.

This means this guide will tell you stuff that game generally will hold back until you finish it at least once. So: SPOILERS AHEAD.

I only recommend this guide to the players who want to get their achievements and move on with their lives. If your enjoyment is mostly at discovering things on your own, it is possible that this guide is not for you. I was from the second party for most of my life and never checked guides like these before, but as time passed, I felt like I enjoyed following guides like these more and even started writing them. Things change, all cool.

If you are searching for a specific achievement, you can search this page by clicking on Ctrl + F and writing the achievement name.

If you think there are parts to improve in this guide, please leave a comment so I can look into it. Additions will be made with credits to your profile name.

Also, check the credits at the bottom of this guide as I couldn't have made this guide without their prior contributions.

Achievement Breakdown

Total Achievements: 59
By Achievement Type:

• Story Related: 12
  
• Collectibles: 10
  
• Special Actions: 9
  
• Completion: 28

By Connectivity:

• Offline: 59

By Game-Mode:

• Single Player: 59

By Content Source:

• Base Game: 50
  
• Nightmare in the North Point DLC: 5
  
• Year of the Snake DLC: 4

We have a total of 59 achievements for Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition. This version already includes all of the DLCs so nothing else needs to be purchased. There are no online achievements, no multiplayer/co-op achievements, and no bugged achievements. All achievements are earnable as of the time this guide is posted.

The base game itself holds most of the achievements, but we will need to go to additional story DLCs and finish them as well, to reach %100 completion. DLC data and main game data are not interchangeable, so you won't be able to use the cars you get in the main game at DLCs, but it will be possible to get some additional content from story DLCs to the main game.

We have 12 story-related achievements. If you finish the storylines, you will get these, so in a way they are unmissable. The number also includes the DLC achievements.

Then we have 10 collectible achievements. These achievements are about going to many different places on the map and collecting things or interacting with them. For the main game, I won't be showing these around, but for DLCs, I will leave some remarks as in the DLCs there is no way to detect these collectibles.

Thirdly, we have 9 special action achievements. These will require you to do something specific in-game, sometimes only once, sometimes repeatedly, and sometimes for some time.

The last category is completion. Almost half of the achievements are in this category. This basically tracks your overall progression and gives you achievements as you reach certain milestones. Following this guide, you will get these naturally.

How Will We Do It?

Let's lay down some ground rules:

This is an open-world game. You can find things in a different order than in this guide. It is totally normal. Think of this guide as an overly explained checklist. If you get the achievement before where it shows in the guide, congratulations, you can mark it off earlier. If you can't get it when it shows in the guide, that's no problem, you will always have time to re-do things or do them in other ways. This would be especially true for special actions achievements.

If you are following this guide, don't expect it to have all the information you will need in this journey. It will show an approximate line you can follow, that would net you achievement perfection in this game that should be close to optimal. It will try to have the info you will need when you need it but will try not to spoil it as much as it can.

So in a sense, this is not a complete walkthrough. The guide will not have information on how to finish each and every mission. Generally, most of the missions are doable without additional information. But some of the missions would need you to pay attention to some details. You will be able to find those in the guide. Hopefully, we can strike a balance between spoiling the missions and not missing achievements while doing them.

Now onto how we will actually do things, the strategy of it:

We divide the game into main story missions. They will be having the Chapter names in the guide and you can follow them from the sidebar of this guide. In the main-game and NiNP DLC they show as green icons and in YotS DLC they show as blue icons.

Between the main story missions, we will focus on the side missions, favors, races, jobs, etc. that come in the same district. There are 4 districts in the game and we will generally not go to another district for the sake of side missions. We will do these when we arrive to these places for "official" main story mission reasons.

Generally, we will follow proximity for these side missions, but will also consider where they start and end. Sometimes we will handle business before starting a mission, and sometimes after.

Collectibles:

Since this game has a lot of collectibles, we also need to talk about them before starting. Our main strategy toward these items is to collect them whenever you come across them, but don't specifically seek out them. So while you are in a car or running, if you see something glowing, that counts as nearby and you can go get it before you start doing your next thing.

Through the base game side missions, we will unlock a feature that will allow us to see these collectibles on our map and we will finish them in our district-based system. This way we won't need to go over 100+ locations at the end of the game just to get the collectibles. After we open this feature, our general strategy will be similar towards collectibles: Get them if they are near the point of interest we want to go, don't bother if not.

One main consideration while preparing this guide was trying to make it feel as less grindy as possible. This means it tries to prevent doing the same thing over and over for longer than 2-3 times. You can get 50 health shrines after you finish everything, which to me would feel extremely boring, and probably would be a reason why I won't perfect the game. Or we divide this burden throughout the main missions, so when the end times come, we will have very few left where we can finish without much trouble.

This guide also tries to maximize in-game tools for collectibles rather than putting a map for them here. But again, DLCs obviously didn't get that kind of love from devs, so although the guide will explain their locations with text, there will be some maps for those collectibles.

Achievements:

Different from other guides, this guide will have special headings called "Achievement Start". You will see this generally for cumulative and completion achievements. It's to remind you that there is this kind of achievement that you need to pay attention to from that time on. Then afterward, you will see another header called Achievement, which is when we receive it. Not all achievements need this setup, so you won't see it for all.

Together with Achievements, we will also see Stat Awards headings throughout the guide. These will indicate that from that point forward you can start increasing these stats. There are 32 stats that need gold awards, so there will be quite many things to keep in mind. The guide will show some optimal locations for some of these stats.

According to some players, it becomes easier to get some stats if we save scum. I honestly don't have time for that, so if a stat requires that we will discuss it there, but in the guide we don't have any save scumming.

Since you can get achievements at different times, in the appendix, I will give you a list of achievements ordered by their appearance in this guide. If you get them earlier/later, you can still track them from that list. You can add the list in the appendix to your steam notes for this game, and strikethrough the ones you get. Stat Awards will also have another appendix so you can track them by yourself.

Open World Events

There are open-world events in this game. These happen at the same place but don’t happen all the time. You need to drive through there to see them. I added them as I came across to, but you might be seeing them before/after me. They will have a header that starts with "Event" followed by its type. You can search for them at the end if you are missing any.

Mission #1: Vendor Extortion

Achievement Start: Foodie

Try 10 different foods or drinks.

Start eating and drinking whatever you see around. When you reach 10 different foods or drinks, you will get this achievement.

• Dragon Kick
  
• Herbal Tea
  
• Noodle Bowl
  
• Pork Bun
  
• Fish Dumpling Skewer
  
• Roasted Duck
  
• Ice Cream
  
• Curry Fish Balls
  
• Chicken on a Stick
  
• Spicy Squid ( Harder to come across )

The night market is full of food you can’t see on the map.

Achievement Start: Fashion Victim

Purchase all clothing.

There is an achievement for purchasing all the clothing. This is where we start moving towards that. In the future, any time you extra 10k disposable income, go to a clothing vendor and buy everything you can. This is viable in North Point. Most clothing shops are in North Point.

Legendary Clothes are bit more expensive. You can still get the 10k ones but for the more expensive ones, I would suggest to wait until we get the %40 off from Level 10 Face Level.

The clothing we find from lockboxes doesn’t count.

---

Completion Achievements

The achievements below are just for tracking your overall progression. I am adding them here as this is the place we officially start working towards these.

Achievement Start: Rookie

Complete 10% of all missions, cases, favors, events, jobs, and races.

Achievement Start: Officer

Complete 25% of all missions, cases, favors, events, jobs, and races.

Achievement Start: Detective

Complete 50% of all missions, cases, favors, events, jobs, and races.

Achievement Start: Chief Inspector

Complete 100% of all missions, cases, favors, events, jobs, and races.

Achievement Start: Slight Silver

Achieve 5 Silver Stat Awards.

Achievement Start: Substantial Silver

Achieve 15 Silver Stat Awards.

Achievement Start: Solid Silver

Achieve 30 Silver Stat Awards.

Achievement Start: Strike Gold

Achieve 1 Gold Stat Award.

Achievement Start: Gold Rush

Achieve 5 Gold Stat Awards.

Achievement Start: Golden Touch

Achieve 15 Gold Stat Awards.

Achievement Start: Pure Gold

Achieve 30 Gold Stat Awards.

Achievement Start: Man Around Town

Visit Aberdeen, Central, Kennedy Town, and North Point.

You shouldn't even bother making this achievement a priority, as it will come naturally during your visit to Hong Kong. The missions will take us to all of these districts.

Since we are already at North Point, it would count as Achievement Start.

---

Character Achievements

Character achievements are divided into three: Cop experience, triad experience, and face experience. Face and Cop experience has many different missions to contribute to them, while the Triad experience is generally only earned from main story missions.

While writing this guide, also reading from many different guides, I was under the impression that the better way to handle this problem is to go for Cop experience first, then try to get the triad experience. Doing so forces us to not focus on small increases on triad exp, and at the end of the game, it lets us replay a couple of missions. Also, while trying to get more triad experience and doing some side missions, some of the cop experience goes to waste, as it's already at level 10.

Instead of doing it in this order, one might try to get the triad first and then focus on the cop. Although this is the conclusion I reached after finishing the game, while writing the guide, I focused first on cop exp, so you will see it in that order.

