Complete walkthrough for 'A Frosty Welcome' in The Sinking City 2. Find key evidence on the Charon ship, interact with NPCs, and explore optional locations like the Titania Lifeboat.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    On the Charon Ship: Collect your belongings (briefcase, camera, pistol). Examine the pistol by rotating it until an "eyeball" symbol appears on the handle and pressing X. Take a photo of the fish mounted on the wall using your camera. Examine the flyer on the desk. Search the locker to the right of the desk for random loot.
  2. 2
    Speak with Johannes van der Berg: Climb onto the dock by pressing Triangle. Select the following dialogue options to advance: "About my problem.", "Where is Robert Throgmorton?", "I need somewhere to stay.", "How do I get to Devil's Reef?", "Goodbye.". Note that choosing other dialogue options will lock you out of certain conversation branches.
  3. 3
    Find Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign. Climb the stairs to automatically start a conversation with Robert Throgmorton. Select the following dialogue options to advance: "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.", "I'll be going.". Other dialogue options are optional.

Optional Investigation: Titania Lifeboat

  1. 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.
  2. Inspect the lifeboat name "TITANIA".
  3. Examine the Diving Helmet, rotating it to search the front faceplate. Be aware that your sanity will drain while looking at it.
  4. Find Albert Throgmorton's will on one of the seats. You may need to climb inside the lifeboat (Triangle) to collect it.
  5. Returning Albert's will to Robert Throgmorton unlocks an additional conversation. Clearing this optional investigation site grants 140 XP.
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun (if owned via DLC) is powerful but consumes ammunition quickly; save its clip for special occasions.
  • Consider investing the free Skill Point (if owned via DLC) 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. Lootable objects reset if you leave and return to the area. Be cautious, as large amounts of loot may indicate nearby danger.
  • Reloading your gun: Equip your gun via the weapon wheel (hold L1) and press Square to reload.
  • Completing the main objectives progresses the story.
  • Collecting all evidence in a location grants bonus XP.
  • The Titania Lifeboat optional investigation grants 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
