All Motherlobe PSI Challenge Cards Locations

Before we start, keep in mind that there are 27 PSI Cards you’ll have to get in this area, but you won’t be able to do so early in the game; because, as you’ll soon find out, you need specific Badges and gadgets.

Otherwise, you can get them the moment you enter the Motherlobe the very first time.
