Complete walkthrough for 'A Frosty Welcome' in The Sinking City 2. Find key evidence on the Charon ship, interact with NPCs, and uncover optional clues.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon boarding the ship, collect your belongings from the table. This includes your Camera and the Letter from J. van der Berg.
  2. 2
    Examine the Pistol on the table: pick it up, rotate it until the 'eyeball' symbol appears on the handle, and press 'X' to examine. You will receive 6 .38 pistol rounds.
  3. 3
    Use your camera to take a picture of the mounted fish on the wall (Additional Evidence).
  4. 4
    Examine the flyer on the desk to the left of the table (Additional Evidence).
  5. 5
    Loot the locker to the right of the desk for ammunition and crafting materials. Lootable items reset upon leaving and returning to the area.
  6. 6
    Exit the ship by climbing onto the dock using 'Triangle'.
  7. 7
    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 choosing "I need somewhere to stay" locks out other dialogue options.
  8. 8
    Proceed north along the pier to a sign with directions. Turn right towards the bar and exit.
  9. 9
    Climb the stairs to automatically begin a conversation 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.", and "I'll be going.". Other dialogue options can be explored before selecting "I'll be going.".
Tips
  • If you have the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and 30 .45 ACP rounds. Use these sparingly as ammo is scarce.
  • Consider putting a free Skill Point (if applicable via DLC) into the 'Absolute Clarity' Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Reloading your gun is done by equipping it via the weapon wheel (hold L1) and pressing Square.

Completing the main objectives allows you to progress the story. Collecting all evidence in a location before finishing grants an additional 140 XP.

  • Optional: Titania Lifeboat Investigation
  • Return to the sign with directions. Go left down a path, then left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades.
  • Inspect the lifeboat name: TITANIA.
  • Examine the Diving Helmet: rotate it and search the front faceplate. Be mindful of sanity drain while examining.
  • Find Albert Throgmorton's will on one of the seats. You may need to climb into the lifeboat (Triangle) to collect it.
  • Returning Albert's will to Robert Throgmorton unlocks an additional conversation.
  • Completing this optional investigation grants an extra 140 XP.
