Tormented Souls 2 Apple Seeds: Where to Find Them and Grow the Apple

Few items in the school section are as easy to overlook as the Tormented Souls 2 apple seeds. They sit on a desk in a room you have no other reason to search, and the puzzle they unlock gates one of the four animal figurines required for the Master Key. Miss the Tormented Souls 2 apple seeds and you are looking at a backtracking trip through the classrooms, the VHS past, and the Other Side.

This guide covers exactly where the seeds are, what else you need before they will sprout, the order of steps for the time-travel puzzle, and what the reward ultimately unlocks. If you are new to the game, the official Tormented Souls 2 Steam page is the best place to confirm platform details before you dive in.

Where to Find the Tormented Souls 2 Apple Seeds

The seeds are in Classroom 204, sitting on the teacher's desk. You do not need a tool, a key, or a fuse to pick them up — walking up and interacting is enough.

Two things trip players up here:

• Classroom 204 is not Classroom 103. The teacher who actually wants the apple is in Classroom 103. The seeds are in a different room entirely, which is why the request can feel impossible at first.
• The seeds do nothing on their own. They cannot be planted in the present-day school. They only become useful once you travel into the past.

Community puzzle guides consistently list the teacher's desk in Classroom 204 as the seed location, so if you have already cleared the school and did not grab them, that is the room to revisit.

Before You Plant: The Tape and the Player

You cannot grow anything in the present. The Tormented Souls 2 apple seeds have to be planted in the school's past, and reaching that version of the school requires a specific VHS tape.

Grab the seeds in Classroom 204 and the tape in Classroom 104 on the same sweep through the school if you can. Both rooms are part of the normal classroom loop, and carrying them together saves a return trip.

The VHS player itself lives in the Art & Music Room, which is also where the sheet music and xylophone poster hint for the Beethoven statue puzzle can be found. If you have already been using that room for the FACEDEAD xylophone sequence, you know exactly where to go.

Growing the Apple Step by Step

Here is the full sequence, in the order the puzzle expects:

1. Pick up the seeds from the teacher's desk in Classroom 204.
2. Pick up the Playground VHS tape in Classroom 104 if you have not already.
3. Go to the Art & Music Room and use the tape on the VHS player to travel into the school's past.
4. Place the seeds in the pot while you are in the past version of the playground area.
5. Pull the table under the shower so the pot gets watered. This is the step most players miss — the seeds will not grow without it.
6. Return to the present by stepping back through the time shift.
7. Collect the grown apple from the pot.
8. Give the apple to the teacher in Classroom 103, who hands over the Snake Figurine in return.

There is no combat or boss encounter attached to this puzzle. It is purely an item-and-order puzzle, which makes it a good one to finish while you are already routing between classrooms for the fuses and the Computer Lab key.

What the Snake Figurine Unlocks

The apple itself is not the point — the Snake Figurine is. It is one of four figurines that go onto the wooden stand in the Science Lab, and that puzzle produces the Master Key.

The correct placement order follows the food chain, matching the "the strong eat the weak" hint written on the blackboard:

• Hawk — Classroom 202 (birdcage puzzle on the Other Side)
• Snake — the teacher's reward in Classroom 103
• Toad — Classroom 203, Other Side
• Fly — Girls' Restroom, using the filled insecticide sprayer on the Other Side toilet

If the Tormented Souls 2 apple seeds are skipped, you cannot complete this stand, which means no Master Key, which means both Master Lock puzzles stay closed. That includes the cupboard in the Computer Lab that holds the hand cannon's recoil spring upgrade, so the seeds quietly gate a weapon upgrade as well as progression.

Common Mistakes with the Tormented Souls 2 Apple Seeds

A few habits will keep this puzzle from turning into a headache:

• Do not search the present for a growing plant. The pot only has a useable apple after the past has been watered.
• Do not forget the shower step. Planting the seeds alone is not enough; the pot has to be moved under the shower while you are in the past.
• Do not carry the apple around. Hand it to the teacher in Classroom 103 immediately so the Snake Figurine is safely in your inventory before you move on to other school objectives.
• Check your inventory before you leave the school. Later puzzles pull you into the Other Side and back to the Convent, and it is far easier to confirm the figurine is in hand than to work out where the chain broke.
• Watch for the Other Side variant of each classroom. Several school puzzles use the mirrored version of a room, but this one is handled entirely through the VHS past, not through the mirror mechanic.

FAQ

Can I just find an apple somewhere in the school instead of using the Tormented Souls 2 apple seeds? Per the puzzle guides, no. The apple has to be grown from the seeds in the past and then collected in the present. There is no alternative apple source listed for the teacher's request.

Which classroom holds the Tormented Souls 2 apple seeds again? Classroom 204, on the teacher's desk. The teacher who requests the apple is in Classroom 103, which is a different room.

Do I need the Tormented Souls 2 apple seeds if I am only chasing weapon upgrades? Yes — indirectly. The Snake Figurine from this request is required for the animal figurine stand, which grants the Master Key, which opens the Computer Lab cupboard containing the recoil spring for the hand cannon.

Where do I play the Playground VHS tape? In the Art & Music Room, using the VHS player there. The tape itself is picked up in Classroom 104.

Final Thoughts

The Tormented Souls 2 apple seeds are a small item with an outsized role in the school section. Grab them from Classroom 204, pair them with the Playground VHS tape from Classroom 104, water the pot in the past, and hand the grown apple to the teacher in Classroom 103. That short loop converts a missable desk item into the Snake Figurine — and the Snake Figurine into the Master Key that keeps the rest of the school opening up.
