–Ford Cruller upon giving Raz the bacon

“"Ooo, is that honey pepper boar bacon?"”

–Ford Cruller

Bacon is an item used to summon Ford Cruller. It is given to Raz by Ford Cruller for the purposes of contacting him while outside of Ford's Sanctuary.

Gameplay

Psychonauts

After reaching Ford's Sanctuary and speaking to Ford Cruller, Raz receives the bacon from him. Ford tells Raz he's going to be a "psychic stowaway" in Raz's head, and then tells him that he can use the bacon to summon a projection of him.

Raz may then use the bacon anywhere outside of Ford's Sanctuary, which he does by holding it up to his ear, to summon Ford. Raz may ask Ford questions about the current level and receive his advice on enemies and the like. He may also ask Ford to teleport him back to Ford's Sanctuary, and then back to where he came from. Additionally, after purchasing the PSI Energy Colorizer at the Camp Store, Raz may ask Ford to change the color of his PSI Powers.

Psychonauts 2

In Psychonauts 2, Raz gets some Honey Pepper Boar Bacon from the Noodle Bowl in order to summon Ford to the Motherlobe.

• "Hey, why don’t you just take a little nibble of that and see if I can taste it too?"

• "Not much to do here except clean up all the cobwebs, collect all figments, and get any vaults that are left."

• (When using the bacon near one of the Ford Crullers) "Hey, how can you be over there and in my ear at the same time?"

Hostiles analysis

Enemies

• "Need your analysis on a hostile."

• "What kind?"

• (PSI-Bears) "Did you know that this camp has a bear problem?"
  • "Oh, not just any bears, but bears that have been mutated by Psitanium."
  • "Now they know Telekinesis!"
  • "When you see that TK claw come out you have to dodge it quick."
  • "And PSI Blast those bears from a distance, or set their tails on fire."

• (Monster Plant) "Have you ever seen a plant with eyes and teeth?"
  • "Oh, yeah. The kind that’s impervious to attack when it’s curled up? Hate those."
  • "You gotta walk up just close enough to wake them up, and then PSI Blast ’em, real quick!"

• (Stamping Censors) "How do you fight censors?"
  • "Ah, anything works on those guys, You can punch ’em, PSI Blast ’em…"
  • "It’s fun to set fire to them or confuse ’em too. Heh heh heh."
  • "Pick ’em up with TK and throw ’em. Make yourself invisible and sneak up on them."
  • "Lotsa fun, those guys."

• (Shouting Censors) "What about those censors that shoot stuff?"
  • "Oh, you gotta grab those guys with your Mental Focus Lock, then you can jump left or right to avoid their shots, while PSI Blasting them from a distance."

• (Little Censors) "What if there’s, like, a million, tiny censors. All over you?"
  • "Ah, the Palm Bomb! Just jump up in the air and then punch!"
  • "You’ll come down so hard those little guys just pop like popcorn!"

• (PSI-Cougars) "What do you do when you hear a cougar?"
  • "Go invisible quick. Those mutant PSI Cougars can firestart at quite a distance, but they can’t burn what they can’t see."
  • "And also, if you pick them up with TK you can actually distract them for a little bit, and use that to your advantage."

• (Crayfish) "The crayfish in the lake are bigger than what we got back home."
  • "That’s the Psitanium in the water. Makes a lot of the animals around here a little different."
  • "At least those crayfish are fun to punch!"

• (Sucker Fish) "Have you ever been grabbed by a sucker fish?"
  • "Oh, they can give you a nasty hickey. But if you jump twice and spin, you might be able to shake them off a little quicker."

• (Lungfish Navy Tanks) "In Lungfishopolis, I’m really big, but there are these tanks…"
  • "Do what any self-respecting monster would do!"
  • "Pick ’em up! Throw them at something! Boom!"
  • "Ha! But if you’re surrounded, don’t forget your shield. And try to time it right."

• (Lungfish Navy Electro-Trucks) "Were you watching those Electro Trucks?"
  • "Yeah, RUN AWAY. That’s my advice there. PSI Blast them from a distance, or run around the side of them and smack them with your monster claw."

• (Lungfish Navy Turret) "What about a really big turret with shots you couldn’t dodge?"
  • "Shield! After your enemy takes a shot, advance. When you see them about to shoot again, shield up! Get real close that way, and you can take any shot you want."

• (Lungfish Navy Airplanes) "Airplanes can be a pain, can’t they?"
  • "Well you gotta shield until you see an opening, and then PSI Blast ’em out of the sky!"

• (Bats/Harpies) "There are these mean little Harpies in Gloria’s mind…"
  • "Shoot! Shoot ’em. Blast them in the head. We’re trying to save the world here, not start an aviary!"

  • "They’re only invulnerable when they’re spinning, but if you can’t wait, try fire."

• (Hounds) "These hell-hounds keep setting me on fire."
  • "Now, if a dog did that to me, I’d shoot it. From a distance. With my PSI Blast."

• (Strongarm Censors) "What about the really big, burly censors?"
  • "It’s best if they can’t see you, so go invisible when they come around."
  • "Or burn them, or hit them with a confusion grenade if you’re going for entertainment value."

• (Cannon Snails) "How would you kill a really big walking snail with a cannon?"
  • "Well, remember you can tumble fast when you’re using your mental focus…"
  • "That should help you avoid their cannonballs."
  • "And when you get up close, punch them, and when they’re all sealed up like a pill bug…"
  • "Light the fuse on their head and see what happens when that cannon goes off inside their armor."
  • "And when you’re tired of that, pick them up with TK and throw them in the water. Snails can’t swim! Hee hee!"

