How to Unlock Dr Gurgula Will Return Trophy All Transmission Locations
These transmissions are short audio logs from Dr Gurgula hidden in the world and tucked into mission spaces. Two of them are embedded inside story mission areas that you only pass through once on a given save file; if you leave those areas without grabbing the transmission, the only guaranteed way to get them later is to start a new save and replay the missions. The third transmission sits in Circuit Arcadia and can be collected at any time, including postgame. Treat the first two as must‑grab while you’re there.
What you need before hunting
Save often when you reach mission checkpoints and before leaving mission interiors. If you miss a transmission and want to avoid a full replay, you’ll need to plan ahead.
Bring companions and weapons that let you manipulate the environment: Travis & Jan for lifting and launching objects, Sheath for tethering and connecting nodes, and Gus for flipping panels. These abilities are essential for the Circuit Arcadia puzzle.
Keep traversal tools and movement upgrades handy. Some transmissions require precise platforming or using environmental structures to reach vents or hidden rooms.
If you’re aiming for the trophy, treat the mission collectibles as priority objectives rather than optional loot.
How the guide is organized
This guide gives step‑by‑step instructions for each transmission in the order you’re likely to encounter them during a normal playthrough: the Wyoming cult mission transmission, the Professor Berkel mission transmission, and the Circuit Arcadia open‑world transmission. Each section includes exact movement cues, companion usage, and troubleshooting tips for common bugs or placement issues. After the walkthroughs, there’s a concise FAQ that answers the most frequent questions players ask while hunting these missable collectibles.
Transmission 1 — Wyoming cult mission (Missable)
This first transmission appears during the mission where you rescue your dad from the cult. It’s tucked into the interior of the cult building after the miniboss encounter and before you exit through the broken window. Instead of leaving, turn back and head to the back left corner of the room. You’ll see a small vent high on the wall that’s reachable by using the nearby bookshelf and a small platform sequence. Jump onto the bookshelf, hop to the small platform, and enter the vent to find the transmission. Because this is inside a mission area you only pass through once, grab it the first time or you’ll need to replay the mission on a fresh save to get it.
Step‑by‑step actions
After the miniboss, do not exit through the broken window.
Turn to the back left corner of the room and look for a vent near the ceiling.
Use the bookshelf as a launch point: jump onto the bookshelf, then to the small platform beside it.
From the platform, jump into the vent and follow the short corridor to the audio log.
Interact with the transmission to collect it; the game will register the collectible immediately.
Troubleshooting
If you accidentally exit the room and the mission advances, check your save: if you have a checkpoint inside the room, reload it; otherwise you must replay the mission.
If the vent looks blocked, inspect the room for alternate climbable surfaces—some players find a slightly different route using a nearby ledge or wall ride. The key is to reach the vent opening above the floor.
Transmission 2 — Professor Berkel bounty in Pinkline Harbor (Missable)
The second transmission is found during the Professor Berkel bounty/mission in the Pinkline Harbor area. After you enter the research area on the beach, head into the tent located next to Gessie’s head. Inside the tent, activate the generator or press the red button at the far end; this will power a cable that leads to a smaller building behind Gessie. Follow the cable to that building, enter, and the transmission will be inside. Like the first, this one is missable because it’s inside a mission area you only visit during the story.
Step‑by‑step actions
Progress through the Professor Berkel mission until you reach the research area on the beach.
Locate the tent next to Gessie’s head and go inside.
Press the red button or activate the generator at the back of the tent.
Follow the cable that becomes active; it leads to a smaller building behind Gessie.
Walk into that building—the door may open automatically when you approach—and collect the transmission inside.
Troubleshooting
If you don’t see the cable light up, make sure you fully activated the generator or red button; sometimes you need to stand on the switch for a second.
If the door doesn’t open, try stepping back and reapproaching; mission scripting can be finicky and proximity triggers sometimes fail on the first pass. Reloading the checkpoint usually fixes it.
Transmission 3 — Circuit Arcadia northern building (Not missable)
The third transmission is located in Circuit Arcadia and is the only one that is not strictly missable; you can return later and collect it even after finishing the main story. It’s inside a northern building that requires a multi‑step environmental puzzle using Travis & Jan, Sheath, and Gus to manipulate a truck, move Lugblobs, and connect electrical nodes. The puzzle is fiddly but straightforward if you follow the sequence below.
High‑level puzzle summary
Lift a truck using Travis & Jan to access an infected area.
Use Travis & Jan to pick up a Lugblob and place it on a panel to open a gate.
Use Gus to flip panels and Sheath to tether nodes, creating a chain that powers doors and moves the Lugblob through the rooms.
Launch the Lugblob onto the truck in the middle of the room, adjust its position, and complete the conductor chain to open the final door where the transmission sits.
Step‑by‑step actions
Lift the truck: Use Travis & Jan’s ability to lift the truck in the northern building. This gives you access to the infected area and the puzzle room.
First Lugblob: In the first room, drop down to the bottom floor and use Travis & Jan to pick up the Lugblob. Place it on the panel to open the gate to the next area.
Move through the gate: On the other side, repeat the process: pick up the next Lugblob and place it on the truck to move it to the upper area. Position it as close to the right edge as possible.
Flip panels with Gus: Use Gus to flip the panel at the bottom so you can route power where needed.
