Serious Sam 2 100% Achievement Guide [Eng]

For receiving 100% in achievements you might need 2 playthroughs.

________________________________________________________________
****RECENT UPDATE*****

You dont need complete the game in a continual run. You can just finish the single chapters in a mixed order to achieve your game completion achievements!

________________________________________________________________

I can recommend to everyone who dont know the game or wants to enjoy the game before grinding for the achievements to play the game on normal difficulty and just play without looking anything up. I guess it's a really nice and underated Serious Sam game.

There are many story related achievements you will receive just by playing. Other achievements you might look up.


If you already know the game and just come back for the achievements you might need 2 runs to get all.

• One run on Serious difficulty.
  
• The 2nd run, i recommand on tourist, but you need to turn on the enemy multiplier on x2.

In this 2 runs you can manage to get all the achievements actually and it will take you less then 20 hours of playtime. If you want to have the normal playthrough it will take you about 20-30 hours of playtime.

I can really recommend if you play the game on serious difficulty you should do manual saves between big fights inside the different rooms/areas and bossfights.
The game make some quick saves before big fights. But you need do all the fighting again, if you die from the last enemy for example. It can be really annoying, thats why sometimes you should do manual saves inside fighting arenas when you have the time to do so. I can also recommand this for the bossfights. I'm also not sure because you have a limited amount of lifes in the top left side. Every time you need restart from a automatic quick save after you die, you lose a life. I dont know if the achievements count if you turn off limited lifes or not. I just played with that feature on like in the old school game had it. I'm not sure but i guess you can turn it off in the menu where you can also change the enemy multiplier.


I'm sure everyone can get all achievements in this game because there arent many difficult or weird ones like in previous Serious Sam games.

The most difficult ones i will explain to you and how i managed to get them later in the guide.

Well actually nothing to say about this one. You just need to finish the first level. Difficulty doesnt matter.



You will get this achievement after you completed the first episode that contains 8 levels. After defeating the giant monkey it will pop up.

• small reminder if you play on serious, you can save the game manually midfight to not lose progress in the bossfight.

You will get this achievement after you completed the 2nd episode that contains 6 levels. After defeating the giant wasp it will pop up.

• small reminder if you play on serious, you can save the game manually midfight to not lose progress in the bossfight.

You will get this achievement after you completed the 3rd episode that contains 5 levels. After defeating the giant fat baby it will pop up.

• small reminder if you play on serious, you can save the game manually midfight to not lose progress in the bossfight.

You will get this achievement after you completed the 4th episode that contains 4 levels. After defeating the giant kleer it will pop up.

• small reminder if you play on serious, you can save the game manually midfight to not lose progress in the bossfight.

You will get this achievement after you completed the 5th episode that contains 7 levels. After defeating the giant dragon it will pop up.

• small reminder if you play on serious, you can save the game manually midfight to not lose progress in the bossfight.
  I can really recommand it here because i needed to restart here 2 times when the dragon made me fall out of the world after flying into me.

You will get this achievement after you completed the 6th episode that contains 5 levels. After defeating the giant robot it will pop up.

• small reminder if you play on serious, you can save the game manually midfight to not lose progress in the bossfight.

You will get this achievement after you completed the 7th episode that contains 7 levels. After defeating the giant building it will pop up.

• small reminder if you play on serious, you can save the game manually midfight to not lose progress in the bossfight.
  I can really recommand it here because the bossfight was a little bit difficult on serious i guess. To be honest i needed 4 restarts even when i loaded a manually saved game between the waves.

There is actually nothing much about that achievement i can say. Can be claimed in one of your 2 runs or if you just play the normal way.







This achievement should be for your 2nd run on tourist difficulty. Don't forget to set the enemy multiplier on 2x. It can be done in the options menu where is the custom level selection.
If you are serious crazy (what i dont recommand) you can try to do all achievements in one run and play the campaign on serious with the enemy multiplier on 2x. There is a setting below with the max enemy multiplier and amount in percentage. I would recommand to put it on 50%. It counts for the achievement and the journey is more easy and fast for the 2nd run on tourist or might be also more "easy" if you want do the serious run with this one together.