• (Confusion Rats) "Have you ever been confused by a rat?"
  • "All the time, until I figured out that if you firestart them, they don’t set off a cloud of confusion."

• (Bunny Demon) "Hellish bunnies spewed forth from meat grinders? Ring a bell?"
  • "At this point, I just say beat the heck out of em. Something like that shouldn’t even exist!"

• (Knife Thrower) "How do I kill that armless guy with the swords in his mouth?"
  • "Ah youth. I remember the first time I asked that very question."
  • "You can’t kill something like that. But you might be able to use his weapons to your own advantage."
  • "Once his swords go into the wall, I’ll bet you could swing on them in that way you do so well."

Mid/Big Bosses

• (Mega Censor/Phase 1) "Those little censors seem to be restoring the big guy’s health."
  • "You gotta shut down the leaks the little censors are coming out of!"

• (Mega Censor/Phase 2) "Take the big guy out!"
  • "Don’t forget to hold mental focus while you’re blasting!"
  • "Locking focus on him will also make it easier to circle around and get behind him!"
• (Bobby Zilch) "Don’t forget you can still PSI Blast when your on the ball."
  • "Ranged weapons are always useful in a race."

• (Blueprint Brain Tank/Phase 1) "You can hide behind those pillars to break his target-locking on you."
  • "Wait until he rears up to charge, and then blast him in his soft pink underbelly! Ha!"
  • "And then when he’s upside down, get him!"

• (Blueprint Brain Tank/Phase 2) "Get as high as you can, and float in shooting!"

• (Linda the Hideous Hulking Lungfish) "Dodge that garbage it’s spitting out!"
  • "And when it’s sucking it back up, bust open one of those nail boxes and see how it likes the taste of those!"

• (Kochamara) "If you pay attention to this guy’s actions, you can tell how he’s about to attack."
  • "Wait for him to let down his shield, and then attack."
  • "And don’t forget to use your own shield!"

• (Nightmare) "What about those creepy guys who pull you under ground?"
  • "Oh, be careful with people’s nightmares, son."
  • "They’ll pull you into their nightmare world and never let go."
  • "You gotta feed them some of their own medicine."
  • "Avoid their grab attacks and try to hurt them to the point that they split open."
  • "And then grab any chunks of their victims that you can find--use TK to throw them into the gaping hole and that should choke up its system."
  • "When it turns to glass you can shatter it with one good punch."

• (Den Mother) "Shoot those exploding cookie boxes."
  • "And turn on your shield when you see her throwing stuff at you!"

  • "Shoot those exploding cookie boxes."
  • "And turn on your shield when you see her throwing stuff at you!"

• (Jasper Rolls) "Let’s float up to the catwalks and blind him with those spotlights so he’ll let down his guard."
  • "Zig zag on the way up to avoid the fat man’s attacks"

• (Luchador: Tiger) "That Tiger wrestler’s got a mean pounce."
  • "Yeah, but it’s not so mean if you shield at the right moment."
  • "And if you’re invisible then he’s just out of luck."

• (Luchador: Dragon) "That Dragon wrestler has this roar that glues me to the floor."
  • "That’s the thing. You gotta be off the floor when that happens. As soon as he starts to let out a roar, you jump as high as you can and PSI Float. Then he can’t get you."

• (Luchador: Eagle) "Two words: Ca-caw."
  • "Well, I mean. That’s really one word isn’t it?"
  • "How are you spelling it?"
  • "C-a-hyphen-c-a-w."
  • "Oh, well if you’re going to use a hyphen, I mean--"
  • "It’s a hyphenated word. One, hyphenated word. Like, um, half-wit."
  • "Look, are you--"
  • "Watch his shadow, and when you see him coming down, turn on your shield for a real back-breaking landing."
  • "Back hyphen breaking. Two words."

• (Luchador: Cobra) "That Cobra wrestler resists attacks."
  • "Yeah, that concentration yap he’s giving don’t mean a thing if you can hit him with a nice confusion grenade. While he’s trying to remember his name, he’s vulnerable."

• (El Odio) "You can TK those spears into that bull, well, see if that slows him down."

• (Dingo Inflagrante) "Man, get those spears out of Edgar’s back! What kind of friend are you?"
  • "And see if you can confuse that Matador."

• (Dingo Inflagrante/Mid Fight) "While that Matador thinks he’s a bull, he’s probably vulnerable like a bull."
  • "Try sticking him with those barbed poles."
  • "Banderillas! Use the word!"

• (Psychoblaster Death Tank) "You have to TK rubble against rubble!"
  • "Break a hole big enough in the first ring so you can get in and set fire to the inner ring."

• (The Butcher and Evil Augustus Round 2) "Okay, do NOT run up the flaming arms."
  • "Hmm. Try TKing some of your Dad’s flaming clubs into the butcher."

• (Two-Headed Dad Monster/Final Boss) "Yeah, put your head between your legs and kiss your ass good bye!"

Trivia

• If Raz equips the bacon while in Ford's Sanctuary, Ford will say "Now don't go pullin' that out while I'm physically near by, or I'm telling you I'm gonna eat it!"
  • The same happens if Raz takes out the bacon while in a training session for the merit badges Invisibility, Telekinesis, or Pyrokinesis.
• Ford's Sanctuary is the only place where Raz may equip the bacon, as opposed to using it to contact Cruller.
• There is an achievement in the Steam version of Psychonauts for using the bacon several times.
• If Bacon is used next to one of Ford's "disguises" around Whispering Rock, Raz will ask Ford how he can be in two places at once.
