Poppy Playtime: Chapter 2 Trophy Guide

Unlock Details

Find and play all seven VHS tapes throughout Poppy Playtime: Chapter 2. Each tape has a corresponding VHS player and television located nearby. You must collect the tape and insert it into its player for it to count. All seven tapes must be played during a single playthrough. Since there's no Chapter Select, missing one can force you to replay the entire chapter. The tapes are spread across the main story route, with several hidden near important puzzles and trophy collectibles. All 7 VHS Tape Locations: 1. Elliot Ludwig Biography — Elliot Ludwig's Office Near the beginning of the chapter, retrieve the key to Elliot Ludwig's Office from the area reached through the corridor on the right. Return to the office and unlock the door. Inside, look at the desk directly ahead. The Elliot Ludwig Biography VHS tape is sitting on the desk alongside the Experiment 814 lore paper and Daisy trophy collectible. Pick up the tape. The matching VHS player and television are in the corner of the office near the entrance door. Insert the tape and play the recording before leaving. 2. Green Hand Tutorial — Molding Room After your first encounter with Mommy Long Legs, continue until you reach the Game Station. Activate the lever to open the route toward Musical Memory. Before reaching the minigame, you'll enter the Molding Room, where you must manufacture a replacement green GrabPack hand. Look at the main control console used to operate the production machinery. The Green Hand Tutorial VHS tape is sitting on this console. Pick it up and continue toward the end of the production line, where you'll obtain your new green hand. The matching VHS player and television are positioned near the area where you collect the hand and use the electrical connection. Insert the tape before leaving the Molding Room. You can also collect the Green Hand trophy collectible from the middle production machine in this area. 3. Security Camera: Rich — Storage Facility After completing Musical Memory, progress through the ventilation tunnels until you drop into the Storage Facility. This large room contains storage shelves, packages, and an electric crane used to move a giant Bron dinosaur toy off an elevator. Search the aisles for a section blocked by fallen ladders. The Security Camera: Rich VHS tape is resting on one of these ladders. Pick up the tape, then head toward the elevated platform where the giant Bron toy is positioned on the elevator. The matching VHS player and television are located on this platform. Insert the tape and play it before leaving the Storage Facility. While you're here, you can also collect the Bunzo Bunny trophy collectible and unlock The Scariest Dinosaur by listening to all of Bron's jokes. 4. Marcas Brickley Reprimanding (Potential Problem) — Cart Corridors After completing Whack-A-Wuggy, continue through the factory corridors until you encounter a metal shutter blocking your path. As you approach, Kissy Missy will appear on the opposite side and activate a lever to open the shutter. Continue forward until you reach the puzzle involving Barry the cart. You'll need to move Barry through the corridors using electrical connections and levers, eventually guiding the cart toward a wooden barricade. During the final section of this puzzle, before Barry crashes through the barricade, look along the main path for the VHS tape. It's positioned directly along your route. Pick it up and use the matching VHS player and television located immediately beside it. Play the tape before completing the cart puzzle and moving on. 5. Jimmy Roth Interview — Water Treatment After escaping the Statues challenge, continue until you reach the Water Treatment area. You'll recognize this room by the pool of water and two mechanical bridges controlled by red buttons. From the platform containing the bridge controls, look across the pool toward the opposite side. The Jimmy Roth Interview VHS tape is located on the far side of the water. Use the bridges to reach the tape and collect it. The matching VHS player and television are located to the right of the small staircase leading up to the platform with the red bridge-control buttons. Return to the player and insert the tape. Don't forget to collect the Transfer Request lore paper located to the left of the control buttons while you're here. 6. PSA 'Big Spider' — Water Treatment Electrical Puzzle After completing the mechanical bridge puzzle in Water Treatment, continue through the ventilation system until you reach another room containing electrical connections and power pylons. You'll need to solve a power-routing puzzle to unlock the next door. During the first part of the puzzle, use your powered GrabPack hand to wrap the electrical connection around two pylons. Doing so opens a metal cage containing another electrical connection. Inside this newly opened cage, you'll find the PSA 'Big Spider' VHS tape. Pick it up before continuing. The matching VHS player and television are located farther along the electrical puzzle route. Find the player and insert the tape before dropping through the hole that leads to the next section. 7. Log 08502 — Bay 09 After defeating Mommy Long Legs in the grinder, a mechanical claw will retrieve part of her body. Once the nearby door opens, continue into Bay 09. You'll reach a series of stairs and platforms that you must climb to progress toward the final part of the chapter. As you ascend, watch the floor along the main route. The Log 08502 VHS tape is lying on the ground beside its matching VHS player and television. Pick up the tape and insert it into the player. If you've played all six previous tapes during the same playthrough, Avid Listener will unlock after you play this final recording.

