Your first target is Larry Pinkstock in High on Life 2, the billionaire who decided to enjoy his cruise ship on the Pinkline Harbor, but he does not know what is waiting for him.
Little does he realize, the events of this cruise will turn into a night for him to remember, or he won’t remember, or can he remember? Well, you’ll figure it out in this walkthrough.
Table of contents
Head To The Pinkline Harbor
Make your way to the train station and take the monorail in order to get to Pinkline Harbor. Interact with the monorail door, and after a brief loading screen, you will find yourself in Pinkline Harbor.
Larry Pinkstock is located on his cruise ship in the bay; however, you need to find a way to get inside, as this is only for ticket entry.
As you try to exit the station, you will be stopped by two members of the Button’s Gluttons. They seem to remember you from somewhere, but they can’t put a finger on it yet. Here you will have two choices:
- Fuck off, just let us through.
- Nope, we’re nobodies.
None of these options alters the outcome, so you might as well stick with the first one and move on. This means facing bounty hunters, your new favorite pastime.
After you take down the two opponents, more will attack, and you simply need to handle them the same way as before. You can be sure this is not the last time you will encounter them.
Visit Reptical’s Skate Shop
After you deal with the bounty hunter members, you will get a call from Reptical. He knows you are here and wants you to check out his skate shop by the beach.
Make your way there and then speak to him. He will apologize for the earlier mess and want to give you a gift. This gift is a skateboard sketch of him literally holding a sign saying sorry I shot you.
Anyhow, if you have pesos to spare, you can check out the items in his shop. All these items are to customize your skateboard and are purely cosmetic.
So if you have a taste for it, feel free to take your time and customize your skateboard.
Find A Ticket For The Cruise Ship
The real objective is figuring out how to get on the cruise ship. Lizzie hacked into the passenger logs and seems to have found something that might be useful for your situation.
Someone at the local beach bar, Pinkerbellies, was blabbing about having an extra ticket to the cruise ship. Of course, you head there straight away.
On your way to the bar, you will find the door locked, and you need to unlock it. There are two panels that you need to interact with using two lugblobs.
The first lugblob can be spotted behind a glass window that seems inaccessible. If you use Sweezy’s alternative fire and charge the attack toward the yellow seal, this will open the door, allowing you to pick up the lugblob.
To get the second lugblob, you need to use the first one on the wall with orange slime. Then skateboard up the ramp, jump over it, and double jump to reach the upper platform.
Up there, you will find your second lugblob. Now simply place both lugblobs on the panels, and this will unlock the door that leads to Pinkerbellies.
Meet Travis
At Pinkerbellies, you will find a Gatlian fish drinking his sorrows away. This is your guy with the spare ticket, so you need to mingle with him and tag along in order to befriend him, but only for that ticket.
When you sit down and speak to him, oh god, he will start talking about his marital problems. Travis explains how he spent so much money on this cruise and his wife ditched him, which is why he has that extra spare.
There is no escape, so you need to hang out with Travis and keep him happy while he yaps about his wife.
This will begin a series of mini games involving drinking and talking. You will be able to see a Happy-O-Meter that you need to fill.
Keep Travis Happy
The first mini game is Dance Dance G.R.O.O.V.E., which is basically like Dance Dance Revolution. You will get prompts that you need to press on time to keep a good score.
We did horribly, and that didn’t seem to upset Travis much, just a few comments about how terrible we are at dancing. We know. That’s fine because you drink it away with another shot.
The next game is Darts, but you are too drunk to focus, so the screen keeps moving. With no crosshair or anything, you just need to spray and pray, if you know what we mean.
Once again, we did horribly on this as well, probably worse than the dance game, and we’ve been booed and called terrible at the game, but that didn’t seem to bother Travis too much.
After that, you will go through scene after scene of taking shots and getting drunk, but at least the Happy-O-Meter is filling.
This causes the bartender to force you to stop drinking, because, let’s be honest, that’s just too much. Anyway, Travis wants you to draw him for some reason, and you get a pen, a piece of paper, and your drawing skills.
By now, you already know how we did, so we won’t even mention it. After you finish drawing, you find yourself in front of, well, the proper way to say it is, white powder, and Travis pushes you to hover over some of it.
That’s more than enough, but it still isn’t enough for Travis, and suddenly you find yourself fighting some people. After some cuts, you fall to the floor, throwing up, and end up lying next to Travis.
