Tips
  • The Submachine Gun and .45 ABP rounds are included with the Necronomicon Edition or DLC packs. Use its initial clip sparingly as ammo is scarce.
  • Consider investing the free Skill Point (if DLC is owned) into the 'Absolute Clarity' Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects (marked with a specific symbol) can be repeatedly searched for ammunition and crafting materials. Their contents reset upon leaving and returning to the area. Be cautious, as abundant loot may indicate a more dangerous area.
  • When examining the Diving Helmet in the Titania Lifeboat, do not hold it for too long to avoid sanity drain.
  • Progression to the next stage of the main quest.
  • Optional: 140 XP for completing the Titania Lifeboat investigation.
  • Optional: Additional dialogue with Robert Throgmorton.
