High on Life 2 Secret Ending Guide: Ankhs For The Memories Achievement

Introduction

So you thought you finished High on Life 2? Think again. The game hides a genuinely wild secret ending behind a series of escape room puzzles that most players completely miss. The Ankhs For The Memories achievement rewards you for uncovering this hidden conclusion, and trust me, the payoff is worth the extra effort. This guide walks you through every puzzle solution and ensures you don't lock yourself out of this missable content.

Where to Find the Escape Rooms

The escape room facility sits in the beach area, specifically in the southwest corner of your map. Look for a distinct symbol marking its location. You can't access this area immediately, though. You'll need to have recruited Travis at minimum before the game lets you reach it, though having Jan in your arsenal makes things smoother.

Once you arrive, you'll need to raise a platform to actually enter the facility. This is a one way trip in terms of commitment. You cannot leave the escape rooms until you've completed all three levels and obtained the Ankh from the green Mummy.

Each room presents a unique puzzle with its own twisted logic. Here's exactly what you need to do in each one.

Don't Forget the Newsletter

After completing all three rooms and watching the cutscenes, you'll exit the facility. Here's where players mess up: sign up for the newsletter when prompted! This seemingly throwaway interaction is actually part of triggering the secret ending properly.

You'll encounter the escape room leader again at the restaurant. This scene triggers the Ankhs For The Memories achievement and reveals the true secret ending.

The achievement description asks "Was any of this even real?" and honestly, after seeing this ending, you'll be asking yourself the same question.

What Makes This Ending Special?

Without spoiling too much, the secret ending recontextualizes your entire playthrough. The escape room leader's reappearance ties together several loose threads that the normal ending leaves dangling. It's the kind of meta commentary that High on Life fans have come to expect from the series.
