Navigate The Sinking City 2's 'Fathers and Sons' quest. Follow our guide to research ads, find Toothless Bob's wake, and complete the bartender's favor.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Fred's Demand: Fred believes smugglers use coded ads in the Oakmont Chronicle. Head to the Chronicle to research. The correct research choices are: PERIOD: AFTER THE FLOOD, PEOPLE: JOURNALISTS, SECTION: ADVERTISEMENTS, DISTRICT: SALVATION HARBOR.
  2. 2
    Toothless Bob's Wake: After the research, you'll learn about a wake at the Seven Oaks Bar in Western Salvation Harbor, at the intersection of Calmshore St and Salvation Rd.
  3. 3
    Seven Oaks Bar: Go to the bar and speak with the Bartender. Select the dialogue options: "I'm looking to leave the city.", "I came for Toothless Bob's wake.", "I worked for Throgmorton." (or "Maybe I can do you a favor?"), and finally "Farewell.".
  4. 4
    A Favor for the Bartender: The bartender will offer a side mission to check on a late courier and retrieve a crate of illegal booze. The courier's last known location is Western Grimhaven Bay, Levi Coffin Ave, near the intersection with Marsh Ave.
  5. 5
    Courier's Final Destination: Travel to the location in Western Grimhaven Bay. Be prepared for Wylebeasts, including Stygians, Lethians, and Cocitians. Cocitians have a weak spot on their backs that can be shot when they lunge and are vulnerable.
  6. 6
    Gather Evidence: In the warehouse, find the following key evidence in the basement: Wheel tracks, Blood stains, a Skeleton tied to a pipe, a Gas Can on a crate, and Whiskey bottles behind an illusory wall.
  7. 7
    Retrocognition: After finding all the evidence, use Retrocognition near the bottom of the stairs to reveal the next step.
Tips
  • The Oakmont Chronicle research requires specific choices to progress.
  • The Seven Oaks Bar requires careful dialogue selection to get the bartender's cooperation.
  • The courier's location in Grimhaven Bay is near an infested area, but you can approach it from the northeast to avoid the main infestation.
  • Watch out for Wylebeasts, especially the Cocitians, and aim for their weak spots.
  • The illusory wall in the basement hides additional evidence (whiskey bottles).
