Tips & Strategies

  • If you are going for Bronze Auto Enthusiast and Bronze Fashion Victim, you only have to collect enough money to buy everything in order to unlock one of the trophies. You can save right before you start buying all of the cars or all of the clothes, and then after obtaining the trophy you can reload that save to obtain the other trophy. This prevents a lot of potential grinding
  • When an enemy turns RED in combat, you will be able to counter him by pressing Triangle.
  • There are 4 different enemy types in the game:
    1. Strikers - These enemies are really good in hand to hand combat and can block some of your attacks as a result. They can also escape when you grab them.
    2. Brawlers - These enemies are almost the same as Strikers but are slower. They can also be grabbed so you can use the opportunity for environmental kills to your advantage. 
    3. Grapplers - The most annoying enemy types in my opinion. These enemies will grab you a lot and you will have to do a QTE to escape his attack. They can't block very well so use heavy attacks or weapons to your advantage. 
    4. Armed Thugs - These are mostly normal enemies with weapons. If you have the upgrade you can disarm them and they are pretty weak but can do massive damage.

Take care when travelling through the Restaurant as there are civilians dining here. When you enter the Restaurant, yet another gunfight will start and you will have to kill Ponytail. Now it's time for the final "boss", Big Smile Lee. This boss fight will start out with a chase followed by a cutscene which will then be followed by the final phase of the fight. In this fight, you start out with really low health and you can't fight properly so you really have to play on the counters.

Hong Kong Super Hacker

Rare
Bronze
For this trophy you will have to find all security camera's around the map, some of them are part of drug busts but some of them are hidden.

You can date Not Ping to make them appear on the map. Most of them are at drug busts but you will have to find some of them. After finding a camera you will have to crack the code. This shouldn't be to hard since the game gave you a tutorial about it. Cracking the code will count towards the Bronze Gadgetman trophy.

You can also use the maps from the Bronze North Point Scavenger, Bronze Central Scavenger and Bronze West End Scavenger trophies to find the security camera's. They're shown on the map as a little camera (some of the camera's are not shown on the given maps and that is because they are part of the drug busts).

In Sleeping Dogs, you have the option to change Wei's appearance by changing his Headwear, Shirts, Trousers, Accessories and Shoes. Clothing can provide a good boost to either the Triad, Cop or Face XP that you obtain from completing missions or favors throughout Hong Kong, so buying a full set is advisable from the start of the game. This can be a big grind along with buying all of the cars, but luckily for you, we have linked all of the clothing that you need to buy and which shops to buy them from below.

Around the city there are several Health Shrines where you can pray. Praying at 5 shrines will increase your health by 10%. You can date Amanda to make them appear on the minimap. There is a total of 50 health shrines around the map and they will be glowing if you find them.

You can use the maps from the trophies Bronze North Point Scavenger, Bronze Central Scavenger, and Bronze West End Scavenger. The health shrines look like the one in the trophy image.

Cars are a really nice thing and you will need them for transport and several events around the city. The only thing that is negative is the prize, luckily for you most cars don't cost a lot and can be bought early on.

It's best to wait until you maxed out your face level since this will give you a 40% discount, you can also wear a specific set of clothing that will decrease this percentage even more (this clothing set only counts for cars and not for clothes). Here is a detailed guide on what cars you will have to buy and how much they cost.

It is best to leave this trophy as one of the last ones you'll do since you get a lot of money from collecting lockboxes and doing the jobs for Tran.

Make sure that you see the tip in Tips & Strategies to decrease your time for the platinum and make this trophy and Bronze Fashion Victim a lot easier.

Within Sleeping Dogs, there are 32 challenges for Wei to complete. Each challenge has a Bronze, Silver and Gold rating and these increase in number/difficulty each time you reach a new Stat. In order to obtain this trophy, you will only need to gain 30 Gold Stat Awards in the challenges, so you have a little leeway if you are finding that your really struggling on a couple. This may sound daunting but don't worry, it isn't as bad as it sounds as most of the challenges are pretty easy. 

Below is a guide to each challenge which will provide you with the information on each challenge and the best way to obtain the Gold Stat in them too.


Overall - Total stat award: Bronze=1, Silver=2, Gold=3
For every award you get you get score. As stated above you get 3 points for a gold award. This one will unlock way before getting the 30 gold stat awards and also counts towards the trophy.

Fluid Striker  - Freerunning attacks (includes vault attacks, disarms and kills)
For this challenge only attacks from vaulting objects count. This won't come naturally most likely. What you can do is get a car and go to any drug bust or a group of enemies around the map. Park the car and lure the enemies to the car, vault over the car and hopefully you can knock out some enemies

Headhunter - Headshots
Simply aim at the head of your enemies when holding a gun and shoot. This is one that you will more than likely unlock naturally so don't worry about it too much.

Lucky shooter - Blindfire kills 
This is another one that's pretty simple as its the same as the above challenge but you just can't aim your gun at an enemy when you are wanting to kill them. Just shoot blindly and you should hopefully kill them. 

