Walkthrough
  1. 1
    On the "Charon" Ship: This is your initial investigation area. Collect the following key evidence:
    • Your Belongings: Found on a table, must be collected to leave.
  2. 2
    Letter from J. van der Berg: Obtained by taking the briefcase.
  3. 3
    Camera: A usable item for taking pictures as evidence.
  4. 4
    Pistol: Pick it up, rotate until an "eyeball" symbol appears on the handle, and press 'X' to examine. You will receive 6 .38 pistol rounds.
  5. 5
    Photo of a trophy plate: Use your 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
    Conversation with Johannes van der Berg: After leaving the ship, you'll automatically speak with him. To advance the game, select: "About my problem," "Where is Robert Throgmorton?" "I need somewhere to stay," "How do I get to Devil's Reef?" and "Goodbye."
  8. 8
    Finding Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier to a sign. Turn right towards the bar and exit. You'll speak with Robert Throgmorton as you go up the stairs. To advance the game, select: "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," and "I'll be going."
  9. 9
    Optional: Titania Lifeboat (Optional Investigation): Return to the sign pointing to the exit. Go left down a path, then left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades. Collecting evidence here grants 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
    • TITANIA: Inspect the Lifeboat Name.
  10. 10
    Diving Helmet: Rotate and search the front faceplate. Be aware that looking at it drains sanity.
  11. 11
    Albert Throgmorton's will: Found on one of the lifeboat seats.
Tips
  • If you have the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and .45 ABP rounds. Use the initial clip sparingly as ammo is scarce.
  • Consider putting your free Skill Point (if applicable) into the "Absolute Clarity" Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects can be repeatedly looted for ammo and crafting materials.
  • The diving helmet at the Titania Lifeboat drains sanity; do not hold it for too long.
Completing all key evidence on the ship grants an additional 140 XP. Completing the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation also grants 140 XP and unlocks an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
