All 21 Wanted Posters Unwanted Trophy Guide High on Life 2
This guide gives a complete, step‑by‑step walkthrough to collect all 21 wanted posters in High on Life 2. It covers every poster by area, movement and traversal tips, how to avoid common glitches, and a final checklist so you can track progress toward the Unwanted trophy. The posters are spread across three main hubs: Circuit Arcadia, Pinkline Harbor, and the Zoo. None are permanently missable; you can return after the main story to finish any you missed.
How to use this guide
Read the area overview first to understand traversal patterns, then follow the numbered poster descriptions for each hub. Use the movement tips sprinkled throughout to reach high or awkward spots. If you prefer a checklist, use the final section to mark off posters as you collect them. Keep an eye out for vertical routes, glass walkways, and small islands—many posters hide where you need to climb, wall‑ride, or use your grappling bug.
Why these posters matter
Collecting every poster unlocks the Unwanted trophy and contributes to a full collectibles completion. Posters are often tucked away on rooftops, behind doors, or on narrow platforms—finding them rewards exploration and mastery of the game’s traversal mechanics.
Movement and traversal primer
Before diving into locations, master these movement basics. They’ll save time and frustration.
Wall rides and rails: Many posters require precise wall rides or grinding on rails. If a wall ride feels buggy, try a short sprint before initiating the ride or use a double dash if you’ve purchased it from the Quarters shop.
Grappling bug and Luglox interactions: Use the grappling bug to latch onto distant ledges and the Luglox to reach platforms. Some posters are only accessible by placing a Lugblob under a gate and using Sweezy’s time bubble to open doors.
Vertical exploration: Look up. Many posters sit on upper walkways, rooftops, or above glass bridges. Don’t just follow the main path—explore alleys and staircases.
Circuit Arcadia — 8 Wanted Posters
Circuit Arcadia is the first major hub and the most vertical of the three areas. Expect rooftops, glass walkways, and alleyways. Below are precise directions for each poster in the order most players encounter them.
Poster 1 — Eastern Plaza near the starting area From the main plaza, head east toward the pillars and small vendor stands. The poster is on a red stand near the pillars, tucked beside crates. It’s visible from the plaza but easy to miss if you hug the main path. Tip: sprint to the pillar cluster and scan the walls; the poster icon will appear when you’re close.
Poster 2 — Under the central platform Move to the large central red structure in the hub. Drop beneath the platform and search the corners near crates and containers. The poster is mounted on a terminal against the wall. If you can’t see it, crouch and walk the perimeter—some posters only trigger the pickup prompt when you’re at the right angle.
Poster 3 — Upper walkway platform Climb the stairs from the plaza to the elevated walkway. Cross the bridge and continue to the upper platform; the poster stands in the open near a railing. Use the grappling bug to reach the walkway if you’re coming from a lower level.
Poster 4 — Inside the tunnel passage Enter the darker tunnel corridor marked on the map. Follow the passage until you reach a small alcove with crates and a poster terminal. This one’s easy to miss in low light—toggle your scanner or aim your weapon light to highlight the terminal.
Poster 5 — Rooftop across the glass walkway From the plaza, climb to the glass bridge that connects two buildings. Cross it and continue along the rooftop path until you reach the opposite side. The poster sits near a small cluster of palm trees. If the glass wall ride is buggy, use the double dash or grind a nearby rail to clear the gap.
Poster 6 — High balcony platform From Poster 5, look for a ramp on the left side. Use it and wall ride to the platform on the other side. This wall ride can be inconsistent; if it fails, try grinding a rail and jumping across. The poster is on a balcony near a small platform with a Luglox.
Poster 7 — Alley near the theater Head down the alley close to the theater sign. The poster is in plain sight on a wall near the alley’s end. This one’s straightforward but easy to miss if you’re focused on the main street.
Poster 8 — In front of the Rhea Pharma building This poster sits on the plaza in front of the Rhea Pharma building. It’s visible from the main thoroughfare but can be overlooked if you’re moving quickly. Pause and scan the building fronts as you pass.
Pinkline Harbor — 5 Wanted Posters
Pinkline Harbor mixes open docks, rooftops, and a small island. Traversal here requires rooftop jumps and careful use of stairs and rails.
Poster 9 — Small island rock formation From the docks, look for a small island reachable by a short jump or a grappling bug. The poster is on a rock formation near the island’s center. If you can’t reach it, use the grappling bug to latch onto the nearest buoy or rooftop and swing across.
Poster 10 — Rooftop circular area Go up the stairs left of the escape room area and jump across rooftops. Aim for the circular rooftop area; the poster stands in the center. Use double dash or a well-timed wall ride to clear the gaps between roofs.
Poster 11 — Right side harbor area Explore the right side of the harbor market. The poster is tucked into a covered walkway near vendor stalls. Walk the perimeter of the market and check behind crates and stalls.
Poster 12 — Near the cruise ticket building Just past the building where you show cruise tickets during the story, there’s a narrow path with a poster mounted on a wall. This is a story‑adjacent location and easy to spot if you retrace the path you took during the mission.
Poster 13 — Path to the ship This poster sits on the path you take during the story to board the ship. It’s hard to miss if you replay the area, but if you fast‑travel in, check the path that leads to the pier—poster icons sometimes hide behind railings or crates.
Zoo — 8 Wanted Posters
The Zoo is dense with paths, enclosures, and indoor areas. Posters here often require solving small traversal puzzles or using Lugblob mechanics.
Poster 14 — Northwestern corner garden Head to the northwest corner of the Zoo. The poster is in a garden area near decorative foliage. Look behind bamboo walls and near benches.
