Navigate The Sinking City 2's 'Good Citizen' guide. Learn essential tips, understand objectives, and uncover hidden details to excel in this challenging walkthrough.

This section of the guide covers the 'Good Citizen' aspect of The Sinking City 2. While the provided text focuses on the 'A Frosty Welcome' walkthrough, it contains elements that relate to being a 'good citizen' within the game's context, such as collecting evidence and interacting with NPCs.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The "Charon" Ship: This is your initial investigation location. Collect all key evidence: your belongings (briefcase), the Letter from J. van der Berg, the Camera, and the Pistol. To collect the pistol, examine its handle until an eyeball symbol appears. Also, collect additional evidence: a photo of the trophy plate (using your camera) and the flyer on the desk.
  2. 2
    Interacting with NPCs: After leaving the ship, you'll meet Johannes van der Berg. Engage in conversation and select specific dialogue options to progress. Key choices include discussing your problem, asking about Robert Throgmorton, needing a place to stay, and inquiring about Devil's Reef. Saying goodbye ends the conversation permanently.
  3. 3
    Finding Robert Throgmorton: Proceed north from the pier and turn right at the sign. You'll meet Robert Throgmorton. Key dialogue options to advance the game include asking about his son, the Innsmouthers, the visions, offering to find Albert, and expressing your intent to leave.
  4. 4
    Optional: Lifeboat Titania: If you ask Robert Throgmorton about the lifeboat, you can investigate it. Return to the sign, go left down a path, and then left towards the sea. Collect the optional evidence: the 'TITANIA' nameplate, the Diving Helmet (rotate and examine the front faceplate), and Albert Throgmorton's will. Be cautious as the diving helmet drains sanity.
  5. 5
    Returning Albert's Will: After finding Albert's will, return to Robert Throgmorton to unlock an optional conversation.
Tips
  • Collecting all evidence in a location rewards you with an additional 140 XP.
  • The Submachine Gun (if owned via DLC) is powerful but consumes ammunition quickly; save it for crucial moments.
  • Consider investing a Skill Point into the 'Absolute Clarity' Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects (marked with a symbol) can be repeatedly searched for ammunition and crafting materials. Be aware that abundant loot may indicate a dangerous area.
  • When examining items like the pistol or diving helmet, rotate them to find specific interaction points (e.g., the eyeball symbol on the pistol handle).
  • Dialogue choices can lock off future conversation options, so choose carefully if you want to explore all dialogue branches.
  • The Lifeboat Titania investigation is optional but provides extra XP and an additional conversation.
Completing all key evidence collection in a location grants bonus XP. Successfully navigating conversations and optional objectives contributes to a more thorough playthrough.
