Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon arriving at Oakmont City Hall (4), your primary objective is to locate and collect specific pieces of evidence scattered throughout the area.
  2. 2
    The first key piece of evidence is your own belongings, which must be collected from a table. This action is necessary to proceed.

    Among your belongings, you will find a Letter from J. van der Berg.
  4. 4
    You will also acquire a Camera, a crucial tool for documenting evidence.
  5. 5
    Your Pistol is also found here. To collect it, pick it up, rotate it until an 'eyeball' symbol appears on the handle, and press X to examine it. You will receive 6 .38 pistol rounds. Remember to reload your weapon before use.
  6. 6
    For additional evidence, use your camera to take a picture of the strange fish mounted on the wall.
  7. 7
    Examine the flyer located on the desk to the left of where you collected your belongings.
  8. 8
    Lootable objects, marked with a specific symbol, can be found in the area, such as a locker to the right of the desk. These can be repeatedly looted for ammunition and crafting materials.
  9. 9
    After collecting the necessary items, exit the boat by climbing onto the dock using the Triangle button.
  10. 10
    You will automatically engage in a conversation with Johannes van der Berg. Choose dialogue options that advance the main quest, such as discussing your problem, inquiring about Robert Throgmorton, and stating your need for lodging.
  11. 11
    To find Robert Throgmorton, proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign pointing towards an exit.
  12. 12
    Climbing the stairs will initiate a conversation with Robert Throgmorton. Select dialogue options that progress the investigation, such as asking about his son, the Innsmouthers, the visions, and agreeing to find Albert.
  13. 13
    An optional investigation site, the Lifeboat Titania, can be accessed by returning to the pier sign, heading left down a path, and then left towards the sea.
  14. 14
    At the Lifeboat Titania, inspect the boat's name ('TITANIA').
  15. 15
    Examine the Diving Helmet, rotating it to find a search prompt on the front faceplate. Be mindful of your sanity while examining this item.
  16. 16
    Find Albert Throgmorton's will on one of the lifeboat's seats. You may need to climb into the lifeboat using Triangle to collect it.
  17. 17
    Returning Albert's Will to Robert Throgmorton unlocks an optional conversation.
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun, if acquired through DLC, is powerful but consumes ammunition rapidly. Save its clip for critical moments.
  • Consider investing the initial Skill Point into the 'Absolute Clarity' Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects can be reset by leaving and returning to the area, providing a renewable source of ammunition and crafting materials.
  • The Lifeboat Titania is an optional investigation that provides extra XP and an additional conversation, but its evidence is not required for case progression.
  • Be cautious when examining the Diving Helmet at the Lifeboat Titania, as it can drain your sanity.
Collecting all key evidence in a location before concluding a case grants an additional 140 XP. Completing the optional Lifeboat Titania investigation also provides extra XP and unlocks further dialogue.
