by

In High on Life 2, a key part of the game involves a mission where players are sent to a cruise ship hosting a murder mystery. The twist? Larry Pinkstock, the billionaire they’re supposed to eliminate, announces that this event will feature an actual murder – his own!

As expected, the moment the lights go out, a gunshot will sound, and when they come back on, Larry Pinkstock will be found dead, lying in a pool of blood. The weapon? A gun held by Travis, the man in the fedora you hired. Now, the mystery is: who actually shot Larry Pinkstock?

How to Solve the Murder of Billionaire Larry Pinkstock in High on Life 2

Once the Murder Mystery begins, you can investigate the crime scene for clues and question the four people who were with Larry Pinkstock when he died.

As you find clues, they’ll be recorded on the table in the center of the room. This table will also show you a summary of everything you’ve discovered and any conclusions you’ve reached.

You don’t have to solve the murder to continue the game. Whether you accuse the wrong person or choose not to investigate, the story will still move forward. However, if you want to earn the “Columbo in Space” trophy or achievement, you’ll need to correctly identify the killer. Keep in mind that High on Life 2 doesn’t allow you to reload saved games, so choose wisely!

Who Killed Larry Pinkstock in High on Life 2?

Once you’ve collected all the evidence, speak to each suspect individually and go through all of their conversation options to uncover the truth. The ‘Suit-o-Assist’ on the right side of the screen helps you keep track of each suspect’s motive, whether they could have used the murder weapon, and the scent Travis detected when he was affected by it.

Suspect Motive and Means Description
Admiral Sessions Motive: Yes Admiral Sessions was being blackmailed by Larry Pinkstock for issuing a military order that ordered the food supply of an entire planet to be cut off, a war crime that would ruin Admiral Sessions if it ever came to light. He had good reason to want Larry eliminated.
Can Use a Gun?: No The military service document for Admiral Sessions showed that he lost his hands in the war, which he later admitted to being true, showing that his current hands were both fake. Despite having plenty of experience with weapons, he could not have used Travis to kill Larry.
Rosy Perfume?: Yes Travis was able to smell a hint of rosy perfume from Admiral Sessions. During the investigation, it is revealed that he had prior relations with O.B. Oberon, and some of her perfume rubbed off on his body.
Richard Twelfth the Eighth Motive: Yes Prince Richard and his family were being blackmailed by Larry Pinkstock. Richard had once accidentally killed a drifter with his car, and Larry had a picture in his possession proving it. He used this blackmail to get the royals to do his bidding.
Can Use a Gun?: No Richard the Twelfth is suffering from lung problems as a result of inbreeding that prevents him from being able to handle any type of weaponry, including a gun.
Rosy Perfume?: No Richard the Twelfth did not have any rosy perfume scent on him.
Edeline Moss Motive: Yes Edeline Moss was married to Larry Pinkstock sometime in the past, and Larry stole a large part of her wealth when they separated. Edeline had plenty of motive to want him dead.
Can Use a Gun?: No Edeline Moss was suffering from Brittle Bones, a medical condition that made it impossible for her to withstand any heavy impacts without her bones snapping. She could not have used the gun.
Rosy Perfume?: No Edeline Moss did not have any rosy perfume scent on her.
O.B. Oberon Motive: Yes O.B. Oberon and her brother were sold to Rhea Pharmaceuticals by Larry Pinkstock when they were children as experimental materials. Her brother died during the process, which means she had ample reason to want Larry dead.
Can Use a Gun?: Yes The first-place trophy of the sharpshooting competition was won by someone named “Jellica Bleems.” On the milk carton, one of the missing persons was Jellica Bleems. During the investigation, it is revealed that O.B. Oberon’s original name was actually Jellica Bleems, which means she definitely knows how to use a ranged weapon.
Rosy Perfume?: Yes O.B. Oberon smelt heavily of rosy perfume, exactly the kind of perfume Travis smelt when he was being used as a murder weapon.

Admiral Sessions is a distraction in this murder case. He won’t confess to being unable to use a gun unless you have proof about his prosthetic hand. Because of this, the game will mark him as a suspect in all categories, potentially leading players to wrongly believe he’s the killer.

Each of the four suspects had a motive to kill Larry Pinkstock, but O.B. Oberon is the only one who matches all the evidence. After you’ve collected all the clues and interviewed everyone, click on the gavel in the center of the room to reveal the murderer: O.B. Oberon.

Once you identify the murderer, a recording of Larry Pinkstock will play. If you’re right, the recording will confirm your choice. If you’re wrong, it will contradict it. Then, you’ll discover the Larry Pinkstock who died wasn’t the original—he was a clone. The real Larry is still alive, and the billionaire will dramatically appear on stage to prove it.

As soon as he acts, Kreg Button, a bounty hunter, will launch a spiked chain through the ship’s window, instantly killing the actual Larry Pinkstock. This will signal other bounty hunters to swarm onto the ship, beginning the last stage of the mission.
