True Ending Guide

Guide to uncovering buried secrets in Tales of the Neon Sea. Learn how to find missable files, unlock achievements, and make crucial decisions for the true ending.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Rescuing Charles:
    1. Inspect the files on the whiteboard to find the File "The End (5/8) - Robot Puppets".
  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. Adjust the coloured lamps to match the diagram from the computer: press the purple/orange button twice, the yellow/green button once, and the blue button twice.
  4. 4
    Descend the newly revealed stairs into the Secret Corridor.
  5. 5
    Enter the doorway at the far left end of the hall into another secret room.
  6. 6
    Examine the diary to the right of the doorway.
  7. 7
    Inspect the Beta Type Consciousness Transmission Device to find the File "The End (6/8) - The Research Information of Consciousness Transmission Device".
  8. 8
    Speak with Charles.
  9. 9
    Grab the Crowbar at the far right end of the room.
  10. 10
    Use the Crowbar on Charles's holding cell door. This unlocks the Achievement "The Story of Rescuing the White Mustache".
  • 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.
    2. To unlock the File "The End (7/8) - The History Between Edward and Luna" and the Achievement "The Liberation", choose to "Turn off the equipment".
    3. To unlock the Achievement "The Benevolence", choose to "Leave the equipment on".
    4. You cannot unlock both Achievements in a single playthrough. Reload an earlier save file (labeled "Inside a secret room") to make the other choice.
  • The Final Confrontation:
    1. Head back down to the secret room where you rescued Charles. There is no turning back after this point.
    • Tips
    • There are three missable Image & Text Files in this section.
    • There are three Achievements in this section, but you can only unlock two per playthrough due to a choice.
    • Reloading an earlier save is required to unlock all Achievements and collect all missable Files.
    • Three missable Image & Text Files.
    • Three Achievements: "The Story of Rescuing the White Mustache", "The Liberation" (tied to turning off equipment), and "The Benevolence" (tied to leaving equipment on).
