High On Life 2 Achievement And Trophy Guide - Chasing The Platinum

Getting every single achievement in this game requires a high tolerance for crude humor and a borderline obsessive need to break virtual pots.

Squanch Games is back with another ridiculous shooter filled with talking guns and highly questionable moral choices. If you are playing on PC or hunting trophies on your console, you already know exactly what you signed up for. The achievement list for High On Life 2 is a chaotic mix of guaranteed story progression and highly specific, easily missed jokes that will force you into an entirely new playthrough if you blink at the wrong time. I spent an ungodly amount of hours tracking down every hidden transmission and figuring out the exact answers to a literal space tax quiz so you do not have to guess what the developers wanted from you. Here is exactly how to knock out every single unlockable and claim your 100 percent completion.

The Unmissable Story Achievements

You will get a good chunk of these just by playing the game normally and not turning off your monitor during boss fights. I highly recommend just enjoying the campaign first before stressing over the cleanup.

Broke the Code

This unlocks automatically as part of the early story progression when you officially become a wanted outlaw.

Smash That Kreg Button

Following the main questline will eventually pit you against an animal rights activist. You get this simply by defeating Kreg on the cruise ship.

Invasive Procedure

You will unlock this for assassinating Senator Muppy Doo during his mandatory boss fight.

Thats A Wrap on Character Actor Fred Melamed

The game forces you into a very weird sequence involving a magical entity. This pops once you finish the Blue Wizard section.

Dad's All, Folks

You earn this during the Wyoming cult mission when you successfully rescue your father.

So Long, and Thanks For All The Ghosts

Simply defeat the utterly ridiculous dolphin boss during its required story mission.

Trial of the Century

Beat the final boss of the game to save humanity and this will unlock.

Romanced All 34 Erotic Worm Monsters

Despite how terrifying the name sounds, this is an unmissable part of the main story progression and the related boss encounter. Do not panic about having to manually track down three dozen worms.

The Highly Missable Mission Trophies

This is where the game actively tries to screw over completionists by hiding achievements behind one-time events. If you mess these up, you are starting a new save file.

The Good Ending

At the absolute beginning of the game during the sister bounty, the game gives you a choice. Shoot her right after she surrenders to trigger an early credit roll and get the achievement. Reload your save afterward to play the actual game.

Was That A Wiener?

During Murdercon registration, you will be prompted to sign your name. Draw literally anything resembling male anatomy to unlock this.

Dunston Has Checked In

During the cruise ship mission, you need to navigate the laser maze around the money portraits flawlessly. If you touch the sides, reload your checkpoint immediately.

Columbo in Space

During the murder mystery on the ship, you must collect every clue, accuse O.B. Oberon, and answer all follow-up questions correctly.

Witness the Burning Bush

When you fight Kreg on the cruise ship, make sure you knock him off his mount and use a flint turtle to burn his legs until his pants catch fire.

All Your Vase Are Belong to Us

During the Finance Wizard mission, you must destroy every single vase belonging to Apple in the James Stevenson Dark Woods. Break all of them at every fork in the road before you reach the waterfall, because you cannot backtrack.

Why do you know all that stuff?

In the Finance Wizard mission, you must answer the Blue Wizard's six tax questions perfectly. The correct order is Top, Bottom, Bottom, Middle, Top, Middle.

#1 Scientist

During the Dr. Berkel mission, the undercover sequence gives you the chance to drink experimental solutions. Keep talking to the scientist and drink every single vial.

Starstruck

During the movie star bounty, do not shoot Bronkin. Use Gus to communicate and resolve the situation peacefully.

Kobe!

When you find yourself in the courtroom sequence, you have to score five paper throws into the hoops before the judge cuts you off.

The Collectible Grind And Exploration

You are going to spend a massive amount of time running around the hub areas looking for random garbage to interact with if you want the platinum.

Bountilogical Studies PhD

Walk into the first room of the Bounty Hunter Museum and interact with all three exhibits: Earth Welcome Gatlians, Journey of a Hero, and G3 Cartel.

Dr. Gurgula Will Return...

You need to find three hidden hologram transmissions. One is hidden behind a bookshelf in a vent during the Wyoming cult mission. The second is inside a small building behind Gessie's head in Pinkline Harbor. The final one is locked behind a Lugblob electrical puzzle in the north infected area of Circuit Arcadia.

Unwanted

You need to track down 21 posters across Circuit Arcadia, Pinkline Harbor, and the Zoo. Just slash every piece of wanted paper you see on the walls.

Throne of Games

Find all six retro game cartridges scattered around the game world. Check the Pinkline nightclub bathroom, the Krust Theatre arcade, Spencer's Shop, the Quarters arcade, the Zoo Human Exhibit, and the Comedy Club back room. Plug them all into the Quarters arcade machines.

8-Bit Warrior

Once you plug those six cartridges in from the previous achievement, a hidden final cartridge appears in your bedroom. Insert that last one into the Bounty Hunter arcade cabinet to fight a boss and unlock this.

Where's Maris?

You have to use the crane game at Lizzie's base after the Human Zoo mission and collect all seven unique pillow prizes. It is a massive pain in the ass.

Tanks for the Memories

Unlock the fishing rod at the Beach. You have to catch a fish at all eight spots across the Beach, City, and Zoo hubs to fill the aquarium in your Quarters.

Hub Challenges And Side Quests

Be prepared to master the game's movement mechanics if you want to clear these physical challenges and annoying NPC requests.

Pro Skater

You have to complete all three teen skatepark activities in the Beach, River Walk, and Zoo hubs. You do not need a perfect S rank, you just need to finish them.

Phony Hawk

This tasks you with completing three slug races in each of the three main hubs. Again, your final rank does not matter.

Fare Thee Well

Pick up the Taxi side quest in Circuit Arcadia. Intentionally fail a race so your passenger dies. Wait a while, talk to the driver again, and then dump the body in any Porta-Potty.

Nice Day With Jeppy

This achievement forces you to escort Jeppy from the Zoo gift shop without using fast travel. You have to play hide-and-seek with him at the pond, the gift shop shelves, and the café roof before taking a picture.

B.A.L.L. In The Family

You have to locate three specific B.A.L.L. characters. One is a prize from the nightclub dance minigame, one comes from the Taxi quest, and the last is caught by fishing at the Zoo aquarium spot.

Ankhs For The Memories

You have to suffer through three escape rooms in the Beach hub. Solve the mummy puzzles, grab the final Ankh, and make sure you select the Opt-In choice for the newsletter at the front desk before finishing the game to view the secret ending.
