Ebernote fights the curse

Follow our guide to complete the 'Deal with the Devil' main case in The Sinking City 2. Learn how to find the Seal and uncover Ebernote Blackwood's secrets.

This section covers the 'Deal with the Devil' main case. You'll start at the Hospital of St. Mary, waking up with Johannes van der Berg by your side. Your Seal is missing, and Harriet Dough is also in the hospital, found in the Calmshore Marina. The doctor mentions a regular named Billy Drunnon who might know something. A document reveals Billy is a regular at The Seven Oaks bar. At The Seven Oaks, Billy Drunnon admits he found you on Calm Shore but didn't see the Seal. He might ask for a drink as thanks – you can give him a bullet or refuse. Heading to Calm Shore, you'll face wylebeasts. Using Mind's Eye, you'll find clues pointing to Ebernote Blackwood. A retrocognition sequence reveals Ebernote found you washed ashore, ecstatic about having the Seal, and then hurried back to his manor. He summoned wylebeasts to stop the Yellow Kings from taking you. Back at The Seven Oaks, Billy left a note. The bartender tells you Blackwood Manor is on a cliff in Grimhaven Bay. At Blackwood Manor, prepare for wylebeasts. The main entrance is blocked, but Mind's Eye can help you bypass an illusion on the back door. In the basement, you'll find a key on the second floor, along with a Ritual log detailing Ebernote's failed attempts to extract a 'dreamer's seed' and mentioning another 'Chosen'. After a retrocognition, you'll learn Ebernote's ritual failed, making him believe he needed a stronger focus from Cthygonnaar. With the key, you can unlock a door revealing a painting and a postcard. This section doesn't detail Ebernote fighting a curse, but rather his attempts to use the Seal and rituals.
