In High on Life 2, figuring out how to get past the security guard serves as your first taste of the game’s approach to consequences—or lack thereof. You might feel a twinge of empathy when the guard reveals it’s his last day before retirement and insists he can’t let you through because he takes his job seriously.

Of course, you could just take him out, but if you’re looking for a way to bypass him without resorting to violence, I’ve got you covered. Here are your options.

One straightforward method to get past the elderly guard is to lure him to one side of the doorway, then switch to Sweezy and hit him with the time-slow bubble. This allows you to slip by, but it doesn’t actually resolve the issue of needing his keycard to access the door behind him.

You could try pressing the button, but he’ll zap you with a stun gun and refuse to let you through after a few attempts.

There are several ways to snag his keycard that don’t involve using Sweezy’s time-slow ability to get past him. Here’s what you can do:

If you want to explore these options, remember you can always reload your last checkpoint. Now, are there any real consequences for taking out the security guard? Not that I noticed. High on Life, much like Rick and Morty, isn’t focused on the repercussions of your actions, so if you feel like going full chaos and taking out the old guard, go for it!
