How to Dunk the Basketball in Stray

While exploring the lost-forgotten city, you’ll go through many areas filled with cyber beings and breathtaking visuals. One place, in particular, is a location called The Slums, where you’ll be able to unlock the Boom Chat Kalaka Trophy of Stray.

Once you reach this area, go through the alleyway and talk to “The Guardian,” a bodyguard for frightened robots stood near the elevator you see in the distance at the beginning of the game.

But fret not; it will see you as friendly and let you roam freely in The Slums, giving you the chance to interact with the basketball for this trophy.

If you look to the right of The Guardian, you should see the ball near the edge of a slide-like platform, which you can utilize to “dunk” it in the trash can below.

All you need to do is push the basketball toward this trash “hoop,” and it should now give you the game’s trophy.

Don’t hit it too hard, otherwise it can bounce off-course and miss the trashcan. Just give it a very gentle nudge head-on and it should roll its way into the trashcan below.

What If You Don’t Dunk the Basketball on First Attempt?

Those who don’t accurately put the ball in the trash can try again by reloading the checkpoint. So, you can keep trying until it finally lands in the trashcan at the bottom of the ramp.

Because Stray’s auto-save system doesn’t tend to trigger until you move into a different area, you should be able to repeatedly do this. Just be aware that if you go off and complete some other objectives in the Slums and then return to this, you might end up losing some of your progress if you then reload your last checkpoint.

Always be sure to check the time the last checkpoint was made on the pause screen before doing this to be on the safe side.

Now that you know how to dunk the basketball for Stray’s Boom Chat Kalaka Trophy, you can unlock even more of its collection throughout your journey.
