Epic Mickey: Rebrushed

Unlock Details

This trophy is essentially the game asking: “Were you nice?” To unlock it, you need to complete a full Paint run and fully repair all Animatronics. What this means in practice: All bosses must be defeated using Paint You cannot finish a boss with Thinner. Even tapping into Thinner for a boss fight can invalidate this trophy. Commit to Paint and stay committed. All Animatronic quests must be completed. This includes finding and returning all parts for: Animatronic Goofy, Animatronic Daisy, Animatronic Donald. Each character must be fully repaired. Important timing warning: You must finish all Animatronic repairs before entering the final projector to Tomorrow City. Once you pass that point, unfinished quests are locked out and the trophy becomes unobtainable on that run. If you: Mix Paint and Thinner on bosses Skip repairing any Animatronic Enter the final projector before finishing everything …then this trophy is missable, and you’ll need to start a new playthrough. Once you complete the game having defeated every boss with Paint and repaired all Animatronics, the trophy unlocks at the end. In short: be heroic, be consistent, don’t get tempted by Thinner, and make sure everyone is put back together before the finale. The game absolutely remembers.

There are five total health upgrades in the game. Collect all of them and this trophy unlocks automatically. You’ll get these through a mix of story progress, side objectives, and light grinding, nothing outrageous, but you do need to be thorough. Important warning up front: this trophy is missable, and it’s currently bugged in New Game+. Heart containers do not carry over correctly, and you may be unable to purchase the shop-based upgrades in NG+. Do this on a fresh save before the point of no return. Here’s where to find all five: Mean Street – Ice Cream Shop After completing Tomorrow City for the first time, head to the ice cream shop on Mean Street. You can buy your first health upgrade here for 250 tickets. Cheap, easy, no excuses. OsTown – Ortensia’s Locket If you collect all of Animatronic Goofy’s parts and repair him, Ortensia’s house will unlock in OsTown. Inside is her locket. Take it to Oswald near the projectors on Mean Street and he’ll reward you with a health upgrade. Emotional closure and more health. Pirates of the Wasteland – Hub Shop In the final Pirates level where you’re saving Smee’s ship, you must fully commit to one path: Fill all four machines with Paint, or Fill all four machines with Thinner. No mixing. Do this correctly and a health upgrade becomes available for purchase in the hub shop. Mean Street – Film Reel Turn-In This is the grindy one. Turn in 56 film reels to the NPC outside the movie theater on Mean Street. Once you hit the magic number, you’ll receive a health upgrade. It takes time, but nothing here is missable if you stay on top of exploration. OsTown – Gus’ Reward After dealing with the tentacles in OsTown, Gus will give you the final health upgrade before you leave the area. Straightforward story reward, just don’t rush past it. Once all five heart containers are collected, the trophy unlocks. Again, because of the NG+ bug, treat this as a one-run-only objective. If you pass the point of no return without all five upgrades, you’re looking at another full playthrough. Mickey’s heart may be stronger, but your patience might not be.

This one is quick, easy, and very easy to forget. During your first visit to Mickeyjunk Mountain, you’ll reach an area with a crane. To the right of the crane is a phone with a keypad. This is the only phone that matters for the trophy. To unlock it, simply jump on the keypad buttons and dial incorrect numbers. You don’t need a specific combination, just mash keys like you’re rage-dialing customer support. After dialing the wrong number three times, the trophy unlocks. This trophy is missable. If you leave Mickeyjunk Mountain without doing this, there’s no going back, and your only option is another full playthrough. So when you see the phone, stop, step on buttons, embrace chaos, and move on knowing you’ll never have to worry about it again.

Blotlings are the purple enemies that spend the entire game harassing you and generally refusing to mind their own business. Normally you’re thinning or fighting them, but for this trophy, you need to paint five of them at the same time. This is very straightforward. Whenever you run into a large group of Blotlings, just start painting instead of attacking. As long as five painted Blotlings exist simultaneously, the trophy unlocks immediately. They don’t need to survive long, just long enough for the game to count them. You’ll almost certainly get this naturally if you’re going for Silver Painter or playing with a heavy paint-focused style. Late-game areas especially love throwing Blotlings at you in clusters. That said, this trophy is missable. If you reach the end of the game without painting five at once, you’ll need another playthrough. In short: see a crowd of purple gremlins, paint them all, enjoy your momentary army, grab the trophy, and then resume restoring order.

