To find the Thought Tuner, you’ll have to go through the first few hours Psychonauts 2 main story and unlock the Quarry location. This is located just outside the Motherlobe, and you’ll automatically be familiar with it through normal gameplay — if you’re into the main missions, there’s no way you’re going to miss it.

With the quarry unlocked, move to the edge of the platform in front of you and look to the right. In the distance across the pond, you’ll see Otto’s lab. This is where you’ll need to go to unlock the Thought Tuner, and — luckily — it’s an easy place to get to. As you approach the edge of the platform holding the Motherlobe, a path will rise from the water below and give you access to Otto’s lab.

When you enter, talk to Otto, who is behind the reception desk. Ask him if he has any equipment or gadgets you can use, and he’ll give you the Otto-Shot and the Thought Tuner.

Thought Tuner is used to detect stray thoughts in the real world and cannot be used while in your teammates’ brains. This means you will only use it in locations like Motherlobe and Quarry.

Despite its geographical limitations, the Thought Tuner is an extremely useful device. To equip it, press Left D-Pad — or hold T on PC — and Raz will start slowly walking around with the Thought Tuner in front of him.

With the thought tuner turned off, listen carefully for a faint beep — this will indicate a stray thought nearby. From there, it’s a simple game of Hot and Cold. The closer you get to that thought, the faster and louder the beeping will be. Get close enough and you’ll discover a stray thought, which will create Thought Bubbles that can be used to reach a new part of the map.

If you are trying to get 100% completion in Psychonauts 2, it is important to take Thought Tuner as soon as possible. This will save you from returning to previous locations, as dozens of collectibles are hidden in areas only accessible after using the Thought Tuner.
