The Sinking City 2: Navigate Fathers and Sons

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you've made it to the seabed in The Sinking City 2, and you're tackling the 'Fathers and Sons' part of the investigation. This section can be a bit tricky with all the illusions and environmental hazards, but don't worry, I'll walk you through it. You'll be collecting some key evidence and gaining XP, so keep an eye out for those!

Walkthrough

1
First off, you'll need to use your Mind's Eye ability. Look for something that seems like a 'turned A' – this is actually an illusionary rock face. Focusing on it with Mind's Eye will dispel it, opening your path.
2
Once that's clear, you'll see stone pillars topped with an eye marking. Follow these, and don't be afraid to climb when necessary. Using Mind's Eye again will make these eye markings much easier to spot.
3
As you get higher, you'll encounter hydrothermal vents and chasms. The path can get a bit complicated here, but the general idea is to keep following those eye markings. If you hit a chasm, go around it to the left and make sure to avoid the vents.
4
You'll come to a rock arch. Go through it, but be careful to steer clear of the chasm that's off to its right.
5
Just past this arch, you'll find another eye marking. From here, there are a couple of ways to proceed towards Reed's destination. One route takes you far to the right, offering a nice view of a sunken ship and avoiding most of the vents. Alternatively, you can go straight past the eye near the arch, hug the rock face to your left, and carefully navigate around another chasm while still avoiding the vents. Both paths will get you where you need to go.
6
You'll eventually spot a glowing cavern in the distance. This is your goal, but it's guarded by a larger, more active version of the cephalo-skull you might have encountered earlier.
7
Now, about stealth: turning off your diving suit's light might make it slightly harder for the creature to sense you, but it's not a foolproof method. Your best bet is to try and lure the creature into getting stuck in the hydrothermal vents. Once it's distracted or stuck, make a run for the cavern entrance.
8
Try your best to reach the cavern entrance with as much health as possible. This encounter can drain your health quickly if you're not careful.

Tips

Don't underestimate the environmental hazards; the vents and chasms can easily kill you.
Mind's Eye is your best friend here – use it frequently to spot paths and avoid illusions.
When dealing with the cephalo-skull, patience is key. Luring it into the vents is much safer than trying to fight it head-on.
