AntMag.NET

Alright, let's tackle the 'Deal with the Devil' investigation in The Sinking City 2. This one's a bit creepy, but we'll get through it. First things first, you'll need to clear the area of any immediate threats. There are four Stygian Harvesters lurking around, so take them out to secure the scene and bag yourself some XP. Don't worry, you'll get +80 XP for your troubles.

Walkthrough

1
Clear the Scene: Take down the four Stygian Harvesters.
2
Faceless Corpse: Head over to the dead body and interact with it. This counts as your first piece of Key Evidence: 'Faceless corpse'.
3
Summoning Sigil: Next, find the bloody symbol painted on the rockface. Interact with it to collect the 'Summoning sigil', your second Key Evidence.
4
Ritual Knife Vision: You'll spot another dead body with a knife nearby. Interact with the knife. Now, activate your Mind's Eye and focus on the image of the past that appears. This will give you the 'Ritual knife vision', Key Evidence number three.
5
Scratch Marks: Now, make your way to the shoreline and interact with the scratches on the rock. This counts as your first piece of regular Evidence: 'Scratch marks'.
6
Diving Suit Vision: Find the diving suit torso. Interact with it, then use your Mind's Eye again and concentrate on the past. This will reveal a new clue, 'Ebernote has the Seal', and give you the 'Diving suit vision', which is Key Evidence number four.

Retrocognition Vision: After collecting the diving suit vision, you'll be prompted to enter the Retrocognition vision on the beach.
8
Chronological Order: Inside the vision, you need to find three critical scenes: the one near the diving suit, the one near the ritual knife, and the one near the faceless corpse. You'll then need to mark these scenes in the correct chronological order. The sequence is: 1. Near the diving suit, 2. Near the ritual knife, 3. Near the faceless corpse.

Case Conclusion: Successfully completing the vision will grant you the 'Conclusion [CASEBOOK, Deal with the Devil]', marking the final piece of Key Evidence (5/5). You'll also get notifications for 'Key Evidence Collected' and 'All Evidence Collected', along with another +184 XP.
