Learn how to find 'A key (2)' in The Sinking City 2 with our detailed walkthrough. Discover essential items, evidence, and tips to progress.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Charon Ship Investigation: Upon arriving in the city, the 'Charon' ship serves as your first investigation location. You must collect key evidence before proceeding. This includes:
    • Your belongings on the table (briefcase). This also grants the 'Letter from J. van der Berg'.
  2. 2
    The 'Camera', a tool for taking pictures as evidence.
  3. 3
    The 'Pistol': Pick it up, rotate it until an 'eyeball' symbol appears on the handle, and press 'X' to examine it. You will also receive 6 .38 pistol rounds. Remember to reload your gun using L1 and Square.
  4. 4
    Optional Evidence on the Charon Ship:
    • Take a photo of the trophy fish mounted on the wall using your camera.
  5. 5
    Examine the flyer on the desk to the left of your belongings.
  6. 6
    Lootable Objects: Look for the lootable symbol to find ammunition and crafting materials. These reset upon leaving and returning to the area.
  7. 7
    Optional Investigation: Lifeboat Titania: After speaking with Johannes van der Berg, you can undertake an optional investigation. Return to the sign pointing to the exit, then go left down a path and left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades. Collecting evidence here grants 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton. The evidence includes:
    • Inspect the 'TITANIA' lifeboat name.
  8. 8
    Examine the 'Diving Helmet' by rotating it and looking at the front faceplate. Be mindful of sanity drain.
  9. 9
    Find 'Albert Throgmorton's will' on one of the lifeboat seats.
Tips
  • If you own the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and .45 ACP rounds. Use this ammo sparingly.
  • Consider investing a Skill Point into 'Absolute Clarity' for a 5% XP bonus.
  • When examining the Pistol, ensure you rotate it to find the 'eyeball' symbol to examine it properly.
  • The Diving Helmet in the lifeboat can drain your sanity if held for too long.
Completing the key evidence on the Charon ship allows you to leave. Completing the optional Lifeboat Titania investigation provides bonus XP and unlocks an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
