Stick It to the Stickman Secret Characters and Unlocks
A version-bounded route for secret-character leads in Stick It to the Stickman, including Red-gicide, the Dark Knight, and the warehouse investigation.
Use a clue-led unlock route
Quick answer
Secret characters are split between gym milestones, city clean-up tasks and an input code. Start with the gym because its exercise requirements are the clearest confirmed gate; keep the city and Dark Knight branches separate so a missed prerequisite is easy to diagnose.
Unlock the areas first
Before you start
Open the gym in the tower before attempting the exercise characters. For the city branch, look for the CEO cutouts and the phone-marked task; for the input branch, use the current key combination and version boundary rather than an old single-key instruction.
Unlocks in a safe order
Do this in order
- Open the tower gym and complete 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups and 100 squats.Expected: The exercise route unlocks Saitama and the linked yellow variant branch.
- Check the character roster after the gym challenge instead of assuming the unlock is automatic on the next run.Expected: Saitama and the yellow character are visible as separate roster entries.
- For the city branch, break all five CEO cardboard cutouts.Expected: The city objective is complete before you search for its follow-up character.
- When the phone mark appears, follow the marked stickmen task rather than wandering the whole map.Expected: The clue supplies the next target and keeps the route reproducible.
- For the Dark Knight branch, confirm any Cinema prerequisite reported by the current evidence before repeating the final task.Expected: You do not mistake a missing area unlock for a failed character trigger.
- For the input-unlock character, hold Left Control and press Backspace on version 0.80 or later.Expected: The current input route is used; older Backspace-only instructions are not mixed into it.
- Reopen the roster and verify the character before starting another unlock quest.Expected: The visible roster state is the completion signal.
Verify the roster, not the clue
Success signal
A character is unlocked only when the roster or selection screen shows it. The current evidence confirms Saitama, the yellow variant, the city/CEO-cutout branch and the input branch; it does not provide a complete location list for every secret.
If the unlock does not appear
If it fails
Check the area prerequisite first, then repeat only the final action. For the city route, confirm all five cutouts and the phone mark; for the gym route, confirm the full exercise count; for the input route, confirm the current version and both keys.
Version and uncertainty boundary
Source note
The input code and character roster are version-sensitive. This page publishes confirmed conditions and names open questions explicitly; it does not copy competitor navigation or pretend that an incomplete clue is a full location guide.
Quick FAQ
Is the full secret-character list confirmed?
No. Several branches are documented, but some locations and newer character details remain incomplete. This page marks those as open questions instead of filling the gap with a copied rumor.
Does the input code depend on version?
Yes. The current packet uses Left Control plus Backspace for version 0.80 and later; older single-key instructions belong to an earlier boundary.
What is the fastest confirmed unlock?
The gym route is the most explicit: open the gym, complete the three exercise counts, then verify the roster. City and Dark Knight routes have extra area or clue dependencies.
How to use this route
- Start at the summary: identify the prerequisite that makes the hidden character branch available.
- Follow the sequence: complete the prerequisite, trigger the unlock and verify the new selection.
- Use the decision points: compare the current unlock state with the requirements table before retrying.
- Recover locally: repeat the named prerequisite rather than resetting every progression step.
- Respect the build boundary: recheck hidden-character requirements after patches.