Was it all worth it? 100 percent, because the Happy-O-Meter is full, and Travis finally asks you to join him on the cruise.
Head To The Pinkline Panacea
After you secure the ticket, you need to make your way to where the cruise ship is. Use your ticket at the ticket booth, and oh boy, Travis did love his way a lot. It seems your ticket is VIP, so you are treated with the utmost respect, of course.
As soon as you pass the booth, you will be spotted by members of the Button’s Gluttons. They know who you are and want you dead for the pesos.
By now, you should be used to dealing with bounty hunters, so go ahead and eliminate all of them. The more you progress toward the ship, the more enemies will block your path, so they all need to die.
After you make it inside the Panacea, you will find Travis waiting for you at the security check. However, it seems the ticket includes only you, and not your Gatlians, so unfortunately you need to put them aside in the bin.
You hold Travis and go inside the ship, and oh wow, it seems worth the money. Travis is planning to make the best of it.
Once you are in the main hall, head to the other side where you will find the Pinkstock Museum. You can interact with the items inside, but what will really capture Travis’s eyes is the fedora located just behind the talking statue.
Get The Fedora For Travis
As you keep trying to keep Travis pleased, you need to find a way to get that fedora out of the box. Just to the left of the fedora display, you will find the Pinkstock Circumcision Laser.
Well, you know what this laser is meant for, so we’ll rather not say anything here. But what we can tell you is that you can use this laser to get the fedora.
However, there is a slight problem. The display in front of you is filled with framed paper bills. The laser can’t get through them, so you will need to direct it through the empty parts until it reaches the other side.
Once you’re through this, you can use the laser to break the display. You need to go and quickly grab the fedora and leave from here.
Surprisingly, this doesn’t trigger any warnings, guards, or alarms, so all is good for now. Now you’d think it’s time to go and find your friend, but not quite. Travis wants you to check out the suit shop.
Head To The Suit Shop
One more errand for Travis to keep him happy, and make your way to the Suit Shop on the upper floor. The shop owner, Thurston, will introduce himself and ask you a few questions before granting you a suit.
We went ahead and picked random answers that seemed good to use, and we don’t think it really matters, as it only changes a few dialogue options.
At the end, we got the fancy purple suit for both Travis and me, I mean the bounty hunter, no, the criminal, ah, the protagonist, well, the other guy, anyways.
Anyways, with the suit picked, you will hear the announcer informing the guests to avoid the Lido Deck and mention a “knife-related” problem. That’s right, that’s Knifey, so you need to go and check on him.
Head To The Lido Deck
Inside the Lido Deck, you will find some kids playing with Knifey. Approach them and talk to them, but of course, the teens are not easy to deal with.
They need you to prove your skateboarding skills by picking up the random letters around the Lido Deck. You will be able to spot these letters, but the only way to claim them is by passing through them while skateboarding.
After you collect all six letters and assemble the word, which is not a very nice word, head back to the teens and speak to them. They will be impressed by your skill, but you will need to do one last thing.
They will bring a lugblob and want you to launch it into the air. This can be done by using Travis’s alternative fire. Doing so will finally satisfy the teens, and you will be able to get Knifey back.
Just when you think it’s all going well, of course, you will get attacked by members of the Button’s Gluttons, and you need to defeat all of them using Travis.
After you clear the Lido Deck, head back to the main hallway. Here, you will be stopped by one of the staff, as he sees you coming out from the Lido Deck, which you knew you weren’t supposed to be in.
Thankfully, as he scans you, he will recognize that you are VIP and give you your suite key. This is where you need to go next.
Of course, there is only one bed inside the suite, as Travis was hoping to get some action going on, but oh well, he is stuck with you, so it is “best friend nap time.”
Rest up because the next thing you will be doing is attending the VIP Murder Mystery party, and you are going to kill Larry Pinkstock.
Attend The Murder Mystery Party
After you wake up from your best friend nap, you two need to dress up and make your way to the party. You will be escorted by one of the staff.
Inside the VIP room, you will find four people waiting. You can interact with them if you want, but they are so arrogant and full of themselves.
After you engage with the other VIPs in this room, Larry Pinkstock will address everyone over the announcement system.
He will then appear in person and start to explain what the party is about. It’s centered on solving the actual murder of him. The lights will go off, and you will hear a gunshot.
Solve The Mystery Murder Of Larry Pinkstock
The Murder
When the lights come back on, Pinkstock will be dead, Travis on the ground, and the four VIP members standing around. A new voice of Larry will play, but this time it’s pre-recorded.
