Permanent Upgrades and Perks

Follow our comprehensive guide to Uncovering Buried Secrets in Tales of the Neon Sea, including finding all Image & Text Files and unlocking crucial Achievements.

This section of the guide covers the 'Uncovering Buried Secrets' chapter in Tales of the Neon Sea. It details the locations 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 affects an Achievement. You will need to make a choice between two Achievements, as they are mutually exclusive and may require reloading a save file.

    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.
