Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition — Achievement Walkthrough

During melee fights, grapple an enemy and throw them into a hazard — the game highlights environmental kill spots in red (dumpsters, fans, electrical boxes, air-con units, fish tanks, phone booths, meat hooks). Five DIFFERENT hazards are needed, so use a new one each time. The Night Market and back alleys are full of them.

These are the spy-gadget actions used across cop cases. You'll do all five naturally during the police investigations — if any is missing, replay the case that uses it (bugging cars, tracing calls, hacking cameras).

The optional detective 'cases' are unlocked as a cop — each is a short investigation. Complete every one. They're marked on the map; a few unlock only after story beats.

In the Night Market (and other markets) there are fish stalls with a fish you can grab as a weapon. Pick up the fish and beat an enemy to death with it. Trigger a fight near a fish stall, grab the fish, and swing.

Stat Awards come from Face (style), Cop, and Triad progression plus various activities — Gold is the top tier. Push your Face XP (dress well, do side content) and combat/cop XP; 15 Golds accumulate as you complete content. Pure Gold (30) is the same grind extended.

Scattered around Hong Kong are four Martial Arts Clubs; beating each unlocks a new combat move. Clear all four — they're straightforward brawls once you've upgraded a bit. Look for the club icons on the map.

A story-progression achievement — these three are story antagonists you deal with over the campaign. Just keep advancing the main missions and it unlocks when all three are handled.

Unlock cockfighting (a side activity), then place a single bet large enough to win 50,000. Build a bankroll first, bet the maximum on a favorable matchup, and win it in one go. Save beforehand so you can reload a loss.

Around the map, cargo trucks can be action-hijacked. Jump onto a moving truck, throw out the driver, and deliver it to collect the cargo reward. Do this five times.

Favors are small side quests from civilians around the city. Do all of them — they're quick and scattered across districts. Check your map for favor icons as you explore.

Roland gives you bounty/hitman-style jobs. Finish the full set — each is a short combat or chase objective. They appear after you meet Roland in the story.

Health Shrines are collectibles dotted across the map that permanently boost your health when you pray at them. Find and activate every one — use a collectible map and sweep each district. They also make you tougher, so grab them early.

Eat and drink at the many street stalls and vendors (pork buns, noodles, tea, etc.). Ten different items — each also gives a small temporary buff. Just visit stalls as you pass them.

The Nightmare in North Point DLC (a supernatural Halloween story). Finish its side content — the Jiangshi hopping-vampire hunts and the DLC's collectibles/objectives — not just the main mission. Work through the DLC map fully.

Win every street race around Hong Kong. Buy or acquire a fast car, learn the routes, and use handbrake turns for the tight corners. Some races unlock after story progress.

Lockboxes need Jade Statues (collected via a mission) to open, then give cash and clothing. Open every lockbox in the Central district — they show on the map once you've progressed. A quick district sweep does it.

Same as Central Scavenger but for the Kennedy Town and Aberdeen areas. Open every lockbox there; they're marked on your map.

Open all lockboxes in North Point. With the map markers on, this is a quick sweep once you can reach the district.

Karaoke is a rhythm mini-game at bars — match the on-screen prompts. Hit 90% or higher on every available song. Practice the timing on one song first; the input windows are generous once you get the rhythm.

The Year of the Snake DLC casts Wei as a beat cop against a doomsday cult. Complete all its secondary content — the roadblocks, the bombs, and side objectives — to finish it 100%.

Buy every purchasable car and motorcycle from the in-game vendors. This needs a lot of cash — do the Cop and Triad side content, cases, and lockboxes to build funds, then buy out the dealerships.

Jade/money shrines (Hell Money) are another collectible set that boosts your health-regen. Locate and activate all of them across Hong Kong; a collectible map speeds up the last few hidden ones.

The big 100% award. Finish every main mission, police case, favor, street race, Cop/Triad job, and open-world event in the game. Track the completion percentage in the stats menu and mop up whatever's outstanding — combine it with the collectible sweeps.

Evidence collectibles are tied to the cases and hidden around the districts. Track down every one — some appear only during certain cases, so sweep thoroughly. A collectible map is the fast way to mop up stragglers.
