Navigate the eerie 'Home of the Infected Man' in The Sinking City 2. This guide details essential clues, key evidence, and optional objectives to uncover the truth.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon arriving at the 'Charon' ship, collect your belongings from the table. This includes your Camera, Pistol (examine the handle by rotating it until an eyeball symbol appears and press X), and the Letter from J. van der Berg.
  2. 2
    Use the camera to photograph the mounted fish on the wall (Additional Evidence).
  3. 3
    Examine the flyer on the desk to the left of your belongings (Additional Evidence).
  4. 4
    Exit the ship by climbing onto the dock (Triangle).
  5. 5
    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 finally "Goodbye." Note that choosing "I need somewhere to stay" locks out other dialogue options.
  6. 6
    Proceed north along the pier to a sign pointing to a bar and an exit. Turn right towards the exit.
  7. 7
    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 finally "I'll be going." Other dialogue options are optional.
Tips
  • Lootable objects (marked with a specific symbol) can be repeatedly searched for ammunition and crafting materials. They reset when you leave and return to the area.
  • If you purchased the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and .45 ACP rounds. Use these sparingly as they deplete quickly.
  • Consider investing your initial Skill Point into the "Absolute Clarity" Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • The optional 'Titania Lifeboat' investigation can be accessed by returning to the sign, going left down a path, and then left towards the sea. It offers extra XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton but contains no key evidence.
  • At the Titania Lifeboat, inspect the "TITANIA" 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.
  • Climb into the lifeboat (Triangle) to access some evidence.
Completing the main objectives provides necessary progression. Completing the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation grants an additional 140 XP and an extra conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
