No worries, agents, because, throughout the guide below, I’ll tell you where to find and how to get all 27 Psychonauts 2 Motherlobe Challenge Cards collectibles hidden by the Double Fine Productions developers.
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.
