God of Darkness Strategy

A comprehensive guide to uncovering buried secrets in Tales of the Neon Sea, including missable files, achievements, and crucial choices.

This section of the walkthrough covers the "Uncovering Buried Secrets" chapter in Tales of the Neon Sea. It details the locations of three missable Image & Text Files and three Achievements. Note that two of the Achievements are mutually exclusive and require reloading a save file to obtain both.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Rescuing Charles: Inspect the files on the whiteboard to find "The End (5/8) - Robot Puppets". Interact with the large life support device and then the computer. Read all files on the PC desktop, especially the diagram on the far right. Return to the far left and interact with the chain console control panel. Adjust the lamps to match the diagram by pressing the purple/orange button twice, the yellow/green button once, and the blue button twice. This will reveal stairs leading down. In the Secret Corridor, examine the courier clothes if desired, then enter the doorway on the far left. In the secret room, examine the diary and then the Beta Type Consciousness Transmission Device to find "The End (6/8) - The Research Information of Consciousness Transmission Device". Speak with Charles, then retrieve the Crowbar from the far right of the room. Use the Crowbar on Charles's holding cell door to unlock the "The Story of Rescuing the White Mustache" Trophy/Achievement.
  2. 2
    Decision Time: After rescuing Charles, you'll be presented with two questions. The first choice has no impact, but the second choice determines which of two Achievements you unlock. You cannot unlock both in a single playthrough without reloading an earlier save file. This choice also affects whether you can unlock a specific endgame File.
    • Turn it off: Choosing to "Turn off the equipment" unlocks "The Liberation" Trophy/Achievement and "The End (7/8) - The History Between Edward and Luna" File.
  3. 3
    Keep it on: Choosing to "Leave the equipment on" unlocks "The Benevolence" Trophy/Achievement. This choice prevents you from unlocking one of the endgame Files.
  4. 4
    The Final Confrontation: Regardless of your choice, you will need to return to the secret room where Charles was rescued. There is no turning back after descending the stairs.
Tips
  • Two Image & Text Files require careful inspection of objects.
  • The third Image & Text File is tied to a specific choice during the "Decision Time" section.
  • Two Achievements are mutually exclusive. Reloading a save file is necessary to unlock both.
  • One of the endgame Files is also tied to the "Decision Time" choice.
