The Observatory is an abandoned planetarium found behind the Football Field, accessed either by the gates leading to the Football Field or via a secured gate near the library. The interior is inaccessible in free roam under normal circumstances.
According to Miss Danvers, the observatory is permanently closed for "safety reasons", but Earnest appears to have turned it into a hideout of sorts for the Nerds, fortifying it and adding a defense system consisting of a spud cannon located on top of the outer gate, and nearly inaccessible girders through which various weapons can be fired from the inside. There are large destructible models of the planets hanging from the ceiling.
Aside from cutscenes, the observatory can only be explored during Nerd Boss Fight. In fact, during free roam, the door is boarded shut. The spud cannon, however, remains operable and can be used against any students Jimmy baits into chasing him to the observatory.
Until Nerd Boss Fight is passed, access to the observatory via the football field is barricaded by a wooden wall to prevent premature access.
Mission Appearances
Trivia
- If Jimmy entered the observatory using mods during free roam, he would get a full 1/3 trouble meter for "trespassing". This may indicate that the observatory was originally going to be accessible.
- If Jimmy throws a firecracker at the observatory doors, they will get damaged. However, he cannot completely knock the doors down outside of the mission Stronghold Assault.
- When looking from the outside at the front of the building, the player can clearly see a telescope protruding from the dome. However, during Nerd Boss Fight, there is no telescope inside should the player look upwards.
