Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for The Sinking City 2's "A Frosty Welcome" mission, detailing key evidence, optional investigations, and character interactions.
Walkthrough
- 1The "Charon" Ship: This is your first investigation location. Collect key evidence: your belongings on the table (briefcase, camera, pistol). To collect the pistol, pick it up, rotate it until an eyeball symbol appears on the handle, and press X to examine it. You will receive 6 .38 pistol rounds. Additional evidence includes a photo of the mounted fish (use your camera) and a flyer on a desk. Lootable objects like lockers can be repeatedly searched for ammunition and crafting materials.
- 2Johannes van der Berg: After collecting your belongings, exit the boat by pressing Triangle to climb onto the dock. You will automatically start a conversation with Johannes van der Berg. To advance the game, select: "About my problem," "Where is Robert Throgmorton?" "I need somewhere to stay," "How do I get to Devil's Reef?" and finally, "Goodbye." Choosing these options locks out other conversational branches.
- 3Find Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign pointing to the bar and exit. As you go up the stairs, you will automatically begin 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."
- 4Optional: Lifeboat Titania (Robert's Request): To access this optional investigation, return to the sign that pointed to the exit. Go left down a path, then left toward the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades. Collecting evidence here grants an extra 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
- 5Additional Evidence in Lifeboat: Inspect the "TITANIA" lifeboat name, examine the "Diving Helmet" (rotate and search the front faceplate; be mindful of sanity drain), and collect "Albert Throgmorton's will" from a seat. You may need to press Triangle to climb inside the lifeboat.
Tips
- If you have the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and .45 ACP rounds. Use its initial clip sparingly as replenishing ammo is slow.
- Consider putting a free Skill Point (if obtained via DLC) into the "Absolute Clarity" Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
- Lootable objects reset when you leave and return to the area, allowing for repeated collection of materials and ammo.
- The Diving Helmet in the Lifeboat Titania can drain your sanity; do not hold it for too long.
