Most of The Sinking City 2 features maps that guide you towards the right way. The library map is simple to overlook since the game rushes you through flooded Arkham toward the Miskatonic Library Annex. You should get it once inside the building, as it’s a quick find and helps you get around the space. The library level gets busy right after your first encounter with the creature in the water, so it is easy to walk right past the map without a hint of it. Here’s exactly how to enter the building and find the library map in The Sinking City 2.
The Sinking City 2 Library Map Location
You don’t have to wait until you reach the library to get your hands on a local area map. You can grab it almost immediately during the gate-fuse puzzle section.
After leaving the apartment, climb down the stairs all the way to the ground. Drive the boat through the flooded streets until you reach a locked floodgate.
Turn the boat around and head toward the wall marked with white No Trespassing paint. Leave the boat, climb through the open window, and make your way to the first Safe Room.
From the room, walk downstairs and follow the clues leading toward the fuses needed for the gate. You will find them at the Allen Radio Store, where you will also have your first battle of the game.
Afterward, combine the relevant clues in the Investigation tab. The clues reveal 1908 is the code to open the Apartment 5 safe, which reflects the radio store’s establishment date and gives you extra supplies for the road ahead.
Return to the gate and install the three fuses:
- Straight fuse: connects the blue wires.
- T-shaped fuse: connects the yellow and green wires.
- Corner fuse: connects the red and orange wires.
Validate the fuse arrangement, then use the lever to raise the gate.
After the gate opens, return to your boat and keep moving through Arkham. You will encounter another close gate further up. Dock at the building nearby, run inside while the chase is on, and pull the lever on the far side to open the way forward. After getting back to the boat, continue along the waterway toward the library.
Once you reach the library, go inside after the opening cutscene. The map can be found in the first room on your left, just before the corridor on the right. Enter the office room, which looks like it contains little of interest. You will see the blue library map hanging on the wall. Collect it, then go back to the corridor to explore the Annex.
Be sure to search the dresser drawer behind you for spare ammo before you leave. That’s all there is to find the map—it’ll save you a lot of backtracking and confusion once the area opens up and gets more maze-like.