Poster 15 — Behind bamboo walls near the car park This poster hides behind bamboo partitions close to the car park. Push through narrow gaps and check behind the walls; the poster terminal is mounted low on a pillar.
Poster 16 — Down the stairs past the Gift Shop From the Gift Shop, descend the stairs and follow the path. The poster sits on a lower walkway near a small kiosk. If you’re coming from the main entrance, this is one of the first posters you’ll encounter.
Poster 17 — East path from the Aviary Follow the path that runs east from the Aviary. The poster is on a raised walkway. Use the grappling bug to reach the higher platform if needed.
Poster 18 — Inside the Aviary Enter the Aviary and search the central platform. The poster is inside the enclosure; be mindful of environmental hazards and moving platforms. This one is often captured in video guides because it’s inside a contained area.
Poster 19 — South of the Aviary On the path south of the Aviary, you’ll find a poster near a water feature. Check the path edges and small alcoves.
Poster 20 — Behind the human holding building This poster is on the other side of the building where humans are kept. To open the door, place a Lugblob under the gate and shoot it with Sweezy’s time bubble; the gate will open and reveal the poster when you exit the building. This sequence is a small puzzle—don’t rush it.
Poster 21 — Near the eastern fast travel point Close to the eastern fast travel point, you’ll find the final poster. It’s near a path junction and is easy to collect on your way to or from the fast travel node.
Troubleshooting common issues and glitch fixes
Some posters can be tricky due to movement bugs or pickup prompts not appearing. Here are reliable fixes.
Poster not registering: If you interact with a poster and it doesn’t register, reload the area by fast‑traveling away and back. If that fails, quit to the main menu and reload the save. Many players report this clears the pickup flag.
Wall ride or glass bridge bugs: If a wall ride or glass traversal fails, try using the double dash upgrade or grind a nearby rail to build momentum. Sometimes a short sprint before the action reduces the chance of a physics hiccup.
Poster behind a door not opening: Ensure you’ve used the correct Lugblob or Sweezy interaction. If the door still won’t open, move the Lugblob slightly and reapply the time bubble; collision detection can be finicky.
Efficient route for speedrunners and completionists
If you want to collect posters in a single sweep, follow this optimized route: start in Circuit Arcadia and clear all eight posters by moving from the plaza outward to rooftops, then fast‑travel to Pinkline Harbor and sweep the docks and rooftops, finishing on the small island. Finally, fast‑travel to the Zoo and clear the eight posters there, finishing at the eastern fast travel point. This minimizes backtracking and uses fast travel to reset any stuck pickups. Use the grappling bug and double dash to shave time off rooftop transitions.
Collectible tracking and checklist
Use this checklist to mark posters as you collect them. If a poster doesn’t register, note the number and return after a short mission or reload.
Circuit Arcadia: Posters 1–8
Pinkline Harbor: Posters 9–13
Zoo: Posters 14–21
Keep a small notebook or screenshot your in‑game map after each poster to confirm progress. If you’re aiming for 100% collectibles, combine poster hunting with other side objectives in each hub to save time.
Tips for solo players and those who prefer exploration
If you like to explore at your own pace, don’t rush. Posters reward curiosity—check alleys, rooftop edges, and behind vendor stalls. Use the scanner frequently; it highlights interactable terminals and can reveal posters hidden behind foliage or crates. If you’re stuck, retrace your steps from the last fast travel point and look up and down—posters often hide vertically.
Tips for players who want a quick completion
If you want to finish quickly, follow the efficient route above and use fast travel to reset any stuck pickups. Buy the double dash upgrade early if you plan to speedrun the posters; it makes many rooftop jumps trivial. Keep an eye on rails and grind lines—these often provide the fastest path between poster locations.
What to do if a poster is missing after finishing the story
Posters are not missable; you can return to hubs after the main story to collect any you missed. If a poster is missing from the map or won’t spawn, reload the area or the game. If the problem persists, try collecting a different nearby collectible and then return; sometimes the game’s spawn logic needs a nudge.
Final checklist before claiming the Unwanted trophy
Before you expect the trophy to pop, confirm the following:
You have collected 21 posters total.
You have visited all three hubs and checked the specific locations listed above.
You’ve reloaded any area where a poster didn’t register and retried the pickup.
You’ve completed any small puzzles (Lugblob + Sweezy interactions) that gate certain posters.
If all else fails, replay a short mission in the hub and then return—this often resolves lingering registration issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are any of the wanted posters missable? A: No. All 21 wanted posters can be collected after finishing the main story, so none are permanently missable. If you miss one during a mission, you can return later and pick it up.
Q: Do I need any upgrades to reach all posters? A: No single upgrade is strictly required, but the double dash and grappling bug make many rooftop and gap jumps easier. Some posters require precise wall rides or Lugblob interactions; having movement upgrades speeds the process.
Q: What should I do if a poster doesn’t register? A: Fast‑travel away and back, or quit to the main menu and reload your save. If that doesn’t work, collect a nearby collectible and return; this can force the game to update the poster’s state.
Q: Is there a video guide I can follow? A: Yes—several creators have uploaded video walkthroughs that show exact routes and timestamps for each poster. Watching a short clip for a specific poster can help if you’re stuck on a tricky jump.
Q: Will collecting all posters unlock anything besides the Unwanted trophy? A: The primary reward is the Unwanted trophy and progress toward 100% collectibles. Posters also contribute to completionist satisfaction and may unlock in‑game achievements or completion stats depending on platform.
