Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for 'A Frosty Welcome' in The Sinking City 2, detailing key evidence, optional investigations, and character interactions.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    'Charon' Ship Investigation: Upon arriving in the city, the ship you're on serves as your first investigation site. Collect all key evidence to progress.
  2. 2
    Key Evidence:
  3. 3
    Your belongings (briefcase) which includes the Letter from J. van der Berg.
  4. 4
    Camera: A tool to take pictures for evidence.
  5. 5
    Pistol: Pick it up, rotate until an 'eyeball' symbol appears on the handle, and press X to examine. You'll receive 6 .38 pistol rounds. Note: The gun needs to be reloaded (L1 for weapon wheel, then Square) before firing.
  6. 6
    Additional Evidence:
  7. 7
    Photo of a trophy plate: Use your camera on the fish mounted on the wall.
  8. 8
    Flyer: Examine the flyer on the desk.
  9. 9
    Lootables: Interact with the Locker to the right of the desk for ammunition and crafting materials. Lootable contents are randomized and reset upon leaving and returning to the area.
  10. 10
    Conversation with Johannes van der Berg: After collecting your belongings, climb onto the dock (Triangle) and speak with Johannes van der Berg. Select dialogue options related to your problem, finding Robert Throgmorton, needing a place to stay, Devil's Reef, and then say goodbye to advance the game. Choosing specific dialogue options locks out others.
  11. 11
    Finding Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier to a sign pointing to a bar and exit. Turn right and go up the stairs to automatically start a conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  12. 12
    Conversation with Robert Throgmorton: Engage in conversation, selecting options about his son's condition, the Innsmouthers, visions, finding Albert, and his request to advance the game. Specific dialogue choices, like asking about the lifeboat's location, are one-time opportunities.
  13. 13
    Optional Investigation: Titania Lifeboat: Return to the sign with directions. Go left down a path, then left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades. This optional investigation yields 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  14. 14
    Additional Evidence (Titania Lifeboat):
  15. 15
    Inspect the TITANIA name on the Lifeboat.
  16. 16
    Examine the Diving Helmet, rotating it to find a search prompt on the front faceplate. Be mindful of sanity drain while examining.
  17. 17
    Find Albert Throgmorton's will on one of the seats.
  18. 18
    Returning the Will: After finding Albert's Will, return to Robert Throgmorton to unlock an optional conversation.
Tips
  • If you own the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and .45 ACP rounds. Use these sparingly as they consume ammo quickly.
  • Consider investing a Skill Point into the 'Absolute Clarity' Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects can be repeatedly looted for ammo and crafting materials.
  • The Titania Lifeboat investigation is optional but provides extra XP and lore.
  • Completing the 'Charon' ship evidence collection and progressing the conversation with Johannes van der Berg allows you to leave the ship.
  • Completing the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation grants 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
