Discover how to find and use the Coin in The Sinking City 2. This guide covers its location, significance, and any related quests or mechanics.

The Coin is not a specific item or collectible in The Sinking City. It is likely a misunderstanding or a reference to a different game mechanic. This guide will focus on the initial investigation on the 'Charon' ship, which is the player's first experience with evidence gathering.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Key Evidence: Collect your belongings from the table. This includes the Letter from J. van der Berg, the Camera, and the Pistol. To collect the Pistol, examine it by rotating it until an 'eyeball' symbol appears on the handle and press X. You will also receive 6 .38 pistol rounds.
  2. 2
    Reloading: Your pistol is not loaded initially. Equip it via the weapon wheel (hold L1) and press Square to reload.
  3. 3
    Additional Evidence: Use your camera to take a picture of the strange fish mounted on the wall (Photo of a trophy plate). Examine the flyer on the desk to the left of your belongings (Flyer).
  4. 4
    Lootables: Search the locker to the right of the desk. Lootable objects provide ammunition and crafting materials and can be reset by leaving and returning to the area.
  5. 5
    Casebook Tasks: Collect the 'Letter from J. van der Berg' by picking up your briefcase.
  6. 6
    Conversation with Johannes van der Berg: After collecting your belongings, climb onto the dock (Triangle) and speak with Johannes van der Berg. Select dialogue options to progress: 'About my problem.', 'Where is Robert Throgmorton?', 'I need somewhere to stay.', 'How do I get to Devil's Reef?', 'Goodbye.'
  7. 7
    Find Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign. You will automatically start a conversation with Robert Throgmorton as you go up the stairs.
  8. 8
    Conversation with Robert Throgmorton: Select dialogue options to progress: '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.'
Tips
  • If you own the Necronomicon Edition or its DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and 30 .45 ACP rounds. This weapon consumes ammunition quickly, so save its initial clip for important moments.
  • Consider investing a Skill Point into 'Absolute Clarity' (Mind skill) for a 5% XP bonus, aiding in earlier skill point accumulation.
  • Lootable objects can be repeatedly searched for ammunition and crafting materials. The amount of loot may indicate the danger level of the area.
  • The Lifeboat Titania is an optional investigation area. While not required for casebook progression, completing it grants 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton. Evidence includes the boat name 'TITANIA', a Diving Helmet (examine its front faceplate), and Albert Throgmorton's will. Be cautious as looking at the Diving Helmet for too long drains sanity.
