Introduction
This Shrek game is a bit different than other ones you may have played. It focuses on being able to change characters whenever you want, and certain things require you to have two characters being controlled at once (local cooperative). This game has no difficulty settings to deal with. There are no glitches to deal with and the game's 1000 can be obtained easily.

Step 1: Complete the campaign
Focus on running through the campaign gaining the story related achievements, and early on putting in a 2nd controller to knock out the very easy cooperative based achievements as well as using each character's abilities. You do have the option of actually playing the game with a partner, if you choose to. You can gain a decent amount of collectibles on this run, but don't be shocked when you can't get certain things because you lack that specific ability. I suggest going to the store in the Ogre Camp and buying the Money Up upgrades to help out.

Step 2: Complete levels at 100% and buy all abilities and upgrades
Now you should have a good idea of how to complete the levels and should remember some chests/secrets you could not get to. Now that you have abilities you didn't have, you may get them. Look everywhere in the level, or in the forums if you're having a hard time with a couple of them. You should also grab any cooperative puzzles you haven't completed (there are only a few and listed in the guide).

Step 3: Mop Up
If you have any last upgrades you haven't yet bought, or anything else you forgot to do, go ahead and do so. This includes any character based or cooperative based achievements that may have slipped your grasp earlier in the the game.

Conclusion
This game is very easy and you should have no trouble gaining all achievements. The only annoying thing you may encounter is completing certain levels at 100%. Just keep looking and eventually you should find the last item(or items), or of course check the forum as most of the hard ones are covered when someone has a question on where one is located.

  • Complete 100% of the Ogre Camp (primary profile)

    (1)  

    For a level to be considered "complete", you must collect all big chests, little chests, and secret items (in the form of pink bows, wanted posters, plate of waffles, etc). The Ogre Camp's secret items are obtained through the act of bartering. Not by finding them. So to complete that specific level, you must buy all upgrades from the store. Most of them are obvious and out in the open, thus creating a complete collectible walkthrough would be mostly pointless and cause people to take longer reading it than needed. If you're really struggling, feel free to check around the Sherk: Forever After forums, found Here.

    You should only worry about getting the 100% on each level after you have completed the game so that you have obtained all special abilities for every character.

  • Open a big treasure chest (primary profile)

      

    This will come early on in the game when you find one. You will have to be opening all of these anyways and can find them on every level. These can only be opened once you have obtained Shrek's special ability to open them.

  • Purchase all store items (primary profile)

     

    You will need to buy every item in the store at the Ogre Camp. To get everything available to purchase there, you must complete the campaign. To have enough coins to purchase them all, you should have done almost all 100%s on every level. There are a total of 11 different categories to buy from, most having three different upgrades. If you want to speed this up, purchase the "Money Up" upgrades first. You will need roughly 15,000 coins to be able to purchase everything.
