Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues: 100% Completion Guide

After completing the “valley fest” mission for the first time with your chosen dojo your save becomes a NG+ save instead. The effects of this are:

1. It is no longer possible to play as your original dojo or characters from your original dojo period.
2. You receive 10,000 tokens.
3. Map progress and collectable progress is preserved
4. The true final boss is unlocked after your second completion of valley fest.

No matter what you do after this point it is impossible to return to your original characters and complete challenges that you have missed. It is extremely easy to block a save from 100% completion by completing valley fest too early.
The game also does not keep track of which upgrades you purchased for Johnny or Daniel for the Krese fight.

For that reason below is a checklist for all of the completion items that must be completed before entering NG+ in order to make a 100% completion file possible.

• Kill at least one enemy with each dojo member’s ultimate (4/8 progress on “obliteration” challenge under “skill master“)
• Complete every map with any rating (all map locations blue/orange)

• Finish 10 Chop Shop Guys with Johnny (“repairs required” challenge under “specialist“)
• Defeat 3 posh moms with Johnny (“A+ parenting” challenge under “surgical“)
• Defeat Brucks with Miguel (“who’s rhea now?” challenge under “surgical“)
• Beat Armand with Miguel’s jump skill (“dodge the irony” steam achievement)
• Must be completed on first attempt beat Daniel with Johnny’s crane kick ultimate in “valley fest” (completes “Cobra Kai Never Dies” steam achievement)

• Defeat 3 Baseball Fans with Robby (“strike out” challenge under “specialist“)
• Defeat a Skeleton Lord with Daniel (“past nightmare” challenge under “surgical“)
• Must be completed on first attempt beat Johnny with Daniel’s crane kick ultimate in “valley fest” (completes “34 years later” challenge under “karate champion“)

Challenges are all self explanatory so this section exists as a reference guide for the fastest way to sweep up missing challenges.

For most ‘Specialist’ and ‘Surgical’ achievements this is the fastest place to grind them out in bulk.

If you miss this challenge due to skipping food for the score bonus you can find all 3 types of food immediately prior to the Cruz fight within Mini Golf and Arcade.

Impossible to avoid while completing the achievement ‘Fear Does Not Exist in this Dojo‘.

All street goon colour variants count for this achievement.

Only Pedro (blue), Matheus (purple) and Coutinho (teal) are considered to be ‘Speedy Goons’.

To perform a throw attack walk into an enemy to grab them and then press the dodge/parry button. Any skeleton counts for this challenge.

As baseball skeletons drop their bats when defeated this can be quickly achieved against the double skeleton-lord boss fight in valley fest.

Kick combos from all characters launch enemies into the air as do many dojo specials like Miyagi-Do’s ‘Icicle Jump‘ and cobra kai’s ‘Kai Kick‘

Enemies without the ‘immune to parry finishers‘ trait have a chance to be thrown at the screen after each successful parry.

If you fail this challenge on your first attempt then force closing the game should allow you to try again from the beginning.

This is most easily completed on Addison St as the mission is short and all enemies can be both grabbed and parried (big boned skeletons can only be parried during their wake up attacks).

While collectable count is tracked in game only 90/99 are required for 100% of steam achievements.
For a complete list of collectables and their locations, see my all collectables guide.

Most steam achievements are a prerequisite or duplicate of other completion criteria (i.e. challenge groups) so all that will be discussed here are unique completion criteria from steam.

The brackets panel can be found in the All Valley Tournament Arena. Each of the 4 segments must be hit once to unlock this.

There are two achievements with this name and neither matches the criteria for the challenge of the same name. The hardest variant of this achievement requires you parry consistently without getting hit.
This is most easy to achieve either on Addison St due to the density of easy, parry able enemies or against a boss enemy with a consistent wake up attack that can be parried such as Kyler during his solo boss battle in either Smitty’s Diner or Valley Fest.

Story based unlock for completing your 2nd playthrough.

This is most easy to achieve either on Addison St due to the short length and simple enemy patterns or Morrison St due to the extremely short length and generally easy enemies.

Extremely painful in both 5th Avenue Bar and Valley Fest. It’s probably best to try to gradually chip down Graham and Armand with Burning Feet or other characters and then opportunistically go for the kill when Armand is low enough.
NOTE: If you begin your campaign with Cobra Kai this MUST be completed before the mission Valley Fest or you will be unable to complete it without starting a new Cobra Kai campaign.

NOTE: If you begin your campaign with Cobra Kai this MUST be completed on your first the mission Valley Fest or you will be unable to complete it without starting a new Cobra Kai campaign.
