Learn how to complete the 'An Old Newspaper' side case in The Sinking City. Find all the treasures and follow the clues to uncover the mystery.

This guide covers the 'Fool's Gold' side case, which starts with the document 'Send Gunners!' found at the Oakmont Police Department in the holding cell room. The archive combination is 'property crimes, documentation and the shells'. ## Simms Residence Head to South Advent, on Purity Road between St. Michael's Road and Powderhouse Street. Inside, you'll face some Wylebeasts. After clearing them out, search upstairs. You'll find 'Conspiracies' and a Pin, which point to other locations. ## No Time to Waste Your next stop is North Oldgrove, Willow Lane between Bullock Street and Windhalf Avenue. Explore the store, and upstairs you'll find a note titled 'Tommy, help'. The treasure, a heavy ring, is on a counter, hidden by an illusory vase. ## Blood Sample Travel to Western Advent, Purity Road, south of Huracan Road and Vinland Avenue. In this ruined house, search upstairs. Behind an illusory wall on a metal desk, you'll find the treasure: a medallion. ## The Orchard Head to Western Shells, the orchard between Liberty Rd and St. Michael's Rd.. Near a large tree in this infested area, look for an illusory rock. The treasure, a necklace, is hidden there. ## Pile of Rubble Go to Southern Coverside, Lincoln Street between Derry Land and Landing Avenue. This is a ruined house, and it's also the same location as the House in Coverside from the 'Open House' case. Upstairs, behind an illusory wall, you'll find a ring on a table. ## Close to Water Make your way to Central Grimhaven Bay, on Funtlock Street, south of Webster Street. You can access this abandoned structure through a hole in a wooden fence. In the basement, behind an illusory wall, you'll find a tiara next to a corpse strapped to a table. ## Urban Ruin Your next destination is Eastern Grimhaven Bay, east of the intersection of Deepshore Road, Derry Land and Wharf Street. Again, enter the abandoned structure through a hole in the fence. In the basement, behind an illusory wall, look for a vessel on a stack of mattresses. ## Jackpot Finally, head to Holy Fire Lane, between Ambrose Street and Freedom Avenue, in The Shells east. In this ruined building, which is infested, search upstairs. Behind an illusory wall, you'll find the treasure: a Wreath, next to a map.
