Complete walkthrough for The Sinking City 2's Oldgrove South (4) section. Find all key evidence, complete optional objectives, and learn about the 'A Frosty Welcome' case.
Walkthrough
- 1On the 'Charon' Ship: Collect your belongings from the table. This includes the Letter from J. van der Berg (by taking the briefcase), the Camera, and your Pistol. To collect the pistol, pick it up, rotate it until an 'eyeball' symbol appears on the handle, and press X to examine. You will receive 6 .38 pistol rounds. Note that your gun is not loaded and requires a reload (hold L1 for weapon wheel, select gun, press Square).
- 2Additional Evidence on Ship: Use your camera to take a picture of the mounted fish on the wall (Photo of a trophy plate). Examine the flyer on the desk to the left of your belongings (Flyer).
- 3Lootables on Ship: Search the locker to the right of the desk. Lootable contents are randomized and provide ammunition and crafting materials. They reset if you leave and return to the area.
- 4Exit the Boat: Climb onto the dock by pressing Triangle.
- 5Speak with Johannes van der Berg: Initiate a conversation with Johannes van der Berg. To advance the game, select the following dialogue options: "About my problem.", "Where is Robert Throgmorton?", "I need somewhere to stay.", "How do I get to Devil's Reef?", "Goodbye.". Choosing other options will lock you out of certain dialogue branches.
- 6Find Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign pointing to the exit. Ascend the stairs to automatically start a conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
- 7Speak 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.", "I'll be going.". Optional questions can be asked, but selecting "I'll be going." ends the conversation permanently.
- 8Optional: Titania Lifeboat Investigation: Return to the sign pointing to the exit. Go left down a path, then left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades. No evidence here is required for the main case, but you will receive 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
- 9Evidence at Titania Lifeboat: Inspect the lifeboat name (TITANIA). Rotate the Diving Helmet and search its front faceplate. Find Albert Throgmorton's will on one of the seats. You may need to climb inside the lifeboat (Triangle) to collect some evidence. Be cautious, as looking at the diving helmet for too long will drain your sanity.
- 10Return to Robert Throgmorton: After finding Albert's Will, return to Robert Throgmorton to unlock an optional conversation.
