Tips
  • If you have the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and .45 ABP rounds. Use these sparingly as ammo is scarce early on.
  • Consider investing your first Skill Point into the "Absolute Clarity" Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects (marked with a specific symbol) can be repeatedly looted for ammunition and crafting materials. They reset when you leave and return to the area.
  • The Titania Lifeboat investigation is optional but rewards extra XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  • Be quick when examining the Diving Helmet in the lifeboat, as it drains sanity.
  • Completing the "A Frosty Welcome" investigation progresses the main story.
  • Collecting all evidence on the "Charon" ship grants an additional 140 XP.
  • Completing the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation grants an additional 140 XP.
