High On Life 2 Wiki & Trophy Guide
Welcome to our High On Life 2 Wiki, where you can find everything you need to 100% the game.
Estimated time to platinum: 15-20 Hours.
Difficulty: 3/10
Missable trophies: 13 (10 of them are chapter-specific trophies. Fare Thee Well has to be done during an open-world side quest. 2 of the collectibles for Dr. Gurgula Will Return… are found inside chapters, and Ankhs For The Memories is tied to the secret ending.)
Intro
High On Life 2 offers a fairly quick platinum if you are careful with the missables. The structure of this game will have you playing through Story Missions in areas that you can never return to (there is also no chapter select), and when not in a story mission, you will have 3 large open areas that you can revisit as many times as you like, even after finishing the game. Almost half of the trophies are missable, and most of them can only be done during specific story missions. Then the non-missable trophies can be done even after finishing the game in the 3 open world areas. You can get the platinum in a single playthrough if you are careful and follow the steps below.
Step 1. Finish The Main Story & Get All Missable Trophies.
First, play through the game on any difficulty and watch out for the following during the story bounty missions (if you miss anything, you will have to start a new playthrough):

Final Mission
Kobe! Trophy
Step 2. Collectibles.
After finishing the story with all specific bounty-related trophies, you should have a big chunk of the trophies in the game. Next up are the collectibles. Luckily, some of the more abundant collectibles, like the Lugloxes, Trading Cards & Comic pages, are not needed for trophies. So this section should not take that long. After finishing the game, you should be able to pick up everything in the 3 open world areas that you still have access to. These are the trophy-related collectibles.
All 3 B.A.L.L GUYS
All 42 Fish From Every Fishing Spot
All 6 Games
All 21 Wanted Posters
All 9 Challenges At All 3 Skateparks
9 Races (You only need to finish 3 In Each Region)
The Last Dr. Gargula’s Transmission (You should have 2/3 from the story bounties)
Step 3. Miscellaneous Cleanup.
Finally, you will have a few miscellaneous trophies that you can clear up in the open world. These are:
8-Bit Warrior
Where’s Maris
Nice Day With Jeppy
Fare Thee Well (This one is missable if you start the side quest and finish it without getting the trophy!).