This achievement might be a challenge. There are some difficult situations in the game where lots of enemys spawn that can make good amount of damage. All i can say is that you should always go for the collectibles, dont waste ammo or look around for secrets. The secrets often help you to get thorugh the levels more easy. I can also recommand if you struggle in some places to save the game manually during the fights so you dont need start over and over again if you die.

You will claim this achievement during your serious run anyway.
Important reminder

• unbind sprinting and dual weapons and dont use the rocket launcher.
  If you have this options on for the other levels in your run then i really recommand you to unbind the keys that you don't use it by accident or it will not count and you need play the level again. Also you shouldn't use the rocket launcher if rocket jumps are enabled. Maybe you do a rocket jump by accident and it will not count the achievement after finishing the last level. Be sure to remember this when you start the last level on your serious run because you might use it without even noticing when this features were enabled all the other levels.

For everyone that is not seriously crazy and doesnt play all the game on serious with the enemy multiplier 2x, you can just play the first level. Make sure the difficulty is set to serious with the enemy multiplier 2x and enemy max multiplier on 50%.
It is the fastest and easiest way to claim that achievement.







Im sure you will get this achievement anyway after playing your 2 runs. There is enough time to finish the levels in the estimated time even on serious difficulty it's possible. When you are in the menu and you are in the custom level selection you can see the information "serious run" yes or no for the different levels. If you struggle with a level you can just rush through it on tourist when you do the enemy multiplier 2x run on tourist but this achievement shouldnt be a problem anyway.




I managed to get that achievement in my 2nd run at the end of the last level. When you do the tourist run you should always wait until all the enemys spawned or walk around and look for additional enemys (some areas spawn them or when destroying some boxes or other things). It should be enough to play your 2 runs to achieve this one. If you still havent got enough killed enemies after 2 runs there is a little trick how to get many kills very fast.

The Trick

• I can recommand to start the last level. You get lots of Serious Bombs there. Just go into an area and try to collect as many enemies as possible (best way to do is on tourist) and then light up the serious bomb when you have many enemies around you. Very close to the explosion you can do a manual save. When the bomb exploded you can just reload the savegame where the bomb is close to the explosion. This might help you to push the counter faster. Just make sure to collect as many enemies as possible before you light it up to speed up the progress.

This one is a very easy one. Just use the bombs when you get them. There are many bombs thorughout the game.



Another easy one. You dont need to get kills with the grenades. Just throw them. Since they can be a little bit helpful i used them during my runs and got it really fast. There are enough grenades in the different levels.



Same thing here. Easy achievement. You don't need to kill with that "weapon". Just use the Klodovic when you get them. The damage they do is really strong so using them will help you a lot.



This one is also easy. When you get the cannon you will use it because the weapon is fun and strong. You will get this achievement very fast because you can make multiple kills with one cannonball.



For this achievement you just need to pick up the power-ups like Serious Score, Serious Damage or Serious Jump (last level "Cecil" of "Ellenier episode").
I realized that there are lots of power-ups when you go through the game. Should be possible to get this achievement in 2 runs. If you still struggle you can play the "Cecil" level and just jump around with the Serious Jump power-up.



Im not sure but this one might be possible when you do the last level. I think you can manage to get 20 extra lifes there. In case you have problems with this achievements you can do a trick that i found out before getting to the last level.

The Trick

• Play the Siriusopolis Uptown level and play like normal kill the enemies and proceed in the level. After some time you will reach a point where a helicopter destroys 3 windows in front of you. After that you will see some jump pads. You go through the windows and look in your back at the top.
  
  It will look like this. You should do a manual save there.Try to jump up a few times that you get a feeling how you don't fall down and die.
  After you have the feeling for this reload the manual savegame. You have 3 extra lifes from the start of the game and a few points for killing the enemies. What you gonna do now is just jump up and collect the 9 treasure bags that give you 9000 points. You need 10000 points for an extra life. Jump up collect the bags and fall down and die. You will spawn in the same spot and the bags are there again. you do this all the time again until you get the achievement. It is not necessary to be alive with 20 extra lifes. You just need claim them during a level. That trick worked for me and was easy. It is also the reason why I'm not sure if you get that achievement after the last level because i got it before that. I dont remember my points or how many lifes i got in the last level because i forget to check that.

