[Location, THE SHELLS]

Guide to The Shells location in The Sinking City 2. Learn about the characters, clues, and deductions needed to progress through the Open House side case.

Alright, let's head over to The Shells. This is part of the 'Open House' side case, and we'll be talking to a couple of key people to get things rolling.

First up, make your way to the eastern side of the Fish Market's main building. You're looking for a man who's, uh, prophesying. Approach him – his name is Ebernote Blackwood.

You'll have a few dialogue options with Ebernote:

• You're optimistic?
• You're a Blackwood?
• See you, then.

After that chat, head to the southern part of the same building. You'll find a woman handing out free fish. This is Anna Liddel.

She's quite generous, so you'll have a longer conversation with her. Here are the options you can pick:

• Why such generosity?
• Tell me more about the EOD.
• Don't call me Charlie.
• What does "EOD" mean?
• Where are your superiors?
• Do I receive something for the rank?
• How can I prove myself?
• Sail somewhere?
• What job?
• I'm in.
• Bye.

Once you're done talking with Anna, you'll get a few new things added to your Mind Palace:

• New Mind Palace Clue: [Oakmont is starving]
• New Mind Palace Clue: [EOD is giving away fish]
• Anna's request: [CASEBOOK, Quid Pro Quo]

Now, open up your Mind Palace. You need to connect the dots here. Combine the clues "Oakmont is starving" and "EOD is giving away fish". This will lead you to a deduction: [The EOD helps prevent famine].