Gilda is first introduced on Mean Street while you’re working toward your first Power Spark. If you talk to Pete inside the jail, he’ll mention losing a race to Gilda and giving her a gear. Head outside to the front of the fire station, talk to Gilda, and start the race. The Mean Street race is extremely simple: sprint through the goalposts, loop around the streets, and finish. Win the race, get the gear, and, more importantly, unlock Gilda as a recurring rival for the rest of the game. From this point on, Gilda will appear in later hub areas after you complete their main story sections. If you skip a race or move on too far, she can disappear, which will lock you out of the trophy unless you do another run. Important notes before listing locations: If you fail a race, just talk to her again and retry. Always sprint the entire time (R3) and follow the trail, none of these races are difficult. Each race rewards a Power Spark, so you’re getting paid to win. If you miss one entirely, you’ll need to do all races again in NG+, not just the one you skipped. Where to race Gilda: Mean Street – In front of the fire station during the Power Spark introduction. OsTown – After completing Mickeyjunk Mountain / Tomorrow City, she appears near the bridge. Pirates of the Wasteland hub – After finishing the story, she’s behind the building that had the guarded chest. Go around the left side and jump up to start the race. Bog Easy – After completing the story, she’s to the left of the entrance projector on the docks near the boat. Win all four races and the trophy unlocks. As long as you sprint nonstop, jump cleanly through the gates, and don’t ignore her for too long, this is one of the easiest trophies in the game. Gilda talks big, but she cannot outrun Mickey Mouse.

This trophy happens early, but it is missable, so don’t rush through Gremlin Village like you’ve got a FastPass. Gremlin Village is your first major area and starts in a fairground before opening up into the village itself. To unlock this, you must follow the Paint path and actually fix the rides instead of thinning everything into oblivion. In the main fairground area, you’ll see the teacup ride and the elephant ride. Thin out one of the teacups to reveal a wrench, then paint the teacup back in because you’re not a monster. Use the wrench to repair the elephant ride. After that, follow the path to the nearby machine and fill it with paint to repair the teacup ride. That’s two down. You’ll later pass through a hippo ride where you paint in the hippo heads to move forward. This does not count toward the trophy, which is rude, but you should paint it anyway to progress. Finally, once you reach Gremlin Village proper, look for leaking steam pipes. Paint all of them in, then spin the nearby gear to repair the final ride. Once this is done, the trophy will unlock. If you leave Gremlin Village without repairing all three required rides, that’s it, no backtracking. Your only option then is starting a new game, which is significantly less fun than just fixing things the first time.

Throughout the game, especially early on, you’ll find Gremlins trapped in cages. You’ll usually hear them before you see them, tapping on the glass like they’re trying to get your attention in the least subtle way possible. Most of these cages are hidden behind Toon walls, so exploration is the key here. If something looks paintable or suspicious, thin it out and check behind it. When you find a caged Gremlin, just spin attack the cage to free them. You really don’t need to go out of your way for this. If you explore even a little, you’ll come across way more than 12 over the course of the game. Most players will unlock this naturally somewhere around the early part of the game, shortly after Tomorrow City. That said, this trophy is missable. If you somehow avoid freeing enough Gremlins while moving through the hub sub-areas and progress past the point of no return, you’ll need to start a new playthrough. Bottom line: explore, thin walls, break cages, be a hero. The Gremlins are counting on you, and they’re loud enough to make sure you notice.

This trophy is earned by playing the game the “bad” way and committing to a full Thinner-only run from start to finish. If you ever dip into Paint during a boss fight, even once, this trophy will be locked out for that playthrough. Every boss in the game must be defeated using Thinner. Do not mix approaches, and do not finish any boss with Paint. Consistency matters here, and the game tracks it. You must also leave all Animatronics disassembled. That means you should not return parts to Animatronic Goofy, Animatronic Daisy, or Animatronic Donald at any point. Even repairing a single Animatronic will invalidate the trophy. There is one very important exception to watch for during the final Mad Doctor fight. Do not free any Gremlins during this encounter. If you do, they will assist you in the fight, and that assistance counts as the Paint route, which immediately locks you out of this trophy. Let them stay trapped, no matter how tempting it is to help. Once you defeat the final boss having used Thinner on every boss and leaving all Animatronics unrepaired, the trophy will unlock. This trophy is missable. If you mix Paint and Thinner, repair any Animatronic, or free Gremlins during the final fight, you will need to start a new playthrough. The game remembers your choices, and it does not forgive them.

Mean Street is the game’s main hub, so you’ll be back here constantly. This trophy wants you to repaint every bit of toon in the area, and yes, it can be annoyingly picky. The good news: you can do it the first time you enter Mean Street. The bad news: you’ll feel like you’re painting the same wall for a mortgage inspection. To unlock it, make sure everything is painted in, not just the obvious big buildings. That includes building pieces, decorative parts, and especially the “sky” details on the walls. Two common misses that stop the trophy from popping: The floating cloud in front of the train station clock, It’s hovering in mid-air and easy to overlook. Paint it. The clouds painted on the walls (the fake sky). These are the real problem. From a distance they can look filled in, but up close they’ll be unpainted. Some are tiny and blend in like they’re trying to avoid taxes. Best method: Do one full pass painting the obvious stuff (all buildings and any thinned objects you can see). Then do a slow second pass focusing on every inch of the wall-sky. You can get on the rooftops on either side by jumping/climbing up the buildings, do that to check higher wall sections and angles you can’t see from ground level. If it still doesn’t unlock, comb the street level again for anything you may have thinned out earlier and forgot to repaint. This trophy is missable. If you go past the point of no return (the game warns you), and you haven’t repainted everything, you’ll need another playthrough. Think of it like this: Mean Street must be 100% painted… including the clouds that pretend they’re already painted. Classic.
