While hunting for the Douglas bounty, the player will find themselves posing as a gooped-up G3 member navigating through a rather rigorous initiation process in order to get closer to the mark. There are plenty of surprises to touch on throughout this mission, but one of the most painstaking to find is also one of this mission’s most ridiculous bits.

Waiting The Full Hour in High on Life
After passing one of the training tests that involve killing quite a few enemies, platforming, and puzzle solving, Douglas will come on screen for another instructional video. The key here is to actually ignore the video and head to the back of the room where the player can slip out. However, in the recording, Douglas demands that the G3 trainees that have made it this far must now wait a full hour before the course can continue to test their patience and resolve. So, what happens if the player actually does wait?
The answer is a bit anticlimactic. Douglas does pop up intermittently to applaud and poke fun at the player for their continued meditation. There are no achievements to be unlocked for completing this waiting period. The only acknowledgment the game offers are these brief periods of additional dialogue.
Eventually, once the full hour is up, Douglas congratulates the G3 trainee, and the door is opened. Unfortunately, the door quickly short-circuits and closes right back up.
Douglas comes on again and says that if the G3 trainee is seeing this message, it means that the door is broken and the repairman to fix it will come in a week or so. He says that there’s plenty of air in the room but no food, so the new test will be to wait until the repairman comes or starve to death.
It’s an effectively silly button for the joke that finalizes this moment. It’s up for debate whether it’s worth waiting the full hour. But any player that has made it this far into High on Life must be enthused by the humor enough to at least entertain this additional dialogue Easter egg.
High on Life is available for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
