Tips
  • If you purchased the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and .45 ABP rounds. Use these sparingly as they deplete quickly.
  • Consider putting your free Skill Point (if applicable) into the 'Absolute Clarity' Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • When speaking with Johannes van der Berg and Robert Throgmorton, select the dialogue options that advance the case to avoid missing information or dialogue branches.
  • The Titania Lifeboat investigation is optional but provides extra XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
