This includes the Letter from J. van der Berg (obtained by taking the briefcase), the Camera (a usable item for taking pictures as evidence), and your Pistol. To collect the pistol, pick it up, rotate it until an 'eyeball' symbol appears on the handle, and press X to examine it. You will also receive 6 .38 pistol rounds. Remember to reload your gun by holding L1, selecting the gun, and pressing Square.

Additional Evidence on the "Charon" Ship: Use your camera to take a picture of the mounted fish on the wall (Photo of a trophy plate). Examine the flyer on the desk to the left of your belongings (Flyer).

Lootables: Search the locker to the right of the desk. Lootable contents are randomized and provide ammunition and crafting materials. These can be looted repeatedly after resetting the area.

Casebook Task: Letter from J. van der Berg: Exit the boat by climbing onto the dock using Triangle.

Conversation with Johannes van der Berg: After climbing onto the dock, you will automatically start a conversation. To advance the game, select the following dialogue options: "About my problem.", "Where is Robert Throgmorton?", "I need somewhere to stay.", "How do I get to Devil's Reef?", and finally, "Goodbye.". Choosing these options progresses the game and locks out other dialogue branches.

Casebook Task: Find Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign pointing to the exit.

Conversation with Robert Throgmorton: As you go up the stairs, you will begin a conversation with Robert Throgmorton. 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 finally, "I'll be going.".

Optional Task: Lifeboat Titania: To access this optional investigation, return to the sign that pointed to the exit. Go left down a path, then left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades.
9
Additional Evidence in the Titania Lifeboat: Inspect the Lifeboat Name (TITANIA). Rotate the Diving Helmet and search its front faceplate. Find Albert Throgmorton's will on one of the seats. You may need to climb inside the lifeboat using Triangle to collect some evidence. Be aware that looking at the diving helmet for too long will drain your sanity.

Return to Robert Throgmorton: After finding Albert's Will, return to Robert Throgmorton to give him the will and unlock an optional conversation.
