–Ford Cruller
Invisibility is the psychic ability to turn invisible to the naked eye. The psychic can still be detected using infrared sensors.
Psychonauts[]
Razputin learns this ability when his PSI Cadet Rank reaches 30. Using this turns Raz completely invisible (except for a glow coming from his goggles). This skill cloaks himself from enemies, allowing him to sneak up on them, and is necessary in certain levels (one way to get into the Rainbow Squirt hideout, in the Milkman Conspiracy). This power runs on a recharging timer; when in use, the color in the merit badge will drain until empty. When not in use, the merit badge will slowly refill until it reaches complete color once more, whereupon a small sound will play, notifying that the power can be used again. At PSI Cadet Rank 60, Raz gains the upgrade Advanced Invisibility, which allows him to remain invisible for twice as long.
Uses[]
- Needed for obtaining the Golden Acorn at camp.
- Helpful for battling the Brain Tank.
- Can be used in Lungfishopolis to get past the turret.
- Needed to enter the Den Mother's house in the Milkman Conspiracy, however this can be bypassed by using Marksmanship while facing the door, which will place Raz's head through the wall and above the game trigger that opens it.
- Needed to enter Gloria's Dressing room in Gloria's Theater, however this can also be bypassed by using Marksmanship while facing the door.
- Can be used to get past the guillotine in Waterloo World.
- Needed to obtain Milka's brain.
Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin[]
The invisiblity ability does not appear in Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin, although the invisibility badge is still seen on Raz's backpack.
Psychonauts 2[]
The invisibility ability does not return in Psychonauts 2 because it isn't as "second nature" to Raz as his other powers[1]. However, some brains in the Hall of Brains have their specialty powers marked as invisibility and the invisibility badge can still be seen on Raz's old backpack.
Strategies (Psychonauts only)[]
- Invisibility is very useful in combat as it allows Raz to do many things that would ordinarily be too risky, such as running into clusters of enemies and hitting them with a Palmbomb attack.
- However, keep in mind that trying to use any of Raz's Psychic powers (with a handful of exceptions) will cancel the Invisibility power out and allow enemies to see Raz again.
- Raz can combine the Wrecking Ball Levitation upgrade with Invisibility to charge into attackers, as the Wrecking Ball's attack does not cancel out Invisibility.
Trivia[]
- The only people that can see Raz while invisible are the G-Men in the Milkman Conspiracy, as they have infra-red vision.
- Invisibility is the specialty of Milka Phage, one of the campers at Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp. Coincidentally, this ability is required to obtain her brain.
- Raz can still use invisibility even as only a brain.
- While Raz's goggles typically glow red when using invisibility, they glow blue in Black Velvetopia.
- If Raz uses invisibility around Ford, he will say: "Hey, not bad! If you didn't eat so much garlic I wouldn't even know you were here!"
