Complete walkthrough for The Sinking City 2's Coverside West (4) section. Find key evidence, complete optional tasks, and uncover all secrets in this detailed guide.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The "Charon" Ship: This is your first investigation location. Collect key evidence before leaving.
    • Key Evidence: Your belongings (briefcase), Letter from J. van der Berg, Camera, and 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 also receive 6 .38 pistol rounds. Note: Your gun is not loaded initially; equip and press Square to reload.
  2. 2
    Additional Evidence: Use your camera to photograph the Photo of a trophy plate (fish on the wall) and examine the Flyer on the desk.
  3. 3
    Lootables: A locker to the right of the desk can be repeatedly looted for ammunition and crafting materials.
  4. 4
    Conversation with Johannes van der Berg: After collecting your belongings, exit the boat by climbing onto the dock (Triangle). Speak with Johannes van der Berg. To advance the game, select the following dialogue options: "About my problem.", "Where is Robert Throgmorton?", "I need somewhere to stay.", "How do I get to Devil's Reef?", "Goodbye.". Choosing these options will conclude the conversation and lock out other dialogue branches.
  5. 5
    Finding Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign pointing to the exit. Go up the stairs to automatically start a conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  6. 6
    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.". Asking about the lifeboat's location is optional and will not be repeated.
  7. 7
    Optional Investigation: Titania Lifeboat: Return to the sign, go left down a path, and turn left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades. This investigation is optional but rewards 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
    • Additional Evidence: Inspect the Lifeboat Name "TITANIA", examine the Diving Helmet (rotate and search the front faceplate; sanity drains while looking at it), and find Albert Throgmorton's will on a seat. Climb inside the lifeboat (Triangle) to access some evidence.
Tips
  • If you own the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and 30 .45 ABP rounds. Use this ammo sparingly as it depletes quickly.
  • Consider investing a Skill Point into the "Absolute Clarity" Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects can be reset by leaving and returning to the area, allowing for repeated collection of materials and ammo.
  • Be cautious when examining the Diving Helmet in the Titania Lifeboat, as it drains sanity.
Collecting all key evidence on the "Charon" ship grants an additional 140 XP. Completing the optional "Titania Lifeboat" investigation also grants 140 XP and unlocks an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
