Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for 'A Frosty Welcome' in The Sinking City 2, guiding you through evidence collection on the Charon ship and optional investigations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    On the Charon Ship: Collect key evidence: your belongings from the table (briefcase containing a Letter from J. van der Berg), the Camera, and the Pistol (examine the handle by rotating it until an eyeball symbol appears, then press X). You receive 6 .38 pistol rounds. You must reload your gun before firing.
  2. 2
    Optional Evidence on Ship: Use your camera to photograph the mounted fish trophy on the wall. Examine the flyer on the desk to the left of the table.
  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.
  4. 4
    Speak to Johannes van der Berg: Exit the boat by pressing Triangle to climb onto the dock. Engage in conversation 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."
  5. 5
    Find Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign. Go up the stairs to begin a conversation 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."
  6. 6
    Optional: Titania Lifeboat Investigation: Return to the sign. Go left down a path, then left towards the sea. Find the lifeboat beyond police barricades.
  7. 7
    Evidence in Lifeboat: Inspect the "TITANIA" nameplate. Examine the Diving Helmet (rotate and search the front faceplate; be mindful of sanity drain). Collect Albert Throgmorton's will from a seat. You may need to press Triangle to climb inside.
  8. 8
    Return to Robert Throgmorton: After finding Albert's Will, return to Robert Throgmorton to unlock an optional conversation.
Tips
  • If you own the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and 30 .45 ABP rounds. This weapon consumes ammo quickly; save its initial clip.
  • Consider putting a free Skill Point (if applicable via DLC) into the "Absolute Clarity" Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects can be searched repeatedly and reset after leaving and returning to the area, providing ammunition and crafting materials.
  • The Titania Lifeboat investigation is optional but grants extra XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  • Be cautious when examining the Diving Helmet in the lifeboat, as your sanity will drain over time.
Completing the key evidence on the Charon ship and speaking with the NPCs progresses the main story. Completing the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation grants additional XP and an optional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
