Navigate Reed Heights South in The Sinking City 2 with our comprehensive guide. Discover key evidence, optional objectives, and essential tips for this challenging section of the game.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Charon Ship Investigation:
    • Key Evidence: Your belongings on the table (briefcase, camera, pistol). Examine the pistol by rotating it until an eyeball symbol appears on the handle and pressing X. You receive 6 .38 pistol rounds.
  2. 2
    Additional Evidence: Take a photo of the mounted fish with your camera. Examine the flyer on the desk.
  3. 3
    Lootables: A locker to the right of the desk can be repeatedly looted for ammunition and crafting materials. Lootable contents are randomized.
  4. 4
    Exiting the Ship and Speaking with Johannes van der Berg:
    • Climb onto the dock using Triangle.
  5. 5
    Engage in conversation 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.". Choosing these options will lock out other dialogue branches.
  6. 6
    Finding Robert Throgmorton:
    • Proceed north along the pier and turn right at the sign pointing to the exit.
  7. 7
    Climb the stairs to automatically start a conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  8. 8
    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.". Other branches are optional.
  9. 9
    Titania Lifeboat (Optional Investigation):
    • From the signpost, go left down a path and left towards the sea. The lifeboat is beyond police barricades.
  10. 10
    This investigation is optional but rewards 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
  11. 11
    Additional Evidence: Inspect the lifeboat name "TITANIA". Rotate the Diving Helmet and search its front faceplate. Find "Albert Throgmorton's will" on a seat. Climb inside the lifeboat (Triangle) to access some evidence. Looking at the diving helmet drains sanity over time.
Tips
  • The Submachine Gun (Necronomicon Edition/DLC) and its .45 ABP rounds are powerful but consume ammunition quickly; save them for critical moments.
  • Consider investing the free Skill Point (DLC) into the "Absolute Clarity" Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects can be reset by leaving and returning to the area, allowing for repeated collection of ammunition and crafting materials.
  • The Titania Lifeboat investigation is optional but provides valuable XP and lore.
  • Be mindful of the sanity drain when examining the diving helmet in the lifeboat.
Completing the optional Titania Lifeboat investigation grants an additional 140 XP and unlocks an extra conversation with Robert Throgmorton.
