Achievement Roadmap
Most achievements in Stick It to the Stickman come from normal career progression, but several are easy to miss because they require unusual choices or very specific combat setups. This guide helps you clear the straightforward milestones first, then return for the hidden and challenge-based unlocks with a focused plan.
Start by advancing through the exchange and completing newly available activities. That route unlocks several achievements naturally while also opening the modes and locations needed for later cleanup.
| Achievement | Requirement | Best timing |
|---|---|---|
| You can't fire me, I'm leaving myself | Defeat the rooftop boss for the first time. | First successful rooftop run |
| Entering the stock exchange | Defeat the rooftop boss again. | Second rooftop victory |
| Climb the career ladder | Climb 100 stairs total. | Earned during regular play |
| Learn to drive | Reach its exchange level and complete training. | After training becomes available |
| Oriented | Play at the fulfillment center after unlocking it. | First visit to the center |
| We only go out at night | Unlock and play a night shift as any character. | After reaching its exchange level |
| Fighting with hands behind your back | Complete training that unlocks rating battles. | During exchange progression |
The rooftop boss victories are the clearest early goals. Do not worry about forcing combat-specific achievements during these first runs; upgrades and optional modes become more useful once your exchange progression has opened more of the city.
For the stair achievement, simply keep moving through the environment rather than restarting runs unnecessarily. It is cumulative, so it should arrive without special grinding if you explore normally.
Progression and Location Unlocks
The exchange acts as the main gate for several achievements. When a new activity appears, enter it at least once before moving on. This keeps progression achievements from becoming an endgame checklist where you have to remember which locations you ignored.
| Unlock path | What to do | Achievement earned |
|---|---|---|
| First rooftop completion | Beat the rooftop boss. | You can't fire me, I'm leaving myself |
| Second rooftop completion | Beat the rooftop boss another time. | Entering the stock exchange |
| Training access | Finish the available training section. | Learn to drive |
| Fulfillment center access | Enter and play the fulfillment center. | Oriented |
| Night shift access | Start a night shift with any character. | We only go out at night |
| Rating-battle access | Complete the training tied to rating battles. | Fighting with hands behind your back |
A practical order is:
- Finish a normal run until you beat the rooftop boss.
- Repeat that route for the second boss clear.
- Check the exchange whenever you return to the city.
- Complete training as soon as it appears.
- Visit the fulfillment center and night shift when they unlock.
- Continue climbing stairs between activities to build progress toward the cumulative stair requirement.
Night shift matters beyond its own achievement. Completing it once begins the chain for Red regicide, so make sure you finish a shift rather than only unlocking the option.
Some descriptions point to a particular exchange level rather than a named story milestone. If an activity is not available yet, keep progressing the exchange instead of searching the city for a hidden entrance. The game is signaling that the required content is still locked.
Challenge and Secret Achievement Guide
The remaining achievements require deliberate setup. Several are easier on a fresh save or in co-op, where you can control the circumstances instead of trying to improvise during a busy run.
| Achievement | Setup | How to finish |
|---|---|---|
| Disabled | Start a new run. | Repeatedly refuse work at the beginning until your character dies. |
| Unfired | Use Task Dodger and upgrade Paper Airplane fully. | Obtain the fire extinguisher and use it on a burning colleague. |
| Fists of Dismissal | Prefer a fresh save and a fist-focused build. | Land 100 consecutive hand hits, then defeat a boss without breaking the streak. |
| Red regicide | Complete night shift once. | Break five red cardboard statues, then eliminate the marked stickmen in hats. |
| Color profiling | Draw police attention. | Take a police car, kill an officer, then go through the auto repair shop. |
| Unemployable | Follow the refusal-work story path. | Continue the story and feed your daughter at home. |
Disabled
Disabled is an early-run choice achievement. At the very beginning, refuse work multiple times rather than accepting the normal task flow. Continue refusing until the character dies.
This is missable for that run. If you have already progressed past the opening, create a new save file and retry it immediately. It is usually faster than trying to determine whether the opening sequence can be revisited.
Unfired
Unfired is easiest with the Task Dodger character. Max out the Paper Airplane ability until it provides access to a fire extinguisher, then extinguish a colleague who is already on fire.
In solo play, creating the fire state can be the difficult part. A cigar can help create the needed burning target before you use the extinguisher. In co-op, have another player bring a fire-causing attack while you handle the extinguisher.
Fists of Dismissal
Fists of Dismissal demands consistency more than damage. You need a 100-hit streak using only your hands, followed by a boss defeat. Using another attack breaks the streak, so avoid picking up weapons or casually using abilities that are not counted as hand strikes.
A character with a fully upgraded Karate Punch is a useful option because it makes fist-based damage more reliable. Choose safe enemies, keep spacing under control, and do not rush into the boss until the streak is secure.
Red regicide
After you unlock night shift and complete it once, five red cardboard statues appear around the city. Destroy all five. This triggers a phone marker and directs you toward stickmen wearing hats.
The targets are marked, so the hard part is not locating them; it is remembering to begin the chain by finishing night shift. Clear the statues methodically before pursuing the marked enemies.
Color profiling and Unemployable
For Color profiling, provoke the police by taking a police car and killing an officer. Once the police are involved, continue through the auto repair shop to finish the condition.
Unemployable is a hidden achievement associated with refusing work and continuing that storyline until you feed your daughter at home. Because refusal choices can change your route, treat it as a dedicated run instead of attempting it during a standard progression attempt.
FAQ
What is the fastest way to use this stick it to the stickman trophy guide?
Earn the exchange and rooftop achievements through normal play first. Then use separate runs for Disabled, Unemployable, and Fists of Dismissal, since each benefits from a controlled setup.
Can I get Disabled after accepting work at the start?
No. The refusal sequence needs to happen at the beginning of a run. Start a new save file if you have already passed that opening.
Is Unfired possible without co-op?
Yes, but it is more demanding. Use Task Dodger, fully upgrade Paper Airplane for the extinguisher, and find a way to ignite a colleague, such as using a cigar, before extinguishing them.
What breaks the Fists of Dismissal streak?
Any non-hand attack can reset the 100-hit requirement. Keep the build simple, avoid weapons, and focus on fist attacks until you defeat the boss.
When do the red statues for Red regicide appear?
They appear after night shift has been unlocked and completed once. Destroy all five red cardboard statues to receive the next marked-target objective.
