Navigate the treacherous waters of The Sinking City 2 with our comprehensive walkthrough for the Advent (Advent West) (2) section. Discover all key evidence, optional objectives, and tips to progress.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    On the "Charon" Ship: This is your first investigation location. Collect all key evidence to progress.
    • Key Evidence: Your belongings (briefcase containing a Letter from J. van der Berg), Camera, and Pistol. To collect the pistol, pick it up, rotate it until an "eyeball" symbol appears on the handle, and press X to examine. You will also receive 6 .38 pistol rounds.
  2. 2
    Additional Evidence: Use your camera to photograph the mounted fish on the wall. Examine the flyer on the desk to the left of your belongings.
  3. 3
    Lootables: Search the locker to the right of the desk for ammunition and crafting materials. Lootable contents reset upon returning to the area.
  4. 4
    Exiting the Ship: After collecting key evidence, climb onto the dock (Triangle) to speak with Johannes van der Berg. Select "About my problem," "Where is Robert Throgmorton?", "I need somewhere to stay," "How do I get to Devil's Reef?", and "Goodbye" to advance.
  5. 5
    Finding Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign. Go up the stairs to automatically start a conversation with Robert Throgmorton. 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 "I'll be going." to advance.
  6. 6
    Optional: Lifeboat Titania Investigation: Return to the sign pointing to the exit. Go left down a path, then left toward the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades.
    • Additional Evidence: Inspect the lifeboat name "TITANIA." Rotate the Diving Helmet and search the front faceplate. Find Albert Throgmorton's will on a seat. Climbing inside the lifeboat (Triangle) is required for some evidence. Be aware that looking at the diving helmet drains sanity.
  7. 7
    Completing Optional Investigation: Return to Robert Throgmorton with Albert's Will to unlock an optional conversation.
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun and .45 ACP rounds are provided with the Necronomicon Edition or DLC. Use the initial clip sparingly as .45 ACP rounds are scarce early on.
  • Consider investing the free Skill Point (if DLC is owned) into the "Absolute Clarity" Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Reloading your gun: Equip your gun via the weapon wheel (hold L1), then press Square to reload.
  • Lootable objects can be repeatedly searched for ammo and crafting materials. Higher quantities of loot may indicate a more dangerous area.
Collecting all evidence on the "Charon" ship grants an additional 140 XP. Completing the optional Lifeboat Titania investigation grants an additional 140 XP and an extra conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
