Navigate Salvation Harbor West in The Sinking City 2. This guide covers key evidence, optional investigations, and interactions with Johannes van der Berg and Robert Throgmorton.
Walkthrough
- 1The "Charon" Ship: This is 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, 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. Remember to reload your gun (equip by holding L1, select weapon, press Square).
- 2Additional Evidence on Ship: Take a photo of the mounted fish with your camera and examine the flyer on the desk.
- 3Lootables: Locker to the right of the desk. Lootable contents are randomized (ammo, crafting materials) and reset if you leave and return.
- 4Exit the Boat: Press Triangle to climb onto the dock.
- 5Johannes van der Berg: You'll automatically start a conversation. 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.". Choosing these options locks out some optional dialogue.
- 6Find Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier, turn right at the sign pointing to the exit and stairs.
- 7Robert 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.". Asking about the lifeboat location is optional and not marked on the map.
- 8Titania Lifeboat (Optional Investigation): Return to the sign, go left down a path, then left towards the sea. Find the lifeboat beyond police barricades. No key evidence, but grants 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
- 9Evidence in Lifeboat: Inspect the "TITANIA" nameplate, examine the Diving Helmet (rotate and search the front faceplate; sanity drains if held too long), and find Albert Throgmorton's will on a seat. Climb inside the lifeboat (Triangle) to access some evidence.
- 10Return to Robert Throgmorton: After finding Albert's Will, return to Robert to unlock an optional conversation.
Tips

- Consider putting a free Skill Point (DLC) into "Absolute Clarity" for a 5% XP bonus.
- Lootable objects can be repeatedly looted for ammo and crafting materials. Larger supplies may indicate a more dangerous area.
- The Diving Helmet in the lifeboat drains sanity; don't hold it for too long.
- Optional: 140 XP for clearing the Titania Lifeboat investigation site.
- Optional: Additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton after returning Albert's Will.
