The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan/Dive

Select controller:

PS4, Xbox One, PC

This chapter's player character is Julia in both Theatrical and Curator's Cuts. In Shared Story, one player will be doing this chapter while the other does Uninvited Guests. It begins with Julia and Alex examining the sunken bomber underwater. When they find the opening, Julia will take the lead, and a QTE follows; press A to avoid making contact with a sharp piece of the plane that juts out. If the QTE is failed, Julia's leg will get cut, though this doesn't have any effect on the story outside of the aesthetic difference of Julia wearing a bandage.

Flip this sheet over after catching it to discover a Secret.

Follow Alex through the wreckage. A prompt should come up for a Picture to the left, which Julia can look at for the Devil and the Deep premonition. Continue swimming through to receive another prompt, allowing Julia to check out a tunnel up above. Though Alex will disapprove, choose to be flippant, as doing so will allow Julia to retrieve a Secret. Press A to catch the sheet before it can float away. Respond to Alex's admonishment with nonchalance to avoid angering him further, then flip over the paper to find Secret #30: Flight Plan.

Pick up this anti-aircraft shell for Secret #49.

Examine the reconfigured bomb rack for Secret #40.

Continue swimming through the wreckage and a prompt should come up to the right. Grab Secret #49: Anti-Aircraft Shell out of the aircraft's wall (the Secret will register after Julia finishes examining it). A short distance away, another prompt will come up, this time to the left. Examine the lifeboats, then back out and Julia will point out an irregularity, triggering Secret #40: Missing Lifeboat. Up ahead, examine the corpse, then pick up the locket in its lap to progress the scene. Interact with the door, which can be opened in two ways depending on what the pair took with them. With the bang stick, Julia can aim and fire to unlock it. With a knife, a button must be pressed repeatedly to force it open. Either way, that item will be lost, though this will have no effect on the story despite the game hinting that it may.

Yes! Yes, I'll marry you!

Julia accepted Alex's proposal

In the cockpit, Julia can interact with the wheel to pass the time. After a set amount of time passes, a scene will forcibly cut off the dive. The scene depends on the choice made by Brad in The Duke; if he told Alex to think things through, then he will express uncertainty about his relationship with Julia, but if Brad told Alex to go with his gut, Alex will propose to Julia. Make the astounded choice and then accept his proposal in order to unlock an achievement/trophy and greatly improve their relationship. However, one more important decision awaits before the pair can resurface.

After Julia and Alex catch sight of the explosion above water, choose to be cautious and then reluctant in order to avoid the events shown in the premonition underwater. However, if Julia does resurface too quickly, there is still a choice that allows her to avoid her demise in Ghost Story, which is the next chapter in the game's Theatrical Cut. In the Curator's Cut, the next chapter is Uninvited Guests.
