Players can choose many beloved characters to control inScott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, from the titular character to the misanthropic Kim Pine. But the options aren’t limited to the five available from the get-go, and getting Knives Chau, Scott’s high-school aged ex-girlfriend, is an easy affair - especially for PC players.
Unlocking Knives
All that unlocking Knives requires is linking the game to an existing Ubisoft account. SinceScott Pilgrim vs. The Worldis only available through Ubisoft’s store on the PC, Knives is unlocked immediately after loading the game. The process is only slightly more complicated for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One players.

For console players, on the Main Menu, there will be a Ubisoft Connect option. Selecting this will bring up a prompt to either log into an existing account or create a new one. Select whichever option applies, and players will be brought to the UPlay store. Simply exit out of that screen, return to the game, and Knives will be unlocked. There are no other ways to unlock Knives.
How She Plays
In the original release of the game, Knives was simply utilized as a support character, with different uses for each of the other members of the cast. This is still a mechanic in the current iteration. Playerscan spend Gut Pointsto summon her as a striker.
As a playable character, Knives fields an arsenal of powerful, quick-hitting close-range attacks. She can perform a spin kick similar to Scott’s crowd-clearing maneuver. She also has the ability to throw explosive knives that deal large amounts of damage. Players can summon Knives' mom, Mrs. Chau, as a striker. Mrs. Chau assails enemies witha string of profanitiesin Chinese, causing an enemy to flee from the arena.
To cap off the Chau family’s appearance inScott Pilgrim vs. The World,Knives' father, Mr. Chau, is a hidden boss that spawns randomly on the world map. Like Knives, Mr. Chau’s attacks are oriented around speed, using a sword as his primary weapon. Beating Mr. Chau can unlock Mrs. Chau as a random striker forany of the game’s characters.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Gameis available for PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, and Xbox One.
