One Humble Potato

Psychonauts

Meat Circus

  • Figments (94)
  • Cobwebs (3)
  • Vaults (1)
  • Emotional Baggage

You'll find yourself outside of the gypsy wagon again, enter it to follow little Oly whom you need to protect. Your first 2 Cobwebs will be straight ahead when you enter, go out the white doorway at the end of the hall. Head right when you enter here to find a Teleport dude along with the Steamer Trunk which we don't have the tag for yet, but if we jump on top of the canopy above where we entered we can pick up this tag then grab the Trunk. From looking at the trunk look left out over the edge and you'll see the Hatbox Tag, nearby is a Confusion Grenade ammo increase.

Now, notice the guy right by the entrance to the next area in a little "ticket booth" if you will, talk to him and he'll redeem all brains, cobwebs, and Psi-Cards you may have stocked up. Now enter into the shiny glowing aura to learn about your task at hand. Protect Oly from these crazy rabbits.

On the ground down here is the Suitcase Tag. Now for what we need to do, the rabbit is running around in circles and Oly is chasing after it and crazy rabbits are chasing after Oly. Kill whatever bunnies come to harm him and run close to the rabbit then hold it up with your telekinesis until Oly grabs it. After he grabs it he will move up higher and also regain all of his health.

Now go up one of the ladders in the middle of the area and to the middle of the tight rope, to one side (depending on the ladder you chose) you will see a platform you can jump up to, then from there up to another platform with a big fat lady on it you can use as a bouncer to get up to the platform where Oly currently is. Up here is also the Hatbox. Same thing, hold up the rabbit and let Oly get it and he'll move up more.

Whoever designed this doesn't know snakes from dildos because this part really sucks. From off the edge of this meat is a swinging trapeze bone you can use to get over to some bone poles, go up 3 of them then turn around and go up some more on to some meat then straight in front of you is a knife throwing rabbit on a platform, shoot him and then jump over to the meat with the spinning wheel, now you need to jump in front of the wheel when he's about to throw a knife but get out of the way when he throws it so it sticks in the wheel and you can swing on it to get up to this next platform. Up there of course hold the rabbit so Oly can get it.

Now there are a bunch of meat patties you can travel across to another pin wheel and knife throwing rabbit, same strategy as before. From here it's tight rope to tight rope to Oly. From here up a bit higher is another knife thrower just shoot this one and go over to his platform then to the large area with a Vault containing the "The Big Top" memory, Oly is also up here and so is the Purse Tag. Head through the curtains after Oly into the...

Tunnel of Love

Looking back at the curtains you came through on the left is a Cobweb, to the right is the Suitcase, kind of behind it by a blue figment is the Purse. Now across from the entrance you entered the area is the entrance to the tunnel which is actually a big grind rail. Along the rail is the Dufflebag Tag. I can't give you much advice for the rail, it's kind of a pain, lots of jumps and it's quick, may take a few tries, but eventually you'll get through it.

At the end is a Teleport dude and the Dufflebag. Head through the curtains when you're ready.

The Butcher BOSS

Here he is, the Butcher himself. Very very large and wielding two sweet blades. You're going to want to start by running away, maybe even on your levitation ball.

He's got a few different attacks right off the bat, one he'll swing low horizontally at you, jump to avoid. Next he'll stop and do some quick chops, just keep running and you should be out of range of this, lastly he'll get up real close to you and kick which is a lot of the time followed up by the horizontal slice. He also has a regular vertical slice, this is the key attack. You can also block all attacks with your shield.

So, what we are going to do is dodge a few attacks and then when he starts walking at a "casual" pace stay in line with him at this pace, watch for him to draw his one arm back to do the vertical slice and move slightly to the side. If you successfully get out of the way he will get his knife stuck in the ground and not only will it drop out some health, but you can jump up on it and run up his arm and punch him in the head, this will knock down 1/3 of his life. If you get in close to his feet so he'll kick at you, shield then start running out in front at him he'll kick again and you will be a good distance from him now that he'll do the vertical slice almost every time. Repeat 3 times to take down the Butcher, one of the easier bosses.

Dad BOSS

Speaking of easy bosses, this will probably not be so easy as it's quick paced platforming that's not made quite perfect. Your dad will basically show you where to go so I'm not really of much assistance, but I'll give you the generic route just for kicks.

First, up the ladder, across the swinging poles, get on a knife on the pinwheel, swing to a meat patty on the left, walk across tight rope avoiding dad's juggling pins.

Next, bounce on tramp a few times up to meat patty, swing on trapeze, jump up tight ropes (keep moving left and right to avoid projectiles) then run across rope without stopping and you won't get hit.

Continuing on, across rope, dad's being more of a jerk now thankfully. Now there is a wire grate you can jump on to that wraps around with sections missing, these jumps are crappy, you'll stay on the outside the whole time, so keep that in mind, and just keep double jumping towards the next one and trying until you make it to the top; oh and avoid the fire of course.

When you get on the last one you'll have to jump to a piece of meat behind you and then use your levitation ball to jump through a fire hoop, behind it are some air bubbles signifying an air stream, use these to keep going through the hoops until you reach the meat patty dad was on.

Now you'll have to go through a series of swinging poles with meat cleavers you'll need to avoid until you get to a tight rope to get over to where your dad was. Now there is a ladder you need to get on and just hold down to travel around this most awesome ladder ever made to conclude the worst part of the game.

Woot woot, the dads met each other, hooray.

The Butcher - 2nd Encounter BOSS

Now we have the Butcher with fire cleavers and your dad's juggling skills on the sidelines.

Luckily for us the projectiles Raz's dad throws will actually aid us. The Butcher will do the same attacks as before, but you can't jump up on his blades now for obvious reasons. However, if you toss the juggling pins into the Butcher with your telekinesis skills he will fall down and you can punch him in the head to once again do 1/3 damage. That's really all there is to this fight.

Thankfully, the ends of games always drag on for ridiculous amounts of time, so here goes some more.

Two Headed Dad Monster BOSS

You have your dad's power combined with you now, so you'll notice when you start the fight you are huge and crazy psychic style. Now if you look under the dad's health bar you'll see a blue/black dude (the blue drains down), while this is blue you will be crazy big, while it's not you'll be normal. You can only deal damage while you're crazy big, this meter will empty and recharge constantly. So when you're not big all you have to do is run away and shield yourself.

The two-headed dad basically runs after you and tries to step on you, just run and shield constantly to avoid. Once the meter is full go after and mash some punches in, you can do about 1/3 damage every time you fill up. Nothing too complicated, pretty neat being psychic huge and powerful though that's for sure.
