A complete guide to collecting all key and additional evidence in the 'First Fresco' section of The Sinking City 2, including item locations and how to interact with them.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Your Belongings: Interact with the briefcase on the table in front of you to collect your essential items.
  2. 2
    Letter from J. van der Berg: Picking up the briefcase also grants you this letter.
  3. 3
    Camera: Collect the camera, which is a tool for taking pictures to use as evidence.
  4. 4
    Pistol: Pick up the pistol, rotate it until an 'eyeball' symbol appears on the handle, and press 'X' to examine it. You will also receive 6 .38 pistol rounds.
  5. 5
    Photo of a trophy plate: Use your camera to take a picture of the mounted fish on the wall.
  6. 6
    Flyer: Examine the flyer located on the desk to the left of the table where you collected your belongings.
Tips
  • The boat you start on is considered your first investigation location. Collecting all evidence here can grant bonus XP.
  • If you own the Necronomicon Edition or its DLC, you'll receive a Submachine Gun and .45 ACP rounds. Use these sparingly as they are consumed quickly.
  • Consider investing a Skill Point into 'Absolute Clarity' for a 5% XP bonus.
  • To reload your pistol, equip it via the weapon wheel (hold L1) and press Square.
  • Lootable objects (marked with a specific symbol) can be repeatedly searched for ammunition and crafting materials. Their contents reset upon leaving and returning to the area.

Collecting all key evidence on the ship before progressing will reward you with an additional 140 XP (adjusted for skills).