Tip

The sixth VHS tape is particularly important. Collect it from the opened electrical cage and play it before dropping into the next area. This is one of the easier recordings to miss while concentrating on solving the puzzle.

Warning

All seven VHS tapes must be played during one playthrough. Missing a recording means you'll need another run to complete the full set. Most areas cannot be revisited once you've progressed beyond them.

Collect all seven lore papers scattered throughout Poppy Playtime: Chapter 2. All seven documents must be collected during a single playthrough. There is no Chapter Select, and most areas become inaccessible once you leave them. The documents are spread across the factory, from Elliot Ludwig's Office near the beginning to the Game Station control room near the end. Follow these locations in story order to collect every document without missing one. All 7 Lore Paper Locations: 1. Experiment 814 — Elliot Ludwig's Office Near the beginning of the chapter, follow the corridor to the right until you reach an area where you must retrieve a key to Elliot Ludwig's Office. Once you have the key, return to the locked office and open the door. Inside, examine the desk directly ahead. The Experiment 814 document is sitting on the desk underneath a VHS tape. Pick it up before leaving the office. You'll also find the Daisy trophy collectible and the first VHS tape here, making this an excellent opportunity to collect three items at once. 2. Assessment Form (S. Abell) — Statues Control Room Progress through the story until you reach Statues, the third Game Station challenge. After escaping PJ Pug-A-Pillar, you'll use your GrabPack to swing through a window into a control room overlooking the challenge area. Once inside, search the room for the Assessment Form (S. Abell). Pick it up before continuing. 3. Assessment Form (M. Lata) — Statues Control Room This document is located in the same control room as the previous lore paper. After collecting the Assessment Form (S. Abell), search the room for the Assessment Form (M. Lata) and pick it up. Both documents are available immediately after escaping the Statues challenge. Make sure you've collected both before dropping through the hole in the floor to continue the story. 4. Transfer Request — Water Treatment After leaving the Statues control room, continue through the tunnels and stairways until you reach the Water Treatment area. You'll enter a large room containing a pool of water and two mechanical bridges controlled by red buttons. Approach the platform containing the two red control buttons. The Transfer Request document is located to the left of these buttons. Pick it up before solving the bridge puzzle and leaving the area. The fifth VHS tape, Jimmy Roth Interview, is also located in Water Treatment, on the opposite side of the pool. 5. Warrenbach Construction — Emergency Exit During the first Hide and Seek sequence with Mommy Long Legs, you'll eventually escape through a conveyor belt inside a vent. Follow the conveyor until you drop into a room containing an emergency exit door. The Warrenbach Construction document is lying beside this door. Pick it up before continuing. If you miss it during this first visit, you'll have another opportunity when you return to the emergency exit later in the story. After escaping the furnace section, you'll travel through sewer tunnels and swing across a gap before dropping back into the emergency exit area. Collect the document before activating the exit and leaving. 6. Formal Request Form — Game Station Control Room After defeating Mommy Long Legs, continue through the factory and climb the stairs leading back toward the upper section of the Game Station. Follow the available path until you reach the control room where Poppy is trapped in a web. Inside this room, examine the control panel. The Formal Request Form is sitting on the panel alongside the final lore document. Pick it up before continuing toward the train. 7. Employee Instructions — Game Station Control Room The final lore paper is located in the same control room as the Formal Request Form. While standing near the control panel where Poppy is trapped, collect the Employee Instructions document. Once you've picked up all seven lore papers during the same playthrough, Avid Reader will unlock.

Tip

The Statues control room and final Game Station control room each contain two documents. Check both rooms carefully before leaving, since collecting both papers together can prevent an unnecessary replay.

Warning

All seven lore papers must be collected in one playthrough. They do not count as a completed set across multiple runs. Missing even one means you'll need to start another playthrough and collect the entire set again.

