Emotional Baggage

Everyone has Emotional Baggage that needs to be sorted. You can help by finding this bag's lost TAG. Every 5 you reunite will grant a RANK!

Psychonauts 2 description

Emotional Baggage are collectibles found in each Mental World in Psychonauts and Psychonauts 2. They are the person's emotional baggage, depicted as various kinds of bags, all of which cry continuously. For each bag, Raz can find a matching tag which resolves an emotional issue.

Bags[]

Psychonauts[]

In each Mental World, there are 5 pieces of emotional baggage and their respective tags to find: The Dufflebag, the Hatbox, the Purse, the Steamer Trunk, and the Suitcase. Reuniting each one with its respective tag unlocks a reel of the Primal Memories (concept art of the level, characters etc.) of the person they belong to. Collecting enough bags will boost Razputin's PSI-Cadet rank.

Psychonauts 2[]

Emotional Baggage returns in Psychonauts 2, with only minor changes. Since there are no primal memories, Raz instead comments on the feat when all pieces in a mind have been sorted. Additionally, Raz gains Intern Credits for every 5 pieces sorted, regardless of the mind they belong to. The tagging cutscenes have also been shortened dramatically.

Tags[]

Reunite this tag with its companion EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE to help sort it out.

Psychonauts 2 description

Tags are items found in each of the Mental worlds in Psychonauts and Psychonauts 2. They belong to the Emotional Baggage that Razputin encounters. There are five tags in each world, one for each type of emotional baggage. When all five tags have been matched up with their proper baggage, a Primal Memories reel is unlocked in the Journal menu.

Trivia[]

  • In Psychonauts, the baggage crying is always a sped-up or slowed down version of the voice of whatever character the bag belongs to. This is not the case in Psychonauts 2.
  • Using Clairvoyance on any piece of Baggage shows that they see Raz as a bellboy.
  • After Coach Oleander finishes his speech ( "...the rest of you...will DIE!"), the camera pans across the (horrified) campers, a few of which have baggage with them. Curiously, these bags are exactly the same as the Emotional ones, sans faces. Chops and Benny have steamer trunks, Clem and Quentin have dufflebags, and Milka is sitting on a suitcase.
  • There is an animation error with the dufflebag; if you look carefully, you'll notice it doesn't go all the way off the screen when exiting with its reunited tag.
  • In early versions of Psychonauts, the purse as well as its tag originally had an orange color.
  • Although the placement of Emotional Baggage in levels is often random, there are some placed near significant set pieces and events. This is more prevalent in Psychonauts 2, for instance Gristol's baggage are all part of the displays - referencing how he purposefully displays his troubled past in the exhibit - while the tags are hidden in side rooms. All of Lucrecia's luggage is located at the dam holding back Maligula.
  • Black Velvetopia and PSI King's Sensorium are the only two mental worlds were the bags have a different texturing or coloring
    • In Black Velvetopia they feature a more darker tone or certain parts being in a muted color scale. On the other hand, PSI King's Sensorium features a more bright but somewhat cartoony colors including the cel-shading style on top of all that.
