The Sinking City 2 location list is best used as a spoiler-aware Arkham reference covering major hubs, interior maps, safe rooms, piers, boats, traversal routes, and named rooms rather than a linear walkthrough.
Arkham mixes district-scale hubs with multi-floor interiors and water links, so broad place names and local floor labels solve different routing problems. The groups below keep those layers separate while staying light on story details.
Quick answer
This is a location, map, and named-area index, not a door-by-door collectible route or a fixed count of final gameplay content. Match each entry against the labels available on your in-game map during the current chapter.
At a glance comparison
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Arkham Machinery | Safe rooms and traversal routes |
| Church | Safe rooms, traversal routes, Chapel, and Graveyard |
| Devils Reef | Piers, boats, safe rooms, traversal routes, and the hotel |
| Devil’s Reef Hotel | Hotel rooms and the basement Generator Room |
| Ezra Manor | Safe rooms and traversal routes |
| Holloway Manor | Named manor location |
| Fish Market | Floor maps, safe rooms, piers, boats, and traversal routes |
| Hospital | Floor layouts, safe rooms, piers, boats, and traversal routes |
| Akeley Memorial Hospital | Treatment Room, Chapel, Basement, and floor maps |
| Necropolis | Safe rooms, piers, boats, and traversal routes |
| Ship | Safe rooms, piers, boats, and traversal routes |
| R.M.S. Phorcys | Named ship location and Expedition Map |
| Smugglers Hideout | Piers and boats |
| Street Dungeon | Safe rooms, piers, boats, and traversal routes |
| University Annex | Safe rooms, piers, boats, and connected interiors |
| Library Annex | Interior map and named rooms |
Major areas, individual buildings, and floor maps operate at different scales. Use the area name for broad routing, then switch to room and floor labels when checking whether an interior branch remains unexplored.
How to use this list
Collect each available local map first, then sweep the interior floor by floor. Check side rooms while their connecting stairs, doors, and shortcuts are fresh in your mind, especially before advancing the chapter objective.
Use safe rooms as reset points for another search pass. Track piers and boats separately from interior paths, since water links and traversal routes can connect parts of Arkham that do not appear to meet inside a building.
| Goal | Best focus |
|---|---|
| Story progress | Follow the active objective after checking nearby maps and side rooms |
| Collectible cleanup | Sweep one named floor at a time and inspect uncleared rooms |
| Safe-room access | Find the local safe room before starting a longer interior route |
| Route planning | Pair piers and boats with routes returning to streets or adjoining interiors |
Pair every new interior map with an immediate floor sweep. Missing rooms are much easier to spot while the surrounding layout is still fresh.

How locations connect with chapter progression
The Sinking City 2 takes place in flooded 1920s Arkham, where semi-open districts feed into multi-floor buildings, underground spaces, and routes across the water. Story transitions and rising floodwaters can change how these spaces connect.
Finish the optional rooms you care about before completing a major objective, and treat the map in your current story state as the authority on available shortcuts and return routes.
Named map pickups and floor layouts
| Map | Area |
|---|---|
| Residential Map, Floor 1–2 | Residential building |
| Library Annex | University Annex |
| Expedition Map | Ship and expedition sequence |
| Arkham Fish Market – 1st Floor | Fish Market |
| Arkham Fish Market – 2nd Floor | Fish Market |
| Arkham Fish Market – Basement | Fish Market |
| First Floor | Hospital interior |
| Second Floor | Hospital interior |
| Basement | Hospital interior |
Map pickups provide local floor layouts rather than replacing the wider Arkham map. Match their exact titles to the current interior, particularly where several levels share stairs, shortcuts, or similarly named rooms.
These visuals come from the in-game assets for The Sinking City 2. They are included as a practical identification reference for the names and entries in this guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can locations become inaccessible after story progression?
Yes. Earlier spaces can close after a chapter advances, and there is no chapter select for revisiting them. Clear the side rooms and pickups you want before triggering the chapter’s final transition.
Is this a collectible route or only a location index?
It is a location index. For a precise pickup order, pair it with a chapter-specific route covering documents, evidence, ERC Crates, Pens, weapon attachments, Tales of Arkham radios, and Ex Oblivione Documents.
Which location types should I check before leaving an area?
Check safe rooms, piers and boats, and any remaining traversal routes. Collectible icons turn blue after collection, so unresolved markers also reveal where another sweep is needed.
Should I trust demo-era puzzle codes in the current game?
No. The 4-7-2 Saint Mary’s Hospital combination and the 9-3-6 Fish Market combination came from the demo and should not be used as current puzzle guidance.