Use Sheath to connect nodes: Connect the panel to the Lugblob, then tether the Lugblob to the node in the corner of the top floor, and finally to the door to open it.
Proceed to the next room: Grab the Lugblob and take it through to the next area. Use Travis & Jan to launch the Lugblob onto the truck in the middle of the room. Lower it slightly with Jan if needed.
Final conductor chain: Use Sheath to connect the panel on the right to the door at the top by following this path: Panel → Lower node behind the truck → Lugblob → Node above the first gate → Node in the upper area behind the truck → Door. If the wires look buggy, reposition the Lugblob slightly until the chain registers.
Collect the transmission: With the door open, enter the final room and pick up the transmission.
Troubleshooting and tips
The puzzle can feel buggy because the game’s physics and conductor connections sometimes fail to register. If a connection doesn’t work, move the Lugblob a few inches and try again. Small adjustments often fix the issue.
If the truck or Lugblob gets stuck, use Travis & Jan to reposition them; sometimes shooting the truck a few times with Jan helps reset its position.
If you’re struggling with the sequence, pause and visualize the conductor path before making connections. The order matters: panels must be connected in a chain that leads to the door.
This transmission is accessible in the postgame, so if you miss it earlier you can return later without replaying story missions.
Trophy and achievement specifics
Collecting all three transmissions unlocks the Dr Gurgula Will Return achievement/trophy. Because two transmissions are missable during story missions, the most efficient approach is to collect them as you encounter them rather than assuming you’ll come back later. If you miss either of the mission‑locked transmissions, the only guaranteed way to obtain them is to start a new save and replay the relevant missions. Save management and checkpoint awareness are therefore essential.
Quick checklist before you leave a mission area
Did you thoroughly search the room after the miniboss?
Did you check tents, behind generators, and follow any newly activated cables?
Did you inspect vents and climbable surfaces in mission interiors?
Did you save after collecting the transmission so you can quit without losing progress?
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Rushing out of mission interiors: Many players exit a mission area immediately after a fight and miss the vent or tent that hides a transmission. Slow down and scan the room.
Assuming collectibles respawn: Mission‑embedded collectibles often do not respawn on the same save. If you miss one, you’ll likely need to replay the mission.
Ignoring companion abilities: The Circuit Arcadia puzzle requires specific companion interactions. If you try to brute force it with weapons alone, you’ll waste time. Use Travis & Jan, Sheath, and Gus as intended.
Optimization tips for speedrunners and completionists
If you’re speedrunning or chasing 100% completion, plan your route so you hit the two mission‑locked transmissions on your first pass. That means pausing to search every interior before leaving.
Use quick saves before entering mission interiors so you can reload if you accidentally exit without grabbing the collectible.
For the Circuit Arcadia puzzle, practice the Lugblob placements in a low‑pressure run to learn the exact positions that register conductor connections reliably.
Visual and audio cues to watch for
Audio logs often have a distinct icon and a short audio cue when you’re close. Listen for the faint static or voice that signals a transmission is nearby.
Environmental triggers like cables lighting up, doors opening, or panels flipping are reliable indicators that you’re on the right path. If a cable lights up after pressing a button, follow it.
If you missed a missable transmission
Check your last checkpoint: if it’s inside the mission area, reload and search the room.
If the checkpoint is past the collectible, you’ll need to start a new save and replay the mission to collect the transmission. This is why saving before leaving mission interiors is crucial.
Final verification and trophy unlock
After collecting all three transmissions, the game should register the Dr Gurgula Will Return achievement/trophy. If the trophy doesn’t pop immediately, verify your collectible count in the game’s collectibles menu and reload the save; sometimes the trophy triggers after a short delay or after a reload. If the count shows three but the trophy hasn’t unlocked, try quitting to the main menu and reloading the save.
FAQ
Q: How many Dr Gurgula transmissions are there? A: There are three transmissions total. Two are found during story missions and are missable; the third is in Circuit Arcadia and can be collected later.
Q: Which transmissions are missable? A: The transmissions in the Wyoming cult mission and the Professor Berkel mission are missable because they are inside mission areas you only pass through on a given save. The Circuit Arcadia transmission is not missable.
Q: Do I need to replay the whole game if I miss one? A: If you miss a mission‑locked transmission and don’t have a checkpoint inside the mission area, you must start a new save and replay the mission to collect it. The Circuit Arcadia one can be collected later.
Q: What companions do I need for the Circuit Arcadia puzzle? A: You’ll need Travis & Jan to lift and launch objects, Sheath to tether nodes and connect conductors, and Gus to flip panels. These abilities are essential to complete the puzzle.
Q: The Lugblob or truck is stuck. What do I do? A: Use Travis & Jan to reposition the Lugblob or truck. Shooting the truck with Jan a few times can reset its position. Small adjustments to the Lugblob placement often fix conductor registration issues.
Q: The trophy didn’t unlock after collecting all three. A: Verify the collectible count in the menu. If it shows three but the trophy didn’t pop, reload the save or quit to the main menu and reload; the achievement sometimes triggers after a reload.
This guide gives you the exact routes, companion interactions, and troubleshooting steps to collect all three Dr Gurgula transmissions and secure the Dr Gurgula Will Return trophy. Prioritize the two mission‑locked transmissions when you first encounter their areas, use the companion abilities precisely in Circuit Arcadia, and save strategically to avoid replaying missions.
