Return of the Obra Dinn Wiki

Soldiers of the Sea, part 2 is the second part of chapter VI in the plot of Return of the Obra Dinn. It reveals the fate of topman Nicholas Botterill.

Two humanoids mounted on spider crabs board the ship. One of those crab riders stabs Botterill with its spear and he slowly bleeds to death. The six seamen on the ship, attempting to secure the sails, catch sight of the crab riders and flee.

The pocketwatch starts shaking after viewing this diorama, allowing access to Soldiers of the Sea, part 1.

Things of interest[]

Botterill death

Topman Nicholas Botterill speared by a crab rider.

  • The identity of Topman Nicholas Botterill can deduced as he was mentioned by Nathan Peters (by his nickname, Nick) as being already "done for" in the next scene, part 3. He is also depicted alongside other topmen in the Under Way sketch.
  • The game unblurs Alexander Booth by this point. He can be identified as a seaman since he is with all the remaining seamen alive by this point, all of whom have been identifiable in previous scenes.
  • Charles Miner's face becomes unblurred since as the Bosun's Mate, he was in charge of the efforts to secure the sails while the Bosun Alfred Klestil was not present.
  • The fate of the man in midair is shown in the first part.

Where[]

Areas[]

Only the middle portion of the main deck is accessible. The exit is where the main mast would be.
