Comic Book (1 / 29)

This collectible can be found in the first section of the game. You’re chasing some low-life criminal through a casino zeppelin (I think). As you progress, you’ll reach a large room with a giant roulette wheel in the centre. There’ll be several enemies to take out.

Grab the key, open the door and go through the warp pipe that is in there.

Once you’re through, the schematic is on the table in front of you.

Schematic

In the room with the last schematic, keep circling the rooms and you’ll find a safe. To the room that’s on the right of the safe is a key for Cabin IX on a table, grab that. Then you need to head back out the way you originally came back into the kitchen where you grabbed the Storage Room Key. Go to the door to the right of where you grabbed the key and head through. The door to Cabin IX will be on your left. Go through and drop through the whole in the floor, after climbing through the vent, to grab the Captain’s Key.

Head out the door of the room you’re in and head to the left out of the double doors. Head right and up the stairs. Double back on yourself and head forward, going up the stairs that are on the left wall. At the top take a left and you’ll spot the corridor that leads to the Captain’s Cabin. In there is a safe on your left with the schematics in it.

The safe is one of limited moves and a time limit. Here’s the solution below, if you make a mistake and the safe gets jammed, you’ll need to reload your last save to try again. Note you may have to pick up any items that were collected since the last save to make sure they aren’t missed.

Take the back left exit out of the Technicolor Studio (not the one shown above) and you’ll enter a studio recreation of your own P.I. Office. The Newspaper is on the desk (and is a clue).

Schematic

From “your office”, head into the bathroom and crawl through the vent into the area. You’ll land in some water and then be attacked by enemies. Take out the enemies and look to your right where two enemies burst out. The schematic is in there on a wall.

Baseball Card (35 / 41)

A fair while later, after the Judge Fatale boss fight, you’ll return to the Technicolor studio and need to head through the door we saw previously. You’ll fight a few enemies in the big space and a door to the back right will open up. Head down and defeat the enemies in there. The floor will then flood with water. From where you enter the room, head to the right to the back room, the Baseball Card is sat on the bottom shelf of the open fridge door (make sure you don’t drown).

Schematic

You’ll enter a long room with lots of bookcases. Head to the back of this area and look for a vent to crawl through. In here you’ll spot a safe with a schematic in it.

The safe has a limited number of moves and a time limit. Here’s the solution below, you’ll need to reload a save if you make a mistake and it gets jammed.

Schematic

After defeating Reginald in the boss fight, you’ll need to enter a warp pipe to carry on. It will take you into a control room with lots of monitors. The schematic is on the right on a table.

Unlock the Numbered Door

Near the start of the level in the underground section, if you go to the left you should come across a locked room and a number of handles. You need to enter the right code and hit the button next to the door to open it. The code is 451 and you get that number right at the end of the level before taking the elevator out.

Investigation Clue – Von Harzer Letter

In the room where the objective marker takes you, before you blow the hole in the floor, on a desk is the clue. You should unlock the “Burden of Blue Betty” achievement.

Schematic

You’ll enter the bottom floor of the main building that has multiple floors. It’s flooded at the bottom and you’ll have to shoot targets to lower wall run boards to get you around. Complete the circle nearly and do the third wall run, then jump in the water.

Underneath the bridge you landed on after the wall run is a secret underwater passage. Swim up the other side to take you inside the central pillar. Follow the path round, defeating any enemies, and you’ll spot the schematics on a pile of crates.

Schematic

You’ll enter a room with a brain in the centre of the room. To the right on a whiteboad is the schematic, in the corner.

Schematic

As you progress, you’ll interact with Millie when she talks about a talking gun, and it being a load of fun! To the left of her a little back from the entrance is a warp pipe with the number 1 on it. Jump in and a double gate will open on your right as you walk forward. Head in, taking out any enemies. Climb the ladder and over the crates and the schematic is at the end of the corridor on a crate.

Side Job – Behind the Nuts – Photo of Gloria

Return back to where you were through the warp pipe (it’ll say 2 on it on your way back). Head forward into the central platform, and on your left you’ll see a piano. Play C, A, G, E on the piano (the prompt will tell you which key you’re playing. This will lower a walkway, cross over and head forward. You’ll eventually arrive at Gloria in a cage, snap her pic. Be sure to return to Tammy when you get back to P.I. Office.

Baseball Card (37 / 41)

After the objective changes to “Talk to Millie One More Time”, this is after the room with the eyes in the ceiling, a pipe will open up to the left of the corridor (across from the typewriter). Head in and the gates to your left will open. Head forward, taking out the enemies. Look up and jump to the platform above to continue forward, jumping into the warp pipe above at the end of the corridor. Once through the pipe, carry on forward and go to the end of the corridor, the Baseball Card is on a shelf in a cabinet.

Schematic

After speaking with Millie, you’ll need to enter the elevator in the centre of the room. As you open the gate by shooting the target, walk through until you walk out onto a balcony, take out any enemies, then double jump across to the roof of the central building. You’ll see a safe at the top. The schematic is in there.

The safe is one of those pesky movement limited ones, with a timer. The solution is below. Don’t forget to reload your last save if you make a mistake and jam it.

The Unknown

You’ll go straight here after Curdsville Nuthouse, so no returning to P.I. Offices yet.

Schematic

When you enter the street of The Unknown, you’ll need to jump on a trampoline and wall run a board to get to the roof of a building. Go to the left and stay to the right of the magician’s water tank and you’ll see the schematic on a crate.

Comic Book (23 / 29)

From the roof you’re on, go up the big slope in the middle onto the road above. Take out the enemies and head forward, staying to the left, go up the narrow alleyway on the left and you’ll see the comic book say on a stool.

Schematic

After going into a big pipe, you’ll be told to activate the train track in a hall with a large staircase on the left and right. Head up the staircase lefthand and turn left, the schematic is sat on a crate.

Schematic

When you realise you’re in Hell, you’ll move forward and before doing the wall-run and taking the grappling hook straight in front of you, look to the right slightly and spot another one. Take that and you’ll find the schematic in a safe.

The safe is a timed one with a limited number of moves. Here’s the solution below, don’t forget to reload your last save if you fail and jam the safe.

Newspaper (32 / 38)

Once you’ve jumped across the way you were meant to, you’ll enter an indoor cave with a bar in the centre. The newspaper is on the counter (after you’ve taken out the enemies).

Secret Collectible – Figurine (6 / 10)

Jump to the other side of the bar to find the Figurine on a shelf near the floor.

Schematic

Much later, you’ll enter a room with lots of cogs and clockwork items, Jack will make a comment about “Gear of…what?”. Once you’ve activated the platforms to turn and you can make your way up, you’ll enter a space with a typewriter straight in front of you on a crate. Turn left and head forward. You’ll need to jump through the cogs and onto the trampolines to cross to where the schematic is.
