If you wish to help Raz reach Rank 100, the moment you start the game, you’ll need to find all Psychonauts 2 Motherlobe PSI Challenge Markers.

The Psychonauts 2 Motherlobe Challenge Markers are harder to find compared to the Challenge Cards in this area, but as you’ll find out, for each Challenge Marker you collect, Raz gains one rank.

Since there are 8 PSI Challenge Markers in the Motherlobe area, it means that you’ll level up Raz eight times simply by finding these collectibles. So below I’ll tell you where to look for them.

Before moving on with the actual locations, you should be aware that not all collectibles listed below can be collected the first time you get to the Motherlobe.

In fact, only the first 4 in this guide are available early in the game, the rest of them requiring specific badges, gadgets, and upgrades, as explained.

Motherlobe PSI Challenge Marker 1

Map Location: 4 (Sasha’s Lab)

How To Get: Once you manage to escape the Storage Room, you’ll find yourself in Sasha’s Lab.

The moment you enter this area, look around, and you’ll spot the first Psychonauts 2 Motherlobe PSI Challenge Marker in Sasha’s Office on top of a cabinet.

Obviously, you can return here later if you miss it.

Motherlobe PSI Challenge Marker 5

Map Location: A (Lobby)

How To Get: The next Challenge Marker in Motherlobe is the one in the Lobby.

This one is a bit trickier to get as it is on a suspended platform between the entrances to the Agents Area and the Mailroom.

Although you can reach this platform early in the game by jumping on the yellow monitors under the platform and then gliding, this collectible is best approached after you get the Thought Scanner from Otto in the Quarry.

With this gadget, scan the area near the Classroom ramp (left side while facing the entrance) to reveal some nodes. Use the Mental Connection to get to the platform.

Motherlobe PSI Challenge Marker 6

Map Location: C (Office Of The Grand Head)

How To Get: For the Office Of The Grand Head PSI Challenge Marker, you’ll need to progress through the story, and eventually, you’ll be asked to talk to Truman.

He’ll give you his access card, which allows you to unlock the door to his office.

Inside you’ll find the sixth Motherlobe Marker, pictured below.

Motherlobe PSI Challenge Marker 7

Map Location: F (Mailroom)

How To Get: The next PSI Challenge Marker is in the Mailroom, but it requires the Projection Badge.

You’ll see it behind a locked door, but you won’t be able to unlock it without the said Badge, which is unlocked while playing Cassie’s Collection level. This is close to the end of the game.

Once you get the badge, you will be able to open this door.

The collectible is found on top of the large bowling pin at the entrance. While standing on the counter, just jump to get it.
