You can get the first one even while you are trying to open the front door in the first game quest. Once you are up in the Stair Hall, go through the doors to the Reception first. Be careful not to get too close to the front door, or you’ll trigger the cutscene. When you get to Reception, head to the window and grab theRubber Stamp, the first Lagniappe that you need to unlock the shotgun.

The last Lagniappe in this collection is a little trickier. You can’t get it right away since it is locked behind the wedged door in the drawing room. Once you are back from the Oil Rig dream sequence with Jeremy’s bag after completing theAstronomical clock puzzle, you’ll get a Palette knife. You’ll use this to open the door. TheDog Collarcan be found on a shelf of a table all the way to the back of the room underneath a window.
