The Sinking City 2 has five main campaign chapters, in order: A New Day, The Wake-Up Call, A Sight For Sore Eyes, Time And Tide, and Cold Comfort. Holloway Manor is optional content, not a sixth main chapter. If you are looking for a particular objective, match its wording to the active case chapter and nearby room or item names; the same label can appear in more than one place.
All five main case chapters
This chapter list is a spoiler-light orientation to the campaign, not a guaranteed next-action checklist. The chapter names and broad routes below are drawn from a title-matched objective guide updated August 21, 2026, and an independent walkthrough cross-check dated August 19, 2026. Neither is an official exhaustive tracker export, and objective wording may vary by game version or player-facing state. NerdsChalk’s objective guide and the Game8 walkthrough archive provide the chapter-level references.
| Chapter | Broad campaign route | Useful lookup anchors |
|---|---|---|
| A New Day | Leave the apartment district, cross flooded streets, and reach the Miskatonic Library Annex. | Apartments, gate mechanism or floodgate, Radio Shop, Library Annex |
| The Wake-Up Call | Explore the Library Annex, then follow the open-city route to Devil’s Reef Hotel. | Church, printing house, crane, hotel, Lorelei |
| A Sight For Sore Eyes | Navigate Akeley Memorial Hospital, charge the Prism at three stations, and recover Faye’s body. | Hospital rooms, Prism stations, Find Faye’s Body |
| Time And Tide | Search the Fish Market for three Leyden Jars and open the Broken Hold. | Fish Market, Leyden Jars, wrecked ship, Antikythera |
| Cold Comfort | Complete the caves and expedition endgame, activate the portal, and finish the final route. | Faye objectives, portal, Slither Prime |
How to locate an objective on your screen
- Start with the active case chapter. The chapter currently shown in the game narrows the search to one of the five campaign groups.
- Use the exact tracker wording if you have it. If not, note the nearest named room, numbered room, item, poster, or note and use that more specific clue to find the matching entry.
- Disambiguate generic labels with context. Names such as Crypt, Gallery, Kitchen, Living Room, Locker Room, Staff Room, Storage, Guard Post, and Director’s Office recur. “Find Faye’s Body” is also identified in more than one chapter. Pair any repeated wording with the active case and a nearby unique name.
- Open only the detail level you want. Chapter names and broad route descriptions help orient you with fewer spoilers; full walkthroughs can reveal routes, puzzle answers, bosses, and story details.
The objective index is a lookup aid, not a fixed sequence of required next steps. If a label does not match your current screen exactly, compare the chapter, nearby rooms, and associated item names rather than assuming the index is a definitive checklist for every build or game state. The objective guide’s version/state caveat is relevant when comparing exact text.
Is Holloway Manor a main chapter?
No. Holloway Manor is treated as optional content or DLC, separate from the five core campaign chapters. Optional investigations also sit outside the main chapter objective index. A separate walkthrough likewise distinguishes Holloway Manor from the core campaign: Game8’s walkthrough archive.

Chapter 3 is A Sight For Sore Eyes, the Akeley Memorial Hospital section. Its broad objectives are to charge the Prism at three stations and recover Faye’s body. The chapter name and hospital route are enough to identify the section without opening later-game solutions.