Find and pick up the Barry Cart trophy collectible inside the Water Treatment area's toy production room. After completing Statues, you'll eventually reach Water Treatment, where two mechanical bridges can be repositioned using red control buttons. As part of the main puzzle, you'll need to cross these bridges and enter a room containing an elevator and a production line manufacturing Bunzo Bunny dolls. Inside this room, you'll operate the machinery to obtain a Bunzo Bunny doll needed to unlock the next door. While exploring the production area, look toward the upper conveyor belts running through the room. The Barry Cart trophy collectible is sitting on one of these elevated conveyor belts. Use your GrabPack to reach and retrieve the collectible before leaving the room. Once you've picked it up, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

You can earn this trophy while working toward Abridged, which requires completing the Water Treatment bridge puzzle in eight moves. Grab Barry Cart while obtaining the Bunzo Bunny doll so you can complete both objectives during the same visit.

Warning

Collect Barry Cart before returning to the bridge controls and finishing the Water Treatment puzzle. Once you leave the area, you won't be able to return during that playthrough.

Find and pick up the Bunzo Bunny trophy collectible inside the Storage Facility. After completing Musical Memory, continue through the ventilation tunnels until you drop into a large storage room filled with shelving units, packages, and an overhead electric crane. This is the same room where you must use the crane to move a giant Bron dinosaur toy off an elevator to progress. Before completing that puzzle, search the area near the crane. Look for a pile of packages stacked in the middle of one of the aisles. The Bunzo Bunny collectible is sitting on top of this pile. You won't need to climb the packages yourself. Instead, operate the electric crane and position it above the collectible. Use the crane to grab the Bunzo Bunny trophy, then move it away from the stack and drop it somewhere accessible. Head over to the dropped collectible and pick it up to unlock the trophy.

Tip

While exploring the Storage Facility, grab the Security Camera: Rich VHS tape from the fallen ladders and repeatedly activate Bron's cardboard cutout to earn The Scariest Dinosaur. You can finish three trophy-related objectives before leaving this room.

Warning

Don't complete the elevator puzzle and leave the Storage Facility without collecting Bunzo Bunny. There's no Chapter Select, and you won't be able to return once you've progressed beyond this area.

Unlock Details

Find and pick up the hidden Claw trophy collectible inside the Game Station. You have two opportunities to collect it: during your first visit to the Game Station or near the end of the chapter after freeing Poppy. First opportunity — Initial Game Station Visit After meeting Mommy Long Legs for the first time, enter the Game Station. Head toward the raised control platform where you'll activate the levers that open the doors to the three minigames. As you climb the stairs leading toward the controls, look upward at the surrounding railings. The Claw collectible is wedged between the railings near some spiderwebs. Position yourself on the steps and aim your GrabPack hand toward the collectible. You may need to adjust your angle a few times to reach it. Once you successfully grab the Claw collectible, the trophy will unlock. Second opportunity — Final Game Station Visit If you missed the collectible earlier, you'll have another chance after defeating Mommy Long Legs. Continue through the final sections of the chapter until you reach the Game Station control room where Poppy is trapped in a web. After freeing Poppy, look back toward the upper Game Station area. The Claw collectible can be reached from this elevated position, offering another angle to grab it. Retrieve the collectible before heading down the slide toward the train.

Tip

Try collecting Claw during your first Game Station visit. Although the angle can be awkward, getting it early means you won't need to remember it during the final stretch.

Warning

Your final opportunity is after freeing Poppy and before descending the slide to the train. Once you've left the upper Game Station area, you cannot return for the collectible.

Find and pick up the Daisy trophy collectible inside Elliot Ludwig's Office near the beginning of Chapter 2. After leaving the starting room, follow the corridor to the right and continue until you reach the area where you must swing across a gap to obtain the office key. Once you have the key, return to Elliot Ludwig's Office and unlock the door. Inside, look at the desk directly ahead. You'll find the Daisy collectible sitting alongside the Experiment 814 lore paper and the Elliot Ludwig Biography VHS tape. Pick up the Daisy collectible using your GrabPack or interact with it to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Collect all three items from the desk before leaving. The lore paper counts toward Avid Reader, while the VHS tape counts toward Avid Listener once played in the nearby player.

Warning

There's no Chapter Select, so make sure you collect Daisy before progressing beyond the office area.

Unlock Details

Find and pick up the Green Hand trophy collectible inside the Molding Room. After Mommy Long Legs steals your red GrabPack hand, you'll eventually enter a manufacturing room where you must create a replacement green hand. This room contains several large production machines and a series of controls used to operate the manufacturing process. Look toward the middle production machine. The Green Hand collectible is sitting on top of the machine, toward its back edge. You can reach it using your GrabPack hand while standing on the factory floor. Alternatively, you can get a better view while climbing the nearby steps to collect the green paint needed for the manufacturing puzzle. Grab the collectible to unlock the trophy.