There are clothing pieces that, when created in a set, give 5/10/15 percent extra cop exp, triad exp, or face exp. Make sure you wear triad bonus experience sets before main story missions, otherwise, you might need to replay them at the end of the game. Make sure to check a couple of the next side missions whenever you are close to home in order to maximize your triad/cop experiences.

For face exp, apart from the sets, you can wear chain, watch, glasses, etc. That increases the face exp separately. We will have so many missions after we reach level 10 face, so this is also not a big issue.

Achievement Start: Super Cop

Unlock ten Cop Upgrades.

Achievement Start: Ultimate Fighter

Unlock ten Triad Upgrades.

Achievement Start: Minor Face

Achieve Face Level 2.

Achievement Start: Gaining Face

Achieve Face Level 5.

Achievement Start: Great Face

Achieve Face Level 10.

Stat Awards

All the stat awards start counting from this mission. The numbers in each stat represent their Silver | Gold requirements. Taken from THN guide.

Stat Awards: Overall 1/32

You will unlock this through natural progression.

You can vault over cars to hit people.
You can vault over vendors’ stalls to kill them.

Stat Awards: Environmentalist 3/32

Environmental Kills: 25 | 50
F to grapple people. Then, look for the red environment items. Get near them and press F again.

Achievement Start : Environmentalist

Perform 5 unique environmental kills.
This achievement goes hand in hand with this stat award. Do this enough, and the achievement will pop. I am putting some of the environmental items you can use here, but there are tens of different environmental objects you can use throughout the game, so don't really worry about it. Just keep it in mind until you get it.

• Slider from first Mission
  
• Garbage Bins
  
• Telephone Booths
  
• Fans
  
• Electric Panels

Stat Awards: Defence 4/32

Counters: 50 | 100
This should be one of the easiest gold stats we can get. Getting the first gold will also give an achievement.

Stat Awards: Martial Artist 5/32

You will unlock this through natural progression.

Stat Awards: Public Enemy 10/32

Stat Awards: Survivor 11/32

Total Time Survived above Heat Level 1: 0:10:00 | 0:20:00
You can check the heat level from the right side of the minimap. When you see it as 2 or above, drag the cops along with you. Don't destroy their cars, and don't speed away. Do it like 1-2 mins each time, and you should get this before the end of the game without any issues.

Mission #2: Night Market Chase

Right after this, we get the first opportunity for a favor.
Also, you can start eating/drinking from vendors.

Achievement: In with the Gang 1/59

Complete Night Market Chase.



Story-related, cannot be missed.

Achievement Start: North Point Scavenger

Unlock every lockbox in North Point.

While running after Ming, we will see one in Night Market. But if we didn’t get that, there will many around North Point we will open while doing the side missions before our next Main Mission.

Achievement Start: Spritiual Healing

Pray at all of the Health Shrines.

There will be a total of 50 Health Shrines in the game. They are red and flashing. Praying at them, when reach milestones, increase the health, so whenever you see them around, make sure to send a prayer or two.

There is one right in front of our house. That would be the first one, probably.

Stat Awards: Explorer 12/32

Total Collectables Found: 120 | 175

You will start collecting right around here. You will see collectibles glowing, that would help you.
Also, the thugs you see on the map as red, generally have some lockboxes around them.

Stat Awards: Safe Driver 13/32

Total Clean Drive Time: 00:15:00 | 00:30:00

We will drive a lot of cars. Anytime you drive safely for some time, it starts adding to this stat. Any car you find around should help.

This is not in seconds, you need to drive a total of 30 minutes to get this.

Always drive with cars until we get this. Bikes don’t count.

Achievement Start: Safe Driver

Cruise for 2 minutes straight without damaging your car.

As long as you try to achieve stat awards for Safe Driver, you will always get close to this one. There are some tricks to get this, but an adequate drive with a mid-level car should get you this.
Bikes don’t count.

Achievement Start: Mr. Nice Guy

Favors will be identified as a yellow "chat" circle with a silhouette of a person in the middle. Some favors will only unlock through story progression. Dates also count as favors. There are 36 in all.
With the favors opening we will start inching towards this achievement.

Favor: Pay Hospital Bills 1/36

Favor: A Quiet Drive 2/36

Favor: Cheaters Never Prosper 3/36

Teaches about Tire Irons. After this one case is closer. Start the case with blue icon, then go to next favor.

Achievement Start : Whatever's Handy

Use 10 different melee weapons to defeat enemies.

The guide will try to mention the unique ones as we see them. Some melee weapons:

• Tire Iron - Car Trunks
  
• Crowbar - Car Trunks
  
• Knife - Many opponents will use these
  
• Cleaver - Many opponents will use these
  
• Briefcase - Can be found on pedestrians
  
• Handbag - Can be found on pedestrians
  
• Umbrella - Can be found on pedestrians
  
• Fish - Some missions have it
  
• Hand Grinder - Mission Related
  
• Machete - Mission Related

There are even more types of melee weapons, but these are pretty common ones.

Stat Awards: Handyman 14/32

Melee Weapons Kills: 25 | 50

Any melee weapon would do. Should be one of the easier stats.

New Case Available: Popstar Start 1/4

Favor: Fashion Advice 4/36

Can go to Popstar Lead 1 after this favor.

Case: Popstar Lead 1

Case: Popstar Lead 2

Finishing this lead will open up the drug busts for us.

Achievement Start: Gadgetman

Pick a lock, plant a bug, trace a phone, crack a safe, and take over a spy camera.

Story progression will take us through all these acts.

Achievement Start: Hong Kong Super Hacker

Hack every Security Camera in the game.

There will be 26 security cameras in HK. Most of them will open with a Drug Bust, but some will need additional trips. A date we will have later on will show all the locations of these security cameras.

This one here is the first one.

Achievement: Environmentalist 2/59

Perform 5 unique environmental kills.



One of the earliest achievements we can get. We should be getting this before the next main story mission.

Amanda

Dates count as Favors. But this mission probably doesn't count as a favor. If I count it, the total favor number becomes 37, 1 more than what we see in the statistics.

Helping her will open up Martial Arts for us.

Call Amanda after this. She will want to meet at Victoria Peak for photographing. If it doesn’t show up immediately do some other missions and try calling her again.

Achievement Start: Martial Law

Defeat all 4 Martial Arts Clubs.

Martial Arts Club: North Point 1/4

Make sure to drink Dragon Kick.

There is a Wing Chun cloth at the legendary clothes store for 10k. That’s very helpful.

For the most part, countering is enough. Don’t forget to hold to do some heavy attacks.

There are huge dudes that hold you, try not to get hold by them. If you got hold, press E to get out.
If you can’t get it now, you can always try it later on, when we get more melee training when we bring more statues.

Achievement Start: Event Driven

Complete half of the open-world events.

Achievement Start: Event Planner

Complete all of the open-world Events.

After we finish the Popstar Lead 2, we will start seeing Drug Busts on the Map. These count as open-world events. Along with, shoplifters, hit and runs, and junk in the trunks, there are a total of 28 events. Only drug busts show on the map, the rest shows up when you get close to them. Also, they don’t show up when it’s raining or at night.

Date: Photograph Amanda 1/5 Favor 5/36

Take a taxi to the nearest Park to Amanda and take your bike from there.

After this health shrines appear on your map. Press Q to see collectibles on Map.

Any time you finish a mission, check the map for health shrines from now on. They also show up on your minimap, so you can also get them while wandering around.

Drug Busts: Foo Long Overpass 1/17

You don't need to immediately go back to your home after each drug bust. Try to select another mission on the map to be able to see the other drug bust targets. After you finish couple of them, you can finalize them together at home.

Drug Busts: Lu Mei Alley 2/17

Drug Busts: Kam Chuk Overpass 3/17

Favor: Ting’s T-Shirt 6/36

Mission #2: Night Market Chase - Cont'd

Jade Statue 1/11

Sheep Statue in the Temple.

There are also 2 health shrines in the temple if you want to get them. One on the left side, following the water canal. Others also follow the same canal, this time to the right side.

Achievement Start: West End Scavenger

Unlock every lockbox in Kennedy Town and Aberdeen.

The first lockbox is where we take sunset photos. There are a couple of thugs protecting it.

Cockfighting: North Point

Bet with 500.

Achievement: Tourist 3/59

Win a bet on a cockfight.



It should be easy to get. And it is cheap enough to try a couple of times.

Stat Awards: Gambler 15/32

Gambling Earnings: 500,000 | 1,000,000

Here is definitely not to place to try this as max amount you can bet is 3000. We will get to different locations with higher stakes later on.

Drug Busts: Yao Ling Court 4/17

Meat Cleaver for Whatever’s Handy

Side: Return the Jade Statue: Sheep 1/11

Take Tackle Strike. We are going for Leg Break as it’s needed for a stat.

Achievement: Strike Gold 4/59

Achieve 1 Gold Stat Award.



We should get this achievement before the start of the next main mission. It could be many things, but defence and martial artist might be more likely.

Achievement: Minor Face 5/59

Achieve Face Level 2.



Beating people gives this, I guess.

Achievement Start: Auto Enthusiast

Purchase all vehicles.
Around this time Tran will call you to inform you about car purchases. You can start making your way toward this goal as well. Recent drug busts should give you a sizable sum.

