Follow our comprehensive guide to Uncovering Buried Secrets in Tales of the Neon Sea. Find all missable files, unlock achievements, and make crucial decisions.

This section of the walkthrough covers the 'Uncovering Buried Secrets' part of Tales of the Neon Sea. It details the location of 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 make a choice between two Achievements, and cannot unlock both in a single playthrough without reloading a save file.

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 to its right. Read all files on the PC desktop, especially the diagram on the far right. Return to the far left of the lab and interact with the chain console control panel. Adjust the height of the colored lamps to match the diagram by pressing the buttons: purple/orange button twice, yellow/green button once, and blue button twice. Head down the stairs that appear. In the Secret Corridor, examine the courier clothes if desired, then enter the doorway at the far left. In the secret room, examine the diary and then 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 of the room. Return to Charles and use the Crowbar on the holding cell door. This will 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. The second choice determines which of two Achievements you unlock: 'The Liberation' or 'The Benevolence'. You cannot get both without reloading a save. Choosing to 'Turn off the equipment' unlocks 'The Liberation' Achievement and 'The End (7/8) - The History Between Edward and Luna' File. Choosing to 'Leave the equipment on' unlocks 'The Benevolence' Achievement but you will miss out on a File.
  3. 3
    The Final Confrontation: Regardless of your choice, head back down to the secret room where you rescued Charles. There is no turning back once you descend the stairs.
