Psychonauts/Asylum Tower

The asylum has a few patients, and is also home to Dr. Loboto. However, the elevator is blocked by the guard, Crispin Whytehead, and you need to disguise yourself to get past him. However, you can get the disguise from three other patients, Gloria, Fred and Edgar before attempting to get past him.

Climbing the Tower
After getting the three required items, speak with Crispin at least once. You can then use the items to disguise yourself and head up the elevator.

The main enemies are rats that crawl along the walls and ground, and release confusion gas in a damaging suicidal attack. The best possible strategy is to turn invisible as soon as you hear squeaking, find the rats, and hit them with a ricochet bolt.

Walk up to the second floor, and head left. Jump over the gap, and head into the elevator shaft to climb back down to the first floor. Head up the collapsed floor and slide along the ceiling pole. Climb the rubble to reach the third floor, and up the stairs to the fourth.

The fourth floor begins to be a little crooked. Head outside, and climb along the outer wall in order to jump onto the sixth floor.

On the sixth floor, climb the spiral staircase to jump to the seventh. Jump on the bed to enter the inner seventh floor, which appears bent at a 90 degree angle. Climb into the door, and you should reach the slime pit room.

Use a levitating jump in this room to reach the main area. Climd the stairs to reach the outer checkerboard floor (or levitate jump directly), then climb a pole. You should be able to reach the outer wall again by climbing metal grating and going through open holes; climb this to the top to recah the upper section.

Walk along the sprial ramp, jumping across the gap to reach the bed. This will bring you to two rooms; use telekinesis to move the chair out of the way, and walk through the open door.

Climb up, and ride the pipe. Climb the outer wall again, and head to the elevator.

Upper tower
When you reach the upper tower, the first obstacle is a crow that makes a sliding staircase as you approach. Remove the crow with telekinesis or sneak past it with invisibility.

Climb up the ladder and reach the top of the tower; if you want, you can use a cutscene drop by approaching Dr. Loboto.

Collect the birthday cake, and use it to lure Mr. Pokeylope to the hole. Use telekinesis to pull him out and return to the top of the tower.

To complete the plan, return to the lab, and move the brain into the psycho tank.

This is the point of no return: Shoot Lili to reach the final chapter.