Can buy some simple vehicles, but it’s better to wait until we reach level 10 Face. That gives us 40% off on all vehicles.

There is also a clothing set that adds another 15% to the discount. So, the idea is, we wait until we reach level 10 face, then wear the set, then buy all the vehicles. Until then, we might try to get some cars if we really fancy them. But generally speaking, the game gives you some cars from each class.

Since we will need clothes to get vehicles, we will first buy all the clothing and then buy all the vehicles. Vehicles are far more expensive than cloth.

Drug Bust: Den Lau Alley 5/17

Mission #3: Stick up and Delivery

Stat Awards: Fire Starter 16/32

Explosive Kills: 10 | 20
Cars we ram count as explosive kills.

Stat Awards: Wrecker 17/32

SWAT Pack DLC Related. Gives a vehicle. Don’t know if it counts for achievement.
Near Kam Chuk Overpass.
Whatever’s Handy: Police Baton, Cleaver

Special Event: High Speed

Gives a clothing. Probably does not count for achievements.

Complete a Case.



We will get this when we finish the last lead.

Achievement Start: Case Closed

Complete all cases.
There will be 4 cases in total. Each case will have multiple leads like the one we just finished. We will get this naturally.

Side: Return the Jade Statue: Snake 2/11

Get Leg Break.

Stat Awards: Bonebreaker 18/32

Limbs Broken: 40 | 100
Now that we have Leg Break, we can get moving with this stat award.

Stat Awards: Ninja 19/32

Sneak Kills - Approaching an enemy from behind and pressing F, F: 5 | 10
Making leg-break turns enemies back to us. You click F again to get this Ninja. Can easily gold this one.

Mission #5: Club Bam Bam

Fast Talk to Bouncer

Stat Awards: Fast Talker 20/32

Fast Talk Success: 5 | 10

There aren't many chances for fast talk throughout the game, and fast talks generally can only be found at missions. The guide will show you whenever a fast talk is possible.

Achievement: A Slap in the Face 7/59

Kill someone with a fish.



In the Club Bam Bam, we will get to 2nd floor and start fighting at some point. Grab someone and do environmental on the aquarium. Then, grab the fish and hit people with it until the achievement pops.

If it doesn't pop here, don't worry there will be missions in the future that takes place in a fish market.

Achievement Start: Karaoke Superstar

Achieving 90% and above for all songs at the Karaoke Bars in HK.
There will be 8 Karaoke songs overall. We will see them in the guide as we open them.

Karaoke: I Fought The Law 1/8

The karaoke cursor stays in the middle. You click the up or down arrow to move it up or down. You click shift+up or down to move it up and down to reach the edges.

For this song, there are three options: Shift + Up, Shift + Down, don’t touch. Easy to get more than 90%.

Jade Statue: Dragon 3/11

After Karaoke, go upstairs. At the bar.

You can get all the dudes upstairs here with Vault Attacks for the FLUID STRIKER stat award.

Progress for Whatever’s Handy: Fish

Favor: Tiffany 8/36

Call her after you wake up to get the next mission.

Date: Tiffany’s Song 2/5 Favor 9/36

Karaoke: All Out of Love 2/8

After finishing this song you will start to see Jade Statues on Your Map.

Karaoke: Reeling In The Years 3/8

You don’t need to sing this right now, but it is better to just get it out of the way.

Karaoke: Hit Me With Your Best Shot 4/8

Finishing Tiffany’s Song opened this one. If you want, we can finish this here; you can also choose to wait. We will need to sing a song later on in a mission, we can finish this one there so we don’t repeat it.

Side: Return the Jade Statue: Dragon 3/11

We can choose Disarm Tackle. I thought this was helpful with the Disarming Stat Award, but in reality, it’s not. This is a tackle, not a disarm. We understand disarms when it gives us a triad point in a mission.

Health Shrines: North Point ¼

Since we are able to see all the Health Shrines, thanks to Amanda, we can finish these before we go to the next mission.

After this, we should only see a melee training jade statue as not collected at North Point, but luckily, we will get it in the next mission. That is if we are quick.

Health shrines should be at least 15/50 on the collectible view now.

Mission #6: Meet Winston

Jade Statue: Dog 4/11

We should see this in the cutscene for this mission, in the Golden Koi.

Side: Return the Jade Statue: Dog 4/11

Get anything you like

New Case Available 2/4

Just start the case.

Case Hotshot Lead 1: Entered Race Scene

After this mission, we will have different types of races open for us based on the bikes and cars we have. It might be better to hang around a bit to see which one is the closest.

Race: Inducer | Class C | Car 1/20

The vehicle we get from this race is Class C.

Stat Awards: Racer 21/32

Races Won: 10 | 17
All the races will be included in the guide. 17 races are the base game races. The races we do due to mission requirements are also included in this number. So the one we have just done is part of this.

Achievement Start: Wei of the Road

Complete all Street Races.

17 base game races and 3 Street Racer Pack DLC races make a total of 20 races to win. This also means we will get the gold stat award before this achievement.

Opponents are generally too slow around the corners, so don't worry if you can't catch them on the straights. You can catch them around the corners.

Make sure you slow down for corners as well. Don't NFS hit turn the corners if you want better exit speed.

Also, make sure you are not hitting the random obstacles over the road.

Race: Alley Press | Class A | Bike 2/20

Needs a Class A Bike. If you finished the cop jobs from earlier, we should have an HKPD motorcycle. That’s fast enough to beat this. If you don’t see it, don’t sweat it; you can always come back to get it.

Race: No Sweat | Class C | Car 3/20

The impounded car from the first mission should be enough to beat this race.

Race: Crippling Road | Class B | Car 4/20

We got an HKPD SUV from a cop job above. Or you can get a Class B car from car stores if you don't see this race.

Special Event: Death by a Thousand Cuts

It's a very good event to finish couple of stats.
You need to get 30 kills. You can get it and move on with your life. But there is a bit of a problem here: I can't find this mission in Social Hub to replay. This means we need to farm our stats and then move on. If anyone can confirm this issue, that'd be great.

As there is no replay, it would be in our best interest to get as many of these stats as possible before moving on. So, consider dying when you are about to beat the mission.

Generally speaking, it is a hard mission, so you might have a hard time finishing it anyway. And that would help with the stats. Open your stat list, target one of the stats related to melee fighting, and try to get it. Since the enemies practically rain on you, it becomes very easy to increase these stats.

There is one thing to consider: You can’t grapple melee weapon-holding guys. Since you can’t grapple, no limb breaking, thus no bonebreaker and no ninja. It also means no environmentalist, but that's partly because there is not much of an environment to interact with.

Gold Cleaver for the Whatever’s Handy achievement.

Stats to focus:

• Fluid Striker: There is a concrete box at directly in front of you on the far side. Since it’s a bit small, it makes it frustrating to perform these. But along with this, you can get disarm as well, and kills too. So overall, trying this would increase multiple stats at once.
  
• Handyman: Melee Weapon Kills. All come with their weapon. Disarm them and use it against them.
  
• Disarming: Vault Disarm, adds to this stat. Disarm Tackle, which we learned in the martial arts club, doesn’t count for this stat.
  
• Defence: Countering. If you still haven’t got this one. Lots of opportunities here.
  
• Martial Artist: Total Melee Kills.
  
• Enforcer: Total Enemies Defeated.
  
• Public Enemy: Most kills in one play session. It doesn’t need to be here, but it eases up. Deaths don’t reset the counter for this stat.

Stat Awards: Disarming 22/32

Disarms: 25 | 50
Farm Mission: Mrs. Chu's Revenge

Grappling Stunned Enemies Disarms them. Charge Knee Stun.

Race: Enduro | Class A | Bike 5/20

This race takes 5-6 mins. Night race. Shouldn’t be many cars on the road. The beginning and end are on the alleys. Other bikes make tons of mistakes here, so just try to survive. Other parts of the race are almost full speed.

Don’t risk it. Make your turns nice and focus on the race.

Gives a Class A bike sting. Makes Class A Bike races far easier.

Achievement: Man Around Town 8/59

Visit Aberdeen, Central, Kennedy Town, and North Point.



This race takes us all over HK. If you didn’t visit these places by yourself till now, you will get this achievement now.

Mission #7: Listening In

After the scaffolding, when you jump onto the footbridge, there is a hack opportunity immediately to your left. I am not sure if you can do it in the mission, as I missed it while playing the mission, but even if you miss it, come back here to finish it before meeting Not Ping. Otherwise, you will come back here after meeting her.
We also moved toward the achievement Gadgetman with the bug and the picklock.

Date: Impress Not Ping 3/5 Favor 10/36

After finishing this, security Cameras will appear on the map.

Mission #8: Chain of Evidence

Stat Awards: Lucky Shooter 23/32

Blind-fire Kills: 5 | 10

You get this when you don't aim and fire from cover.

While we recreate the scene in the main mission, you have unlimited bullets. try to get as many blind fire kills as you can get. But there will be so many opportunities for this stat. You just need to remember doing it.

Stat Awards: Gunman 24/32

Firearm Kills: 50 | 100

Also starts with this mission.

