High On Life Starter Guide

How many guns are in the High On Life?

There are four different guns in the game, each has a different primary fire as well as a secondary fire. There is also Knifey the Knife. The weapons are as follows:

• Kenny the pistol
• Gus the shotgun
• Sweezy the super combine
• Creature the creature
• Knifey the knife

Each gun has a different ability that will assist with the exploration of the world as well as in combat. These abilities will allow you to flip platforms, create platforms in glowing red walls, create Time Bubbles to slow momentum, and travel through tunnels/tamper with electronics. Knifey can also be used as a whip/grappling hook to navigate the world.

What do I do with the Purple Chests?

Chests in High On Life are called Luglox. Each area of the game has a certain number of Luglox that can be opened when you get access to Knifey. The Luglox can contain inside them Pesos, gun upgrades, or other collectibles such as the Collectible Cards. 

How many Luglox are there in each region?

The game breaks up the Loglox not just by major region, such as what planet they're on, but also divides them by the different sections on each planet. For example Blim City might have 15 Luglox, but they're separated between Downtown and Blorto's. This is easy enough at the start of the game but as regions become larger like Zephyr Paradise it can be difficult to keep track of what you found where. At any time you can check how many of each Luglox you have per region by accessing your Bounty Hunting Warp Door in your house. The totals for each region are as follows:

All regions

• Nova Sanctus
  • Blim City - 15
  • Slums - 26
• Zephyr Paradise
  • Deep Jungle - 34
  • Upper Valley - 32
• Port Terrene
  • Dreg Town - 36
  • Old Town - 27
  • Outskirts - 9
• Unknown Sector

What do you use Warp Crystals for?

After defeating the third bounty you'll gain access to Blorto's shop. You can come here and trade in your Warp Crustals for Warp Discs. The Warp Discs for sale and their prices are:

• Cutie Town Warp Disc - 0 Warp Crystals
• Movie Theater Warp Disc - 3 Warp Crystals
• Skate Park Warp Disc - 8 Warp Crystals
• Trolley Tracks Warp Disc - 5 Warp Crystals
• Toilet Warp Disc - 5 Warp Crystals
• Quiet Cottage Warp Disc - 10 Warp Crystals

Once you have purchased the Warp Discs you can travel to the Outskirts of Port Terrene to activate these Warp Discs. Each is something to experience for fun, or contains a small minigame to play.
