Guide yourself through The Sinking City 2's 'The Shells' mission: interact with Anna, confront Maurice in the Fish Market basement, and deal with Fred.

Alright, let's get through "The Shells" in The Sinking City 2. This part can feel a bit like a maze, but we'll take it step-by-step.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First up, head to the southern part of the Fish Market to find and interact with Anna Liddel. You'll have a conversation with her. Pay attention to what she says, as it's important for progressing the casebook.
  2. 2
    After you're done chatting with Anna, your casebook entry for "George Cavendish's request" will be removed, and you'll gain a few new entries: "I reported George to Anna," "High-ranking member of EOD," and "Note to Maurice."
  3. 3
    Next, you need to find the entrance to the Fish Market's basement. Look for Walter, the real estate mogul, in the western area of the main building. The basement entrance is near him. Head down the stairs.
  4. 4
    Once you're in the basement, you'll need to hop over some crates. It's a good idea to equip a weapon now, just in case things get a little dicey down here.
  5. 5
    Continue through the hallway, past a door that was previously locked. You'll eventually reach Maurice. Have a chat with him, but be warned – things might not go as smoothly as you'd hope, and you might find yourself betrayed by the EOD. Get ready for some combat.
  6. 6
    After Maurice is dealt with, you'll receive the "Note to Maurice" casebook entry.
  7. 7
    Head back upstairs. You'll bump into Fred – yes, *that* Fred, the one from the mass murder route. It seems like all paths eventually lead back to him.
  8. 8
    Engage in a conversation with Fred. You'll have a few dialogue options, like "The Order?", "Do I have a choice?", and "You'll owe me. Big time."
  9. 9
    Once that conversation is wrapped up, you'll receive the "Report to Mr. Throgmorton" casebook entry.
  10. 10
    Your final task for this section is to leave the Fish Market.
Tips
  • Keep an eye on your casebook entries; they're crucial for tracking your progress and understanding the narrative.
  • Don't underestimate the basement area. Equipping a weapon beforehand can save you a lot of trouble if an unexpected fight breaks out.
  • The dialogue choices you make can sometimes have subtle impacts, so consider them carefully.
