How to unlock gadgets in Psychonauts 2
To unlock both gadgets, you have to reach the Quarry in the game’s story. You have to go straight to Otto’s lab after leaving Motherlobe which is across the lake. There are two ways to cross the lake, either by rowboat or by looking at the signs to take the sidewalk. Then a series of platforms will rise from the lake which will help you in crossing the lake.
The next step is to enter Otto’s lab and have a conversation with the scientist. You’ll be given a couple of conversation options. If you choose the option in which Raz asks if he can borrow any gadget or not then Otto will give you the Thought Tuner and Otto Shot. After achieving that you’ve now successfully unlocked the photo mode and a neat thought traversal gadget.
