Shrek 2 Remastered has 108 Magic Beans hidden across its chapters. You need to collect all of them to unlock the Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum achievement. Most chapters have 12 Magic Beans, and some also hide Gnomes you can free along the way.
In this guide, I have covered all Shrek 2 Magic Bean and Gnome locations across the chapters, along with the other achievements and optional quests. I have kept the locations in the order you encounter them, so you can collect everything as you progress.
Chapter 1 – Shrek’s Swamp
Shrek 2 Remastered Chapter achievement: And again in a fairy tale
Magic Beans 1 & 2 and Gnome 1
At the beginning of the chapter, check the area to the left of Shrek’s house. You will find the first two Magic Beans there.
Look at the platform above this area as well. A rock is blocking a Gnome, so break it to free him.
Magic Beans 3 & 4 and Gnome 2
After collecting the eyes, move forward to the next area. You will find a Gnome trapped inside a cage, with two Magic Beans nearby.
- One Magic Bean is underneath the wooden platform.
- The second Magic Bean is above, next to the cage.
To reach the higher bean, switch to Shrek and place the box on the marked spot. Then switch to Fiona and use the box to jump up.
Magic Bean 5 and Gnome 3
After dealing with Robin Hood and his gang, head towards the left side of the area. You will find a cage containing a Gnome and a Magic Bean.
Gnome 4
Search for this Gnome just before reaching the area with the fairies.
Magic Bean 6
When you reach the fairy area, go down to the lowest part of the location. The sixth Magic Bean is waiting at the bottom.
Magic Bean 7
After leaving the fairy area, look to the left of the closed gate with the target. You will find the seventh Magic Bean there.
Magic Bean 8 and Gnome 5
After learning how to use cookie bait, continue until you reach the open area with snails and turtles.
You will find the Magic Bean immediately to the right. Move a little further to the left to find the fifth Gnome.
Magic Beans 9 & 10
Continue past the previous area and jump over the fence. Once you land on the other side, check both sides of the fence to collect the two Magic Beans.
Gnome 6
After catching the chickens, move into the next area and look for a passage on the left.
Use Gingerbread to hit the target and open the gate. The sixth Gnome is on the higher ground to the left.
Magic Bean 11
After passing through the crocodile section, check the boxes on the left side. You will find the eleventh Magic Bean there.
Magic Bean 12 and Gnome 7
Continue until you reach a fork in the path near a cliff. Switch to Ginger and hit the target to lower the bridge.
Cross the bridge to collect the Magic Bean. You will also find the final Gnome nearby, trapped behind a rock.
To free him, use Ginger to break the rock. Jump and throw the cane from the position shown in the screenshot.
Blackbird Pie Achievement
Reported glitch
At the end of this chapter, you must complete a rhythm sequence to unlock the Blackbird Pie achievement. Hit every note correctly to make all the birds explode.
You cannot miss any notes. If you miss one, Fiona will start coughing, which means the sequence has failed.
Tips for completing the rhythm sequence:
- Pay close attention to the button prompts and press every note at the correct time.
- If Fiona starts coughing, stop pressing buttons. The sequence will end, and you will need to try again.
- If you fail, the cutscene restarts, allowing you to attempt the sequence again.
The button prompts use Xbox button labels even when you play with a different controller. On a keyboard and mouse, the prompts use WASD.
Important: Some players are reporting an achievement bug where the final bird does not explode or count, even after successfully hitting every note. This issue may prevent the achievement from unlocking.
Chapter 2 – The Creepy Forest
Chapter achievement: Mouse Race
Magic Beans 1 & 2
At the very beginning of the chapter, turn around and head back. You will find the first Magic Bean inside a fallen tree.
Check the nearby fallen tree area to collect the second Magic Bean as well.
Magic Bean 3
After learning how to deactivate mousetraps, continue towards the stone platforms. Look between the platforms to find the third Magic Bean.
Magic Bean 4
Continue across the stone platforms until you reach the first bridge with bats. The fourth Magic Bean is nearby.
Magic Bean 5
After completing the arena with the dragon statue, you will reach a small fenced area containing a lever and several rats.
This area opens as part of the story. Look inside to collect the fifth Magic Bean.
Leprechaun Salesman
After the section where you cut down trees and climb them, look for the Leprechaun Salesman before continuing.
Magic Bean 6
In the arena containing the Poisoned Apple Tavern, check behind the rock where the carriage is parked.
There are several invisible walls around this spot. Red Riding Hood is the best character to use when reaching the Magic Bean.
Magic Bean 7
After passing the Poisoned Apple Tavern, look towards the platforms near the bat bridge.
You will find a crate there. Break it to collect some coins, then hit it again to reveal the seventh Magic Bean.
Magic Bean 8
Find the entrance to the cemetery, where the Leprechaun asks for 100 coins before letting you enter.
Before going inside, check the left side of the entrance to collect the eighth Magic Bean.
Magic Bean 9
Once inside the cemetery, move past the first two sarcophagi and check the left side. You will find the ninth Magic Bean there.
Magic Bean 10
Continue through the cemetery until you reach an area with pairs of mousetraps.
Look around one of these pairs to find the tenth Magic Bean.

A little further ahead, check the sarcophagi on the left side. You can break them, and the first one contains the eleventh Magic Bean.
Magic Bean 12
After leaving the cemetery, you will reach an arena with enemies and a river on the left.
Look to the right for a rock with a chest and a nearby jumping platform. The final Magic Bean is inside the chest.

Magic Beans 4, 5, 6 & 7
You can find four Magic Beans along the main street.
Two of them are on top of the taxi carriages. Climb onto the carriages to collect them.
For another bean, wait for a carriage to pass and jump onto it. Little Red Riding Hood can jump directly onto the moving carriage.
Check the remaining part of the main street for the fourth bean.
Magic Bean 8
Continue to the end of the main street. You will find the eighth Magic Bean there.

- Magic Bean 10: Check the left side of the area. You can collect this bean directly from the map.

I’m Puss… in Boots
Chapter completion

Chapter 5 – On the Road
Chapter achievement: Pumpkins in Porridge
Additional Quest – Collect Snail Eyes
During this chapter, you need to collect snail eyes by defeating the snails.
There are exactly 25 snail eyes to collect. Kill all the snails throughout the level so you don’t leave any behind.
Magic Bean 1
You will find the first Magic Bean immediately after defeating the mini pumpkin boss.
Magic Bean 2
After defeating the pumpkin, you will reach a fork in the road.
Take the left path instead of following the sign towards the farm. Continue to the end, where you will find a rope between two stumps.
Use Shrek to throw the Cat onto the first stump. Then control the Cat and walk across the rope to reach the other stump and collect the Magic Bean.
Magic Bean 3
Continue to the area with the squirrels. You will need to cross another rope before reaching the spiked millstones.
Look around this section to find the third Magic Bean.
Magic Bean 4
After meeting the people standing on a stump, check the area to collect the fourth Magic Bean.
Additional Quest – William Grumpy
After meeting the first group of people, head left until you reach another group.
You will find a goat named William Grumpy there. He will ask you to escort him across the bridge.
Complete this task as part of the optional photo quest.

Additional Quest – Escort the Second Goat
You will encounter another goat who needs help crossing a bridge.
Just like William Grumpy, escort this goat safely to the other side. This second escort section is longer, so be careful while moving across the bridge.
If the goat falls into the abyss and takes significant damage, you will need to go back and help it again.
Magic Bean 12
After the second goat asks you to escort him across the bridge, look to the left of the bridge.
There is a ledge you can reach by jumping from the column that forms part of the bridge. Jump onto it to collect the final Magic Bean of this chapter.
