Moving Out 2 contains 5 areas divided into a total of 57 levels. In all levels you can earn up to 5 stars for completing main objectives and optional objectives. 2 stars can be earned for completing the level under specific time requirements, 3 stars can be earned for completing optional objectives.
Main objectives can be tracked immediately the first time you play through a level, optional objectives can only be tracked once you’ve earned at least one main objective star. However, with the list below, you can immediately start working towards the optional objectives the first time you play through the levels. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t give confirmation when completing an optional objective, so you must finish the level to find out what you completed.
Speaking of which, you must finish the level for any objective to properly register. Quitting the level doesn’t save any progress towards any objective. For the Platinum trophy, you must earn at least 200 out of the 266 stars available in the game (see Moving Out 2 Trophy Guide & Roadmap). This means you can skip any 66 optional objectives and go for easier ones. It is also highly recommended to play the game with Assist Mode turned on to make some of the nastiest side objectives more tolerable, especially if you play solo.
It’s best to combine optional objectives with Collectibles to not have to replay the levels later. So while you work on this also check Moving Out 2 All Collectible Locations.

Boxwood Farm’s – Best friends forever: Throw every animal into the sheep pin, and I mean every animal, this includes the turtle and yourself, then put them where they belong, you’ll probably have to jump into the cow pin to get chickens back into the sheep pin.
Hibernation Hostel’s – 3 acorns: take the 2 acorns you find normally and put them into your truck, then grab the larger one from the bottom left of the acorn room and put that in your truck.
Mystic Mansion – time: smack all the clocks faces to set off the cucu part of it.
FranciRoosters says
Thanks for this!
alfredmoody says
Boxwood Farm’s – Best friends forever: I can’t get it. First, how can you throw the sheep into the sheep pin? it will turn gold and complete a move, or do you mean throw the sheep to cow pin? Second, how do you put them back into their pin? There’re gates needed to be open, can I drop them and open the gate?
alfredmoody says
I managed to get it for the second try, the only difference is I didn’t throw the animal back to their pin and when they were in the sheep pin, sheep were in the cow pin but at the time all animal in the cow/sheep pin, 2 sheep were turned to gold and disappeared already ;p
FranciRoosters says
Thanks so much for this! I never would’ve thought you had to do that for Best Friends Forever.
Missi the Acheivement huntress says
Hi,
Ty for the awesome guide. I started one but gave up after not knowing a few of them in the first 2 areas. you wrote above that you need confirmation for the best friends objective. I can help with confirmation if you have an idea of what to do. This was one of those I was clueless about.
Missi the Acheivement huntress says
B 8 2 Reez:
Reveal the Flamingo: ??? (needs confirmation) – A globe in the top middle has at the back side a handle to move it around counter clockwise.
The Dronies:
Swap pot plants: ??? (needs confirmation) – There are 2 big pot plants, you need to swap those. One is in the living room on the second floor and the other is in the other house in the bedroom on the second floor.
Indiana Drones:
Smash all the globes – You have to smash also the domes that aren’t there at first but keep running over the buttons till on both sides 2 extra domes have popped up. smash those as well.
FranciRoosters says
Thank you for this, truly appreciated!
k0 says
Indiana Drones – ypu need to break the globes before the next one pops up
Matthew says
Treetop Train Town – Only drive clockwise is bugged for me.
HAILtoSTARSCREAM says
Small correction/feedback: the sink in Billie’s Bungalor needs to be put on the truck. Your guide only says to remove it from the wall.
FranciRoosters says
Thank you, guide updated!
Missi the Acheivement huntress says
In Cranky Gardens there are 2 umbrellas you can use to get stuff in the truck.. but I struggle with the big plants that are kind of a U. I have no idea how you get those across them.
J says
If you play with two players you can throw those big plants at the umbrellas too. I’ve not figured out how to get them across in single player. I ended up connecting a second controller and doing it that way. It takes some finagling, but definitely possible to do on your own using two controllers/characters
FranciRoosters says
There still should be a relatively accessible way to do this solo.
