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 is located in the beach area, tucked into the southwest corner of your map. A distinctive symbol marks the spot. You can't waltz in immediately, though. You need to recruit Travis first before the game grants access, and bringing Jan along makes the journey easier.

When you arrive, raise the platform to enter the facility. This is a point of no return. You're stuck inside these escape rooms until you clear all three levels and grab the Ankh from the green Mummy.

How to Complete All Three Escape Room Puzzles

Each room throws a different puzzle at you. Here's the exact solution for all three.

Room 1: The Alarm Clock Puzzle

The first room eases you in. Your goal is waking up the Mummy.

1. Find the Alarm Clock in the room

Don't Forget the Newsletter

After clearing all three rooms and sitting through the cutscenes, you exit the facility. Here's where players screw up: sign up for the newsletter when the prompt appears. This seemingly random interaction is part of triggering the secret ending properly.
