Navigate the complex Cavendish family dynamics in The Sinking City 2. This guide provides walkthrough steps, tips, and strategies to resolve the Cavendish family breakup.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by collecting key evidence on the 'Charon' ship: your belongings, the Letter from J. van der Berg, the Camera, and the Pistol. Ensure you examine the pistol by rotating it until an eyeball symbol appears and pressing X.
  2. 2
    Collect additional evidence: photograph the mounted fish with your camera and examine the flyer on the desk.
  3. 3
    Exit the ship and speak with Johannes van der Berg. Key dialogue choices to advance are: "About my problem.", "Where is Robert Throgmorton?", "I need somewhere to stay.", "How do I get to Devil's Reef?", and "Goodbye.". Be aware that selecting "I need somewhere to stay." closes off other dialogue branches.
  4. 4
    Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign. Speak with Robert Throgmorton. Key dialogue choices to advance 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.".
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun and .45 ABP rounds are provided with certain editions/DLCs. Use the initial clip sparingly as .45 ABP rounds are scarce early on.
  • Consider using the free Skill Point from DLC on the 'Absolute Clarity' Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects (marked with a specific symbol) can be repeatedly searched for ammunition and crafting materials. Their contents are randomized.
  • When examining the Diving Helmet in the Titania Lifeboat, be mindful of your sanity draining; do not hold it for too long.
Completing the main objectives will progress the story. Finding and returning Albert Throgmorton's will from the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation to Robert Throgmorton unlocks an additional conversation.
