Navigate the 'A Frosty Welcome' quest in The Sinking City 2. Find key evidence on the 'Charon' ship and discover optional investigations like the Titania Lifeboat.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    On the 'Charon' Ship: Collect your belongings (briefcase, camera, pistol). Examine the pistol by rotating it until an eyeball symbol appears and pressing X. Use the camera to photograph the mounted fish trophy. Examine the flyer on the desk.
  2. 2
    Key Evidence: Your belongings, Letter from J. van der Berg (from briefcase), Camera, Pistol (examine for 6 .38 rounds).
  3. 3
    Additional Evidence: Photo of trophy plate (fish), Flyer (examine).
  4. 4
    Lootables: Search lockers for random ammunition and crafting materials. These reset upon leaving and returning to the area.
  5. 5
    Conversations: After leaving the ship, climb the dock (Triangle) to speak with Johannes van der Berg. Key dialogue options to advance: "About my problem.", "Where is Robert Throgmorton?", "I need somewhere to stay.", "How do I get to Devil's Reef?", "Goodbye.". Note that choosing "I need somewhere to stay" locks out other dialogue branches.
  6. 6
    Finding Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier to a sign. Turn right towards the bar/exit and go up the stairs to speak with Robert Throgmorton. Key dialogue options to advance: "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.".
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun and .45 ACP rounds are a DLC bonus and consume ammo quickly; save them for special occasions.
  • Consider investing a Skill Point into "Absolute Clarity" for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Reloading your gun is done by equipping it and pressing Square.
  • Lootable containers may indicate the danger level of an area based on their contents.
  • When examining the Diving Helmet at the Titania Lifeboat, be mindful of your sanity draining over time.

Completing the 'A Frosty Welcome' quest and its initial objectives progresses the main story. The optional Titania Lifeboat investigation yields an additional 140 XP and unlocks an extra conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