He will explain the rules of this murder mystery and that you need to figure out who killed him. Until this investigation is complete, no one is allowed to leave the room.
You need to gather clues, investigate, and interrogate all the guests. When you are ready to solve the case, step into the middle of the room and press the big red button to announce who killed Larry Pinkstock.
Be aware, you only have one chance to announce who killed Larry Pinkstock. If you get it wrong, well, you get it wrong.
A very important disclaimer: the whole investigation process is not necessary. You can skip it entirely by going straight to the red button and picking a random person, or even choosing who cares.
This will keep progressing the events of the main story; however, you won’t be able to get the Columbo in Space trophy.
The Investigation
Pick up Travis from the floor, and you will start the investigation. The first thing you need to do is collect the evidence scattered around the room.
We assembled a table to help you find all of them:
| Clue | Location |
|---|---|
| Milk Carton | Located near the entrance in the center of the room, with spilled milk visible around it. |
| Military Service Record | Sitting behind the counter on the rear side, close to O.B. Oberon’s position. |
| Music Class Photo | Resting on a side table next to the stage where Pinkstock was killed. |
| Divorce Papers | Placed on the display shelf to the left side of the Admiral’s spot. |
| Inhaler | Hidden inside the large cake, revealed by punching a hole in it near the prince. |
| Newspaper Clipping | Lying on a small table positioned to the side near the room’s entrance. |
| Prince’s Photo | Tucked beneath the sofa in the middle area on the side with Edeline and the prince, and you can shift the sofa to grab it. |
| Military Order | Found next to the cabinet standing beside the sofa in that section of the room. |
| Stains | Discovered by examining Larry’s body, where yellow marks are visible nearby. |
| Oberon’s Check | Picked up from the right side of the counter directly behind Oberon. |
| Medical Card | Sitting on an overturned sofa near the center of the room on the side where the Admiral and Oberon stand. |
| Detention Slip | Positioned in the middle area behind the counter that holds the red button. |
| Sharpshooting Competition Trophy | Displayed on the showcase shelf to the right of the Admiral’s location. |
After you interact with all the clues, speak to all four VIP members and exhaust all their dialogue options. Make sure to check on them again, because sometimes you will get new dialogue options.
Simply make sure you have exhausted every possible dialogue option before announcing who the killer is.
The Truth Unraveled
Head to the middle of the room and interact with the red button. This will start a sequence of choices where you must pick the correct answers.
Luckily, even if you don’t know how to select the right answers, we’ve got you covered. In order, here are all the correct answers you need to pick:
- O.B. Oberon
- Because Pinkstock is responsible for her brother’s death.
- She’s wearing a rosy perfume.
- She won a shooting competition trophy.
- Nobody else could have fired the shot.
If you get everything right, O.B. Oberon will confess that she did it. But the twist: Larry Pinkstock will come down, and oh well, he is alive, and Oberon just killed his clone.
As he delivers his speech, a tentacle, or what seems like one, will pierce through Pinkstock’s body and actually kill him, just as he was bragging about still being alive. Ironic, isn’t it?
It seems that Kreg Button got to him first and claimed your bounty. Well, the objective is done. Larry Pinkstock is indeed dead, but now you’ve got Kreg on your tail.
Fight For Your Life
Things will only go south from here, and you need to fight and escape from the ship. The Button’s Gluttons will be everywhere, and you need to eliminate every single one of them while also trying to make your way out.
You will be running from one room to another, fighting for your life, but at least you will have all your Gatlians with you. Eventually, you will reach a boss fight against Tiffany at the Lido Deck, and you need to defeat her.
After you deal with her, continue your escape plan until you reach the upper deck, where Kreg will be waiting for you.
Defeat Kreg
Kreg is not the hardest to kill, as he has a few simple attacks that you can easily avoid:
- When Kreg performs a slow attack, watch the chains carefully and move into the gaps to dodge safely. Make sure to time your movement.
- If Kreg starts a charge-up attack, wait for him to close in, then perform a dodge to evade the strike.
- Finally, when Kreg is shooting bullets at you, keep skateboarding. Constantly strafing or circling around him will make it much easier to avoid damage while looking for an opening to counterattack.
After you defeat Kreg, you will collapse into the water and then wake up back at Quarters.
Mission Accomplished
Larry Pinkstock is dead, and you can cross that bounty off the board and move on to hunt your next target.