Stat Awards: Sniper 25/32

Accuracy: 30% | 50%

Definitely focus on this after you get the lucky shooter. It counts the last 50 shots’ accuracy. If you use the pistols and take your time while shooting, it's not that hard. Aim for the body mass.

Stat Awards: Head Hunter 26/32

Headshots: 25 | 50

Go after Sniper. If you are confident with your aim, you can go for both at the same time.

Achievement Start: Gun Nut

Use 10 different firearms to defeat enemies.

This should come without much effort. Whenever you see a new gun lying on the ground or dropped by an enemy, grab it and kill someone with it; it can be an enemy or an innocent person.

You can check statistics to see which gun you have used to kill enemies. Statistics > Stats > All Statistics. You have to scroll down a fair bit. This guide will try to warn you anytime a new gun is available in a mission.

Guns you can come across:

• 9mm Pistol
  
• Golden 9mm Pistol
  
• .45cal Pistol w/ Taclight
  
• Machine Pistol
  
• .45cal SMG
  
• .45cal SMG w/ Taclight

Favor: Follow Tiffany 12/36

Case Hotshot Lead 2:

Achievement: Rookie 9/59

Complete 10% of all missions, cases, favors, events, jobs, and races.



We should be getting this around this time, if not earlier. I got this in my previous playthrough, so I don’t know the exact timing. If you followed this guide from the beginning, please add a comment so I can move this wherever you got it.

Achievement: Slight Silver 10/59

Achieve 5 Silver Stat Awards.



This one should pop around this time as we have some easy-to-finish stats up until this point.

Mission #9: Payback

You can move towards Lucky Shooter in this level as well. There is a very nice area where you can vault a lot where lots of dudes shoot at you. Get to the cover right next to them and spam bullets.

Sometimes, they will come out of it and run towards you. Let them come close, and then spam. You only need ten kills. You should be very close to getting this, so I will stop reminding you about this stat award.

After you finish it, you can focus on the other three stat awards that we discussed on the mission earlier.

Achievement: Stuntman 11/59

Successfully perform an action hijack.



Story will teach how to do it. Hold Q, then press Q when arrow turns green.

Achievement: That’ll Show ‘Em 12/59

Complete Payback.



Story related, cannot be missed.

Gun Nut: 9mm Pistol

Stat Awards: Hijacker 27/32

Action Hijacks Performed: 10 | 20

It’s better to go to left side of the cars to perform this. On a highway, you can jump from car to car and very quickly get that. Give this a little bit of time after the mission and finish it. You can even do it in the North Point city area.

Refrain from doing it with trucks if you’re not right next to them. Otherwise it takes longer to hijack them.

Achievement: Fashion Statement 13/59

Change all your clothes in your wardrobe or a clothing store.



By now we should have enough money to completely purchase couple of clothing stores’ inventory. And hopefully, we’ve already done it. If you don’t have this achievement till now, after going to bed and getting up, you need to change these clothing items to get this one:

• Torso
  
• Pants
  
• Shoes
  
• Hats
  
• Glasses
  
• Chains
  
• Watches
  
• Bracelets

Honestly, I got this before here and forgot to note down, so if there are other requirements or not all of the things needs to be changed, I can adjust that accordingly.

After you get your achievement, you can get back to the clothing you like.

Achievement Start: Kleptomanic

Hijack 5 trucks and collect their cargo.

After we get out of the house, we will get a call from Roland. He will ask us to hijack Knox trucks. They will have orange shields above them. Perform action hijacks and bring them to drop off location. Do it five times and you will get the achievement.

I hijacked these trucks before his call, right after I learnt about action hijacks, as they look juicy. Nothing happens.

Cop Job: Armored Robbery 01

This is right next to where we drop off the Knox Van.

Gives Swat Van.

Cop Job: Drug Runner 02

Close by after earlier mission.

Gives HKPD Cruiser

Cob Job: Hostage Situation 01

Near Kam Chuk Overpass. A bit far.

HKPD Van

Security Cameras: North Point ¼

If you followed the guide where we finished the Drug Busts in North Point, you should only have 2 more security cameras in NP. Hack them for your future self.

After this last cop job, we should be right next to last of them.

Spy cameras on map collectible view should at least be 9/26 now.

Mission #10: Uncle Po

We are officially going to Central for Business. Now from this mission on, we will have bunch of missions in Central. Make sure you drive to or run to each and get the collectibles on the way. It will reduce the time for cleanup later on.

Gun Nut: Machine Pistol

Achievement Start: Central Scavenger

Unlock every lockbox in Central.

Favor: Just A Little Driving 13/36

Good for increasing Survivor stat. You start with 3 heat.
Also good for Rogue Cop. You don’t lose Cop points for killing them.

Drug Bust: Dr Mong Memorial Overpass 6/17

Achievement: Gaining Face 14/59

Achieve Face Level 5.



Got this around these missions.

Cob Job: Armed Robbery 03

To the north of the central house.

Cop Job: Drug Runner 03

Very close to favor nearby.

Achievement: Gold Rush 15/59

Achieve 5 Gold Stat Awards.



Should pop around here. It is possible it popped even before here.

Achievement: Officer 16/59

Complete 25% of all missions, cases, favors, events, jobs and races.



Got this around this time.

Favor: Turn Losers into Winners 14/36

Cop Job: Armored Robbery 02

Northeast of our house

Gives Swat Tactical Uniform.

Drug Bust: Wah Fi Storage 7/17

Race: Starboard | Class A | Bike 6/20

We should have Sting by now.

Jade Statue: Tiger 5/11

Near where we ended the race, we should see the statue on the map. It’s in a Salzhaus Store.

Achievement: Safe Driver 17/59

Cruise for 2 minutes straight without damaging your car.



In front of Salzhaus, there is a roundabout. Get a Class B/C car and turn it around for 2 mins. This is one option.

Another option is just using normal roads. Roads in this district are bigger than North Point and have easier access to the Highway. If you get 30 seconds of clean drive somehow, just try to make it up to 2 minutes.

With a Class B car, starting from North Point, where the road goes to be one line in the tunnel, coming to the Central side, if you don’t go too fast, you get this 2 mins before you reach Kennedy Town. Roads are big enough to squeeze.

There are a couple of intersections in this route, but the road is big enough to mitigate the danger.

You don’t need to get this right now. I just had enough of the clean drive counter that I needed to clear my mind about it. Though I gotta note, getting the achievement doesn't remove the counter.

After this point, we will not discuss this achievement.

Drug Bust (Water Access): Central Sewage Output 8/17

There are boats on the shore when you go from the jade statue to this drug bust. You can get one and come here with a boat.

Or you can go there directly by car and jump to the sewage output there. You almost don’t swim, it’s very close.

All the people here have Assault Rifle w/ Taclight. If you didn’t get the kills for this weapon, you can try here to get one from the thugs, but if you die, you go back to North Point. Besides, we should already have that from a Cop Job.

I also found anti-riot shotguns and .45cal SMG w/ taclight here, but everyone was dead. So maybe you can get these here as well. I am not pushing more for these at this stage.

Gun Nut: .45 Cal Pistol w/ Taclight

In this drug bust.

Cop Job: Hostage Situation 02

To the east of our central house.

Drug Bust: Sui Shan Alley 9/17

Martial Arts Club: Central 2/4

There are doors on the buildings across the Roland’s Impound. You enter this area from there.

We should be able to beat these easily now.

Go for any of the melee stats you are missing. Trying for stats might make you fail this, but stats.

Favor: Cheaters Never Prosper Pt2 15/36

Cop Job: Drug Runner 04

Near Commercial District in Central.

Drug Bust: Wang Fu Parking 10/17

Jade Statue: Rooster 6/11

Right next to Drug Bust place. In the K-Bar. Unfortunately, there are no new songs for now.

Drug Bust: Tsim Shan Shan Alley 11/17

Race: Mailman | Class C | Car 7/20

After the race, go back to Central home to use surveillance for all of the drug busts.

Event: Loitering: Mall Loitering

Found it while driving the car around Central after the race.

Health Shrines: Central 2/4

If we get some while doing the missions above, we shouldn't have much left in this area. We can finish all the have some extra health boost.

Jade Statue: Boar 7/11

While getting to the health shrines, we will come close to the Central hospital. The statue is inside the hospital.

Security Cameras: Central 2/4

After drug busts, we should only have a few left.

After finishing them, the stat shows as: 17/26

Achievement Start: Bounty Hunter

Complete all of Roland's Jobs.

Total of 5 jobs.

We have known Roland for some time now. If you haven’t done it yet, you can call him to get some jobs from him. The job now was in North Point, so we didn’t do it until now, but we are going back to NP.

Job: Roland Collection: Samson Gao 1/5

Job: Tran: Find the marked Sparc 1/20

Don’t know when I called Tran. But here we are. It is possible you did this before.

There will be a total of 20 Tran missions. These missions will give boatloads of money. Each time you bring the car in, make sure there is no scratches on them. Even small dents cut thousands of dollars.

Also, anytime you deliver one car to Tran, call the Tran back so the next target can appear on your map. The guide will take you to these targets when we get close to them.