Firestarter - Total kills resulting from explosions 
Simply replay the mission Civil Discord until you get to the point where you'll get a grenade launcher. Now kill the enemies on the street. Restart the checkpoint if necessary.
 
Sniper - How accurate the last 50 shots were
When going for this award make sure that you are accurate with the gun, you probably don't have to grind it out and most likely unlock it in a story mission.

Gunman - Total firearm kills
This is a really easy challenge and you will definitely get this naturally. This challenge is simply the amount of enemies you kill with a firearm.

Ninja - Sneak kills performed by approaching an enemy from behind and pressing Circle Circle
You most likely won't get this one from story missions but don't worry! Go to any unsuspecting civilian and sneak kill him. Do this enough times until you get the gold stat award.

Bonebreaker - Limbs broken
The fastest way to break someone limbs is by Circle Square (hold) Square, You will not get this from the story missions so you'll have to replay the missions. Or if you want you can skip this award.

Environmentalist - Environmental kills
See Bronze Environmentalist for more information.

Handyman - Melee weapon kills
This will most likely unlock before finishing the story. If it didn't then go to any drug bust with a car and get a tire iron from the back of the car. Repeat this until you get the award.

Disarming - Disarms
Disarming is done by grappling or encountering an enemy which is done by pressing Circle Disarming can only be done on enemies that are carrying melee weapons but if you find you are struggling to find enemies post game, then just disarm some civilians as this also counts towards the total.

Defence - Counters
This one is fairly simple and will unlock before completing the story. You counter enemies by pressing Triangle when they highlight red. 

Fast Talker - Fast talk success
Most likely unlocks before completing the story, otherwise replay the mission Dockyard Heist. Fast talking occurs when you are doing a stealth mission (or a part stealth.) A guard or cop will come to you and you have to press Triangle when the pop up occurs.

Deadeye - Thrown weapon kills
Best done by playing Death by a thousand cuts. In this mission there will be a lot of knives and cleavers you can throw. You can throw your weapon by pressing R2. Make sure you are locked on to an enemy by holding L2.

Martial Artist - Total melee kills
Will unlock before completing the story. Melee kills are kills with your hands. This shouldn't be a big problem. If you don't have the kills at the end of the story then play the Martial Arts Clubs.

Enforcer - Total enemies defeated
Comes naturally, will most likely unlock before finishing the story missions. Otherwise do the Martial Arts Clubs until it unlocks.

Safe Driver - Total clean drive time in a car (above min speed)
See Bronze Safe Driver for more information.

Reckless Driver - Total time driven at full speed in a Class A car
You will need a class A car first. You can unlock some by completing story missions or you can buy one. Now the only thing you have to do is to drive full speed for a total of 30 minutes. This is best done on the highways. You can't use bikes for this award.

Hijacker - Action hijacks performed
See Bronze Stuntman for more information.

Wrecker - Total cars wrecked
Simply replay the mission Civil Discord until you get to the point where you'll get a grenade launcher. Now shoot the 4 cars that are present on the street and reload the checkpoint. Keep doing this until you get the award.

Racer - Races won
See Bronze Wei Of The Road for more information.

Mogul - Total earnings 
Comes naturally over the course of the game. You can also do the jobs for Tran to get cash quickly.

Big Spender - Total money spent
Comes naturally when you are buying cars / clothes for the trophies.

Gambler - Gambling earnings (cockfight and mahjong winnings - losses)
This awards only counts the winnings, if you lose a cockfight or a mahjong game the counter will stay still until you earn back the cash you lost. This is best done on the cockfight at Kennedy docks since you can win 100.000 per game. Make sure to save before you bet.

Completionist - Total completion percentage
Comes naturally when you are going for the platinum. This award is the same as Gold Chief Inspector.

Explorer - Total shrines and lockboxes found, statues returned, and security cameras hacked
Comes naturally when going for the related trophies. Simply collect all collectables and the award will unlock. Statues can be found on the map after finishing the story.

Survivor - Time survived at any heat level above 1
For this award you will have to get the cops on your back. After this just drive around, slow enough to not lose the cops. Survive enough time and the award will come.

Rogue Cop - Cops killed at any heat level above 1 
Killing cops is fairly simple. If you already completed the story you can pick up the golden gun from your appartment. Now find a cop / some cops and kill them. More cops will spawn and you can go on your rampage. Kill enough cops and the award will unlock.

Public Enemy - Most kills in one play session
For this award you have to get 200 kills in one play session (for the gold award.) Just keep playing story missions and do the Martial Arts Clubs until you reach this massive amount.

Smashing Success - Number of enemies thrown into Zodic island combat props
This can only be done in the event Zodiac Tournament. This is the same as environmentalist, grab a enemy whilst fighting and throw him in a highlighted object. This can easily be grinded in the second mission of the tournament.

Statuesque - Number of fire opal statues collected
This can only be done in the event Zodiac Tournament. Around the island are 12 statues that can be collected. After finishing all the missions in the tournament the statues apear around the map. There is one downside to this, the map is glitched and you can't see them on the map. You can spot them on the minimap or you can folow this video :
