Detailed walkthrough for Tales of the Neon Sea's 'Uncovering Buried Secrets' chapter. Find Image & Text Files, unlock achievements, and make crucial decisions.
Walkthrough
- 1In the secret lab, inspect files on the whiteboard to find 'The End (5/8) - Robot Puppets'.
- 2Interact with the large life support device and then the computer. Read all files on the PC desktop, paying attention to the diagram on the far right.
- 3Go to the far left of the lab and interact with the chain console control panel.
- 4Adjust the lamps to match the diagram from the computer: press the purple/orange button twice, the yellow/green button once, and the blue button twice. The order does not matter.
- 5Descend the newly revealed stairs into a Secret Corridor.
- 6Examine the diary to the right of the doorway.
- 7Continue left into another secret room. Examine the Beta Type Consciousness Transmission Device to find 'The End (6/8) - The Research Information of Consciousness Transmission Device'.
- 8Speak with Charles.
- 9Go to the far right of the room, grab the Crowbar.
- 10Return to Charles and use the Crowbar on the holding cell door to free him. This unlocks the 'The Story of Rescuing the White Mustache' Achievement.
- 11You will be presented with two choices regarding the life support equipment. The first choice has no impact, but the second choice determines which of two Achievements you unlock and whether you get a new File.
- 12Choice 1: Turn off the equipment - Unlocks 'The Liberation' Achievement and 'The End (7/8) - The History Between Edward and Luna' File.
- 13Choice 2: Leave the equipment on - Unlocks 'The Benevolence' Achievement. You will miss out on a File.
- 14After your choice, head back down the stairs to the secret room to proceed to 'The Final Confrontation'.
