Learn how to overcome the 'Previous Seeds Died' challenge in The Sinking City 2. This guide provides strategies and tips to help you succeed.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    'Charon' Ship Investigation:
    • Collect key evidence: Your belongings (briefcase), Letter from J. van der Berg, Camera, and Pistol. To collect the pistol, examine its handle until an 'eyeball' symbol appears and press X. You receive 6 .38 pistol rounds.
  2. 2
    Collect additional evidence: Use your camera to photograph the mounted fish (trophy plate) and examine the flyer on the desk.
  3. 3
    Lootable objects (e.g., lockers) can be repeatedly searched for ammunition and crafting materials. Their contents are randomized.
  4. 4
    Reload your weapon by equipping it and pressing Square.
  5. 5
    Conversations:
    • After collecting belongings, speak with Johannes van der Berg. Key dialogue options to advance the game are: 'About my problem.', 'Where is Robert Throgmorton?', 'I need somewhere to stay.', 'How do I get to Devil's Reef?', 'Goodbye.'.
  6. 6
    Proceed north and turn right at the sign to find Robert Throgmorton. Key dialogue options to advance the game are: 'What happened to your son?', 'Who are the Innsmouthers?', 'What do you know about the visions?', 'I can try to find Albert.', 'Tell me more about the case.', 'I'll be going.'.
  7. 7
    Optional: Titania Lifeboat Investigation:
    • Return to the sign, go left down a path, then left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades.
  8. 8
    Collect optional evidence: Inspect the Lifeboat Name ('TITANIA'), examine the Diving Helmet (rotate and search the front faceplate; beware of sanity drain), and find Albert Throgmorton's will on a seat.
  9. 9
    Collecting this evidence grants 140 XP and unlocks an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun (Necronomicon Edition/DLC) is powerful but consumes ammo quickly; save its initial clip.
  • Consider investing a Skill Point into 'Absolute Clarity' for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable containers can provide infinite ammo and crafting materials if revisited. Be cautious, as large amounts of loot may indicate nearby danger.
  • The Diving Helmet in the Titania Lifeboat can drain your sanity if held for too long.
  • Collecting all evidence on the 'Charon' ship grants an additional 140 XP.
  • Completing the optional 'Titania Lifeboat' investigation grants an additional 140 XP and an extra conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
