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

This section of the walkthrough for Tales of the Neon Sea covers the 'Uncovering Buried Secrets' chapter. 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. You must choose between two Achievements, as they are mutually exclusive within a single playthrough; reloading a save is necessary to unlock both.

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, which is a clue for a code.
  3. 3
    Interact with the chain console control panel. Adjust the height of the coloured lamps to match the diagram from the computer by pressing the buttons: purple/orange button twice, yellow/green button once, and blue button twice.
  4. 4
    Descend the stairs that appear.
  5. 5
    In the Secret Corridor, examine the courier clothes if desired, then enter the doorway on the far left.
  6. 6
    In the new secret room, examine the diary.
  7. 7
    Continue left and inspect the Beta Type Consciousness Transmission Device to find the 'The End (6/8) | The Research Information of Consciousness Transmission Device' File.
  8. 8
    Speak with Charles.
  9. 9
    Go to the far right of the room and grab the Crowbar.
  10. 10
    Return to Charles and use the Crowbar on the holding cell door. After a scene, you will unlock the 'The Story of Rescuing the White Mustache' Trophy/Achievement.
  • Decision Time:
    1. You will be presented with two questions. The first answer has no impact. The second choice determines which of two Achievements you unlock. You cannot unlock both in one playthrough without reloading.
    2. Turn it off:
      1. Choosing to 'Turn off the equipment' unlocks 'The Liberation' Trophy/Achievement.
      2. This choice also unlocks the 'The End (7/8) | The History Between Edward and Luna' File.
      3. Interact with the life support device. You can then proceed to 'The Final Confrontation'.
    3. Keep it on:
      1. Choosing to 'Leave the equipment on' unlocks 'The Benevolence' Trophy/Achievement.
      2. No other interaction is required for this choice, but you will not unlock the associated endgame File.
      3. You can then proceed to 'The Final Confrontation'.
  • The Final Confrontation:
    1. 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.
    • Tips
    • The three Image & Text Files in this section are missable.
    • You must make a choice between two Achievements ('The Liberation' and 'The Benevolence'), as they are mutually exclusive. Reloading an earlier save file is required to unlock both.
    • One of the new endgame Files is tied to the choice made in 'Decision Time'.