Return Jade Statue: Tiger 5/11

Return Jade Statue: Rooster 6/11

Return Jade Statue: Boar 7/11

Case: Hotshot Lead 3: Race: Water Stree | Class C | Car 8/20

Mission #11: Bride to Be

3 Fast Talks in the main mission.

Special Event: Shaolin Showdown

They can counter.

Can focus on Melee Stats.

Starting from this event, you might try to go for Public Enemy stat. 200 kills in one session. You will have 40 in this. And the next missions are full of hostiles.

Mission #12: The Wedding

Gun Nut: .45 Cal SMG w/ Taclight

Favor: Escort An Ally 16/36

At North Point

Favor: Pied Piper 17/36

Central > Commercial District

Favor: Distract the Cops 18/36

Close to Martial Arts Club at Central

Stat Awards: Deadeye 28/32

Thrown Weapon Kills: 5 | 10

This is the last original game stat that’s being taught to us right with the Distract the Cops favor. Have an object on hand and press Space to throw.

People say sometimes they ricochet and kill you, so have some space between yourself and the targets.

Case: Hotshot Lead 4

Achievement: Gadgetman 18/59

Pick a lock, plant a bug, trace a phone, crack a safe, and take over a spy camera.



With the phone traced, we should be getting this Achievement.

Stat Awards: Reckless Driver 29/32

Time Driven At Full Speed In Class A Car: 0:00:15 | 0:00:30

We get to own first-class A car after this case. High Roller Tuono. I mean, it’s possible you already bought one yourself, but that would require high levels of sacrifice.

Unlike the Clean Driver stat, this one counts the seconds, so you don't need to go around full speed for 30 minutes. 30 seconds is enough.

Mission #13: Mrs. Chu’s Revenge

You can start getting used to the deadeye, throwing knives, and other things in this mission.

It's a very good mission to replay if you are missing gunfire-related stats.

Special Event: Triad Highway

The car we get here is Class A. It feels like it’s at the slower end of the class. It might help with the Reckless Driver stat.

Mission #14: Meet the New Boss

Gun Nut: Golden .50 Cal Pistol

Race: Wall Street | Class A | Car 9/20

The next 3 races gave a crazy amount of face exp. Maybe has something to do with glasses, chain, x combo.

Race: Midtown | Class A | Car 10/20

Race: Unconventional | Class A | Car 11/20

Favor: Convoy Intercept 19/36

Mission #15: Loose Ends

New Case Available: Serial Killer Start 3/4

We will not go for the lead yet.

Event: Junk in the Trunk: Highway

Achievement: Event Driven 19/59

Complete half of the open-world events.
Depending on which unshown events you’ve found, you should get this here or around this time.

Event: Hit and Run: Repo Yard

At Central

Mission #17: Initiation

We will wake up in Aberdeen. Time to finish it up.

Your phone will beg you to call Jackie until the next mission. Don’t call until we put the Aberdeen in order.

Same with Central: Do the missions/races/events we see on the map and collect the collectibles you see on the way. Don’t go out of your way for the collectibles at the moment.

Race: Boat Run Boats 12/20

Drug Bust (Water Access): Chian Mai Sewer Interchange 12/17

Since we are still on the boat, we can go directly to this one.

This one counts as Kennedy Town, but it is on our way and very close to Aberdeen.

Don’t forget the lockbox in this place.

Gun Nut: Pump Shotgun

In this drug bust, with the first wave. So you can get it and use it on the second wave.

Drug Bust (Water Access): Aberdeen Sewage Outflow 13/17

Since we still have a boat, let’s go and handle this one at the other end of Aberdeen.

There is also a lockbox here.

There is also a pump shotgun here.

Achievement: Great Face 20/59

Achieve Face Level 10.



All that weird clothing for face exp paid off. We got this here. Now, we can focus on Cop and Triad levels with our clothing.

Also, now that we are Dai Lo, cars and clothes are 40% cheaper.

Cop Job: Armed Robbery 04

Close to Fish Market in Aberdeen.

Gives a police scanner to your house.

Cop Job: Drug Runner 05

Very close to other one.

Undercover Police Ghost Car

Favor: Safe Delivery 20/36

Drug Bust: Yen Yen Foo Long Underpass 14/17

Normally, this one is close to the Cop Jobs earlier, but for some reason, thugs didn’t spawn for me. I got the security cam without beating them. In that case, you are not able to do the surveillance, as the triad activity doesn’t get triggered. After the favor, I closed the game, and when I opened it again, I saw this drug bust on the map.

Race: Indecision | Class B | Bike 13/20

Race: Detour | Class B | Car 14/20

The car I had for this was NEO V, and I barely beat them.

Cop Job: Armed Robbery 05

Close to the detour ending location.

Cop Job: Wharf Smuggler

Near to unfinished Favor and case lead.

Gives Tactical Outfit

There is a health shrine here.

Next to the health shrine, there is a shipping container and boxes on top of it. You can go up to hack a security camera.

Also in this same wharf, near the foot of a bridge to the farthest end, there is a lockbox.

It’s better to get these to otherwise, we need to come back here again for that purpose.

Security Cameras: Aberdeen 3/4

3 Drug bust ones and this last one are all the security cameras on Aberdeen.

The last stats: 21/26.

Case: Serial Killer Lead 1

The last job leaves you right in front of this.

Fast Talk opportunity.

Martial Arts Club: Aberdeen 3/4

Don’t forget your drinks and herbal teas.

Achievement: Detective 21/59

Complete 50% of all missions, cases, favors, events, jobs, and races.



One half down, one more to go.

Favor: Pied Piper Redux 21/36

Race: Lost | Class B | Car 15/20

There is one health shrine on the island where the race ends. can get them before coming back to the HK side. There is also another one close by, but that’s by the seaside.

Event: Junk in the Trunk: Island

Found this while going back to get that health shrine.

Job: Tran: Find the marked Bisai 2/20

Aberdeen is a small place, so we can get this out of the way.

Call Tran after you finish this to get the next job.

Favor: Truck Recovery 22/36

Martial Arts Club: Kennedy Town 4/4

Last favor drops us off very near this martial arts club. We can as well finish it before going back to Aberdeen.

Achievement: Martial Law 22/59

Defeat all 4 Martial Arts Clubs.
Congrats on this one.

Achievement: Infowlable 23/59

Win 50,000 on a single cockfight.



Close by, there is a Kennedy Docks cockfighting. Go there and bet 50k on any of the fighters. We should have enough money to throw in this one couple of times.

Winning also helps with the gambler stat. In fact, you can increase the odds to 100k to go for that stat.

I lost here twice, then won once, so I lost 50k for this achievement. This brings the gambler stat total to minus 50k, as it also counts the losses.

People suggest save scumming for this one. I don’t know, I think we have enough money to just go for the achievement. The stat award is a different story, though.

Save scumming might be good idea if you are going for Gambler stat award, as it needs you to get 1 million from gambling. Since social hub stats persist through saves, you can just get the gold for the stat and then load back. But I guess whenever you load back, you gotta come back from the house.

That sounds too grindy. Out of 32 stat awards, the only one I didn't properly finish is this one.

Health Shrines: Aberdeen 3/4

Since Aberdeen is very small, it is possible that you already have this. But if you didn’t, now is the time to go back there and finish this.

The latest stats: 40/50.

Mission #18: Dockyard Heist

Going to Kennedy Town officially this time. But we are not to stay.

Go near workers to get some more fast talks. They are shown as red on the map.

4 fast talks

Don’t forget to use the hand grinder to further your Whatever’s Handy achievement.

Achievement: Whatever's Handy 24/59

Use 10 different melee weapons to defeat enemies.
I got it right after I used the hand grinder here.

Achievement: A Big Betrayal 25/59

Complete Dockyard Heist.
Story related, cannot be missed.

Achievement: Substantial Silver 26/59

Achieve 15 Silver Stat Awards.



Should pop around here. I got this in my 1st simple playthrough. don’t exactly know where it would pop according to this guide. If you’ve followed this guide since the beginning, leave a comment so I can put it in the right place.

Case: Lead: Serial Killer 2

Fast Talk

Case: Lead: Seria Killer 3

Call Teng after the one before is finished.

Achievement: Super Cop 27/59

Unlock ten Cop Upgrades.

We should get this after this mission. Or around this time.

Now we can focus on the triad exp. We already should be having a couple of clothing sets to increase the triad exp. Go back to house wear them. Try to wear %15 one all the time until we get the triad exp done.

Stat Awards: Rogue Cop 30/32

Kill cops under heat: 25 | 50

Now that we have finished cop exp tasks, we can focus on this stat.

Job: Tran: Find Marked Drifter GT 3/20

Don’t forget to call him again.

Mission #19: Intensive Care

Don’t forget to shoot a cop vehicle’s tires when you are driving before the end of the level.

Achievement: Sharpshooter 28/59

Shoot out a cop's tires while fleeing in a police chase.
Just need to remember to get one. It is possible you got this earlier than here.

Event: Hit and Run: Bus Depot

This one is at North Point. I saw it when I was going to the next favor.

Favor: Escort An Ally Redux 23/36

Job: Tran: Find the marked 600 Coupe 4/20

Call Tran after you deliver.

Job: Tran: Find the marked Kleinod 5/20

Call Tran after delivery. Then, we go to bed in our North Point house.

