After a tiring and long battle with The Doctor and securing the Omni-Hand, your journey through Chapter 4 brings you to one of its most challenging sections – gathering and planting explosives in The Foundation.
This mission stands between you and your final confrontation with The Prototype in the labs, but it won’t be easy. The good news? We’ve mapped out every explosive location and planting spot to make this section as smooth as possible. Whether you’re stuck looking for that last explosive or just starting this section, this guide will help you complete this mission quickly.
Finding All Four Explosives in Poppy Playtime Chapter 4
First Explosive Location: This one is the easiest and most straightforward to find – the moment you enter the cavern area you will notice this explosive on top of a wooden crate.
Second Explosive Location: Go to the mine shaft right behind the broken staircase at the start of the area. Follow this way and you will be attacked with a Nighttime critter – use your flare hand to scare away the critters. Now you will notice a cave – get into the cave and you will find your second explosive here. We have attached an image above that shows the entrance of the cave so that it’s easy to spot for you.
Third Explosive Location: Continue following the cave until you spot an opening on your right containing explosive canisters. You’ll need to detonate these to clear your path. Once the way is open, squeeze through to the back section to collect your fourth and final explosive.
Fourth Explosive Location: Once you are out of the cave, you will notice that there is one way that’s blocked by boulders and stone. Place your jump pad in front of them and use your purple hand to get on the upper level – follow the path and you will find the explosive on the right side on a wooden crate.
Planting the Explosives in Poppy Playtime Chapter 4
With all four explosives collected, return to the main area. Look around the room and you’ll notice white X marks on various surfaces – these are your planting locations. But before we dive into the locations, for planting the Explosives you need to press “E” near the surface that you want to attach the explosives to.
Here’s where each explosive needs to go:
The first explosive needs to be planted on the yellow pillar in front of the broken red staircase.
The second explosive goes on the huge red-rusted tank in the area.
To the left of this tank you will notice a blue color gas pipeline, the third explosive gets planted there.
For the fourth explosive – plant it on the left yellow pillar at the start of the area.
Remember to stay alert while planting – those nightmare critters haven’t given up yet, and they might try to interrupt your work. Keep that flare gun ready just in case.
Once all explosives are properly placed, you’ll need to release the gas to move forward with the next phase of the mission. This will bring you one step closer to reaching the labs and your ultimate confrontation with The Prototype.
