Complete walkthrough for ADVENT (Advent Central) (8) in The Sinking City 2. Find all key evidence, complete optional tasks, and learn about rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Charon Ship Investigation:
    • The ship is your first investigation location. Collect key evidence: your belongings on the table (briefcase containing Letter from J. van der Berg), the Camera, and the Pistol.
  2. 2
    To collect the Pistol, pick it up, rotate it until an 'eyeball' symbol appears on the handle, and press X to examine. You will receive 6 .38 pistol rounds. Remember to reload your gun (hold L1, select weapon, press Square).
  3. 3
    Collect additional evidence: use the Camera to photograph the trophy plate (fish on the wall) and examine the flyer on the desk.
  4. 4
    Lootable objects (like lockers) can be found and repeatedly looted for ammunition and crafting materials.
  5. 5
    Conversations:
    • After collecting belongings, exit the ship by pressing Triangle to climb onto the dock.
  6. 6
    Speak with Johannes van der Berg. To advance, select: 'About my problem.', 'Where is Robert Throgmorton?', 'I need somewhere to stay.', 'How do I get to Devil's Reef?', and 'Goodbye.'. Note that some dialogue options are lost once you progress.
  7. 7
    Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign. Climb the stairs to speak with Robert Throgmorton.
  8. 8
    To advance, 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 'I'll be going.'.
  9. 9
    Titania Lifeboat (Optional Investigation):
    • Return to the sign and go left down a path, then left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades.
  10. 10
    Collect evidence: Inspect the 'TITANIA' nameplate, examine the Diving Helmet (rotate and search the front faceplate; be mindful of sanity drain), and pick up 'Albert Throgmorton's will' from a seat. You may need to climb inside the lifeboat (Triangle).
  11. 11
    Finding Albert's Will allows an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
Tips
  • If you own the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and .45 ABP rounds. Use the initial clip sparingly as it consumes ammo quickly.
  • Consider putting a free Skill Point (if applicable via DLC) into the 'Absolute Clarity' Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects reset when you leave and return to the area.
  • The Titania Lifeboat is optional but grants extra XP and an additional conversation.
  • Collecting all evidence on the ship grants an additional 140 XP.
  • Completing the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation grants an additional 140 XP and unlocks an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
