The Sinking City 2 Holloway Manor Guide: Route, Safe 1890, Candles, Heirlooms, and Rewards

Install the Premium Edition content, then start Holloway Manor from its own entry on the main menu. It is a self-contained adventure, so you can play it before or after finishing the main story. If the entry is missing, confirm the DLC is installed and enabled on the same platform account as the base game. The quest is described by the developer as about two hours long, and the official Xbox Premium description calls it a haunted-house story quest with an optional ritual investigation.

If you get stuck at a locked door, the walkthrough’s advice is to return to the museum stands and the portrait route and check what has not been returned yet, rather than hunting for a key at the same locked door. Progress in this quest is gated by returns, not by keys.

On the living room route you meet a decorated four-wheel safe. Dial it left to right as 1-8-9-0, then use Unlock. The safe is an optional supply safe, not a story gate, and a launch-version playthrough shows shotgun ammunition inside. What the code 1890 refers to inside the game has not been verified in checked sources, so this guide does not assign it a meaning: do not treat it as a year, a name, or any other explanation.

The candle route is a date puzzle at the seance table, not a second four-digit lock. Take Catherine’s photograph from the family portrait stand in the museum. Collect two Occult Candles from the E.R.C. box in Archives B, and two more from the Boiler Room; the boiler key is found in the upstairs guest bathroom near the Parlor after returning the Mirror. In the old storage room, place the photograph in the center and arrange the candles from smallest to largest, then light them in the same size order on I, VII, V, and O, which read as the Roman numerals for

1750. That year is Catherine Holloway’s year of death, per the walkthrough.

The three heirlooms are the Cane, the Mirror, and the Pistol. Each return updates the objective count, one of three, two of three, three of three, and opens a new path. The Mirror is one of the three, not a separate third main route: the portrait passage is the main connection between the manor and the museum, and returning the Mirror is what lets you reach the upstairs guest bathroom for the boiler key, which in turn lets you collect the last two candles. If a candle is missing, check whether the Mirror has been returned yet.

Defeat the Shadow to end the curse and complete the quest. The official Xbox Premium description confirms the headline reward: completing the quest brings the Bucking Bronco revolver back into the main game. The full reward list from the walkthrough adds Kane’s Hefty Barrel and Kane’s Wrapped Grip as weapon parts, plus a revolver ammunition recipe. Update 1.1.0 also fixed several Shadow behaviors, including a Shadow spawn point in the manor where it would not attack. The Shadow fight’s weak points, phases, and positioning have not been verified in checked sources, so this guide does not invent them.

The official Xbox Premium description includes Holloway Manor in the Premium Edition. A fan site reports a $12.99 standalone Steam purchase, but official store pages checked did not confirm a standalone listing, so this guide does not present it as confirmed.

Yes. It starts from the main menu and is self-contained, so it can be played before or after finishing the main story.

Unverified. The code, its location, and its contents are verified; what the code refers to inside the game has not been verified in checked sources. Do not confuse it with 1750, which is Catherine Holloway’s year of death in the candle puzzle.

The Bucking Bronco revolver, confirmed by the official Xbox Premium description, plus Kane’s Hefty Barrel, Kane’s Wrapped Grip, and a revolver ammunition recipe from the walkthrough’s reward list.
