    On the Charon Ship:
  2. 2
    Collect your belongings from the table. This includes the Letter from J. van der Berg.
  3. 3
    Pick up the Camera.
  4. 4
    Examine the Pistol by rotating it until an eyeball symbol appears on the handle and pressing X. You will receive 6 .38 pistol rounds.

  6. 6
    Examine the flyer on the desk.
  7. 7

    After leaving the ship:
  9. 9
    Climb onto the dock using Triangle.
  10. 10
    Speak with Johannes van der Berg. Choose dialogue options to progress: "About my problem.", "Where is Robert Throgmorton?", "I need somewhere to stay.", "How do I get to Devil's Reef?", "Goodbye.".
  11. 11
    Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign.
  12. 12
    Climb the stairs to speak with Robert Throgmorton. Choose dialogue options to progress: "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.".
  13. 13
    Optional: Titania Lifeboat Investigation:
  14. 14
    Return to the sign pointing to the exit. Go left down a path, then left towards the sea.
  15. 15
    The lifeboat is beyond police barricades.
  16. 16
    Inspect the Lifeboat Name 'TITANIA'.
  17. 17
    Examine the Diving Helmet, rotating it to find a search prompt on the front faceplate. Be quick, as prolonged examination drains sanity.

    Find Albert Throgmorton's will on one of the seats. Climb inside the lifeboat using Triangle to collect it.
  19. 19
    Returning Albert's will to Robert Throgmorton unlocks an optional conversation.
