High On Life 2 includes several references, Easter eggs, and returning characters from the first game, especially some notable Gatlians, and there’s a secret achievement/trophy featuring Dr. Gurgula. Three transmissions from Dr. Gurgula are hidden throughout the game, including two transmissions tucked away during bounty missions, making it entirely possible to miss these hidden messages.
If you want to unlock the Dr. Gurgula Will Return achievement/trophy without missing out on any of the transmissions, then we’ve got you covered with all the information you’ll need to find all three Dr. Gurgula transmissions in High On Life 2.
If you missed any of the transmissions, you have to start over on a new file to get all of them and unlock the achievement/trophy.
Where To Find Dr. Gurgula’s Hidden Transmissions
To unlock the Dr. Gurgula Will Return achievement/trophy, you must find all three transmissions in a single playthrough, with two of them being completely missable. The three Dr. Gurgula Transmissions are found in:
- Wyoming, during the Rescue Your Dad From The Cult mission.
- Pinkline Harbor, during the Kill Scientist Professor Berkel mission.
- Northern Circuit Arcadia, which can be accessed whenever you want, even after you beat the game.
The first two mission-only transmissions are easy to miss, while the third and final transmission requires some clever puzzle-solving with Sheath.
First Transmission – Rescue Your Dad From The Cult
The first transmission is found during the Rescue Your Dad From The Cult mission, after you progress about halfway through and return to the main cult building after freeing your dad.
Once you return to the building, fight your way through the enemies until you reach a mini-boss with a large red HP bar at the top of the screen.
- Defeat the mini-boss, but do not go through the broken window yet.
- Instead, turn around, and you’ll spot a vent in the corner of the room, to the left side if you’re facing away from the window.
- Jump onto the bookshelf nearby and use it as a platform to jump over and up into the vent, which will drop you into a secret room.
- Inside the secret room, activate Dr. Gurgula’s transmission and enjoy the bits of lore.
Second Transmission – Kill Scientist Professor Berkel
The next Dr. Gurgula transmission appears during the Kill Scientist Professor Berkel story mission.
Progress through the beginning of the mission in Pinkline Harbor until you get to the area where they’re researching Gessie.
Pass through the area and go to the tent on the far side, directly adjacent to Gessie’s head.
You’ll know you’ve found the right spot if you can activate a generator on the left side immediately after you enter the tent.
- Once the generator is activated, follow the green wire on the ground.
- Approach a tent hidden closer to Gessie.
- Enter the tent and activate the Dr. Gurgula transmission here.

Third Transmission – Circuit Arcadia, Anytime
Thankfully, the transmission in Circuit Arcadia can be accessed at anytime – even during the post-game – but it also offers the most intense puzzle-solving requirement yet. Luckily, it’s easy if you know exactly how to do it.
Head to the northern area of Circuit Arcadia until you spot a vehicle pushed up against a wall.
Use Travis and Jan’s Trick Shot to elevate the vehicle and clear a path into the door leading to the transmission.
Once inside, you’ll need to solve a Lugblob puzzle to open the garage door into the next room:
When you enter the room, use Gus to flip any panels to access the Sheath electrical panels hidden behind them.
- Jump down and use Travis and Jan to grab the first Lugblob.
- Place the Lugblob on the panel and proceed to the next room.
Now you’ll be in the second room.
Use Travis and Jan again here to fetch the second Lugblob.
You might need to jump down, move the blob to the edge, use Sweezy to jump out, then use Travis and Jan to bounce the blob into your reach.
- Put the blob on top of the floating car.
- Then, tether the source to the blob.
- Tether the blob to the electrical wall panel, opening the door.
- Enter the door, and grab the next blob (third overall).
Now, you’ll be back in that first room with an extra Lugblob to play with.
Once you return through the door to the first room with another Lugblob in hand, you’ll be able to solve the Sheath puzzle here.
- First, flip the panel with Gus and connect to the power source revealed behind it.
- Tether from the power source to the first coil on the same level platform that you’re on (second of three levels).
- Position the Lugblob carefully along the edge of the railing next to the vehicle, so it is in view of the coil on the upper level.
- Tether from the first coil to the Lugblob.
- Tether from the Lugblob to the upper coil.
- From the upper coil, tether another wire to the far wall to a third coil.
- Lastly, tether the wire to the power receptacle above the door, which is directly across from the second coil on the upper level.
Enter the door, and you’ll find the third and final Dr. Gurgula transmission.
Once you interact with the transmission, you’ll receive the achievement/trophy, Dr. Gurgula Will Return.
