Types of Secret Rooms

Guide to uncovering secret rooms and finding missable Image & Text Files in Tales of the Neon Sea. Includes choices for achievements and story progression.

This section details how to uncover hidden areas and collect missable items in Tales of the Neon Sea. You'll find three Image & Text Files, two of which require careful inspection, and one that depends on a specific choice. Three Achievements are also available, with a choice that locks you out of one of two specific Achievements per playthrough. Reloading a save file is necessary to unlock both.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Rescuing Charles: Inspect files on the whiteboard to find 'The End (5/8) - Robot Puppets'. Interact with the life support device and computer, reading all files, especially the diagram on the far right for a code clue. Interact with the chain console control panel. Adjust the coloured lamps to match the diagram: press the purple/orange button twice, the yellow/green button once, and the blue button twice. This reveals stairs leading down to a Secret Corridor. Examine the courier clothes, then enter the doorway at the far left. In the secret room, examine the diary and the Beta Type Consciousness Transmission Device for 'The End (6/8) - The Research Information of Consciousness Transmission Device'. Speak to Charles, then retrieve the Crowbar from the far right of the room. Use the Crowbar on Charles' holding cell door to unlock the 'The Story of Rescuing the White Mustache' Trophy/Achievement.
  2. 2
    Decision Time: In the secret lab, your second answer determines which of two Achievements you unlock. Reloading a save is needed to get both. One choice also unlocks a new File.
  3. 3
    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. Skip to 'The Final Confrontation'.
  4. 4
    Keep it on: Choosing to 'Leave the equipment on' unlocks 'The Benevolence' Trophy/Achievement. You will not unlock one of the endgame Files. Skip to 'The Final Confrontation'.
  • The Final Confrontation: Return to the secret room where Charles was rescued. There is no turning back after descending the stairs.
