The Back to School DLC in Hello Neighbor 2 takes place in Raven Brooks' schoolhouse. Raven Brooks’ rumors point out that the school is the location where the town’s kids were last seen before going missing. In an attempt to prove his suspicions about his neighbors, Quentin once again searches for evidence.
However, the reporter's mission isn’t easy, since The Janitor and his three dogs are guarding the schoolhouse grounds in Hello Neighbor 2. This is why Quentin is extra cautious while investigating the school’s properties, as the Caretaker isn’t a fan of trespassers. Moreover, Quentin needs to solve the Theater’s puzzle in order to reach the Clock Tower's generator and operate it.
How To Solve The Theater Lights Puzzle In Hello Neighbor 2 Back To School DLC
In order to solve the Theater light puzzle, players need to find the three missing Stage Lights and three paint spray cans in Hello Neighbor 2 Back to School DLC. Locating these lights allows players to open the Theater’s backstage door, which leads to the generator that operates the Clock Tower mechanics. Climbing the Tower’s moving platforms allows players to reach the Clock’s generator, which operates it, and send The Janitor and his dogs to sleep.
The First Stage Light Location
The first Stage Light is in the Theater room behind the closed stage curtains. To grab it, players should:
- Head to the Theater room.
- Go to the tall wooden chair.
- Pull the Lever behind it.
- Grab the first Stage Light from the stage.
The Second Stage Light Location
The Second Stage Light is located in the schoolhouse Attic in Hello Neighbor 2. To reach the Attic, players need to:
- Go to the schoolhouse's first floor.
- Solve the classroom puzzle by melting the ice that’s blocking the board from moving.
- Go to the schoolhouse's first floor.
- Head to the room with a locked cage.
- Type in the password (5223) acquired from the classroom puzzle to unlock the door.
- Jump on the platforms to reach the Attic opening on the wall.
- Remove the wooden planks blocking the Attic entrance with a Crowbar (the Crowbar is in the art classroom).
Next, players will find the second Stage Light behind a blocked door in the Hello Neighbor 2 DLC. To reach it, do the following:
- Climb the small wooden plank in front of the Clock Tower’s door.
- Jump to the platform across it, then jump in the small fence opening to enter where the Stage Light is.
- Place the Stage Light in the inventory.
- Take the same path to get out.
The Third Stage Light Location
The third Stage Light is found in The Caretaker's bedroom in Hello Neighbor 2 Back to School DLC. To get it, players need to:
- Give the dog in the backyard a toy to get the shed’s key.
- Unlock the shed.
- Descend to the bedroom within the shed’s walls.
- Get the third Stage Light from the bedroom’s desk.
Where To Find The Paint Spray Cans
After finding the missing Stage Lights, players need to locate the three paint spray cans. The cans are at different places but can be found easily.
- The Red Paint Spray Can: Found in the art classroom of the school building.
- The Blue Paint Spray Can: Located in the room with a password-protected door on the second floor.
- The Green Paint Spray Can: Collected from the small locked shed near the backyard where the white dog is guarding. To open the shed, players need to solve the chemistry lab puzzle and get the key from the plant's mouth in Hello Neighbor 2.
How To Solve The Theater Puzzle
Solving the Theater puzzle is easy as the solution is found within the Theater’s grounds. In the room’s corner, there is a miniature cardboard version of how the Theater should look like. Take a peek at it and fix the Theater accordingly. To do so:
- Get the Stage Lights from the item’s inventory in Hello Neighbor 2.
- Head to the light stand in front of the Theater to place the first light on it.
- Take out the red spray can and spray the Stage Light.
- Take the stairs that lead to the Theater’s roof.
- Go to the open shed on the roof.
- Place the second light next to the shed’s door, then spray it with the blue spray can.
- Place the third light on the other side of the shed, then spray it with the green spray can.
After mimicking the mini cardboard stage correctly, players should pull the lever behind the long chair again to turn the Theater’s backstage door light green. It is important to note that players need to be careful when spraying the Stage Lights since the Theater's backstage door won't open unless the Stage Lights are sprayed properly with the right colors.
Hello Neighbor 2 is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
