Players will encounter a variety of puzzles as they explore the mental worlds in Psychonauts 2, and two can be found in the mind of Hollis Forsythe. More specifically, there is a puzzle in Hollis’ Classroom and another in Hollis’ Hot Streak, and both of them center around using Raz’s Mental Connection psychic power. For those fans that may be having some trouble solving the Hollis puzzles in Psychonauts 2, the solutions to both of them can be found in this guide.
Psychonauts 2: Hollis’ Classroom Puzzle Solution
Players will encounter the first of these Mental Connection puzzles in a room that is reminiscent of a church inside of Hollis’ Classroom. To solve it, fans should begin by connecting Raz to the “Risk” thought bubble, which is positioned directly next to Hollis, and then turn so that “Stress” is on their left and “Delight” is on their right. Players should now use Mental Connection in Psychonauts 2 to reach the node that is directly in front of them, and then continue along the node pathway that leads to the right.
Ultimately, this path will take players behind the stained glass window that Hollis is in front of, and there is a “Money” thought bubble in that position. Connecting the Psychonauts 2 protagonist to that idea will trigger a cutscene, wherein Hollis will indicate that she has figured out how to solve the looming money problems, and fans will know that they have completed the Classroom Mental Connection puzzle when that occurs.
Psychonauts 2: Hollis’ Hot Streak Puzzle Solution
The second of these puzzles is found in Hollis’ Hot Streak, and it is solved by connecting three sets of thought bubbles. Those connections are made by using node pathways, as was done in the Classroom puzzle, and here are details on the specific ideas that Psychonauts 2 fans must link:
- Decisions and Wisdom: After jumping into “Decisions,” players should face the other side of the casino and connect to the node that is directly in front of them. They should then angle themselves slightly to the right to discover the “Wisdom” thought bubble.
- Judgement and Quitting: Starting at the “Judgement” idea, players should turn toward the opposite side of the room and connect to the node that they see. They should then turn to the left to transfer to yet another node, and “Quitting” will then be on their right side.
- Victory and Moderation: For the final connection, players must simply attach to “Victory” and use a single node to reach the back of the large Pachinko machine, where the “Moderation” thought bubble is located.
Psychonauts 2 is available on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
