Guide to Uncovering Buried Secrets in Tales of the Neon Sea. Learn how to find missable files, rescue Charles, and make crucial decisions for achievements.

This section of the Tales of the Neon Sea walkthrough covers the 'Uncovering Buried Secrets' chapter. It details the location of three missable Image & Text Files and three Achievements. Two files require careful inspection, while the third is tied to a specific choice that also unlocks an Achievement. Be aware that two of the three Achievements in this section are mutually exclusive and require reloading a save file to obtain both.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Rescuing Charles:
    1. Inspect the files on the whiteboard to find the 'The End (5/8) - Robot Puppets' File.
  2. 2
    Interact with the large life support device and then the computer. Read all files on the PC desktop, paying attention to the diagram on the far right for a code clue.
  3. 3
    Interact with the chain console control panel on the far left. Adjust the colored lamps to match the diagram from the computer by pressing the buttons: purple/orange twice, yellow/green once, and blue twice.
  4. 4
    Descend the newly revealed stairs into a Secret Corridor.
  5. 5
    Enter the doorway at the far left end of the hall into another secret room.
  6. 6
    Inspect the diary to the right of the doorway.
  7. 7
    Inspect the Beta Type Consciousness Transmission Device to find the 'The End (6/8) - The Research Information of Consciousness Transmission Device' File.
  8. 8
    Speak with Charles.
  9. 9
    Head to the far right of the room and grab the Crowbar.
  10. 10
    Return to Charles and use the Crowbar on the holding cell door to free him. This unlocks the 'The Story of Rescuing the White Mustache' Trophy/Achievement.
  • Decision Time:
    1. After rescuing Charles, you will be presented with two questions. The first choice has no impact, but the second determines which of two Achievements you unlock and affects a new endgame File.
    2. To unlock 'The Liberation' Trophy/Achievement and the 'The End (7/8) - The History Between Edward and Luna' File: Choose to 'Turn off the equipment'. Interact with the life support device.
    3. To unlock 'The Benevolence' Trophy/Achievement: Choose to 'Leave the equipment on'. No further interaction is needed for this choice, but you will miss one endgame File.
  • The Final Confrontation:
    1. Regardless of your choice in 'Decision Time', head back down to the secret room where you rescued Charles. There is no turning back after this point.
    • Tips
    • Remember that the two Achievements in 'Decision Time' are mutually exclusive. Reload an earlier save file (labeled 'Inside a secret room') to make the other choice and unlock the second Achievement.
    • Pay close attention to the diagram on the computer for the chain console puzzle; it's crucial for progression.
    • The 'Uncovering Buried Secrets' section contains missable Files and Achievements, so be thorough in your exploration.
