Scott Pilgrim EX packs 30 achievements worth a total of 1,000 Gamerscore, and while a handful are straightforward story unlocks, the list hides some genuinely demanding challenges. You will need multiple playthroughs, careful character rotation, and tight execution across no-hit and speedrun runs to reach 100%. Here is everything you need to know to plan your path to full completion.
Scott Pilgrim EX Achievement List
Every achievement in Scott Pilgrim EX is visible from the start. None are secret. The table below covers the full list with descriptions and Gamerscore values so you can prioritize which to chase first.
How Should You Approach the Completion Strategy?
Thinking about the full list in four broad categories makes planning much less overwhelming.
1. Character Clears (Grand Finale)
Grand Finale demands you see the ending with all 7 playable fighters. That means at minimum 7 runs, though you can knock out several other achievements along the way. Plan which character handles which boss for Tag Team during one of those runs to avoid a dedicated extra playthrough.

2. Challenge Runs: No-Hit and No-KO
These two achievements are the hardest on the list and deserve dedicated focus.
- Perfect! requires defeating the final boss without absorbing a single hit. Study the boss attack patterns extensively before attempting this.
- Kung-Fu Master asks you to clear an entire area without getting hit. Pick an area with manageable enemy density and practice the wave layout.
- 1CC means finishing the entire game without ever being knocked out. This pairs well with a Speedrun attempt if your execution is consistent, since both can be completed in the same run.
3. Multiplayer Requirements
Friendship! requires completing a Quest in multiplayer using only Lucas and Gideon together. You will need a second player for this, either locally or online. Need a Lift? also requires a co-op partner since you need to stand on top of another player while traversing an area.
4. Collection Milestones
Three achievements track your inventory progress:
- Badger requires owning every badge in the game.
- Walk-In Closet requires owning all accessories.
- Full Loadout is easier, just equip 4 accessories and 2 badges simultaneously.
Shop exploration matters here. Nutrition Facts wants you to reveal the effects of every consumable sold in shops, so buy and check items consistently across runs. Shady Business rewards finding a hidden shop, so keep an eye out for off-path areas.

How to Unlock the Speedrun Achievement
Speedrun gives you 90 minutes to clear the entire game. The target time is tight but manageable with preparation.
- Learn boss patterns to minimize time lost on retries.
- Skip optional content unless it directly feeds another achievement you are chasing in the same run.
- 1CC and Speedrun can be earned simultaneously if you avoid KOs throughout the run, so plan accordingly.
Practice individual boss fights in separate sessions before committing to a timed run. Knowing exactly when to dodge and when to attack on each boss saves far more time than rushing through standard enemy waves.
What Are the Easiest Achievements to Grab First?
Some achievements require almost no extra effort and can be knocked out during your first playthrough.
- You Saved Toronto! unlocks simply by finishing the game once.
- I Beat Metal Scott triggers after surviving your first encounter with Metal Scott.
- Action Movie Trope just needs you to catch a thrown weapon and immediately strike an enemy with it.
- Valentine's Day requires playing as Scott and giving a Heart to Ramona.
- Spare Change is as simple as giving $1 to Scott.
- Team Gideon unlocks by setting your assist character to Gideon (the cat) while playing as Gideon.
- Green Tunic rewards using a Bomb to find a secret area.
- Play Ball! asks you to hit a flying volleyball with a baseball bat during a specific event.
- Trick Shot requires knocking down 4 enemies in a row with one thrown turnip.
These lower-effort achievements add up to a solid chunk of Gamerscore and help you get comfortable with the game's mechanics before tackling the brutal challenge runs.

Character-Specific Achievements to Plan Around
Several achievements lock you into a specific character or combination.
Maverick Hunter is the grindiest character-specific unlock. Playing as Robot-01 and targeting robot-heavy areas will get you to 100 defeated robots faster than spreading playtime across multiple characters.
Tag Team: The Planning Achievement
Tag Team is one of the trickiest achievements to execute because it requires beating 7 different bosses with 7 different characters all within a single playthrough. There are exactly 7 playable fighters in Scott Pilgrim EX, so every character must handle exactly one boss fight.
Map out your character assignments before starting the run. Switching characters mid-playthrough without a plan risks doubling up on a character and locking you out of the achievement until your next full run.
Final Tips for 100% Completion
- Git Gud requires finishing all training lessons, so do not skip the tutorial content even if you are experienced with beat 'em ups.
- Sidetracked demands completing every Event in the game, which ties into thorough exploration across your playthroughs.
- Proficiency asks you to max out a single attribute level, so invest XP consistently into one stat rather than spreading points around early.
- Assistance Needed requires finding and using every assist character, so explore maps thoroughly and experiment with the assist roster.
With smart planning across your playthroughs, the full 1,000G is absolutely within reach. The challenge runs are demanding but fair once you know the patterns. Toronto is counting on you.
