Green Needle Gulch

Green Needle Gulch is an area near The Motherlobe in Psychonauts 2. It is a wooded area containing thorny foliage rooted in the ground. It is the original meeting spot of the Psychic Six and by extension the birthplace of the Psychonauts. It is home to the Heptadome, Bob's greenhouse, Lucrecia's old house, and Cassie's Hives.

Wildlife

• Flamingos

• Bees (attack Raz on sight; to bypass them and reach Cassie's Hives, smoke the lantern at the beginning of the honey-drenched path to Cassie's base using Pyrokinesis, then pick up the lantern with Telekinesis and carry it all the way to Cassie's front door, avoiding gobs of honey so the flames don't get extinguished)
• Beavers
• Spiders

Trivia

• The area may be named after the "Green Needle/Brainstorm" phenomenon, where audio can sound different based on what you are currently thinking/sound different for different people. [1]
• For unknown reasons, The Motherlobe model, as viewed from Green Needle Gulch, is a design leftover from earlier in development. It doesn't match the Motherlobe that you can see from the Quarry or the Questionable Area.