Tip

The Green Hand Tutorial VHS tape is also in this room, sitting on the machinery's control console. Collect the trophy and play the tape before continuing so you make progress toward Avid Listener at the same time.

Warning

Once you leave the Molding Room and enter Musical Memory, you cannot return. Make sure you've collected the Green Hand trophy before starting the minigame.

Unlock Details

Find and pick up the Kissy Missy trophy collectible on the broken staircase shortly after leaving the Storage Facility. Once you've completed the crane puzzle and progressed beyond the Storage Facility, continue through the following electrical puzzle involving power connections and pylons. Eventually, you'll enter a room containing a colorful spiral staircase. Several sections of the staircase are damaged, with portions of the steps missing. Begin climbing the stairs and carefully examine the steps as you ascend. Approximately halfway up, you'll find the Kissy Missy collectible resting on the staircase. Pick it up to unlock the trophy. After collecting it, continue toward the top of the stairs, where you'll need to use your GrabPack to grab an overhead bar and pull yourself up to the next area.

Tip

Once you reach the top, look for the CandyCat cardboard cutout with a red button. Keep pressing the button to hear all of CandyCat's dialogue and earn Sugar Rush.

Warning

Collect Kissy Missy before using the overhead bar to leave the staircase area. Once you progress beyond this section, you won't be able to return for the collectible.

Unlock Details

Find and pick up the Mommy Long Legs trophy collectible during the first Hide and Seek sequence. After completing the Water Treatment puzzles, you'll encounter Mommy Long Legs again. She'll challenge you to Hide and Seek, forcing you to escape through another section of the factory. During this escape, you'll eventually reach a green lever that opens a door leading into a conveyor belt tunnel. Pull the lever, enter the newly opened passage, and follow the moving conveyor belt. The tunnel will carry you around a corner toward a hole in the floor that drops into the next room. Before falling through the hole, look beyond it. The Mommy Long Legs trophy collectible is positioned on the opposite side of the opening, farther along the conveyor tunnel. Use your GrabPack to retrieve the collectible before dropping down. Once you've picked it up, the trophy will unlock. Afterward, you can continue through the hole and proceed with the story.

Tip

Keep your attention on the tunnel ahead as you approach the drop. The collectible is easy to miss because the conveyor naturally carries you toward the next area.

Warning

This collectible sits immediately before a point of no return. If you fall through the hole without grabbing it, you cannot climb back up and will need another playthrough to collect it.

Unlock Details

Find and pick up the PJ Pug-A-Pillar trophy collectible during the Statues minigame, the third challenge inside the Game Station. During Statues, you'll need to escape PJ Pug-A-Pillar by moving through the room while the lights are off and the music is playing. Whenever the lights turn on and the music stops, you must remain completely still to avoid being caught. Partway through the challenge, you'll reach three tunnels positioned side by side. They're labeled Easy, Medium, and Hard, from left to right. Enter the Hard tunnel on the right. The PJ Pug-A-Pillar trophy collectible is hidden inside this tunnel. Move through it carefully, following the same movement rules as the rest of the minigame, and pick up the collectible when you reach it. Once you've collected it, continue through the challenge and escape into the control room to finish Statues.

Tip

The Hard tunnel is longer than the other routes, so make the most of every opportunity to move while the lights are off. You only need to collect the trophy once, so there's no reason to choose the harder tunnel on future speedrun attempts.

Warning

Choosing the Easy or Medium tunnel means missing this collectible. There's no Chapter Select, so you'll need another playthrough if you finish Statues without picking it up.

Unlock Details

Find and pick up the hidden Train trophy collectible inside the Game Station. After encountering Mommy Long Legs for the first time, continue through the factory until you enter the large Game Station room. As you enter, look toward the playground equipment on the left side of the room. Among the playground structures, you'll find several colorful tubes designed for children to crawl through. Search inside these play tubes to locate the Train collectible. Once you spot it, use your GrabPack hand to retrieve it and unlock the trophy.

Tip

You can grab this collectible during your first visit to the Game Station. Getting it immediately means you won't have to remember it while returning between minigames.

Warning

Although you'll revisit the Game Station several times, you won't always have access to the playground area. Collect the Train trophy before descending the stairs toward the Statues challenge, as progressing beyond that point removes your opportunity to return.
