A complete walkthrough for Tales of the Neon Sea's 'Uncovering Buried Secrets' section, detailing how to find all missable files and unlock achievements.
Walkthrough
- 1In the secret lab, inspect the files on the whiteboard to find 'The End (5/8) - Robot Puppets'.
- 2Interact 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.
- 3Head to the far left of the lab and interact with the chain console control panel.
- 4Solve the lamp puzzle by adjusting the height of the coloured lamps to match the diagram from the computer. The solution is: press the purple/orange button twice, the yellow/green button once, and the blue button twice. The order does not matter.
- 5Descend the stairs that appear. In the next room, examine the diary to the right of the doorway.
- 6Continue left and inspect the Beta Type Consciousness Transmission Device to find 'The End (6/8) - The Research Information of Consciousness Transmission Device'.
- 7Speak with Charles. Head to the far right of the room and grab the Crowbar.
- 8Return to Charles and use the Crowbar on the holding cell door. This will unlock the 'The Story of Rescuing the White Mustache' Trophy/Achievement.
- 9After a scene, you will be presented with two choices. The first choice has no impact, but the second choice determines which Achievement you unlock.
- 10To unlock 'The Liberation' Trophy/Achievement and 'The End (7/8) - The History Between Edward and Luna' File: Choose to "Turn off the equipment".
- 11To unlock 'The Benevolence' Trophy/Achievement: Choose to "Leave the equipment on". Note that this choice prevents you from unlocking the aforementioned File.
- 12You can reload an earlier save file to unlock both Achievements in separate playthroughs.
- 13Finally, head back down to the secret room to trigger 'The Final Confrontation'.
Tips
- Remember that the two choices in 'Decision Time' are mutually exclusive for a single playthrough. Save beforehand if you wish to unlock both Achievements.
- Pay close attention to the diagram on the computer in the first lab; it's crucial for solving the lamp puzzle.
- The crowbar is located at the far right of the room where Charles is held.
- Three missable Image & Text Files: 'The End (5/8) - Robot Puppets', 'The End (6/8) - The Research Information of Consciousness Transmission Device', and potentially 'The End (7/8) - The History Between Edward and Luna'.
- Two missable Achievements: 'The Story of Rescuing the White Mustache', and either 'The Liberation' or 'The Benevolence'.
