After finally unlocking the Principal Door and sliding through a long tunnel in Hello Neighbor 2, Quentin will find himself in a new area full of giant gears. The location almost seems similar to the insides of a clock tower because of the giant clock pendulum players will encounter upon arriving.

The main objective in the final chapter of Hello Neighbor 2 Back to School DLC is to solve a puzzle and activate the clock pendulum. In the end, players will be rewarded with a heartwarming moment between the Janitor and his three dogs outside the school’s gate.

Finding all gears requires unlocking the Principal Door in Hello Neighbor 2 as the puzzle is located underneath the school’s grounds, which is accessible after unlocking the door. Upon reaching the end of the clock tower, a mechanism will appear, and four colored gears are missing. The mechanism will be in a large circular room guarded by one of the Janitor dogs. The room has four doors, each one containing a gear.
