Hello Neighbor 2 expands the eerie stealth horror experience where players unravel the disappearance of several children. This guide walks through riddles, puzzle solutions, key locations, and story items to help players unlock every door and progress through the beta world.
The game is currently in development, and the beta version is available to pre-order owners. This guide will be updated after the full release to reflect final content and mechanics.
Passage “Hello Neighbor 2” (Hello Neighbor 2 beta). How to escape the shed
After the opening cutscene, locate the key mounted on the wall and use it to open the door. Ascend to the attic, pick up the camera, then descend. Approach the window to trigger a cutscene. Wait for the raven to break through the door, then step outside into the unknown.
How to deal with the raven. Why can’t I pass?
Enter the office and study the building beside the police car for a hint from the game. If you attempt to take a different route, the raven may grab you, especially on the stairs near the bakery. If that happens, reload a previous save to avoid a dead end. You will reappear and face a quick death otherwise.
Follow the path to the house and watch the window. Wait for the officer to look away, then sneak into the room and steal the key from his belt. If the officer notices the theft, he will reclaim the key. Open the patrol car door and press the red button to sound the siren, drawing the officer away.
With the officer distracted, return to the room he is inspecting and open the main door to access the basement. Press and hold the action button, releasing only when the door yields. Pick up the crowbar on the wall, then break the wooden planks on the door. Inspect the hole and the folder on the tree. This sequence returns the player to the office.
How to reach a neighbor’s house and how to open your own door
In the beta, inventory and item swapping may be limited, so the crowbar could appear missing in the hands. It remains in the inventory and can be deployed once selected. To access it, pick up a nearby object and drop it to the ground. Head to the bakery to grab a token from the kitchen; this item proves useful in traversal.
After that, return to the house and break the door planks. Take the camera and the tracking device; they’re optional tools that can aid progression.
Return to the street and follow the dirt road toward the broken sign to the left of the house. If the raven blocks entry, choose the bakery kitchen route. Climb up and find a floor hole on the left. Inspect the painting to the right of the door, which depicts a man holding a key.
Open the window and step outside. Turn right, circumvent the back of the house, and avoid the asphalt path that attracts the raven. Look for the mansion above the neighbor’s home. A dog roams nearby. Climb the bushes in front of the statue to claim the key. Be careful with the dog. Return to the house and unlock the door. Ascend to the second floor on the left, locate the boarded door, and remove the shelves. If the camera is in possession, install it on the second floor in the main hall.
Inside, the player will encounter a teddy bear, a fish, and a wild boar. The missing pieces must be found to complete the puzzle.
Back in the bakery, inspect the kitchen table in the second room. Retrieve the lock pick and activate the alarm. When the baker heads to the kitchen, open the drawer to obtain a key. Use this key on the first floor in the neighbor’s house. The boar head is inside the fridge.
How to locate the fish head
Exit the building and follow the path between the neighbor’s house and the bakery toward the hunting cabin behind the hangar. The area is largely unfenced. Approach the main entrance, read the mailbox instructions, and open the door. Observe as the man notices you, then circle the house to reach the basement. A door on the right side requires an instruction placed on the table; hide nearby. If he returns with a head, follow him outside and wait for him to set it by the target before leaving with the article.
How to find the bear’s head
To obtain the bear head, enter an expensive mansion whose key was previously found. Move through the main entry, turn right, and distract the man by opening the right-hand door near the stairs. While he investigates, slip under the stairs into the left room. Open the jukebox, remove the records, and let them fall onto the floor.
Hide in a closet as the owner attempts to start the music. He proceeds to the second floor. Follow him, pass through the door near the stairs, and locate the PLAY labeled record on the bookshelf. Place the record in one of the jukebox compartments, close the lid, and press the button. After a while the owner will reappear and head back upstairs. Enter the bedroom before the door closes. If he falls asleep, grab the bear head and exit the house.
How to reach the attic
Place the three heads in the designated second-floor room. A display case with a ladder lever will unlock. Take the lever and wait for the neighbor to descend to the first floor. A camera can help in this step. Directly above the television, a staircase leads to the attic. Use the lever to complete the journey.
