Introduction
Inspired by classic Hollywood and Asian cinema style action thrillers, Sleeping Dogs is a gritty open-world cop drama set in the vibrant city of Hong Kong. Sleeping Dogs catapults players into the role of undercover cop Wei Shen, tasked with taking down one of the world’s most fearsome criminal organizations from the inside... the Hong Kong Triads. As players explore the bustling and crowded Hong Kong island, through its neon-lit side streets and sprawling street markets, an incredible story unfolds of loyalty and betrayal where Wei begins to question his own motives as he is sucked in deeper than he could ever imagine.

Step 1: Story
Complete the story by finishing all of the triad missions and cases marked with green shields and blue shields respectively. During this point you will be able to gather collectibles and do side missions. Also leveling up your Face, Triad and Cop status as much as possible.

NOTE:
So a lot of people are having trouble unlocking this, even though they have completed all the requirements. They all seem to be stuck at a certain percentage (ex. 91.10% / 100%). The method that seems to be fixing this is to go back and redo the First Martial Arts Club, the one next to the Kung Fu temple where you learn all your fighting moves.

Step 2: Collectibles 
These aren't too bad to find. There are 4 different kinds of collectibles. Lockbox, Security Camera, Health Shrine and Jade Statues. After completing a certain task you will be able to view all kinds of collectibles on your map.

 

  • Lockbox 100 in total.
  • Security Camera 26 in total.
  • Health Shrines 50 in total.
  • Jade Statues 11 in total.

Here is a video showing you all the locations of all collectibles (Location only). Look at the achievements below for a video guide on where to find the appropriate collectibles. Or click HERE to also view the videos. Take this time to go out and finish any side mission you have not completed yet and any missing collectibles. This is also a good time to grind out any missing Stat Awards if you need to reach level 10 in Face, Triad or Cop. You can also replay missions if needed. Press  and go to the Social Hub, tap  a few time and you will be able to replay previous missions

 

Nightmare in North Point

 

Step 3: 
This DLC is started from the main menu. The DLC CANNOT be replayed upon completion, so Cursed Gold is missable. There are two achievements in the DLC that are story-related and cannot be missed. There are ten collectibles in this DLC in the form of shrines. They are all located in North Point, so finding them is easy. The hardest part about this DLC is achieving all 5 Gold awards, so keep an eye out while playing to complete these with ease. While playing, you'll come across some Peachwood swords. USE these against the large demons, the Yaoguai. You'll need to kill 15 of them with the Peachwood sword. These guys are hard to find, so DO NOT ever kill one without a sword.


 

Year of the Snake



Step 4:
This DLC is started from the main menu. There are a total of four achievements that can be obtained through this DLC. Bomb Squad and Cult Master will be obtained through the storyline and cannot be missed. There are a total of 20 collectibles in the form of Evidence Bags scattered throughout Kennedy Town, Central, and Aberdeen which can be obtained during, or after the main storyline. Finding all the collectibles will unlock Goodie Monster. Lastly, there will be four yellow speech bubbles (Favors) and eight light blue police badges (Side Jobs) that appear on your map while playing through the DLC. These can be completed at any time during the DLC in order to obtain Hong Kong's Finest.

Conclusion: 
As good as Sleeping Dogs is, its name represents the game very well. Not everyone got around to playing it, which is a genuine shame. Packed with action, emotion and attainable gamerscore, Sleeping Dogs is the full package.

    Pretty straight forward achievement. Get into a car, a slow car would be best as you can control it better. Get onto the highway and just drive without hitting anything for 2 minutes. A timer will pop up on the bottom right corner of your screen.
     

    Alternate Solution:

    If you are not having any luck getting this while driving on the highway. You can go to the round about towards the top right of the map. I would recommend a class C or high vehicle, that way you can maintain a steady speed in order to unlock this.

    Go to this point on the the map: https://i.imgur.com/j8NuU.jpg
    And simply start to drive around the circle at a steady speed for 2 minutes. You will not have to worry about other cars, side walk objects or pedestrians getting in your way. It is the easiest and flawless way to get this.

    Achieve 5 Gold Awards.

    There are only 5 new challenges to achieve gold on:

    NOTE: The DLC missions CANNOT be replayed to get any missing kills or stats.
     

    • Vampire Hunter: Kill 200 Jiang Shi 
    • Demon Hunter: Kill 20 Yaoguai
    • Demonic Exorcism: Kill 15 Yaoguai sith with the Peachwood Sword
    • Hard to get: Avoid 100 Jiang Shi bites
    • Underworld Offering: Find all 10 Hell Shrines


    TIPS:
    • Vampire Hunter: Kill 200 Jiang Shi - (YOU MUST KILL THE ENEMY WITH MELEE COMBAT, CAR KILLS DO NOT COUNT) Jiang Shis are the most common enemies in this DLC, simply completing the story and the secondary content should get you about 100 kills. An easy way to get the remaining kills would be to find an energy source (light blue circles that continuously respawn enemies) and just grind out the kills before you deactivate the energy source. These energy sources only appear in Story missions and some secondary content (blue markers on the map).

    If you have completed all the story missions and secondary content you will have to look for the Jiang Shi by driving around Northpoint. Alleyways seem to be a good location to find them. They can also be found near most Hell Money Shrines. If you can't find any Jiang Shi simply save, exit to main menu, reload and revisit the same alleyways and Shrines.

    • Demon Hunter: Kill 20 Yaoguai - Read Demonic Exorcism.

    • Demonic Exorcism: Kill 15 Yaoguai with the Peachwood Sword - NEVER use the Peachwood swords on the Jiang Shi, if you see a bunch of Jiang Shi, drop your sword, defeat them and pick up your sword again. Only use the sword on the Yaoguai, this will make it much easier to get the remaining kills. As you complete story missions, secondary content will be unlocked (Blue and Purple markers on map) Always do a blue mission first, you will get a Peachwood sword, then go to a purple marker, kill the Yaoguai with the sword. This will get you a few extra kills. 

    After the story line is complete, drive around Northpoint and you will see a red marker (enemy marker) on your mini map. Those can either be Jiang Shi or a Peachwood Sword sticking out of the ground, grab the sword and Yaoguai will spawn, kill the Yaoguai with the sword and go look for another marker. This may sound hard but the swords are actually very common.

    • Hard to get: Avoid 100 Jiang Shi bites - One of the Jiang Shi's attacks is biting your neck, simply counter, , when they bite. You should get a decent amount of these by just doing the story, secondary content and killing the 200 Jiang Shi you need for the Vampire Hunter award. 

    To get the remaining counters simply grapple a Jiang Shi, , don't hit the Jiang Shi or move it around just wait a couple seconds, the Jiang Shi will free itself from your grapple and will ALWAYS go for the bite. Just counter it and repeat this on the Jiang Shi until you get the gold award or kill the Jiang Shi, if you kill it just do the same thing with another one. This is easier to do on the last Jiang Shi of a group since you won't have the worry about the other Jiang Shi trying to hit you.

    • Underworld Offering: Find all 10 Hell Shrines - Look at "Hell Money" achievement for more information on where to find the Hell Shrines.