Phil says
You have to move the large items with the fans. I jumped off while holding the item and then released it midair. From the left platform directly into the truck and from the middle platform to the left platform
Gski says
‘Only drive Clockwise’ in Treetop Train Town in Middle Folkmore does not work. I did it 4 times with nothing, even did an attempt going counter-clockwise to see if they just had it screwed up, still nothing.
darkmikasonfire says
chocolate streams – knock knock: slap the two open doors in the middle top, the one on the right needs to be slapped a couple times as it pops back open.
alfredmoody says
Chocolate Streams:
Knock Knock!: 2 candy doors at the above end of the middle 2 columns, just slap both doors. There’s a style crate on the roof of the door on the right, you need to slap that to make the crate drop, can’t miss if you collect the style crates.
Federico says
Hello,
In treetop train town the objective drive only clockwise is broken? I did it 3 times and is not popping. Do you know if there is something else to it?
FranciRoosters says
I don’t think there is, but this seems to be broken for many players for some reason. I’ll add a note.
Rafael says
In the Strato Tower Level, there are 9 vents and not 7. Thanks for the guide.
FranciRoosters says
You’re right, thanks for this!
alfredmoody says
The star count of the Optional Objective is also broken.
I missed 3 stars but the main menu shows 266/266.
Cranky Gardens: Don’t carry any movables across crank platform (don’t know how to do it)
Bounce Bungalow: Don’t bring any items through the one-way doors (I am playing solo, so it can’t be done)
Treetop Train Town: Only drive clockwise (it didn’t pop)
It was done in PS4 and I am going to play it again in PS5 to see how the star counts.
FranciRoosters says
The optional objective in Bounce Bungalow may indeed a require a co-op partner, but there still might be way to do it solo I haven’t figured out yet. As for the one in Treetop Train Town, it seems to be bugged for many.
Day says
Cranky Gardens
1. Don’t carry any movables across crank platform: you need to bounce objects throw the umbrellas and use the fan to move items from the platforms that don’t connect.
FranciRoosters says
I tried this, but I didn’t get the optional objective. I couldn’t figure out how to make the heavier objects bounce.
alfredmoody says
Just a thought. Tried moving(pushing) the heavy items but not crossing to the crank platform, then move the platforms and collect it from the trunk platform (also not crossing the line to crank platform), but still somehow not count.
Amitoj kang says
You need to pivot and throw all the small and big movables across the level to the umbrellas to clear the objective. The big ones can only be taken to the umbrella on the top left though.
Gav says
On Cloudy Labs how do you get the item from the pill shaped room with the door that goes halfway down without throwing it?
I’m sure we’re missing something but I can’t work it out!
alfredmoody says
Not sure which room are you talking about, is it on the top-right one? There’re two paths, one on the right and the left one has a switch that build a bridge with dim colour.
Scatty says
I think you’re talking about the toilet? Door is just going down halfway I also cant get the toilet out without throwing and it will cancel the challenge of “do not throw anything”
DRKrumpet says
I don’t think this is the intentional solution, but we took the bookcase from the bottom right and got that into the bathroom with it leaning against the door, making a very janky and temperamental ramp.
Scatty says
Sushi Gardens: Don’t break any windows: so far the hardest for me
There are small glass near the landing and need to throw all items over the moving platforms and most items are heavy ugh
HackingOn says
Did you figure it out? I can’t either
iw says
Those glasses don’t count, only the actual windows. We were able to get the achievement.
Brittany says
Cranky Gardens – deliver everything using the fans to move you from platform to platform
Xiomara says
For cranky gardens, husband and I just completed #1. It just means you have to use wind and umbrellas to deliver everything. You can’t cross the caution thresholds on the crank platform while holding any movables.
Michael says
Can confirm for Cranky Gardens you need to use the fans to move the heavy objects into the truck use the top fan to to left of the uppermost right platform to get across to the other platform then use the one below you to get blown into the truck
