Cassie's Collection is one of the last big brain levels you'll complete in Psychonauts 2. In this world, you'll dive into Cassie's mind and meet her different paper iterations, as well as unlocking the final mental ability – Projection.

Projection is an ability that lets Raz create a small paper version of himself. It can help in combat, but its main purpose is to squeeze between bars and open gates. If you've been keeping up, you'll remember plenty of places in the past that you'll need to go revisit with this power.
Figments In Cassie's Collection
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 Cassie's Collection.
Emotional Baggage In Cassie's Collection
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.
Steamer Trunk
Tag:
The Steamer Trunk Tag can be found just before reaching the Marketplace. You'll hear Mrs Yi shouting about carp. Before jumping up, look to the left to see some bookmark platforms. Jump across them to reach the Steamer Trunk Tag.
Baggage:
This one can be a bit tricky if you don't know where to look. In the first room, with the librarian version of Cassie, you can make your way up to the chandelier above. When on that chandelier, use Projection to pull a switch on the ground below, just in front of some books.
This switch will cause the chandelier to move up. Once you're at the top, jump forward to a platform using the Levitation Ball, and you'll see the Steamer Trunk tag on the left.
Purse
Tag:
The Purse tag can be found in the room with the maths equations, the knight and the dragon. Just as you're leaving the room, it'll be sat on the left, and is pretty hard to miss.
Baggage:
The purse can be found in the same room as the Purse tag, the one with the maths equations, knight, and dragon. Those last two are key here, as the Purse can be found sat on the side, right next to the two of them.
Dufflebag
Tag:
The Dufflebag Tag can be found in the printing part of the level when Raz is asked to find evidence. After defeating all of the enemies at the top of the area, you'll see a locked door, which you can use Projection to open and get the Tag.
Baggage:
The Dufflebag can be found by the docks in the larger area of the level. When tasked with finding evidence, go down to the docks on the right side and you'll find the Dufflebag crying in the corner.
Hatbox
Tag:
The Hatbox tag can be found in the Cannery area when Raz is told to find evidence. It's sat right behind the ink waterfall, before the door.
Baggage:
The Hatbox is pretty hard to miss and can be found in the middle of the lake of the more open part of the level. When asked to find evidence, go to the middle of the lake, and you'll see the Hatbox sat there.
Suitcase
Tag:
The Suitcase tag can be found just before learning Projection, in the room with the books that have windmills in them. Use Mental Connection in this room and you'll get close to the big white columns. On one of these columns is the Suitcase tag.
Baggage:
The Suitcase can be found in the first room with the librarian. It's sat on top of some books in front of her.
Memory Vaults In Cassie's Collection
Memory Vaults return from the first Psychonauts and once again offer extra insight into the character whose mind you’re in. Once you find a Memory Vault, you’ll need to break it open by hitting it.
Memory Vault 1
The first Memory Vault of Cassie's Collection can be found after going through the second 2D book section of the level, after the room with the maths equations. The Memory Vault can be found right behind the book as you come back into the third dimension.
Memory Vault 2
The second Memory Vault is tricky, but can be found in the Printing section when Raz is told to collect evidence. To find it, reach the top of the printing area, climb up some books to the left, turn the corner and you'll see a paper door. Go into it to be teleported to another area of the map. Climb to the top of this area to find the second Memory Vault.
Half-A-Minds In Cassie's Collection
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 in the Children's Literature corner, before going into the book. It's behind a locked door that you'll need Projection to open.
Half-A-Mind 2
The second Half-A-Mind can be found in the Literature Lane section of the level. It's right there on the floor as you come into this area.
Nuggets Of Wisdom In Cassie's Collection
Nuggets of Wisdom are another new collectible in Psychonauts 2. Each level has a different design for them, but you’ll be able to find them by their golden glow. Collecting one will instantly increase your rank by one point.
Nugget Of Wisdom 1
The first Nugget of Wisdom in the level can be found in the first room with the Librarian Cassie. It's on one of the clam shell indents around the room and can be reached with the Levitation Ball.
Nugget Of Wisdom 2
The second Nugget of Wisdom can be found in the room with windmills acting as fans in the books, just after learning Projection. It's in the same room as the first Memory Vault. Use Mental Connection and go to the last node, and you;ll see the Nugget sat in a clamshell shape.
Nugget Of Wisdom 3
The third Nugget of Wisdom can be found after the Cannery 2D platforming section, when Raz is told to find evidence. It'll be sat right in front of you.
Nugget Of Wisdom 4
The final Nugget of Wisdom can be found just below the Marketplace, when Raz is told to find evidence. When you reach the top of the Marketplace, don't take the rail down. Instead, jump off the side to find the Nugget.
