Navigate the initial stages of The Sinking City 2 with our comprehensive walkthrough for 'A Frosty Welcome'. Discover key evidence, optional investigations, and character interactions.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    On the 'Charon' Ship: Collect your belongings (briefcase, camera, pistol) as key evidence. Examine the pistol by rotating it until an 'eyeball' symbol appears and pressing X. Use the camera to photograph the mounted fish and examine the flyer on the desk for additional evidence. Lootable objects like lockers can be repeatedly searched for ammo and crafting materials.
  2. 2
    Conversation with Johannes van der Berg: After leaving the ship, speak with Johannes van der Berg. To progress, select dialogue options related to your problem, Robert Throgmorton, needing a place to stay, Devil's Reef, and then say goodbye.
  3. 3
    Finding Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign. Climb the stairs to initiate a conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  4. 4
    Conversation with Robert Throgmorton: To advance, select dialogue options about his son's fate, the Innsmouthers, the visions, your ability to find Albert, and then 'Tell me more about the case' (Robert's Request).
  5. 5
    Optional: Titania Lifeboat Investigation: Return to the sign pointing to the exit. Go left down a path, then left towards the sea. Find the lifeboat beyond police barricades. Inspect the 'TITANIA' name, the Diving Helmet (rotate and search the faceplate, be mindful of sanity drain), and Albert Throgmorton's will on a seat. Climbing inside the lifeboat (Triangle) is necessary for some evidence.
  6. 6
    Concluding the Optional Investigation: Returning Albert's will to Robert Throgmorton unlocks an additional conversation.
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun and .45 ABP rounds are a DLC bonus; use them sparingly as ammo is scarce.
  • Consider investing the free Skill Point (if applicable via DLC) into the 'Absolute Clarity' Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects reset when you leave and return to the area, allowing for repeated collection of ammo and crafting materials.
  • The Titania Lifeboat is an optional investigation that provides extra XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton, but its evidence is not required for main progression.
  • Be cautious when examining the Diving Helmet in the lifeboat, as it drains sanity.

Completing the 'Charon' ship evidence collection and speaking with NPCs progresses the main story. The optional Titania Lifeboat investigation yields additional XP and an extra conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