Well the good news are that you dont need to find all secrets in the game.
I used the Guide from 🐟Atlascian Sarnosian IV🦈 to find the 60 secrets that are needed for the achievement.
Here you have the link to the guide from that guy.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=129738470
I guess the guide is good and you should easy find the secrets with the pictures.
I copied that pictures to use it in that guide.
The guide is helpful and i used it too.

Small Information

• The guide doesn't feature the new secret beam laser guns. I managed to find 3 of them in my runs. You can find them in the levels "Forsaken Compound", "Shield Generator" and "Siriousopolis Downtown"

If you want to know where to find them or you struggle you can comment under this guide or i can add screenshots in this guide later. But there are different videos or guides in the internet that show you the location as well.



That achievement might not be so difficult. You can do it in the first level of the game already.
Just use a secret guide to find all secrets in that level. An example for a guide you can find up.



The achievement can be claimed in the first level. You need to find the secret rocket launcher at the almost end of the level.its on the left side next to a waterfall. Just look up and you will realice something on the left side from the waterfall. You only need shoot the rope from the wooden plank and the rocket launcher drops down.




This one can be claimed in the 2nd level of the game. After you crossed the bridge in the "Riverdance" level you will see a big monkey head to the left and on the right you can see a banana between some stones. Guess what...you need throw the banana inside the monkey head. That secret will activate the achievement.




This achievement can be unlocked in the 1st episode in the level "Road to Ursul".
When you reach the blue Rollerball vehicle you can go all to the left side from this ball. There you can see a large health spinning. Go closer to activate the secret and to claim the achievement.
In the picture below you can see where to find it.




This achievement is actually hard to miss. In the level "Giant Junkyard" you need a match to get the big dynamite in your way to explode. If you get close to the match the secret activates automatically and the achievement gets unlocked.




Like the describtion says. When you are in the "Floaterra" level you will fly to the 2nd island. In the 2nd island is some type of arena. You will see a blue stone that doesnt fit to the rest of the scenery. Blow it up and go inside the cave. There will be a teleporter where you need stay inside. After you get teleported away the achievement should get unlocked.





This one is actually not difficult to miss in my opinion. In the "Siriusopolis Downtown" level after going through a grassy area you will get into the next area that is not so big. The red Phone booth is behind a tree and hard to miss.
In the picture below you can see the area with the phone booth behind the tree.



For this Achievements you need find 3 different football-related secrets.

1) The first football-related secret is hard to miss. It is in the first level of the game after you went through the valley where you get the auto shotgun. On the right side is soccer field and a tree with a soccer ball caught in it. You need to destroy the tree, grab the ball and throw it into one of the 2 goals.
2) The 2nd football-related secret is in the "Deadwood" level. You are in front of a gate and need to find some kind of a lever. You can find it on the right side. Behind that lever inside the water you will find a crocodile. Go close to the crocodile to activate the secret.
3) The last football-related secret can be found in the "Siriusopolis Uptown" level. From the starting point you should walk to the right. You will see a fountain on your left. If you continue walking you will see a garage on the right wall. Walk up to it and it will open. Go into the garage to register the last football-related secret and also to register the achievement.

I hope this guide helped you to claim all the achievements. I know there might be some grammar or language mistakes in this guide since english is not my native language.
This is my first big guide and i hope everything is clear and it is easy for you to get the achievements with this guide.

Again thanks to 🐟Atlascian Sarnosian IV🦈 for his secret guide that make it able to use the pictures so i dont need to go ingame again to take the pictures on my own.

You will manage to find a way the claim all achievements during 2 runs. If you know what to do for the achievements you can claim them in your first run. The ones missing after the first run you can claim in the 2nd run.

Anyway if something is unclear you can comment under that guide that i can help you.
