Guide to Tales of the Neon Sea's 'Uncovering Buried Secrets' chapter. Find missable files, unlock achievements, and make critical decisions affecting the story.

This section of the guide covers the 'Uncovering Buried Secrets' chapter in Tales of the Neon Sea. It details how to find three missable Image & Text Files and three Achievements. Two files require careful inspection, while the third is tied to a specific choice that also unlocks an Achievement. Note that you must choose between two specific Achievements, and reloading a save file is necessary to unlock both in a single playthrough.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Rescuing Charles: Inspect the files on the whiteboard to find 'The End (5/8) - Robot Puppets'. 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, which is a clue for a code. Return to the far left and interact with the chain console control panel. Adjust the coloured lamps to match the diagram by pressing the buttons: purple/orange (far left) twice, yellow/green (middle) once, and blue (second from right) twice. This will reveal stairs leading down. In the Secret Corridor, examine the courier clothes if desired, then enter the doorway at the far left. In the new secret room, examine the diary. Continue left and inspect the Beta Type Consciousness Transmission Device to find 'The End (6/8) - The Research Information of Consciousness Transmission Device'. Speak with Charles, then grab the Crowbar at the far right. Use the Crowbar on Charles's holding cell door to unlock the 'The Story of Rescuing the White Mustache' Trophy/Achievement.
  2. 2
    Decision Time: You will be presented with two questions. The first answer has no impact, but the second choice determines which of two Achievements you unlock. You cannot get both in one playthrough without reloading.
  3. 3
    Turn it off: Choosing to 'Turn off the equipment' unlocks 'The Liberation' Trophy/Achievement and the 'The End (7/8) - The History Between Edward and Luna' File. You can then skip to 'The Final Confrontation'.
  4. 4
    Keep it on: Choosing to 'Leave the equipment on' unlocks 'The Benevolence' Trophy/Achievement. You will not be able to unlock the specific endgame File associated with the other choice. You can then skip to 'The Final Confrontation'.
  5. 5
    The Final Confrontation: Regardless of your choice, you will need to return to the secret room where Charles was rescued. Head down the stairs when ready.
