Complete walkthrough for ADVENT (Advent West) (8) in The Sinking City 2, including key objectives, item locations, and tips for success.
Walkthrough
- 1Begin by examining your belongings on the table in front of you. This includes taking your briefcase, which contains the Letter from J. van der Berg.
- 2Collect the Camera, a usable item for taking pictures as evidence.
- 3Pick up the Pistol. Rotate it until an "eyeball" symbol appears on the handle, then press X to examine it. You will receive 6 .38 pistol rounds. Ensure you reload your gun before firing.
- 4Use your camera to take a picture of the strange fish mounted on the wall (Additional Evidence).
- 5Examine the flyer on the desk to the left of your belongings (Additional Evidence).
- 6Loot the locker to the right of the desk for ammunition and crafting materials. Lootable contents are randomized and can be reset by leaving and returning to the area.
- 7Exit the boat by climbing onto the dock to your right using Triangle.
- 8Speak with Johannes van der Berg. To advance the game, select the 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.". Be aware that selecting "I need somewhere to stay" closes off other dialogue branches.
- 9Proceed north along the pier until you reach a sign with directions to a bar and an exit. Turn right.
- 10Climb the stairs to initiate 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.".
- 11Optional: Lifeboat Titania Investigation
- 12Return to the sign that pointed to the exit. Go left down a path and turn left towards the sea. The lifeboat will be beyond police barricades.
- 13Inspect the Lifeboat Name "TITANIA".
- 14Examine the Diving Helmet, rotating it to look at the front faceplate and search. Be mindful of sanity drain while examining the helmet.
- 15Collect Albert Throgmorton's will from one of the seats in the lifeboat. You may need to climb inside using Triangle.
- 16Return to Robert Throgmorton and give him his son's will to unlock an optional conversation.
Tips
- If you own the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and .45 ACP rounds. Use the initial clip sparingly as ammo is scarce.
- Consider putting your free Skill Point (if applicable) into the "Absolute Clarity" Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
- Lootable objects can be repeatedly looted after respawning.
- The Lifeboat Titania investigation is optional but rewards extra XP and an additional conversation.
