Uncover the secrets of 'Ritual could save me' in The Sinking City 2. This comprehensive guide provides step-by-step walkthroughs, tips, and strategies to help you succeed.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The "Charon" Ship: This is your initial investigation location. Collect key evidence: your belongings (briefcase), the Letter from J. van der Berg, the Camera, and the Pistol. For the Pistol, pick it up, rotate it until an "eyeball" symbol appears on the handle, and press X to examine. You'll receive 6 .38 pistol rounds.
  2. 2
    Key Evidence on Ship:
    • Briefcase: Contains your belongings and the Letter from J. van der Berg.
  3. 3
    Camera: Use to take pictures as evidence.
  4. 4
    Pistol: Examine as described above.
  5. 5
    Additional Evidence on Ship:
    • Photo of a trophy plate: Use your camera on the fish mounted on the wall.
  6. 6
    Flyer: Examine the flyer on the desk.
  7. 7
    Lootables: Search lockers and other lootable objects (marked with a specific symbol) for ammunition and crafting materials. These reset upon leaving and returning to the area.
  8. 8
    Conversation with Johannes van der Berg: After leaving the ship, climb onto the dock (Triangle). Engage in a conversation 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." Choosing these options locks out other conversational branches.
  9. 9
    Finding Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier to a sign. Turn right towards the bar and exit. Go up the stairs to start a conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  10. 10
    Conversation 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," and finally "I'll be going." Other dialogue options are optional.
  11. 11
    Optional: Lifeboat Titania 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.
  12. 12
    This is not required for progression but grants 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  13. 13
    Additional Evidence in Lifeboat:
    • Inspect the lifeboat name "TITANIA."
  14. 14
    Examine the Diving Helmet: Rotate it and look at the front faceplate. Be quick, as prolonged examination drains sanity.
  15. 15
    Find Albert Throgmorton's will on a seat.
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun (if owned via DLC) is powerful but consumes ammunition quickly; save its clip for important moments.
  • Consider putting your free Skill Point (if DLC owned) into the "Absolute Clarity" Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects can be repeatedly searched for resources.
  • Be mindful of the sanity drain when examining the diving helmet in the optional Lifeboat Titania investigation.
Completing the key evidence on the "Charon" ship and progressing through conversations with Johannes van der Berg and Robert Throgmorton is necessary to advance the main story. The optional Lifeboat Titania investigation provides additional XP and an extra conversation.
