Separate checklists cover conditions that normal completion alone does not meet.

Soup: count two salt and three pepper portions individually

At Cat Soup, staying beneath a seasoning is different from adding it several times. Add white salt twice and black pepper three times, counting each move under the container and back out. If bugs enter, stop trying to complete the secret recipe.

Keep away from the bird until the soup is ready. Let it drink the reddish soup and check its tears. The recipe also appears in the Trashopedia's Recipe Book after normal completion.

Safe: entering the sequence and entering the safe are separate steps

Bandit's Note at headquarters hints at the secret operation. Press buttons with the snake's tail in Biology Lab, open the safe, then return to the security room.

OrderButtonNote
1UpMove away after pressing so the swinging tail does not touch it twice.
2LeftCheck each input individually.
3DownFollow the button order rather than the magnet's position.
4LeftA separate input from the first left press.
5GRABCheck that the safe-opening scene appears.
6Enter the security-room safeAfter finishing the lab, head right before using the blue card to continue.

No-damage fight: use the second-phase device before time runs out

Keep the hole moving while dodging bombardment. Circle widely to avoid hole-blocking attacks, collect a small bomb as soon as it appears and move beneath the machine.

Launch the second-phase hacking device as soon as it is placed. Do not treat the section after the conversation as safe just because you finished the first phase undamaged. If you take any damage or run out of time, retry the no-damage attempt on a replay.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q1 The safe input does not respond after repeated attempts ▼
A

Check that the snake's tail is not striking the same button repeatedly. Press up, left, down and left once each, then touch GRAB and check for the opening scene.

Q2 Can Nerd and Music Lover both be completed? ▼
A

Instead of forcing both on the same run, collect and view the radio first, then leave it behind when replaying Gecko Park.
