Special Event Bosses

Follow this guide to uncover all secrets in Tales of the Neon Sea, including missable files, achievements, and crucial choices that impact your playthrough.

This section of the guide covers the "Uncovering Buried Secrets" chapter in Tales of the Neon Sea. It details the locations of three missable Image & Text Files and three Achievements, with a critical choice affecting which two of the three Achievements you can unlock in a single playthrough.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Rescuing Charles:
    1. Inspect the files on the whiteboard to find the "The End (5/8) - Robot Puppets" File.
  2. 2
    Interact with the large life support device and then the computer. Read all files on the PC desktop, especially the diagram on the far right.
  3. 3
    Interact with the chain console control panel on the far left. Adjust the height of the coloured lamps to match the diagram from the computer using the first three buttons: press the purple/orange button twice, the yellow/green button once, and the blue button twice.
  4. 4
    Descend the stairs that appear.
  5. 5
    In the Secret Corridor, examine the diary to the right of the doorway.
  6. 6
    Head left into the secret room. Examine the Beta Type Consciousness Transmission Device to find the "The End (6/8) - The Research Information of Consciousness Transmission Device" File.
  7. 7
    Speak with Charles.
  8. 8
    Grab the Crowbar at the far right of the room.
  9. 9
    Use the Crowbar on Charles's holding cell door. This will unlock the "The Story of Rescuing the White Mustache" Trophy/Achievement.
  • Decision Time:
    1. You will be presented with two questions. The first choice has no impact, but the second choice determines which of two Achievements you unlock. You can reload an earlier save file to unlock both in separate playthroughs.
    2. Turn it off: Choosing to "Turn off the equipment" unlocks the "The Liberation" Trophy/Achievement and the "The End (7/8) - The History Between Edward and Luna" File.
    3. Keep it on: Choosing to "Leave the equipment on" unlocks the "The Benevolence" Trophy/Achievement. This choice prevents you from unlocking the "The End (7/8)" File.
  • The Final Confrontation:
    1. Head back down to the secret room where you rescued Charles. There is no turning back after this point.
    • Tips
    • Two of the Image & Text Files are missable and require diligent inspection of objects.
    • One Image & Text File is tied to a specific choice during the "Decision Time" section.
    • You cannot unlock both "The Liberation" and "The Benevolence" Achievements in a single playthrough. Reloading an earlier save file is necessary to obtain both.
