    TITANIA: Inspect the Lifeboat Name.

    Albert Throgmorton's will: Found on a seat inside the lifeboat. Climb inside (Triangle) to access.
  19. 19
    This optional investigation grants 140 XP and unlocks an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun (if owned via DLC) is powerful but consumes ammo quickly; save its initial clip.
  • Consider putting a free Skill Point (if obtained via DLC) into the **Absolute Clarity** Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Reload your equipped gun by holding L1, selecting the gun, and pressing Square.
  • Lootable objects can be repeatedly searched for ammo and crafting materials.
  • Be cautious when examining the Diving Helmet in the optional lifeboat investigation, as it drains sanity.
Optional investigation at Lifeboat Titania grants an additional 140 XP and an extra conversation with Robert Throgmorton. Collecting all evidence on the ship before moving on yields 140 XP.
