Navigate Coverside Central (6) in The Sinking City 2 with our comprehensive walkthrough. Find key evidence, complete objectives, and uncover the mysteries of this crucial location.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The 'Charon' Ship: This is your initial investigation location. Collect all key evidence to progress and earn bonus XP.
    • Key Evidence: Your belongings on the table (briefcase, camera, pistol). Examine the pistol by rotating it until an 'eyeball' symbol appears on the handle and press X. You receive 6 .38 pistol rounds.
  2. 2
    Additional Evidence: Take a photo of the fish trophy on the wall with your camera. Examine the flyer on the desk.
  3. 3
    Lootables: Search the locker to the right of the desk for ammunition and crafting materials. Lootable contents are randomized and reset upon leaving and returning to the area.
  4. 4
    Casebook Tasks: Letter from J. van der Berg
    • Exit the boat by climbing onto the dock (Triangle).
  5. 5
    Converse 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?', 'Goodbye.' Note that optional dialogue branches are lost after certain choices.
  6. 6
    Casebook Tasks: Find Robert Throgmorton
    • Proceed north along the pier to a sign pointing to a bar and an exit. Turn right towards the exit.
  7. 7
    Converse with Robert Throgmorton. 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.', 'I'll be going.' Optional questions can be asked, but 'I'll be going.' ends the conversation permanently.
  8. 8
    Optional Investigation: Titania Lifeboat
    • To access this, return to the sign pointing to the exit. Go left down a path, then left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades. This investigation is optional but grants 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  9. 9
    Additional Evidence: Inspect the lifeboat name 'TITANIA'. Rotate the Diving Helmet and search its front faceplate (be mindful of sanity drain). Find Albert Throgmorton's will on a seat. Climb inside the lifeboat (Triangle) to collect evidence.
Tips
  • If you own the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and 30 .45 ABP rounds. Use this sparingly as it consumes ammo quickly.
  • Consider putting a free Skill Point (if received via DLC) into the 'Absolute Clarity' Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects can be repeatedly searched for ammo and crafting materials. Higher-tier lootables may indicate nearby danger.
  • The lifeboat investigation is optional but rewarding. If you miss the directions to the lifeboat, they will not be repeated by Robert Throgmorton.
Completing the 'Charon' ship investigation thoroughly rewards bonus XP. The optional Titania Lifeboat investigation also grants bonus XP and unlocks an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
