…And lived happily ever after
Finish the game.

Finish the story of the game. Afterwards you can revisit any levels of the game for any collectibles that you may need.

KAO!
Collect the KAO letters on all levels.

There are 11 KAO words to spell (11 x 3 =33 letters) by collecting all the letters within the indicated levels. You can replay any level to obtain any missing 3 letters. See the KAO the Kangaroo Collectibles Guide.

Healthy
Unlock all extra heart slots.

You will need to have full health which is 10 hearts shown in your HUD in the top left corner of your screen. You begin the game with 3 hearts. You will need to find 16 quarter hearts and buy 12 quarter hearts from the vendors in the 4 different worlds. See the KAO the Kangaroo Collectibles Guide.

Find’em All
Collect all the Kaopedia entries about Foes.

You will only need to collect the Scrolls that are for the enemies in the game. All of these will be earned when you defeat one of these enemies as they will drop their Scroll upon defeat. Therefore, you do not need to collect any other Scrolls in the game.

Master Key
Collect all the runes

There are 50 Ruins in the game that you will need to collect. Some are in plain sight, some are hidden and require a little bit of searching, and some are earned by story related events like helping a NPC or completing a level which spawns Ruins in the main hub level of that world. Always break boxes, as there may be a secret pathway behind or below them. Sometimes you may need to use one of your powers (fire, ice, leaf) to remove an item that is blocking your pathway or hidden pathway like spider webs, ice doors, wooden beams, etc. See the KAO the Kangaroo Collectibles Guide.

Flawless Victory
Defeat one of the bosses without receiving damage.

There are 4 bosses in the game, each during the last level of each world. You will need to defeat one of the them without taking any damage. Their attacks are always the same. If you do not earn this on your first encounter with a boss, you can exit and then replay the level. These are very short encounters that last only a few minutes.

Between Worlds
Find and complete all of the Eternal Wells.

There are 14 External Wells in the game. The worlds and relative locations are listed in the KAO the Kangaroo Collectibles Guide.

Health Insurance
Have 20 lives in total.

You will need to have 20 extra lives which you can either buy from vendors, complete a task to reveal some, or find them scattered throughout the levels of the game. You can go back to previous levels and re-earn previously found extra lives, especially in The Hungry Jungle after completing the boxing ring area along the river.

Fatality
Defeat five enemies at once with a finisher.

You will need to unleash a Finisher move and defeat 5 enemies at the same time. You can hit all of the enemies first to reduce their health while building up your Finisher move meter. Once you have hit them all twice and your Finisher meter is full, be as close as possible to all 5 of these enemies so that the Finisher move defeats them at once.

There are many locations in the game where you can complete this, and some include:
1. The Frosty Canyon in arena area – 5 Fringers.
2. The Hot Springs near beginning – 1 Fringer and Piranha Keeper drops 5 Piranhas.
3. The Durian Valley – 5 Bongos near the 2 hanging explosive bags.
4. The Dark Forest – 5 Frogsters near band area or the bar area.
