Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin on the 'Charon' Ship: Your first investigation location. Collect your belongings from the table.
  2. 2
    Key Evidence:
    • Briefcase: Contains the Letter from J. van der Berg.
  3. 3
    Camera: A usable item for taking pictures as evidence.
  4. 4
    Pistol: Pick up, rotate until an 'eyeball' symbol appears on the handle, and press X to examine. You receive 6 .38 pistol rounds.
  5. 5
    Additional Evidence:
    • Photo of a trophy plate: Use your camera to photograph the mounted fish on the wall.
  6. 6
    Flyer: Examine the flyer on the desk to the left of your belongings.
  7. 7
    Lootables: Search the locker to the right of the desk. Lootable contents are randomized and can be reset by leaving and returning to the area.
  8. 8
    Exit the Boat: Climb onto the dock using Triangle.
  9. 9
    Talk to Johannes van der Berg: Choose dialogue options to advance the conversation. Key options to progress are: 'About my problem.', 'Where is Robert Throgmorton?', 'I need somewhere to stay.', 'How do I get to Devil's Reef?', 'Goodbye.'. Note that selecting 'Goodbye' ends all conversation branches.
  10. 10
    Find Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier to a sign. Turn right towards the bar and exit. Go up the stairs to start a conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  11. 11
    Talk to Robert Throgmorton: Key dialogue options to advance include: '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.'. Asking about the lifeboat's location is optional and will not be repeated.
  12. 12
    Optional: Investigate the Lifeboat Titania: From the sign, go left down a path, then left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades. No evidence here is required for the main case, but it grants 140 bonus XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
    • Titania Lifeboat Evidence:
      • Inspect the Lifeboat Name: 'TITANIA'.
  13. 13
    Diving Helmet: Rotate and examine the front faceplate. Be aware that prolonged inspection drains sanity.
  14. 14
    Albert Throgmorton's will: Found on one of the seats. Climb inside the lifeboat (Triangle) to access.
  15. 15
    Return to Robert Throgmorton: After finding Albert's Will (if you chose to investigate the lifeboat), return to Robert to unlock an optional conversation.
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun (if owned via DLC) is powerful but consumes ammunition quickly; save its clip for critical moments.
  • Consider investing the free Skill Point (if obtained via DLC) into the 'Absolute Clarity' Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects can be repeatedly searched for ammunition and crafting materials. The amount of loot may indicate the danger level of the area.
  • Climbing to higher areas is done by pressing Triangle.
  • Evidence collection is crucial; collecting all key evidence in a location grants an additional 140 XP.
  • Completion of the 'One Fisherman is Missing' quest.
  • XP bonuses for collecting all evidence and completing optional objectives.
  • Access to additional dialogue with NPCs.
