Navigate Oldgrove (Oldgrove North) in The Sinking City 2 with our comprehensive guide. Discover key locations, items, and objectives to progress through the game.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The guide begins by describing the initial area, the "Charon" Ship, which serves as the player's first investigation location. Players must collect specific evidence before departing.
  2. 2
    Key evidence on the ship includes personal belongings, a Letter from J. van der Berg (obtained by taking the briefcase), a Camera, and a Pistol. The Pistol requires examination of its handle to be fully collected.
  3. 3
    Additional evidence on the ship includes a photograph of a mounted fish (taken with the camera) and a flyer on a desk.
  4. 4
    Lootable objects, marked with a specific symbol, can be found and repeatedly searched for ammunition and crafting materials. Their contents are randomized.
  5. 5
    After leaving the ship, players interact with Johannes van der Berg on the dock. Key dialogue options to advance the game are provided.
  6. 6
    The next objective is to find Robert Throgmorton. Players proceed north along the pier and turn right at a sign.
  7. 7
    A conversation with Robert Throgmorton follows, with specific dialogue choices recommended to advance the game and learn about the case.
  8. 8
    An optional investigation location, the Titania Lifeboat, is detailed. This can be accessed by returning to the sign and heading left down a path towards the sea.
  9. 9
    Evidence at the Titania Lifeboat includes inspecting the boat's name ("TITANIA"), examining a Diving Helmet (which drains sanity if held too long), and finding Albert Throgmorton's will.
  10. 10
    Collecting Albert's Will allows for an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
Tips
  • Collecting all evidence in a location before concluding a case can yield an additional 140 XP.
  • The Submachine Gun (if owned via DLC) is powerful but consumes ammunition rapidly; save its use for critical moments.
  • Consider investing a Skill Point into "Absolute Clarity" for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects reset when the player leaves and returns to the area, allowing for repeated scavenging of materials and ammo.
  • Be cautious when looting containers with large amounts of materials, as they may indicate a higher likelihood of encountering dangerous enemies.
  • The Titania Lifeboat is an optional area; its evidence is not required for main progression but offers XP and further dialogue.
  • When examining the Diving Helmet at the lifeboat, do not hold it for too long to avoid sanity loss.
Collecting all evidence in a location grants an additional 140 XP. Completing the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation also provides XP and unlocks further dialogue with Robert Throgmorton.
