  1. 1
    On the 'Charon' Ship: This is your first investigation location. Collect your belongings from the table.

    Key Evidence:
    • Take your briefcase to collect your belongings and the Letter from J. van der Berg.
  3. 3
    Examine the Camera.
  4. 4
    Pick up the Pistol, rotate it until the 'eyeball' symbol appears on the handle, and press X to examine it. You will receive 6 .38 pistol rounds.

    Lootables: Search the locker to the right of the desk for ammunition and crafting materials. Lootable contents are randomized and reset upon leaving and returning to the area.
  8. 8
    Talk to Johannes van der Berg: After collecting your belongings, climb onto the dock (Triangle) and speak with Johannes van der Berg. Select the following 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.'.
  9. 9
    Find Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier to a sign. Turn right towards the bar and exit. Go up the stairs to automatically start a conversation with Robert Throgmorton. Select the following 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.'.
  10. 10
    Optional: Titania Lifeboat (Robert's Request): Ask Robert Throgmorton about the lifeboat for directions. Return to the sign pointing to the exit, go left down a path, then left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades.
  11. 11
    Optional Evidence in Lifeboat:
    • Inspect the lifeboat name: TITANIA.
  12. 12
    Examine the Diving Helmet, rotating it to search the front faceplate. Be aware your sanity will drain while looking at it.

    Find Albert Throgmorton's will on one of the seats. You may need to climb inside the lifeboat (Triangle).
  14. 14
    Optional Reward: Returning Albert's will to Robert Throgmorton unlocks an additional conversation. Clearing the Titania Lifeboat investigation site grants an extra 140 XP.
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun (if owned via DLC) uses .45 ABP rounds and consumes ammunition quickly. Save its initial clip for important moments.
  • Consider investing a Skill Point into the Absolute Clarity Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects can be repeatedly searched for ammunition and crafting materials. Larger amounts of loot may indicate a more dangerous area.
  • When examining the Pistol, rotate it until the 'eyeball' symbol appears on the handle to examine it.
  • To reload your gun, equip it via the weapon wheel (hold L1) and press Square.
