Complete walkthrough for ADVENT (Advent Central) (4) in The Sinking City 2. Find all evidence, complete objectives, and uncover the mysteries of the city.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The "Charon" Ship: This is your first investigation location. Collect key evidence: your belongings on the table (briefcase, camera, pistol). To collect the pistol, pick it up, rotate until an eyeball symbol appears on the handle, and press X to examine. You'll receive 6 .38 pistol rounds. Note: Your gun is not loaded initially; reload by holding L1, selecting the gun, and pressing Square.
  2. 2
    Additional Evidence on Ship: Use your camera to photograph the mounted fish (Photo of a trophy plate). Examine the flyer on the desk to the left of your belongings (Flyer).
  3. 3
    Lootables: Search the locker to the right of the desk. Lootable contents are randomized and can be reset by leaving and returning to the area. They provide ammunition and crafting materials.
  4. 4
    Leaving the Ship: Collect your belongings to allow the ship captain to leave.
  5. 5
    Speaking with Johannes van der Berg: After climbing onto the dock (Triangle), you'll speak with Johannes van der Berg. To advance the game, select: "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 other dialogue branches.
  6. 6
    Finding Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier to a sign pointing to a bar and an exit. Turn right and go up the stairs to automatically start a conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  7. 7
    Speaking 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.", "I'll be going.". Other questions are optional.
  8. 8
    Optional: Lifeboat Titania: Return to the sign, go left down a path, then left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades. Evidence here is optional but grants 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  9. 9
    Evidence in Lifeboat: Inspect the Lifeboat Name ("TITANIA"). Rotate the Diving Helmet and search the front faceplate. Find Albert Throgmorton's will on a seat. Climb inside the lifeboat (Triangle) to access some evidence. Be cautious, as looking at the diving helmet drains sanity.
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun (if owned via DLC) consumes bullets rapidly; save its initial clip.
  • Consider putting the free Skill Point (if applicable) into "Absolute Clarity" for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects can be repeatedly searched for materials and ammo. Higher quantities of loot may indicate a more dangerous area.
  • The Lifeboat Titania is an optional investigation site; its evidence is not required for main progression.

Completing the main objectives of this section progresses the story. Optional objectives, like clearing the Lifeboat Titania, provide additional XP and unlock further dialogue.
