Take either stone from the fortune teller - it doesn't matter which. Go to the training dummy, hit every target, and press the prompted button in time. With keyboard and mouse, move the pointer onto the target and confirm with the shown input; with a controller, the shown controller icons apply. If you make a mistake, reload the chapter immediately. Achievements: 🏆 Karate Master, plus progress towards 🏆 As long as you're quick.

Play as Brad. When Alex talks about an important decision, choose SENTIMENTAL - “Trust your gut.” Answer the rest of the conversations warmly - this lets Alex make the proposal later on. Short branch for 🏆 Brother thing, you know: later restart “The Duke” on a separate save slot and choose RESENTFUL - “I had to work.”, then ACCUSATORY - “I was invited.”

As Alex, talk to Brad before the dive. React impressed by his preparation, promise to bring him back something interesting, and stress that you're in this together. Go below deck and examine the white-framed picture on the wall.

Make sure to pick up the camera later on.

On the plane: examine the black-framed picture near the first passage, swim through the opening above the door, and examine the flight plan, the shell, and the mount of the missing lifeboat. Pass the QTE so Julia doesn't get hurt. Proposal: don't surface right after the explosion and respect the decompression time. At the proposal, choose ASTOUNDED - “We almost died!”, then LOVING - “Yes!” Reward: 🏆 Yes! Yes, I'll marry you! Conrad and Fliss: play Fliss friendly and relaxed, react confidently to Conrad's remarks, and show you're impressed by him. Talk to Brad first, then Conrad. Flirt playfully and romantically, react worried to the fishing boat, and when Conrad throws money into the water, react amused.

This sets up 🏆 A pint of frosty amber liquid and 🏆 You got a better way?

This short chapter doesn't need any special choices - just pick up the guard's note.

• 🔎 Guard's note

Main save: stay calm as Conrad, don't start a fight, and don't give away Brad's hiding spot. Don't let Conrad flee on the speedboat. As Fliss, follow the pirates' instructions and help the others on deck, so Brad stays undiscovered. Branch: window and speedboat - start “Intrusion” on a separate new save slot. Decide that Conrad flees through the window, wait for the lightning, and press the button once Conrad has counted to six. Reward: 🏆 Break 'em during the thunder. Then pass the heartbeat event, choose ESCAPE, and pass all QTEs, especially the short final shooting QTE. Reward: 🏆 Can't catch him with this old junker. Afterwards, return to the main save.

Play Julia lovingly: tell the diving story cheerfully, react sentimentally to Alex, reassure him, and openly show your affection.

React puzzled as Conrad about the abandoned ship, agree with Fliss, and ask about her opinion with interest. Choose to distract the pirates, and put the cabinet back in front of the vent. For Conrad's trait, CONFIDENT - “An abandoned ship.” is what matters. Possible rewards: 🏆 A pint of frosty amber liquid and 🏆 If you're selling, I'm buying.

• 🔎 1947 newspaper, Miller's letter

Answer confidently as Conrad and warn Fliss. Search every room before following the group. With a strong enough relationship: 🏆 You got a better way?

Collecting: read the kitchen plan and diary in full, examine the black-framed picture and all four caskets, go through the left door in the medical area, and examine the corpse and ECG report. Alex's trait: pick up the knife to the right of the menu board and choose CONFIDENT - “Could be useful.” Reward: 🏆 Big man on campus. Alex and Julia: open the cabinet the pot falls out of, tell Julia the truth, react worried, and support her. Examine the lower-left casket and react shocked. With a strong enough relationship: 🏆 Lovebirds.

Follow Danny until he kicks off a cap. Go back, pick it up, and turn it over - this reveals the name Ourang Medan. After Danny flees, take his flashlight, go back, and examine the white-framed picture and then the dog tag.

There's a time limit here. In the red ballroom, head straight to the stage and enter the small room to its right. Examine the white-framed picture first, pull the lever, and go through the opened curtain. Go outside past the casket on the right and come back after a few seconds. Examine the crate, damaged cables, and manual. Don't attack Brad.

Brad and Fliss recognise each other because Brad is wearing the gas mask and Fliss has breathed fresh air.

• 🔎 Chemical leak, damaged pipes, manual 📸 White photo

Grab the shovel when Brad or Fliss gets trapped. Don't hit the lock - destroy the damaged hinges instead - and free the trapped person. In the conversation, choose the worried, then the frightened, then the expectant response, in that order.

Reward: 🏆 Aye, aye captain

• 🔎 Report about ghost rumours

At the start, search the open rooms for the map, picture, and order. Pass all QTEs and choose HIDE. Pass the heartbeat event and the following QTE sequence. At the end, choose STAND YOUR GROUND, not “Jump”.

Examine the safe in the first side room, read the patient file, and the log in the engine room. Examine the white-framed picture and turn the power on. Take the rebreather and pass the heartbeat event at Olson. During the escape, choose the disturbed response so only a normal QTE follows.

Read the military orders next to Danny immediately - there's a time limit here.

Coordinate on collectibles and play through to the credits.
