Collectibles and Completion Achievements (7)
These achievements require you to find Snapshots, collect Magic Beans, rescue captured characters, and finish optional tasks throughout the levels.
In Vogue
Unlock your first Snapshot. You should get this achievement early in Level 1, as some Snapshots are awarded automatically when you reach certain points in a level.
Family Album
Find 50% of all Snapshots. There are 70 Snapshots in total, so you need to collect at least 35 Snapshots.
Paparazzi
Collect all 70 Snapshots. Check your Scrapbook to see the objectives for each level and track which Snapshots you have already found.
Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum
Collect all 108 Magic Beans. Most levels contain 12 beans each, except Ogre Killer and Final Fight, which do not have any.
For the locations, please check out Shrek 2 Remastered – All 108 Magic Beans & Gnome Locations guide.

Important: You don’t need to hold 1,000 coins at once. The game tracks your total collected coins. These three coin achievements may only unlock when you reach a checkpoint, so don’t worry if they don’t appear immediately after collecting the required amount.
Combat Achievements (6)

The Fat Knight first appears as a boss in Spooky Forest and later returns as a regular enemy. Try not to skip optional fights, as you may miss an enemy type.

Photo Mode and Miscellaneous Achievements (4)
These achievements are separate from the main story and collectibles. You can unlock them through Photo Mode and a few specific actions.
Say Cheese
Open Photo Mode for the first time. You don’t need to take or save a picture.

Spend more than 10 minutes in Photo Mode.
The easiest way is to open Photo Mode and leave it running for at least 10 minutes. Once enough time has passed, exit Photo Mode to trigger the achievement.
Giddy Up
Watch Shrek ride Donkey during an idle animation.
The game has several idle animations, and this particular one can take some time to appear. Keep Shrek standing idle and wait for the animation to trigger. It may happen naturally while you’re playing, so you don’t necessarily need to force it.
Grand Theft Carriage
Get a wanted rating in Far Far Away.
This achievement is tied to the wanted system in that level.
