Start here: how TOEM 2 works

Stamps, the bus, your three tools, and everything there is to collect along the way.

TOEM 2 is a gentle photography adventure. You ride the bus from region to region, help the locals with small problems, and they reward you with stamps. This walkthrough covers every quest and challenge in the order the regions open up, with checklists that remember what you’ve done.

The route

Region	New tool	What it’s like
Homelanda	—	Nana’s house. The tutorial: camera, jumping and your first three stamps.
Cropten	Scissors	Farm country: weeds, garden gnomes, jam and plenty of chores.
Taletorp	Hammer	A fairy-tale town with a tavern, a dungeon and a princess tower.
Deltburg	Screwdriver	A town of pipes and valves, with an aquarium, a library and a comedy club.
Whirlhill	—	The end of the trip: no quests, just the Whirling Birch Bloom.

Stamps and the bus

Each region has a bus stop looked after by Kiosky, who tells you how many stamps the next ride costs. In Homelanda it’s three; in Cropten, ten.

The journal open on the Homelanda page — The journal: quests on the left; on the right, stamps toward the next bus (1/3), compendium progress (2/4) and your sight photo.Screenshot: Ethos Love

Stamps come from three kinds of task:
1. Quests — someone has a problem; you solve it, often by bringing back the right photo.
2. Photo challenges — the photo-challenge guide gives you a riddle, and one well-chosen picture answers it.
3. Climbing challenges — a mascot in a deer mask hides a flag somewhere high up; reach it and report back.
You don’t need every stamp to move on. Whatever you skip can be finished later — even after the credits, by choosing Continue on your save.

Camera and tools

Button (controller)	What it does
Y	Raise or put away the camera.
RT	Take the picture.
X held, camera up	Focus. Focusing also reveals hidden things — shapes in the clouds, a cat in a barrel, an invisible stranger.
X, camera down	Jump.
A	Talk, pick things up, use things.

All three tools work through the camera: zoom in on whatever you want to cut, hit or turn, then press A.
1. Scissors (Cropten): snip blossoms off weeds, cut ropes, harvest apples, trim hair and fabric.
2. Hammer (Taletorp): follow the rhythm shown on screen — tap, tap, hold — to mend things. It also smashes pots, boulders and weak walls.
3. Screwdriver (Deltburg): press A on a screw slot, then turn it with the left stick. On pipe puzzles, the arrow shows where the water will flow.
Photos are your proof. Many quests end with “show me a picture”: talk to the person and pick the shot from your journal.

What there is to collect

What	How many	Tracked on
Quests	54 (3 + 17 + 18 + 16)	The four region pages
Photo challenges	4	Cropten, Taletorp and Deltburg
Climbing challenges	3	Cropten, Taletorp and Deltburg
Clothes	35	Clothes
Music tapes	11	Music tapes
Achievements	23	Achievements

Critters and sights go into your compendium as you photograph them. Two achievements ask for all of them, so it pays to point the camera at every animal you meet.

How to use this guide

Each region page opens with checklists — the quests, the challenges and the smaller errands inside some quests — and then explains every quest. Places are given by their square on the region map, as in “the top-right square” or “one square left of the tavern”.
