~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[4.3] MAIN CAMPGROUNDS & PARKING LOT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Psi Cards: 18
Challenge Markers: 1
Scavenger Hunt: 3*
* One of the scavenger hunt items is inside the lodge, which is considered
a separate area in the game. So you will only see 2 scavenger hunt items
reported in your journal for the Main Campgrounds.
After the cutscenes, press CANCEL to stow the button Sasha gave you in your
backpack. You can now enter the main campgrounds, so do so (after paying a
one-time toll of one arrowhead). As you enter, you'll get your scavenger
hunt list. Collect any eight items and turn them in to earn four ranks.
Collect and return the other eight to earn four more ranks.
Just past the entrance, pick up a Psi Card on the other side of a gap in
the fence. You can pick up the Gold Doubloon scavenger item from a nook
underneath the south side of the lodge. There's also a Psi Card under the
ramp that leads up to the lodge. Go to the southeastern corner of the lodge
and look south of the speakers to find another Psi Card behind a tree. Then
climb the pole to the southeastern speaker platform.
Get the Psi Card from the platform, then walk the tightrope to the
northeastern speaker platform, picking up a Psi Card on the way. Get
another Psi Card from the other platform, jump over to the roof of the
lodge and get the Challenge Marker from the peak. Down the other side of
the roof is a small platform with another Psi Card and a tightrope. Turn
around and face east and double-jump to the brown wood sub-roof. Walk under
the green roof for another Psi Card. Jump down and head for the
southwestern speaker platform to get your eighth Psi Card.
From the platform, look down on the west side to see a chain of rocks
leading up to a piece of broken bridge. Jump down to these rocks and jump
your way to the bridge. Just past the bridge is another Psi Card, then use
the trapeze at the end of the bridge to swing across to another platform.
Here you'll get another Psi Card and the Eagle Claw scavenger hunt item.
Walk the tightrope to the large entrance sign at the front of the parking
lot and get another Psi Card. There are five more Psi Cards in the parking
area, but one--on top of the big stump in the center of the lot--is only
accessible after you have Levitation. Go ahead and pick up the one sitting
on the log at the front of a parking space, the one on top of the Jeep
(double-jump from the wood post behind the Jeep), the one on top of the
basketball goal (double-jump from the yellow rock) and the one in the
outhouse. Then head up the path back toward the main lodge.
Along the way, pick up a Psi Card from a rock beside the path. You should
now have at least 27 Psi Cards, enough for three Challenge Markers (and
three ranks). If you don't have at least 30 arrowheads, dig around until
you have at least 30.
Head up to the main lodge and enter. Inside the lodge, jump on the frame
over the main door, then jump to the awning over Ford Cruller's shop, then
up to the rafters. Jump across the rafters to collect a scavenger hunt
item: the Voodoo Doll. Drop down and go shopping at the camp shop by
talking to the cook. Buy three Psi Cores.
Leave the lodge and find the big hollow stump near the ramp leading up to
the main lodge. Jump inside. Welcome to the Whispering Rocket Rapid Transit
system. You can only go places you've already visited, so your choices now
are limited to the Kid's Cabins, the parking lot or Ford Cruller's secret
sanctuary. Head for Cruller's sanctuary.
Once you've talked to Cruller and received your bacon--a very useful device
with which you can communicate with Cruller at any time--drop to the bottom
of the area and make yourself three Challenge Markers with the Psi Cores
you bought and the Psi Cards you have collected. There are also two Psi
Cards in the lab--one on the floor level and another on a platform near the
top of the lab above the Rapid Transit stump.
If you were diligent in collecting figments and sorting baggage in Basic
Braining, you should reach rank 10 and earn a new Psi Power. Jump to the
top platform and speak to Cruller to receive Pyrokinesis. After your
training, jump back into the hollow stump in the lab and return to the main
campground.
To the east of the lodge, at ground level, head north to enter the GPC &
Wilderness area. We'll explore this area in greater detail later; for now,
we're just interested in moving on to Sasha Nein's secret lab.