Mission #20: Important Visitor

1 Fast Talk

Karaoke: Bad Case of Lovin’ You 5/8

We will now sing the song that opened all the way back in the Club Bam Bam mission. This mission doesn’t open new songs.

Event: Hit and Run: Soho

Saw this near the K-Bar at Central.

Date: Make Ilyana Sweat 5/5 Favor 24/36

This one is the last collectible date. Better to get it as early as possible. Then we will start finishing up the districts.

Finally, after this mission, we will be able to see all the lockboxes on the map. Which means we see all the collectibles on the map. When the time is right and we are nearby, we can just go and collect these lockboxes.

There is a lockbox in the route we ran. You can get it now if you didn’t get it while running.

Unlike health shrines and security cams, we have a lot of lockboxes to collect. That’s why if the number of already collected lockboxes in a district is not high enough, we will not spend time on this until the end game.

What we will do is continue to gather them while going to other missions. This would leave very few lockboxes to the end game and would feel less grindy then. So, like always, if you see them on your minimap while going to missions, get them, but don’t seek out specifically these collectibles for now.

You can also plan your directions to missions by going through these collectibles.

Favor: Real Men don’t Karaoke 25/36

For this favor, we need to score low on karaoke. But we can see there are 2 new songs. And after we finish we will get the last song. We need to finish them all after the favor. Finishing here means getting 90+ score on each.

Karaoke: I Ran (So Far Away) 6/8

Karaoke: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun 7/8

Karaoke: Take On Me 8/8

Achievement: Karaoke Superstar 29/59

Achieving 90% and above for all songs at the Karaoke Bars in HK.
With the last song ending and we get our grading, this achievement should pop.

Mission #21: Fast Girls

Now we have an abode over Kennedy Town. This means we will be finishing up the missions here.

Don’t forget to get the collectibles on your way to the missions.

There is a clothing shop here that sells a master negotiator set that gives 15% off for vehicles. Get this one. You can actually clear out this store if you want. It should cost around 600k.

Clothing: Kennedy Town 1/3

We don’t have any clothing shops in Aberdeen.

Call Sandra after.

Drug Bust: Sun Yat Housing Complex 15/17

We are doing the drug bust before the cop job because if you do the cop job first, the thugs won’t spawn until you leave the area.

Gun Nut: Anti-riot Shotgun w/ Taclight

Achievement: Gun Nut 30/59

Use 10 different firearms to defeat enemies.
I got this one with this mission.

Jade Statue: Rabbit 8/11

Achievement: Kleptomaniac 31/59

Hijack 5 trucks and collect their cargo.



I was getting trucks whenever I saw them in between missions. This is where I’ve finished this. It is possible you got this before this time. If you didn’t, it’s time to focus on it.

Lockboxes: Aberdeen and Kennedy Town 2/4

We should already be very close. There is one very tricky lockbox in Aberdeen and one somehow tricky in Kennedy town.

Aberdeen one is on the east side, near Aberdeen Pier. This one is on the roof. When you try to reach it from the ground, you will come across a fence door with a green dumpster blocking almost half of the fence. That dumpster is climbable. After this info, I think finding the lockbox becomes very easy. (The game will ask us to come to this place at the end of the game, but I didn’t know about that at the time of writing.)

Kennedy Town one is at the docks on top of a container, but doesn’t look like there is a direct way to it. You need to go to the ocean side, there is a road that goes up to containers one level. From there you need to climb up, then jump to the lockboxes side. Then you can find your way up to the lockbox.

Achievement: West End Scavenger 34/59

Unlock every lockbox in Kennedy Town and Aberdeen.
We got 30 in total in these two districts.

Security Cameras: Aberdeen and Kennedy Town 4/4

We should be very close for this one as well. Find the last ones, and let’s finish this.

I only had one left, and that was at Kennedy Beach.

Achievement: Hong Kong Super Hacker 35/59

Hack every Security Camera in the game.

Clothing: Central 2/3

There are 6 clothing shops in central. Just go to these shops and buy everything.

Mission #23: Conflicting Loyalties

2 lockboxes and a health shrine on the way. We got the health shrine already; 2 lockboxes may need taking.

Jade Statue: Ox 10/11

Mission #24: The Funeral

Gun Nut: Assault Rifle w/ Grenade Launcher

If you have anything left in the cemetery that’s not collected till now, collect them.

Very good for wrecker and fire starter.

Job: Winner Takes All

This car is very useful for many things. Experiment.

Derby: Abeerdeen Derby 1/4

After we get the car, these missions open.

For derbies, just sit tight and let them come to you. You don’t need to drive. Shoot their tires.

Cruise: Aberdeen Cruise 1/4

You don’t need to drive; just shoot them tires as soon as you see them.

Derby: North Point Derby 2/4

Don’t forget to collect lockboxes on your way. That is, if you see any.

Case: Kidnapper Lead 1:

Favor: Tang’s Newer Toy 34/36

Case: Kidnapper Lead 2:

Don’t forget the lockbox here.

Jade Statue: Monkey 11/11

You enter the central gambling den, it’s on the right.

Favor: Riffraff Disposal 35/36

So now we should be having a favor on this den, but I am not sure if we can see it now. Unfortunately, I’ve done this favor just before the case lead 2 as I just learned that this Island was accessible all along.

So there is some confusion with this one. If anyone can confirm that right after the case lead 2, we can do the riffraff disposal, that’d be great.

Derby: Central Derby 3/4

Cruise: Central Cruise 3/4

Case: Kidnapper Lead 3:

Don’t forget the lockbox at the sewage outflow.

Achievement: Case Closed 37/59

Complete all cases.
After this last lead, we will get this achievement.

Return Jade Statue: Monkey 11/11

This should be the last of the statues.

Dim Mak is for countering, not grappling. So, instead of pressing E while countering, press E and F at the same time.

Clothing: North Point 3/3

We should go to all of the clothing stores and buy everything they have to offer.

Achievement: Fashion Victim 38/59

Purchase all clothing.
I got this after I cleared out the legendary outfit cloth after all the other clothing stores.

Don't forget to change your clothes to whatever is needed after this.

Job: Roland: Collection: Terrence 3/5

Special Event: Zodiac Tournament

This event has 2 extra stat awards for us. They are relatively easier than whatever we’ve left now.

Stat Award: Smashing Success 31/32

Number of enemies thrown into Zodiac Island combat props

Target: 50

You can burn them in the qualifying round as well. This one is environmental damage, but for this island.

This one felt too grindy, so I just left it at 20. You can replay missions to get this.

This is the only other stat I didn’t gold in the game, along with the Gambler. Not hard to get, but it feels extremely grindy. If anyone has a way of doing this without much of a grind, please add it as a comment so I can update it here.

Stat Award: Statuesque 32/32

Number of Fire Opal Statues Collected

Target: 12

After we finish all the missions on the island, they will show up on our map. But as always, gather as much as you can while doing the missions.

Last one is not on any of your ways while getting to missions. So it is better to get this after the missions.

It’s from where we first arrive to island. Swim to the right side and you will see a small beach. Around this time your minimap should also show you the fire opal statue.

Achievement: Solid Silver 39/59

Achieve 30 Silver Stat Awards.



I got it after I threw a melee weapon on this island. Yeah, I still forget this same stat called Deadeye, even though the gold is like 10 kills.

Job: Roland: Collection: Tommy Wu 4/5

When we come back from Zodiac Island, we will still be at Central, we can do the mission here.

Call Roland After

Achievement: Central Scavenger 40/59

When I was doing this last job, I came very close to the peak. Just went in to get the 2 lockboxes. Last Central lockbox shows just under the text of Victoria peak on map, but it’s clearer on minimap.

Mission #27: The Election

Whatever’s Handy: Machete

Story Related. Unmissable.

Mission #28: Big Smile Lee

Achievement: Big Smiles All Around 42/59

Complete Big Smile Lee.



After this I was still not able to finish the Triad level 10. So need to replay the level with most points again. To me it was the election. Generally Mrs. Chu’s Revenge is helpful with other stats, but that depends as well. Check stat awards you need, then check from this guide on how to get those, which levels are best. Then replay them until you get the triad exp for level 10.

Achievement: Ultimate Warrior 43/59

Unlock ten Triad Upgrades



After we get this, we can finally put on our master negotiator set, which will give us 15% for all vehicle purchases.

Though, before starting vehicle purchases, you need to make a decision. If you are going for the Gambler stat award, you need some capital. Vehicles will decrease that. So if you want, you can do the save scum thing and get your stat first. I don’t want to get the gambler, as I already have the fire opal one from Zodiac Island.

Lockboxes: North Point 4/4

There are some you can only access via water. Take them first since we already have a boat now.

This is the last delivery for Tran.

Missing Events

First, make sure we are actually missing these. To see the stat about it, go to Menu, Statistics > Stats. All Statistics or Completion. There should be an entry for events there. If it’s not showing 28/28, then the last thing you need to do to get the completion is these events.

Events only happen in daytime and when it’s not raining. So if it’s raining or night, go home and sleep.

Check the map below to see which of the events you didn’t get. Search for the name to see if we got this before.
Credits to THN guide.
Blue ones are Drug Busts. We probably already finished them all.

