Navigate Reed Heights (Reed Heights South) in The Sinking City 2 with our comprehensive guide. Discover key evidence, optional objectives, and essential tips for progression.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The "Charon" Ship: Your first investigation location. Collect key evidence: your belongings (briefcase), the Letter from J. van der Berg, the Camera, and the Pistol. To collect the pistol, examine its handle until an eyeball symbol appears and press X. You also receive 6 .38 pistol rounds.
  2. 2
    Reloading: Equip your gun (hold L1, select weapon) and press Square to reload before firing.
  3. 3
    Additional Evidence on Ship: Use your camera to photograph the mounted fish trophy on the wall. Examine the flyer on the desk to the left of your belongings.
  4. 4
    Lootables: Search lockers and other lootable objects (marked with a specific symbol) for ammunition and crafting materials. These reset when you leave and return to the area.
  5. 5
    Exiting the Boat: After collecting evidence, climb onto the dock (Triangle).
  6. 6
    Johannes van der Berg Conversation: You will automatically speak with Johannes van der Berg. Key dialogue choices to advance are: "About my problem.", "Where is Robert Throgmorton?", "I need somewhere to stay.", "How do I get to Devil's Reef?", and "Goodbye." Choosing other options may lock you out of certain dialogue branches.
  7. 7
    Finding Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign pointing to the exit. Stairs will lead to Robert Throgmorton.
  8. 8
    Robert Throgmorton Conversation: Key dialogue choices to advance are: "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 "I'll be going."
  9. 9
    Optional: Lifeboat Titania: To access this, return to the sign, go left down a path, and turn left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades.
  10. 10
    Evidence in Lifeboat: Inspect the lifeboat name "TITANIA". Rotate the Diving Helmet and search its front faceplate (be mindful of sanity drain). Collect Albert Throgmorton's will from a seat. You may need to climb inside the lifeboat (Triangle).
  11. 11
    Returning the Will: After finding Albert's Will, return to Robert Throgmorton to unlock an optional conversation.
Tips

  • Lootable contents are randomized and can be reset by leaving and returning to the area.
  • The Diving Helmet in the Titania Lifeboat drains sanity; do not hold it for too long.
  • Collecting all evidence in a location before finishing a case grants an additional 140 XP.
  • Optional: 140 XP for clearing the Titania Lifeboat investigation site.
  • Optional: Access to an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
