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: This is your first investigation area. Collect key evidence: your belongings (briefcase containing the Letter from J. van der Berg), the Camera, and the Pistol (examine its handle by rotating until an 'eyeball' symbol appears). Additional evidence includes a photo of a trophy plate (use the camera on the fish mounted on the wall) and a flyer (examine the one on the desk). Lootable objects like lockers can be repeatedly searched for ammo and crafting materials.
  2. 2
    Conversation with Johannes van der Berg: After leaving the ship, you'll speak with Johannes van der Berg. Key dialogue options 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.". Choosing these options progresses the game and locks out other conversational paths.
  3. 3
    Finding Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign pointing to the exit. Stairs lead to Robert Throgmorton.
  4. 4
    Conversation with Robert Throgmorton: Key dialogue options to advance: "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.". Asking about the lifeboat's location is an optional but one-time dialogue option.
  5. 5
    Optional: Titania Lifeboat Investigation: Return to the sign pointing to the exit, then go left down a path and left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades. Evidence here is optional but grants 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton. Collect: the Lifeboat Name 'TITANIA', the Diving Helmet (rotate and search the front faceplate), and Albert Throgmorton's will (on a seat).
Tips
  • Collecting all evidence in a location grants an additional 140 XP.
  • If you own the Necronomicon Edition or DLC, you receive a Submachine Gun and .45 ACP rounds. Use these sparingly as they deplete quickly.
  • Consider investing a Skill Point into 'Absolute Clarity' for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects reset when you leave and return to an area, allowing for repeated collection of ammo and crafting materials. Be aware that large amounts of loot may indicate nearby danger.
  • When examining the Diving Helmet at the Titania Lifeboat, be mindful of your sanity draining over time.
Completing the 'Charon' ship evidence collection and speaking with Johannes van der Berg allows you to proceed to find Robert Throgmorton. Completing the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation unlocks an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
