Emotional Baggage Locations in Bob’s Bottles: Psychonauts 2

Bob’s Bottles is one of the larger and more open-ended mental worlds you explore in Psychonauts 2, and as such, it features a host of Emotional Baggage collectibles. You will enter this level after reintegrating Ford’s Fractured Mind. The level features a central hub from where you can access other sub-levels, much like in PSI King’s Sensorium. 

Bob’s Bottles features all five pieces of Emotional Baggage that Psychonauts 2 has to offer. Some can be found on the islands within the initial sea section that players explore on a Psycho-Portal boat. Others are housed in the sub-levels contained within the oversized glass bottles that surface and beach on the islands. Moreover, all of these can be collected on your first playthrough of the mental world. Therefore, in this Psychonauts 2 guide, we will go through the location of every Emotional Baggage collectible in the booze-filled world of Bob’s Bottles!

Emotional Baggage Locations in Bob’s Bottles

The Duffle Bag

This is the first piece of Emotional Baggage that you will come across in the level. You will find it in the Tia’s Kitchen area after entering the first red glass bottle. This area features platforming sections overrun with alcohol and swinging Bob heads. The tag lies in the second platforming section, where you come across a trampoline net and some drinking straws. Use the trampoline net to jump onto a particularly tall straw. Climb to the top, and jump onto the large rock to the left. From here, jump onto the platform with a fridge on it. The tag will be behind it.

The bag is also in the same area. Backtrack slightly to the trampoline net. On the side opposite to the drinking straw will be two wooden platforms connected by a rope. Jump onto the platform on the right to reach the Duffle Bag.

The Purse

To find The Purse collectible and its tag in Tia’s Kitchen area:

1. Progress through the platforming section filled with stained glass pieces.
2. Jump across two cocktail sticks and land on a wooden platform in front of a vine trapeze.
3. Instead of swinging forward, look below for a lily pad and jump onto it, then onto the one on its right to find The Purse tag.
4. Quickly jump onto the bouncy bush in front to return to safety.

To find The Purse itself:

1. Swing on the vine trapeze in the stained glass platforming section.
2. Instead of entering the kitchen ahead, swing a little higher and jump onto the vines above the entrance.
3. Climb onto the platform to the left to secure The Purse.

The Hat Box

The next Emotional Baggage collectible in Bob’s Bottles will be the Hat Box. You can find this once you return to the open sea section of the level. Go to the island where Lili Zanotto is. You can find this island to the left of the docking station of the island where the first red bottle appears. After landing here, go to the left end. You will spot the Hat Box tag here next to two seagulls.

The Hat Box is also on the same island. This time, however, proceed right and go past the exploding cactus. The path will lead to another smaller island where the Hat Box will be sitting next to a palm tree.

The Steamer Trunk

The Steamer Trunk and its tag can also be found in the free-roam sea section.

1. Head to the island with yellow flowers.
2. Follow the yellow petals in the water from the central island where Bob is located, if the third blue glass bottle has appeared.
3. Dock your Psycho-Portal boat and cross the wooden bridge to the right.
4. Locate the tag next to a large rock covered in yellow flowers.

To find the Steamer Trunk:

1. Look for the island where Truman Zanotto is standing.
2. If needed, take the boat from Bob’s central island, make a 180-degree turn on the left side, and it should be the first island you encounter.
3. Alternatively, follow the yellow petals from the central island water if the third glass bottle has surfaced.
4. Dock on the island and spot elevated wooden walkways on the right.
5. Follow these walkways to the last platform, where the Steamer Trunk awaits.

The Suitcase

To find the last Emotional Baggage collectible in Bob’s Bottles:

1. Proceed to the Viking Reception area after entering the third blue bottle.
2. Swing across a trapeze and locate two cake slice towers.
3. Wall jump off these towers to reach the top.
4. Get on top of the right cake tower with the red slice.
5. Walk onto the blue wave-shaped platform and climb the drinking straw to reach the red cake slice.
6. Use the Levitation Ball to reach another cake on the opposite side of the chasm.
7. Roll over the edge and hold down jump for maximum distance.
8. Utilize the Levitation Balloon to float at the end and reach the cake.
9. Snag the Suitcase tag between the candles.

Thankfully, the Suitcase is fairly easy to find. Return to the top of the cake tower slices, and proceed ahead to the wedding reception area with the dining tables. The Suitcase will be on the left side of the stage next to a tree.
