Complete walkthrough for Carpenter Manor (3) in The Sinking City 2. Find all evidence, solve puzzles, and uncover the secrets of this haunted location.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon entering Carpenter Manor (3), players must first collect their belongings from a table. This includes the Letter from J. van der Berg, the Camera, and the Pistol.
  2. 2
    To collect the Pistol, pick it up, rotate it until an "eyeball" symbol appears on the handle, and press X to examine it. This also grants 6 .38 pistol rounds.
  3. 3
    Players must then take a picture of the strange fish mounted on the wall using the Camera as additional evidence.
  4. 4
    Examine the flyer on the desk to the left of the table for more optional information.
  5. 5
    A locker to the right of the desk is lootable for ammunition and crafting materials. Lootable contents are randomized and can be reset by leaving and returning to the area.
  6. 6
    After collecting initial evidence, exit the boat by climbing onto the dock (Triangle).
  7. 7
    Engage in a conversation with Johannes van der Berg. Key dialogue choices to advance the game are: "About my problem.", "Where is Robert Throgmorton?", "I need somewhere to stay.", "How do I get to Devil's Reef?", and "Goodbye.". Choosing "I need somewhere to stay." locks out further optional dialogue branches.
  8. 8
    Proceed north along the pier to a sign with directions to a bar and an exit. Turn right towards the exit.
  9. 9
    Climb the stairs to initiate a conversation with Robert Throgmorton. Key dialogue choices to advance the game are: "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.".
  10. 10
    An optional investigation at the Titania Lifeboat is available. Return to the sign, go left down a path, then left towards the sea.
  11. 11
    At the Titania Lifeboat, inspect the "TITANIA" name, examine the Diving Helmet (rotate and search the front faceplate), and collect "Albert Throgmorton's will" from a seat. Be cautious as looking at the diving helmet drains sanity.
  12. 12
    Returning Albert's Will to Robert Throgmorton unlocks an optional conversation.
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun and 30 .45 ABP rounds are provided if the Necronomicon Edition or DLC is purchased. This weapon consumes ammunition quickly; save its initial clip.
  • Consider putting a free Skill Point (if DLC is owned) into the "Absolute Clarity" Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects provide randomized ammunition and crafting materials and can be repeatedly looted. Higher-value loot may indicate a more dangerous area.
  • The Titania Lifeboat is an optional investigation site that provides extra XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton, but its evidence is not required for the main casebook.
  • Collecting all key evidence in a location before concluding the case grants an additional 140 XP.
  • Completing the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation grants an additional 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
