Not only does it have every collectible, but Bob's Bottles is significantly more open than other levels, and has boat sections that let you explore freely. Because of this, we might have to use landmarks to describe where you need to go. Bear with us!
Figments In Bob's Bottles
Unfortunately, figments are incredibly hard to keep track of in Psychonauts 2, as they’re essentially the game’s version of coins or rings, with some levels having more than 200 of them. Psychonauts 2 also won’t tell you where you’ve found items after you’ve picked them up, so Figments can be very hard to clear if you don’t know where you’re looking. Thankfully, each level does have a figment list you can access at any time. It won’t tell you where the figments are, but it might point you to where in the world you’re missing a few collectibles based on the design. Here’s the full list for Bob's Bottles.
Emotional Baggage In Bob's Bottles
Emotional baggage are arguably the biggest collectible in Psychonauts 2. There are five different types you can find in each level, although not every level will have all of them. You’ll be able to spot Emotional Baggage as you’ll hear them crying and Raz will often comment that there’s one nearby. To collect the baggage, you’ll also need to find the tag elsewhere in the level.

The Steamer Trunk Tag can be found on the final island with the blue bottle. It's sat on the sand near some rocks.

Memory Vault 2
The second Memory Vault can be found in the final bottle, in the area called Bog of the Betrothed. Once you're in this area, immediately go to the right across the lillipads and you'll see a straw rail leading to a secret area. Go here and move down the table until you find a room with the Memory Vault.
Half-A-Minds In Bob's Bottles
Half-A-Minds are a new collectible in Psychonauts 2. As the name suggests, they are one mind split into two, and finding two separate pieces will give you one extra brain’s worth of health.
Half-A-Mind 1
The first Half-A-Mind can be found during the wedding cake section of the level. When you're near the reception area where enemies attack, you'll see a pirate ship. Get up there using Mental Connection and Levitation Ball, and you'll see the Half-A-Mind sat on top of the ship.

Nugget Of Wisdom 1
After going in the red bottle on the first island, you'll eventually meet Bulb Bob. Get through the first section of platforming, past the lime, and you'll see him swinging around again. To the left, you'll see a large rectangular structure, which is where you want to end up. Jump onto the straw, jump off of it towards the platform with the fridge. You can then go left to find the Nugget.
Nugget Of Wisdom 2
The second Nugget can be found in the third bottle of the world, in the Bog of the Betrothed. Once you've gone reached this area, immediately go right across the lillipads. The Nugget will be on a platform just ahead of the straw rail.
