The Sinking City 2 Trophy Guide
Plan The Sinking City 2 trophies with missable investigations, collectibles, Red Press rewards, route checkpoints, and realistic completion-time estimates.
The safest trophy route is to investigate thoroughly before moving on. Optional cases can unlock supplies and upgrades, while side content such as Red Press and Other Gods is easy to miss if you only follow the critical path.
Trophy route priorities
Before leaving an area
- Search every accessible room for notes, collectibles, and clue-bearing objects.
- Record locked doors and watergates so you know what to revisit after a shortcut opens.
- Finish optional investigations when they are safe to complete, especially before a major route transition.
- Keep a separate note for one-time reward choices; do not assume a second run will restore every item.
On a first playthrough
Choose a thorough, spoiler-aware route rather than rushing the main objective. The game rewards investigations with supplies and upgrades, so a completion route can also make later combat more manageable. If you want a clean story run, mark missed areas instead of forcing every collectible during a dangerous encounter.
Red Press trophy
DualShockers records three printing plates:
| Plate | Recorded location |
|---|---|
| C | Church crypt |
| A | Printing House |
| B | Professor’s apartment |
The press accepts one print per run. The recorded reward choice is between silver Dream Essence and the gold-side Cutter’s Sturdy Stock shotgun attachment. Decide after reading the clue and checking which reward fits your build.
Other Gods and missable investigations
Treat named side quests such as Other Gods as route checkpoints, not optional flavor to skip automatically. When a guide marks an investigation as missable, complete its dialogue and reward step before opening the next major route.
Completion time
Community estimates range from roughly 15–25 hours to 20–30 hours, depending on collectibles, difficulty, and backtracking. These are estimates, not a developer promise.
