Walkthrough

1
The "Charon" Ship: This is your first investigation location. Collect all key evidence: your belongings (briefcase), the Letter from J. van der Berg, the Camera, and the Pistol. To collect the pistol, examine it by rotating it until an "eyeball" symbol appears on the handle and pressing X. You will also receive 6 .38 pistol rounds. Remember to reload your gun (equip and press Square) before firing.
2
Optional Evidence on Ship: Use your camera to photograph the trophy plate (fish on the wall) and examine the flyer on the desk.
3
Lootables: Search lootable objects (marked with a symbol) for ammunition and crafting materials. These reset when you leave and return to the area.
4
Exit the Boat: Climb onto the dock by pressing Triangle.
5
Johannes van der Berg Conversation: You will automatically start a conversation. To advance the game, select: "About my problem.", "Where is Robert Throgmorton?", "I need somewhere to stay.", "How do I get to Devil's Reef?", "Goodbye.". Be aware that choosing these options locks out other conversational branches.
6
Find Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign pointing to the exit.
7
Robert Throgmorton Conversation: To advance the game, 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.". Again, choosing these options locks out other conversational branches.
8
Optional: Lifeboat Titania: If you ask about the lifeboat's location, return to the sign pointing to the exit, go left down a path, and left towards the sea. Find the lifeboat beyond police barricades. Collect additional evidence: inspect the "TITANIA" nameplate, examine the Diving Helmet (rotate and search the front faceplate; be mindful of sanity drain), and find Albert Throgmorton's will on a seat. You may need to climb inside the lifeboat (Triangle).
9
Return to Robert Throgmorton: After finding Albert's Will, return to Robert Throgmorton to unlock an optional conversation.

Tips

If you purchased the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and 30 .45 ABP rounds. Use these sparingly as they deplete quickly.
Consider putting your free Skill Point (if applicable) into the "Absolute Clarity" Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
Lootable contents are randomized and can be reset by leaving and returning to the area.
The diving helmet in the lifeboat drains sanity; do not hold it for too long.

Collecting all key evidence on the "Charon" ship grants an additional 140 XP. Completing the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation also grants 140 XP and unlocks an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
