    • Your belongings on the table (required to leave).
  2. 2
    Letter from J. van der Berg (obtained by taking your belongings).
  3. 3
    Camera (usable item for taking pictures as evidence).
  4. 4
    Pistol (examine the handle by rotating it until an "eyeball" symbol appears, press X; yields 6 .38 pistol rounds).
  5. 5
    Additional Evidence on the "Charon" Ship:
    • Photo of a trophy plate (use camera on the fish mounted on the wall).
  6. 6
    Flyer (examine the flyer on the desk to the left of your belongings).
  7. 7
    Lootables on the "Charon" Ship:
    • Locker (to the right of the desk). Lootable contents are randomized and can be reset by leaving and returning to the area. They provide ammunition and crafting materials.
  8. 8
    Casebook Tasks - Letter from J. van der Berg:
    • Exit the boat by climbing onto the dock (press Triangle).
  9. 9
    Converse with Johannes van der Berg. Key dialogue options to advance: "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 the conversation permanently.
  10. 10
    Casebook Tasks - Find Robert Throgmorton:
    • Proceed north along the pier to a sign with directions.
  11. 11
    Turn right towards the "exit" and go up the stairs.
  12. 12
    Converse with Robert Throgmorton. Key dialogue options to advance: "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.". Note that selecting "I'll be going." ends the conversation permanently.
  13. 13
    Optional Investigation - Lifeboat Titania (Robert's Request):
    • Return to the sign that pointed to the exit.
  14. 14
    Go left down a path, then left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades.
  15. 15
    This optional investigation provides an extra 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  16. 16
    Additional Evidence at Lifeboat Titania:
    • TITANIA (inspect the Lifeboat Name).
  17. 17
    Diving Helmet (rotate and search the front faceplate). Be aware that looking at the helmet for too long drains sanity.
  18. 18
    Albert Throgmorton's will (on one of the seats).
Tips

  • Lootable objects can be repeatedly looted after resetting the area.
  • When examining the Pistol, rotate it until an "eyeball" symbol appears on the handle and press X.
  • To reload your gun, equip it via the weapon wheel (hold L1) and press Square.
  • Climb onto docks or into the lifeboat using the Triangle button.
  • The optional Lifeboat Titania investigation does not add to your casebook but grants XP and an extra conversation.
  • Completing all key evidence on the "Charon" ship grants an additional 140 XP.
  • Completing the optional Lifeboat Titania investigation grants an additional 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
