Albert was murdered

Albert Throgmorton's story in The Sinking City 2 is tragic. Learn about his expedition, disappearance, and the circumstances surrounding his death in this guide.

Alright, let's talk about Albert Throgmorton. He's a pretty central figure early on, and his story is a bit of a downer, so heads up. Albert is the son of Robert Throgmorton, and the main quest kicks off with you trying to find him and figure out what happened. ### Frosty Welcome So, Albert went on an expedition to Devil's Teeth and came back as the sole survivor. Sounds rough, right? After a local fisherman rescued him, Albert woke up and, well, things went sideways. It's implied he caused his rescuers to go mad. Then, an Innsmouther named Lewis Flynn shot at Albert, thinking Albert killed another fisherman. When Charles finds Albert, he's… not in a good way. Hung on a meat hook and shot in the head. Now, here's where it gets tricky and you'll need to use your detective skills. You have to decide if Lewis was responsible for the murder, or if he was influenced by Albert's own mental state. It's all about your deductions. ### Death After you let Robert Throgmorton know about Albert's passing, you'll find his casket at Throgmorton Manor. There's a whole obituary that reads:

_In Loving Memory. Albert Throgmorton, son of respected Robert Throgmorton and descendant of a robust bloodline, died on Thursday at Oakmont Port aged 25 years. We mourn his untimely death, but we celebrate the way he lived his life._ _The Throgmorton family appreciates the many comforting words and prayers sent by the citizens of Oakmont._

When you interact with the coffin as Reed, you'll hear him say, "The mortician has touched him up well."