Yellow ones are drunks, loitering, 4. We are missing a couple of these.

Red ones are hit-and-runs, 3. This guide was lucky enough to find these before.

Orange ones are junk in the trunks, 4. Also lucky to have got these.

If you got everything according to this guide, you should be missing one loitering and one junk in the trunk event. Loitering is in the kennedy town and the junk in the trunk is in the Central.

Event: Loitering: Mq Mart Drunk

One is in the Kennedy town that’s close to the massage parlor.

Event: Junk in the Trunk: Central

This one is around the middle part of Victoria Park. It should be under a footbridge, though it glitched for me and went into the footbridge. Luckily, I was able to open the trunk.

Achievement: Event Planner 46/59

Complete all of the open-world Events.

Achievement: Chief Inspector 47/59

Complete 100% of all missions, cases, favors, events, jobs, and races.
The same event gives us this achievement as well.

Achievement: Pure Gold 48/59

Achieve 30 Gold Stat Awards.
So the 2 stats I didn’t get are Gambler and Smashing Success from the Zodiac Island. I am even in a -74k loss for gambling. And smashing success felt too grindy.

Vehicles: Central 3/3

1 location, around 0.6 mil.

Achievement: Auto Enthusiast 49/59

Purchase all vehicles.
After buying everything, I still had 2 million.

Achievement: Foodie 50/59

Try 10 different foods or drinks.



It’s almost unbelievable that this achievement is the last one from the main game. Honestly, I’ve eaten and drunk anything I’ve seen in the game but still didn’t get it, so I checked another guide.

So the tenth food I got is the Squid one, from the Aberdeen promenade. Go to Aberdeen and stay on the HK side, walk through the promenade and try out all the food stalls until you find this last one.

This should be the last of the base game achievements.

Nightmare in North Point DLC

We can open this DLC from the menu. We will still go mission based and I will inform you when it becomes possible to start some new stat awards for this DLC.

Hard part of this DLC achievements lie with the stat awards, so for each mission we will focus on these and check our progress.

We can’t replay the missions with this DLC so it’s important to get the things required, so we don’t waste time after the campaign hunting achievements. Doing so is not that hard, just needs planning.

In each mission, I will try to mention the points where you can maximize your stat gains. This page[www.playstationtrophies.org] also has good information on how to approach this DLC stat awards.

NiNP #1: Big Trouble

Jiang Shi’s are the main enemies for this mission. You need to grapple them to kill them, that brings us to our first stat awards.

Achievement Start: Cursed Gold

We need to get gold stat for five of the DLC stats.

• Vampire Hunter: Kill 200 Jiang Shi
  
• Demon Hunter: Kill 20 Yaoguai.
  
• Demonic Exorcism: Kill 15 Yaoguai with the Peachwood Sword -
  
• Hard to Get: Avoid 100 Jiang Shi bites
  
• Underworld Offering: Find all 10 Hell Shrines

The guide will inform you when a stat first becomes available and when it’s good to grind for those with high numbers.

Stat Awards: Hard to Get

Avoid 100 Jiang Shi bites.

Before you kill them, hopefully, you will start avoiding them by countering. Each mission you do it 15-20 times and we should have it before we finish the DLC.

There are different kinds of monsters so make sure you avoiding the one we see on the big billboard at the beginning of the first cutscene. These are also the same ones we fight in our first fight.

One trick to fight these guys is just to grapple them while they’re not stunned. They try to bite you any time you do that and stay alive as long as you don't finish them off. So really, you only need one Jiangshi to get this stat. But make sure to keep around 3-4 so you don’t wait much between counters.

So a strategy could be to grapple them, counter when they try to bite, and kill them. And then you can stop doing the first two when you get the stat.

A way to understand if you are getting bitten or getting hit is having a melee weapon on hand. If they try to bite, melee weapons fall down. You will experience that if you try to keep a peachsword around. This comes with a price, though; weapons lose their durability if they fall down in this manner. So it’s a heavy price for peachswords, but not so heavy for others.

Stat Awards: Vampire Hunter

We need to kill 200 of them to get this stat. We will start killing them in this mission.

They die in one shot if you vault kill them. So you can use a car to insta-kill while grinding for them. We will use that trick somewhere else, which will fit better to grind for this stat.

This one will take the longest time. So any alley you see them, just go and handle them.

NiNP #2: Chinese Magic

Stat Awards:  Demon Hunter

Kill 20 Yaoguai 

The one we get here will be the first one. Not the first time we see it, though. The mission will teach you how to beat them.

After we finish this mission, demons and hell shrines will be available around North Point. We will also be able to check the social hub after this.

Hell Shrine 1/10

While going to Yauguai Alley on foot, we will come across Club Bam Bam. This hell shrine is next to the 3 Jiang Shis that you can see from the map.

Stat Award: Underworld Offering

We need to find ten hell shrines to get this stat.

Achievement Start: Hell Money

We need to find all hell shrines to get this achievement. 10 in total.

Yaoguai Portal: Yaoguai Alley

Peachsword spawn area

Side: Jiangshi Basketball

After this mission we can go back home to check the clothes.

Stat Award: Demonic Exorcism

Kill 15 Yaoguai with the Peachwood Sword.

Anytime you see peachsword, you get it. It should be giving a Yaoguai to fight with. The first one I got was right in front of the house.

Peachswords can be carried on bikes or cars, so you can travel with them.

Peachswords have durability. So they stop being useful after some use. So leave the weapon to the ground, beat the small ones, maybe use it on the last kill as sometimes after the kill scene changes and you find yourself in some other place.

Hell Shrine 2/10

Right in front of our house.
We can go back to the house to wear the Shaolin Warrior outfit to get extra melee damage. It’s in preset outfits.

There is a Yao Guai in front of the Night Market. Also, a peachsword. But I was carrying the first one. Didn’t want to lose it.

Side: Jiangshi Park

Peachsword spawn area. After you beat the mission, you might find a peachsword here.

NiNP #3: Smiley Cat’s Army

Energy Sources come into play here. We need to throw Jiangshis into it to stop them from replenishing. These are very good sources for the Vampire Hunter stat.

These Energy sources are our main bread and butter. If you play completely mission-oriented, you can finalize this mission with the initial 4 Jiang Shi. But bring your car around, and just vault back and forth. You will kill them very fast.

Also, make sure you get around 8-10 anti-bite counters. After that, you can close the energy sources.

Yaoguai Portal: Yaoguai Pier

If you've lost your peachsword, drive around the city until you see a single red enemy icon on your minimap. If there is no enemy in sight, there will be a peachsword there. Get the sword, kill the spawn, and come back to this mission.

Gives the Manhattan Melee outfit.

Energy Source: Jiangshi Street

North Point Police, which is very close to here, has a Yaoguai, but jumps out of peachsword. So get a peachsword before coming to this one.

Gives Blast car.

Energy Source: Jiangshi Court

Gives Bisai

Hell Shrine 3/10

After you finish this Energy Source, go to the upper level and find the shrine in front of a building, close to the ice cream vendor.

Yaoguai Portal: Yaoguai Parking

Gives Monkaw

NiNP #4: Clean Out the Rats

Get the peachsword before you finish the mission, otherwise, it disappears.

Energy Source: Jiangshi Overpass

Bring a car for vaulting.

Gives Drag 979

NiNP #5: Revenge x2

I got the Hard to Get stat in this mission. So no need to counter after this mission for me. Only need to kill Jiangshis.

Side: Jiangshi Garage

NiNP #6: Ghosts of the Past

There is a peachsword on the ground floor and a yaoguai on the upper floor.

After the cutscene, dispose of the attackers, head to the toilet for the bouncers and take the Peachwood sword with you up to the VIP. Up here, defeat the demon and his followers and as soon as ponytail is down, you will unlock the following:

Achievement: Pet Cemetery 51/59

Send Dogeyes, Ratface, and Ponytail back to Hell.

Energy Source: Jiangshi Street

It has the same name as the earlier one. The next mission is the last mission, so it's better to finish Vampire Hunter before going in. Get a car and vault until you get this.

I kinda got bored as I had 50 more to reach there, so I finished this one earlier.

Also, we just had 2 hell shrines; 8 more of them will mean 24 additional jiangshis.

Achievement: Ghosts and Stuff 52/59

Complete all secondary content.

NiNP #7: Smiley Cat

We have the last energy sources in this mission. So make sure you finish the vampire hunter before the end of the level.

Energy Source here shows up in the middle. Behind it, there is a gong and an area where Jiangshis spawn. This area is very fit for vault kills. You can use this area to finish the kills.

Get the peachsword before you kill the last Jiangshi. Don’t use it on jiangshi.

There will be more energy sources after that, but since we don’t need them for anything else, you can just close them as quickly as possible and finish the mission.

2 Yaougai’s will spawn here. Use peachsword specifically for them.

Achievement: I Can Haz Banishment 53/59

Banish Smiley Cat.



We’ve finished the DLC main missions. These missions didn’t have nearly enough Yao Guais to reach 20 overall kills, or 15 with peachswords. Also, they didn’t bring us close to the rest of the Hell Money Shrines. From the temple, we will go to these places. Both get to shrines and kill the yaoguai.

Here is the map for Peachswords and Hell Shrines. You can finish them yourself. Or follow the guide, and I will take you to some.

