The Sinking City 2 Collectibles: Locations and Walkthrough

Card No. 06·24607 · Updated · Standard formula, shown below

There is no reliable, complete list of collectible locations for The Sinking City 2 yet, so a verified 100% walkthrough cannot be given without inventing details. The game is an upcoming sequel, and its collectible types, level layouts, and final location-by-location requirements need to be checked against the released game.

Why a complete location list is not available

A full collectible guide needs more than a game announcement or a short preview. It requires the final game’s maps and levels, confirmation of every collectible category, and a method for checking that each item has been found. Until those details can be verified in the released version, claims such as “all 42 locations” or a numbered route through every area are not dependable.

This distinction matters because promotional material may show a setting or gameplay feature without establishing how it works in the finished game. A preview can suggest that exploration and investigation are important, but it cannot prove how many collectibles exist, where they appear, or whether the same item placement applies across platforms and updates.

What “100% collectibles” can mean

Players often use “100%” to mean different things. One person may mean every optional object that can be picked up; another may mean all evidence, case discoveries, achievements, and collectibles recorded by the game. These are not automatically the same checklist.

  • Physical collectibles: Optional objects placed in the environment, if the finished game includes them.
  • Investigation records: Clues or evidence linked to a case. Some may be necessary for progress rather than optional collectibles.
  • Completion tracking: A menu, journal, achievement list, or other in-game record, if provided. Its categories determine what the game counts toward completion.

Before following any guide, compare its definition of “collectible” with the game’s own records. A guide that lists every evidence item may not cover optional objects, and a pickup guide may not include every clue needed to complete an investigation.

How to prepare for a no-miss run

Once you can play the released game, use a repeatable process rather than relying on an unverified list. The exact controls and menu labels should be taken from the version you are playing, but these general habits help keep an exploration log accurate:

  1. Check the game’s tracking tools. Look for a journal, case record, map legend, chapter summary, or achievement list. Record the names and totals the game actually displays.
  2. Explore each area methodically. Sweep one section at a time, checking side rooms, dead ends, upper and lower levels, and routes that are easy to overlook. Do not assume a main-path visit covers every nearby space.
  3. Record item names and landmarks. Note the area, the closest distinctive landmark, and whether the item was collected. A specific landmark is more useful than a vague note such as “near the entrance.”
  4. Recheck after story progress. If an area changes or access opens later, revisit it when the game allows. Do not assume an early visit makes the location permanently complete.
  5. Compare the log with the in-game total. If the checklist and displayed count disagree, investigate the discrepancy before moving on. The guide may be incomplete, or a clue may be counted separately from an object.

Common problems with collectible guides

The most common mistake is trusting a page that presents a precise total without showing how that total was verified. A plausible-sounding item name or location is not evidence that it exists in the final game. Be especially cautious with guides published before release, content based only on trailers, and videos that do not show the game’s journal or completion counter.

Another source of confusion is treating story evidence as optional loot. In an investigation game, examining a scene may reveal information needed to reason through a case, while an optional pickup may simply be recorded in a collection menu. Guides sometimes group both under “collectibles,” even though missing one has a different consequence from missing the other.

  • Check that the guide identifies the game and chapter or area clearly.
  • Prefer routes that show the item and a recognizable landmark, not just a screenshot of a nearby room.
  • Check whether the guide was updated after patches or changes to the game.
  • Do not infer a collectible count from achievement descriptions alone; achievements may cover only selected milestones.

What to do if you are stuck at less than 100%

First, establish what the game says is incomplete. If the menu gives a category total, focus on that category rather than replaying every investigation indiscriminately. If it names a chapter or district, revisit its accessible spaces and compare your notes against a guide that demonstrates its locations in the same area.

If a guide says you collected everything but the game does not, check for distinctions between “found,” “examined,” and “added to the record.” In some games, seeing or interacting with an object is not the same as completing the associated entry. Do not assume those actions are interchangeable in The Sinking City 2 until the game itself or a verified guide confirms the rules.

Also make sure you are comparing like with like. A walkthrough for a different platform, release build, difficulty setting, or chapter order may not match your progress. If there is no reliable in-game counter, keep a manual checklist and mark items only when the game confirms the interaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get every collectible location in The Sinking City 2 now?
No verified, complete location list can be supplied before the finished game’s collectible system and locations are confirmed. Treat early lists as provisional unless they demonstrate the final game.

How many collectibles are in The Sinking City 2?
A dependable total should be confirmed from the released game or a guide that checks every category against its in-game tracking. Do not rely on an unsourced number.

Are clues and collectibles the same thing?
Not necessarily. Clues may be investigation evidence or required progress, while collectibles may be optional objects. Check how the game categorizes each item.

Can I miss collectibles by progressing the story?
That cannot be answered reliably without verified information about the final game’s areas and point-of-no-return rules. Before advancing past a clear chapter transition, check the game’s records and a current guide.

What is the best way to track collectibles?
Use the game’s own journal or completion records where available, and keep a chapter-by-chapter checklist with item names and landmarks. Confirm each entry in the game rather than relying on memory.

Bottom line

A genuine 100% walkthrough must be based on the released version, distinguish optional collectibles from investigation clues, and verify its locations against the game’s own records. Until that evidence is available, the accurate answer is that a complete, trustworthy location-by-location list cannot be confirmed; avoid guides that promise exact totals without showing their source.
