Walkthrough for The Sinking City 2: Coverside West (10). Find key evidence, complete optional tasks, and uncover the secrets of this challenging area.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The "Charon" Ship: This is your initial investigation location. Collect key evidence: your belongings on the table (briefcase, camera, 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 receive 6 .38 pistol rounds.
  2. 2
    Key Evidence:
    • Briefcase: Contains the Letter from J. van der Berg.
  3. 3
    Camera: A usable item for taking pictures as evidence.
  4. 4
    Pistol: Requires examination as described above.
  5. 5
    Reloading: To reload your gun, equip it via the weapon wheel (hold L1) and press Square.
  6. 6
    Additional Evidence:
    • Photo of a trophy plate: Use your camera on the fish mounted on the wall.
  7. 7
    Flyer: Examine the flyer on the desk.
  8. 8
    Lootables: Look for the lootable symbol. These containers (like lockers) can be searched repeatedly for ammunition and crafting materials. Their contents may be randomized.
  9. 9
    Casebook Tasks - Letter from J. van der Berg: Exit the boat by climbing onto the dock (Triangle). 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 finally "Goodbye." Note that choosing specific dialogue options can lock out others.
  10. 10
    Casebook Tasks - Find Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier to a sign with directions. Turn right towards the "exit." Ascend the stairs to automatically begin a conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  11. 11
    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.", and "I'll be going." Other dialogue branches are optional.
  12. 12
    Optional Tasks - Lifeboat Titania: Return to the sign with directions. Go left down a path, then left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades. This is optional but grants 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  13. 13
    Titania Lifeboat Evidence:
    • Inspect the "TITANIA" name on the Lifeboat.
  14. 14
    Examine the Diving Helmet: Rotate it to see the front faceplate and search. Be mindful of sanity drain while examining.
  15. 15
    Albert Throgmorton's will: Located on one of the lifeboat seats.
Tips
  • Consider putting your initial Skill Point into "Absolute Clarity" for a 5% XP bonus.
  • The Submachine Gun (if owned via DLC) is powerful but consumes ammunition rapidly; save its initial clip for critical moments.
  • Lootable objects reset when you leave and return to the area, allowing for repeated collection of resources.
  • Be cautious with the Diving Helmet in the Titania Lifeboat, as prolonged examination can drain your sanity.
  • Collecting all key evidence in a location before finishing a case grants an additional 140 XP.
  • Completing the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation grants an additional 140 XP and unlocks an optional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
