The confession

Need help with 'The Confession' mission in The Sinking City 2? Follow our guide to find all the Mystic Tomes and uncover the secrets within.

Hey there! So, you've stumbled upon 'The Confession' in The Sinking City 2, huh? Don't worry, I've got your back. This is part of the 'Mystic Tomes' side case, and it's a bit of a scavenger hunt. You'll pick it up early on, right after you wake up in your hotel room at Devil's Reef during the 'Lost at Sea' main case. Just check the desk across from your bed for a letter addressed to Charles Reed. That's your starting point! ### The Book Collector's Letter This letter is your first clue. It's from a collector of weird books, and it's all about finding these 'Mystic Tomes'. If you have the 'Worshippers of the Necronomicon (DLC)', you'll get this mission right around the start of 'Lost at Sea'. ### The Research Notes All the clues you need are actually in the hotel room across the hall from yours – the one that belonged to the book collector. Here's where you'll find the notes: * Bulletin Board: 'Tome in the ruins' and 'Book in the bank' * Chair by the boarded window: 'The Hidden Book' * Floor by the mattress: 'Waiting Book' * Table by the entryway: 'The Nightmares' and 'The Tome of the Mair' * Desk: 'Bewitched tome' * Wall near the desk: 'The Wheel Tome' ### Finding the Mystic Tomes Now for the fun part – actually finding these books! #### Bewitched Tome This one's in eastern Reed Heights, way up the northernmost part of Communion Road, just north of Museum Avenue. You'll see a rusted gray car. Near it, there's a grotesque creature guarding the tome. It looks like a dead woman, but it's part of a bigger abomination. Be careful, this thing hits hard! Pro-Tip: There are explosive barrels around. Lure the creature away, then shoot the barrels when it's close. 3-4 good explosions should take care of it. Once it's down, the 'Bewitched Tome' will appear floating by the car. #### The Hidden Book This tome was stolen from the Throgmorton museum and ended up with a surgeon who died in his house after the Flood. You'll need to sneak into his place to find it. The source text mentions you'll find it in a building, but doesn't give the exact location or a boss fight for this one. Keep an eye out for clues within the surgeon's house.
