While there aren’t many true collectibles in Life is Strange: Double Exposure, there are Polaroids to be found in each chapter. Not only can💙 they help pull together the disjointed parts of the story, but you can also earn yourself a few achievements.
One achievement is for getting all of the Polaroids in each chapter, and you’ll get another one for gathering up all of the Polaroids from every chapter overall. It can be tricky since they’re easy to overlook, but we’ve got you covered with this full guide on how to find all of the Polaroids in Chapter 2.
All Polaroid locations in Chapter 2 of Life is Strange: Double Exposure
There are five Polaroids to be found in Chapter 2, witꦬh one to be sought out in each scene. Here’s where to find them all, and how to get to them if you’re going back through Chapter Select🐟.
Polaroid #1 – Present
Chapter 2 begins with Max sitting in the Snapping Turtle with a newly resurrected Safi and her mother, discussing the book deal that Safi has been trying to make. After the cutscenes are over and you’re able to control Max, you’ll need to travel t♈o the Dead World to find the first Polaroid. This will happen naturally as the scene progresses, or you can hop over purely to get the Polaroid and then return to pick up where you left off.
The Polaroid is located in the Dead World on the table where, in Chapter 1, Reggie and Diamond wereꦕ sitting during your previous visit to the Turtle.
If you’ve already played through Chapter 2🐭 and missed this Polaroid, you can go back and pick it up through Chapter Select by selecting “Table For Three”🐲 under “Penumbra”.
Polaroid #2 – The Great Snowball War
In the next scene, once you have control of Max’s movement on the North Quad, don’t immediately begin hunting down Vinh, Gwen, or Lucas. Instead, head towards the shelter where you got the Abraxas Puzzle Box in Chapter 1.
The second Polaroid for Chapter 2 can be found on the right-han�🌠�d table, and this is the first one that features Max’s handwriting. This leads to a realization in Max, or at least the beginnings of one.
If you’re going back in via Chapter Select, you can go stra♔ight to this scene by selecting “By the Horns” under “Penumbra”. 🍌;
Polaroid #3 – Gwen’s Tires…
As you natural♌ly progress through Chapter 3, you’ll eventually find yourself heading up to the Overlook after Reggie describes seeing some bizarre things up there. On your way, you’ll need to switch between the Living World and the Dead World a few times to📖 get past obstacles and security guards.
Once you reach the Overlook itself, you’ll find the third Polaroid of Chapter 3 on the closest bench, which features an image of Gwen’s bike with deflated tires.
If you missed this Polaroid the first time around, you can dive back into this scene by selecting “Leaving Nothing Overlooked” under “Penumbra” in Chapter Selectio🌌n.
Polaroid #4 – Bitter and Sweet
After Moses confides in you that he took Safi’s camera f🔯rom the crime scene and deposited it in a secret hiding spot inside his office, you’ll start jumping between timelines to avoid detection by Detective Alderman. While you’re doing this, make sure to pick up the fourth Polaroid.
It can be found inside Moses’ office, but you’ll need to be in the Dead World for it to show up. While in the Dead World, head towards the door separating you from Moses and Detective Aldermꦏan, and look left towards the three PC monit𝔉ors that are turned on. To the left of these screens, you’ll find the fourth Polaroid.
This scene can be accessed ✨through Chapter Seꦍlect by choosing “Avoiding Detection” under “Penumbra”.
Polaroid #5 – Horror Movie Night
The♕ fifth and final Polaroid of Chapter 2 can be found once you’ve rescued Safi’s camera (and Moses, in the process), and are back at Max’s house to look at the images on the camera. However, if you don’t do🐭 things in a particular order, you can miss out on this Polaroid easily.
While in Max’s house, approach the back door to trigger a cutscene of a cat meowing on the other side. While I know it’s tempting to immediately rush to the door to let the kitty in, you need to hold off a second to pick🍌 up the Polaroid. It’s located on top of the sideboard to the left of the back door.
If you missed out on this Polaroid because you spiritually sprinted towards the cat at the door (I speak from expe♏rience), then you can get back to this scene by selecting “Photo Finished” under “Penumbra” in the Chapter Selection menu.
