Selecting the correct Pin Combinations in and abilities to upgrade using Psitanium Raz collects on his journey.
The Pins in particular will give Raz small buffs and bonuses to make the game a bit easier to conquer. Although, players are only able to equip 3 Pins at a time. Not only that, but a handful of Pins require Raz to reach a certain Intern Level or PSI ability unlock. Players should focus on getting the Psifold Wallet upgrade, which allows Raz to carry more Psitanium at a time, before jumping into purchasing Pins.
Before every boss battle, players will be able to change out their Pins. Certain Pins work well against specific bosses while others can be useless during battles. Pin Combinations can go a long way in taking out these boss battles.
The Best Pins in Psychonauts 2 For Boss Battles
Since players are only able to carry 3 Pins at a time, these are the best Pins for dealing with boss battles.
- Plucky: Players will need to reach PSI Rank 26 and it will cost the player 400 Psitanium to purchase. Normally, players are only able to use their Telekinesis to throw objects in the area. With this Pin equipped, players will be able to pull objects out of the ground, even if there is nothing there. This is perfect for doing long-ranged attacks and keeping distance from bosses.
- Strike-onaut: Players will need to reach PSI Rank 48 and it will cost the player 600 Psitanium. This Pin will increase the total damage Raz can do with his physical attacks. Since this is the main method of dealing with enemies, adding more damage is going to be a good thing.
- Chain Gain: Players will need to reach PSI Rank 36 and will cost the player 500 Psitanium. This Pin acts as the other half of Strike-onaut. While that Pin focuses on increasing the damage of Raz's punches, Chain Gain will add more firepower to the Chain Brain Psi Blast attack. This can be used to deal with tons of enemies at once or do long-range damage to bosses.
Players can learn how to increase Raz's Intern Rank by collecting Emotional Baggage, Figments, Nuggets of Wisdom, PSI Challenge Cards, and PSI Cores. These are scattered around every level of the game. This is a 3D collect-a-thon and the game rewards players for finding every item in the game.
Psychonauts 2 is available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PC.