Hell Shrines Map:
Credits to Wiki

Peachswords Map:
Credits to N'ours

Hell Shrine 4/10

When you find yourself out of the temple, turn left and continue to the north until you find a peachsword on the side of the road. Handle the Yao Guai and continue in the same direction.

At the next intersection with the alleyway, you will see the hell shrine.

Hell Shrine 5/10

We will continue on the same road until we reach the main road that has trees in between the road. We turn left from here.

Before reaching the next intersection, we will see another peachsword. Take it and handle the YaoGuai that comes with it.

We continue on the same main road until we find an intersection where the other road leads to Industrial. We turn left to go to Industrial.

This road will go under the highway then continue to join to another big road. The left-hand side should have a minibus terminal. Hell's shrine is in one of the corners of this area, next to the big road.

After this, we will go to Top Glamour for another peachsword. Top Glamour is the big island-like area on the right side of North Point. Turning to the south, where we find the last shrine will put us on that road. Then we need to look at the signs that say top glamor and turn left from the proper place.

Just after you enter Top Glamour, turn right and get the peachsword. You can always look at the minimap for the red icon to locate these peachswords.

Hell Shrine 6/10

When you get out of the top glamor, continue straight until the road goes over the highway. Then there will be a fork, where one side will enter the alleyway. Continue from the alleyway until you meet the Jiangshi. They protect the Hell Shrine. Handle them and get the shrine.

Hell Shrine 7/10

From this shrine, we need to go back to the seaside road at the east side of the north point. This time, we will go further down from top glamour to the area called waterfront on the map.

You should see a singular red icon that indicates peachsword and Yao Guai. Get these.

After that continue sea-side to the south. You will come to a place where we started the Smiley Cat’s Army mission. There will be a wooden boat on top of a rack seaside. Hell shrine is in front of it.

Hell Shrine 8/10

Continue south sea-side. Go through the bridge-like road. Turn left and left again. Hell shrine is on the right, before you reach a square-like road.

From where we find the shrine, go towards the city. Keep left. When you reach the place where we were getting cases from the main game, you will see the peachsword.

I got the Demonic Exorcism after this, but I still need Demon Hunter. So we will continue to seek peachswords.

Hell Shrine 9/10

From here, we are going to the Tran's auto shop, where we purchased cars in the main game.

First, we go westward, towards the city. Then, when we come in one line with Yau Ling Court, or when we see a left turn with a sign for Northpoint Park, we turn left. The Auto Lot will be on the left.

You will see on your minimap that some JiangShis are protecting it. Handle them and get the shrine.

Hell Shrine 10/10

From the main road in front of the auto lot, continue directly southward until you reach the North Pier. You might need to go through a narrow alley full of Jiangshis.

When you arrive, you will see some Jiangshis are together. Hell Shrine is next to them.

Achievement: Hell Money 54/59

Find all the money shrines.
We got this one with the last shrine. Now I am still needing a couple more Yao Guais. We will go get them.

From in front of the Pier, we will go towards the right side. The second area we can enter should have one more peachsword. This area has some obstacles to prevent people coming in. After you enter, you will see JiangShis. Skip them and turn right. You will see the red icon on your minimap.

From here, chart a route to the temple. There will be a big intersection just before the last leg of the route. A peachsword should be on a small grassy area at a corner.

After you get the Yaoguai, continue toward the temple. You should see another peachsword in a tea shop.

Achievement: Cursed Gold 55/59

Achieve 5 Gold Awards.
Normally, you should have had this achievement a couple yaoguais before. But in case you still didn’t get it still, I will show one last.

In the night market, South side. ( While going to this one, I saw the one at the night market gate again. So there is a possibility these peachswords and their yaoguais are respawning.)

On the bridge that goes through the night market. Possibly the area of first mission. After this, I had 23 Yao Gais, 19 of them defeated with a peachsword.

If you still don’t have this, check the maps for peachswords and find the rest yourself. Hopefully, you will get it after that.

But even after this, if you still don’t have the stats, remember that you can always start a new game for the DLC. Stat awards stats are retained through different games, so if you didn’t get it now, you can get it in the second playthrough. Hopefully.

Year of the Snake DLC

Like the last DLC, we need to open this one from the main menu. Things we've earned in the main game are not carried over to this DLC. It's a standalone story DLC.

YotS #1: Bomb Squad

Evidence Bag: Just after we beat 4 guys and before we go to investigate the car, there is an evidence bag on the corner of the same place we beat 4 guys.

After we run the car to the ocean, we will get an address to investigate.

Evidence Bag: Before we start investigating, go to the top of the pyramid-shaped containers to get the evidence bag. This is the pyramid in the middle, not at the sides.

Achievement: Bomb Squad 56/59

Finishing the mission gives this achievement.


Evidence Bag: The evidence bag is in the police building. There is a tower at the corner, it’s near to that one.

Plaza Patrol

Public Disturbance

YotS #2: Illumination

Evidence Bag: Just before starting this mission, if you check the nearby area from map, you will see a building that looks like upside down U. Left side of this building has the next evidence bag. The bag is inside the building on a sofa.

Evidence Bag: Just when you are about to arrive the meeting locations on rooftops, you will have guests coming from left hand side. After dealing with them go to where they came from to find the next bag, on the left side. Get this before chasing the dealer.

Favor: Protect the Lion Dancers

Favor: Delivery Boy

YotS #3-5: Bomb Threats

Bomb Threat: Suspicious Vehicles

Evidence Bag: Before starting the mission, go to the hospital lobby. The bag is in the circular area at the corner of the lobby.

Evidence Bag: After we send the car to the sea, we can continue to the right side of the map to the big circular area. There is a salzhaus store that sell marriage stuff. Backside of it has some thugs that protect an evidence bag. You should be able to see them on minimap.

Bomb Threat: POI

Bomb Threat: Shopping Center

Suspicious Vehicle

Close to Business District

YotS #6-7

Evidence Bag: When you are searching for the lucky money, you will arrive at a cafeteria area overlooking the stairs. Go to the end of this area to find the bag.

Evidence Bag: Before starting the mission, go to basketball courts and check beneath the hoops.

Achievement: Hong Kong's Finest 57/59

Complete all Secondary Content.
After we finish this mission, we get this achievement.


Evidence Bag: After you handle the cultists, exit from the cemetery side. After you go 2-3 levels up, you will see a small pool and water on the left side. The evidence bag is there on the edge of the pool.

YotS #8-9: SDUs

SDU: Soho Riots

SDU: Nerve Gas

Evidence Bag: While going here right-hand side will have Central Station. It’s very close to Soho, in between the target and Soho, southmost part of the road. Behind of the station, there is an area that overlooks the Peak Tram Route. The bag is in this area.

YotS #10-12: Last Missions

Dockyard Confrontation

Evidence Bag: The mission will ask you to handle 3 situations in the docks. Very close to the middle one, you will see an area with red lights on the 2nd floor. Find a way up and find the bag in that area.

Park Assault

New Year's Eve

Evidence Bag: After you clean up the first wave of cultists, the left-hand side will have an entrance that goes one level down. The entrance is behind a shipping container and has a railing protecting it, so you can’t just walk into it. The bag will be in this area. Don’t confront the cult master without getting this bag, otherwise, you will find yourself back in HK.

Achievement: Cult Master 58/59

Defeat the cultists.
Now, onto the last achievement of Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition.

We should have 3 evidence bags remaining. These show on the minimap now. Nothing on the big map, though.

Evidence Bag: This first one is in our home in Central. Lobby area, behind the stairs. It’s possible you got this one before the guide.

Evidence Bag: The Upper left corner of the Business District has a big skyscraper that looks like a diamond on the map. In its lobby, there are many elevators. The bag is in front of one set of these elevators.

Evidence Bag: Last evidence bag is in Aberdeen Pier. It’s the east-most building of Aberdeen. The bag is on the second floor. You will also see it in your minimap.

Achievement: Goodie Monster 59/59

Find all Evidence Collectibles.

A very detailed checklist with a way to get each achievement. You can say I reordered it with extra explanations and added personal experience.

Also, the guides on the True Achievements website were very helpful. Link[www.trueachievements.com]

IGN's Sleeping Dogs page is a great work of documentation. They have almost everything about the game in there. Link

Thanks for your opinion. The guide doesn't have each collectibles' location though. The ones you can get from dates are marked as such, so we don't go over 175+ collectibles of the main game. It just reminds you that we should be finishing each district from time to time.

For the collectibles on DLCs, there are no such dates or other in-game elements to show all of them in the map, that's why the guide provides the Map and description.

This is a specific type of a guide, which discusses what kind of a guide this is in the first 2 sections. You can go over those 2 to get an idea about what's going to happen in the guide. But again, that's also not necessary, if it feels too much.

Other than that, if there are other parts of the guide you would like improved, would really like to hear them. But you need to read it first. And again, if it's too much, you don't need to.

I only recommend this guide to the players who want to get their achievements and move on with their lives..

uhm this is WAY TO MUCH TEXT. we dont need to know the exact location of every collectible since you can just call/ date all girls and they will pop up on your map -_- white if you collected, grey if not. why make it so much more clutterd then needed.
