Psychonauts 2 |OT| The Spy Who Lobed Me
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
- OT
There's no new side missions, but some of the scavenger hunt items are over there.
I started yesterday morning and I'm taking my time with it. I'm in love with it. The hub world is amazing, the characters are distinct and hilarious, the art style and music are superlative, and overall I'm just fully invested in a game like I haven't been in a long time.
Psychonauts 1 is in my Top 10 of all time but I may have to swap it out for this before all is said and done. I'm actually very glad Microsoft picked up DF here and allowed them to polish the game to this point it released here. DF and Tim had their overall vision completed and there is something wonderful about that.

My final missing one ended up being the last one you described, thanks for the tip!
And PSA for anyone else going for 100%, unfortunately a figment's shape isn't always a great clue for where it appears in a level.
Yes it's a known issue for the PC version. Fix coming soon acc to DF. I have been waiting quite impatiently for it lol.
Played Psy 1 till Milkman level and mind is kinda blown by this point. I mean there is certainly some jank and dated elements for sure but the writing is top-tier and the game just has a lot of heart and soul to it which is undeniably charming. At this point I'm ready to just watch the remaining story bits and jump into 2 though. I played it for like 5 mins just to see what the hype is about and it already looks like a work of art and a massive improvement over the original.
Spoiler for one of the last levels (do we need to spoil the names of characters you enter?)
How do you get to the upper area of the first section of Cassie's level? I can see there's a bunch of figments up there…
The giant globe/ chandelier moves a little when I walk on it, I'm wondering if I'm supposed to make it swing until it reaches up there?

There's a switch on the ground that raises the chandelier temporarily, use your newfound power on it.

A patch should hit next week, but if you have a non-WinStore version of the game, you can work around it in the meantime by using -DX11 as a launch argument.
man, fuck the duffel bag tag in the bowling level. I scoured the entire level head to toe 3 times before I gave up and looked it up. I remember catching that fucking figment above the O, making sure not to fall in and not thinking anything more of it, because I assumed it was a normal "put the collectable over the bottomless pit" thing and it turns out if you fall in you land on a building in perpendicular gravity.
Thanks! I'm glad I decided to go back to collect stuff, I missed some cool dialogue up there.
Just the final two levels to go. I'm going to get everything at this point regardless, but is there a reward for getting 100% like in the first game?
Is there not a way to rewatch cutscenes without playing through the game again? That's disappointing if you can't. I guess there's alway
To be fair there's also a pretty conspicuous platform sticking out under the "Joe's" sign that leads to that area, that's how I found it. Didn't even know you could get to it the way you described.
Losing my mind trying to find the last figment in the Sensorium. It's just a generic plant, the second figment on page 2. It could be literally anywhere and it's the last thing I need for the plat.
Just finished it. As a complete package it's absolutely GOTY material. However, I did think it dragged on a bit for my tastes. In all fairness I have other games I'm wanting to get to so some of it is on me but I kind of stopped caring about collecting everything in the later levels. I also got bored of combat and turned the extra damage on in the assists just to speed things along a touch.
Easily GOTY for me so far.
Have just reached the Quarry and everything about this game so far has that early LucasArts magic that I've missed so much. I was expecting it to be good but this has far surpassed my expectations. Its so clear that this game was a labour of love for the team at Double Fine.
I really hope this does numbers so we can continue seeing this level of imagination and creativity from the studio in the future.

It's amazing to me that if a figment is one of a kind, it doesn't show up at all on the figment tracker until you find it. After you clear a brain's story, all undiscovered figments should be listed on the tracker and grayed out so that players know what they're missing.
Open the Xbox overlay and they should be there. Win +G if I remember correctly
Love it.
Didn't click for me initially, partially due to the powers being not fixed to set triggers. I was really struggling to know which power to use for which scenario. But as soon as I decided for myself that I had my preferred allocations for each trigger, the game settled much better. Platforming can sometimes be a bit unforgiving, specifically jumping onto a rope can be less sticky than it should be. I've had more death through the fault of the game itself than I should have. But the writing and world building is wonderful.
Just finished the festival level with Jack Black . One of the best levels I've played in years.
Another thing I loved was the fact that you actually acquired things like photo mode rather than have them straight away. Just added a little extra to the sense of progression.

Just in case its near where mine was, check mouth and nose's starting area.
Thats the 2nd point of no return. Next chance to do side stuff is post game mop up. (You can't get back to the previous areas yet anyway)
Yea, having a figment radar would be great. As would just marking out the collectible count in SUB LEVELS of levels. That said, I found the last few I was missing by running through youtube videos on double speed.
Unfortunately, I think you can find that figment in a few places, maybe even one in each location? If you're talking about the one with 6. lol I used this video:

Maybe you missed the one in the woods? Near the top of the falls? [19:00] There's one on the main path of the vision shrine. [4:00] Saw one in concession stands [10:40] Right at the start of Mouth/Nose shrine [12:11] Another one further in [13:51] And right at the end at [16:30]
Woo. That was unnecessary. But fun in its own way, I guess XD.
Thank you both, it did end up being the one at the start of the Mouth/Nose portion. Made me so mad when I saw it cause I had JUST gone back and re-examined that area like an hour earlier lol. I've got the plat now.Yea, having a figment radar would be great. As would just marking out the collectible count in SUB LEVELS of levels.

Thanks guys, roughly how long would you say I have left? I think I could only squeeze in about an hour today and I'd rather see the ending in full rather than stopping half way through.
Without getting spoilery, I'll just say that the end sequence after that part went on a bit longer than I was expecting. If you want to fully explore and get as many collectibles as possible on your first run through, I'd guess at it taking longer than an hour.
One hour won't be enough. I would save at least 2~3 hours for it. Probably more, especially if you want to take your time. And yeah you should not rush the ending arc of the game, it really deserves to be taken at a slow pace.
Noted, thanks for the heads up! I think the game may be straying into "too long" territory, but I'm sure I'll be in the minority with that opinion.
Another aspect that's worse than the first game is collectibles. What I mean by that is that in the original it would tell you how many things there were to get in any single area of a level. Gave you something to narrow down when cleaning up. This game just tells you how many for the whole level, giving you no clue what kind of area you need to be searching.
Yeah, it's baffling they removed that feature when it was already in the first game. I doubt it's a priority but maybe if people ask it can be added in an update.
Now Tim Shafer must add an "Abandoned's Cospiracy level" into the first DLC. That will be cool.
Jokes aside, this game is pure genius mixed with fun and superb style.
People let themselves be deceived by the cheerful tones of the game, in reality it deals with very serious and important issues

So I'm in Green Needle Gulch now, partway through Bob's Bottles as of my last play break. Am I getting near the end of the game? I didn't exactly do everything I wanted to do yet and there's missing spaces on both the PSI Power and map screens so it looks like there's gotta be more...?
I felt like repairing Ford's brain was the midpoint of the game going in - like taking the boat to the Asylum island in the first game - but lately it's starting to feel more like that was the climax instead? Did I rush?

That makes me sad. I'm really enjoying myself and I want more. I don't usually feel this way about games but I absolutely could keep playing for like five or six more brains without getting worn out.
I hope they do DLC. I don't know how they'd do it but I hope they do.
You are getting close, yes, but assuming that Bob is the first world you've done in the Gulch, you still have some more worlds ahead of you with one being on the lengthier side.
