The wounded sailor

Need help with The Wounded Sailor mission in The Sinking City 2? Follow our guide to navigate Grimhaven Bay, the Expedition Headquarters, and Oakmont Port to uncover the truth.

Alright, let's dive into "The Wounded Sailor" mission. It's a bit of a doozy, but we'll get through it together. You'll start by leaving Grimhaven Bay, and things get weird fast. Charles Reed has a vision, a really intense one, where he's basically swallowed by a beast. Don't worry, it's just a hallucination, but it sets the tone. You'll wake up back at the Devil's Reef Hotel with a note from Johannes van der Berg. He's looking out for you, but also letting you know you need to be more careful. While you're there, the landlord, Victor, will mention some strange noises you were making. This actually kicks off a side case for you: "Letters from Oakmont". Make sure to grab those letters when you can. Next up is the Expedition Headquarters. Head to the corner of Asher Rd and Hubert Ave in Coverside. Inside, you'll find a mess: the door kicked in, smashed furniture, and scattered papers. Keep an eye out for a note from Harriet Dough called "How to protect?" and a "Fishermen reports" note. There's also a box with strange green shells and a green glittering shell-like sample. Use your Mind's Eye on the wall near the stairs to find a hidden basement entrance. Be ready, because as soon as you enter the basement, an Innsmouther will attack you. Take them down, and then look for more clues: a "Partially burned cargo manifest" near a barrel and a cracked diving helmet. Piecing it all together, it seems Innsmouthers trashed the place and burned the papers in the basement. They were chanting something like "Ay fhtah, meyr phai rhagh, ia Dagon !" as they did it. Your next lead is to check recent advertisements for the freighter from Grimhaven Bay. Head to the Oakmont Chronicle and search the archives. Look for ads after the flood, in the advertisements section, for Grimhaven Bay. You'll find a "Ship freight advertisement" for a 30-ton ship named "Titania", available for hire for 70 rifle bullets per week. Contact Captain Jeremiah Sanders at Pier 3, Oakmont Port. Now, make your way to Oakmont Port, specifically Pier 3. As you arrive, a guy in a small cabin will warn you about sea creatures swarming the piers and beg for your help. Clear out the Stygians on the pier, and then investigate. You'll find a dead sailor shot point-blank, another with axes in his chest, and a body chewed up by wylebeasts. Inside the ship's cabin, you'll find a strange artifact, a map of Cape Cod, and a "Time-charter Contract" on the desk. The clues suggest the sailors were drinking and then started fighting amongst themselves after the captain told them to stop.
