The Sinking City 2 Guide | How to Solve the Ezekiel Puzzle

To solve the Ezekiel Puzzle in The Sinking City 2, you need to examine the clues in the Fishing Shop and match the fish mentioned in the evidence with the symbols displayed around the shop.

The correct combination is Lighthouse → Ropes → Starfish → Octopus, which unlocks the cabinet and rewards you with Doyle's Hot Streak.

Where to Find the Ezekiel Puzzle

The Ezekiel Puzzle is located inside the Fishing Shop at the Arkham Fish Market during Chapter 4: Time and Tide.

After progressing through the Fish Market and obtaining the Bolt Cutters, return to the Fishing Shop. Use the Bolt Cutters to open the chained door marked Ezekiel.

Inside, you'll find a corpse holding a strange locked buoy. This is the puzzle you need to solve.

Before entering the combination, inspect the evidence connected to Ezekiel. The clues about Ezekiel and Ezekiel's Wife provide the information needed to determine the correct symbol order.

How to Find the Ezekiel Puzzle Clues

The Fishing Shop contains several fish displays, each with symbols attached. These displays are important because they connect the fish mentioned in the evidence to the symbols on the locked buoy.

Look around the shop and identify the symbols associated with the relevant fish. The clues point toward four fish and their corresponding symbols:

• Lantern Fish - Lighthouse
• Gulper Eel - Ropes
• Coelacanth - Starfish
• Anglerfish - Octopus

Once you've connected the evidence, you'll have everything needed to solve the Ezekiel Puzzle.

Ezekiel Puzzle Solution

Interact with the locked buoy to bring up its four-symbol combination.

Enter the symbols from left to right in this order:

• Lighthouse → Ropes → Starfish → Octopus
• Confirm the combination once all four symbols are correctly aligned.
• The correct Ezekiel Puzzle solution is Lighthouse → Ropes → Starfish → Octopus.

The cabinet will open, allowing you to collect the reward inside.

Ezekiel Puzzle Reward

Inside the unlocked cabinet, you'll find Doyle's Hot Streak, a submachine gun magazine upgrade. The upgrade increases the magazine capacity, making it particularly useful if you frequently rely on the SMG during combat.
