Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game stat priorities, Survival Horror, and Boss Rush mode details. Unlock codes and strategies included.

Stat Priorities:

  • Speed: Crucial for offense. If enemies interrupt your attacks due to superior speed, you will struggle to deal damage and survive, regardless of other stats.
  • Strength: Important for reducing the number of hits needed to defeat enemies, especially for late-game bosses where longer fights are more dangerous.
  • Defense: Worth investing in as you cannot completely avoid damage. Sufficient points in Speed and Strength should also reduce how often you get hit.
  • Willpower: Generally considered a dump stat, as its benefits can often be replicated by high Defense.

General Stat Advice:

  • Do not completely ignore any stat. The best way to increase Defense also increases Willpower by the same amount.
  • While some stats are more obviously useful, the best results come from investing in every stat.
  • If you are not grinding extensively or are early in the game, focus on the most impactful stats first.

Survival Horror Mode:

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Select your character.
  2. 2
    Survive for 30 minutes against an endless stream of Zombie Jerrys and Zombie Lucys.
  3. 3
    You retain your stats and start with full HP/GP, but you have only one life. Losing it ends the game.
  4. 4
    The number of enemies on-screen increases as you kill more. You start with six and can reach over 30 after killing approximately 200 zombies.
  5. 5
    Zombie Jerry and Zombie Lucy have the same power and resilience as in the main game.
  6. 6
    At 6 minutes, a lead-up to Negascott's boss theme begins, and the theme starts at 7 minutes, playing for the remainder of the round.
  7. 7
    Tip: To maximize survival time, avoid attacking enemies for the first ten minutes. This allows the enemy count to ramp up slowly, preventing overwhelming crowds.
  8. 8
    Tip: Knock enemies down and use them as weapons to gain a range advantage, which is crucial for success in this mode.
  9. 9
    Warning: It is strongly recommended to have maxed-out stats in everything before attempting to win this mode due to the overwhelming odds.
  • Loss: $0.05 X the number of enemies killed.
  • Win: $0.50 X the number of enemies killed. This mode is primarily for bragging rights as you will likely have sufficient funds by this point.

Boss Rush Mode:

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You have one life and start with full HP/GP. Your stats carry over.
  2. 2
    Defeat all bosses in the following order: Matthew Patel, Lucas Lee, Lynette/Envy (only one needs to be beaten), Todd Ingram, Roxanne Richter, Robot-01, Super Fighting Robot, The Katayanagi Twins, Negascott, Super Gideon Graves, Gigadeon Graves, and Gideon Gordon Graves.
  3. 3
    Note: You will not be given a weapon against Lucas Lee, Roxanne Richter, The Katayanagi Twins, or Super Gideon.
  4. 4
    Note: The Sword of Love is provided for the Gigadeon Graves fight and can be carried into the Gideon Gordon Graves fight, making that battle easier.
  5. 5
    You are awarded the normal amount of money each boss drops. However, picking it all up may be difficult, and the game prevents 1-up exploits (Todd will not drop one).
  6. 6
    Warning: Ensure your stats are very high before attempting this mode.
  • Loss: $1 for every boss defeated.
  • Win: A bonus of $12. The per-boss rate is the same as failure.

Knives Chau Unlock:
