    Climb the stairs to speak with Robert Throgmorton. To advance, select: "What happened to your son?", "Who are the Innsmouthers?", "What do you know about the visions?", "I can try to find Albert.", "Tell me more about the case.", "I'll be going.". Note that choosing optional dialogue will lock out other branches.
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun and 30 .45 ABP rounds are included with the Necronomicon Edition or associated DLC. It consumes ammo quickly, so save it for critical moments.
  • If you have a free Skill Point from DLC, invest it in the 'Absolute Clarity' Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects (marked with a symbol) can be repeatedly searched for ammunition and crafting materials. Their contents reset when you leave and return to the area. Be cautious, as large amounts of loot may indicate nearby danger.
  • Reload your equipped gun by holding L1 to open the weapon wheel and pressing Square.
  • When examining the Diving Helmet in the Titania Lifeboat, your sanity will drain. Do not hold it for too long.

Collecting all key evidence in a location before finishing the case grants an additional 140 XP. Completing the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation provides an additional 140 XP and unlocks an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
