Just so you know, if you need to skip to a certain part of the walkthrough,
just hit the Ctrl and F buttons at the same time and type in the name of
the case you want to see. Stop bugging me that you can't find something
in this walkthrough.
===========================================================================
~1.The Gyakuten Saiben Series~
===========================================================================
Phoenix Wright obviously didn't originate in America, nor did any other
video game you've probably played. In Japan, the Phoenix Wright series is
known as Gyakuten Saiben. This roughly translates into "Turnabout Court".
If you were curious why every case is named Turnabout ____ then that is
the answer.
The GS series contains four games so far, with a fifth on the way. The
first three in the series were actually GBA games, and the fourth one is
for the DS. If you are curious why there is little touch screen interaction
it is because Capcom decided to put the GBA Gyakuten Saiben series on the
DS in America. Not that it's a bad thing. The title was also changed
outside of Japan, from "Turnabout Court" to "Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney;
Trials and Tribulations".
Several minor things also changed during the translation from Japan to
States side. Gyakuten Saiben takes place in Tokyo while Phoenix Wright is
speculated to take place in Los Angeles. Although it is not confirmed,
several notions in the game make it apparent that Phoenix Wright takes
place in California. Also, some pictures within the game were switched from
Japanese inscriptions into English. However, some Japanese writing can
still be found if you know where to look.
Remember one last thing-Japanese law is different than America's law. Don't
be confused under the "guilty until proven innocent" ordeal, it's not a big
deal. Also, this game takes place in 2018. Hence, the possibility of these
laws actually being true.
As a side note, I STILL have no idea why the hell every picture is in black
and white. I guess everyone's color blind in the future or something. The
fourth game has colored pictures, though.
===========================================================================
~2.Controls~
===========================================================================
The controls for Phoenix Wright are pretty simple. You'll get used to them
quickly if you're new to the series. To veterans, they still haven't
changed.
A button-Scroll through text that characters are saying, confirm option,
look at details of evidence and profiles
B button-Back out of a selection, hold to skip through text quickly
X button-Push this when highlighting evidence to present it
Y button-Hold this and yell into the microphone when presenting evidence
(more fun than just pressing the X button)
Control Pad-Scroll through all selections
L button-Press statement (only in the courtroom), pan screen left/right
(only during Investigation when an area has more than one screen. To see
it you must scroll to see the rest by pressing L)
R button-Brings up the court record
Start-Brings up the menu to save your game
Note:Some of these controls are only availble inside court, and others only
outside of it. Most of them coincide, however.
===========================================================================
~3.Events In and Out of Court~
===========================================================================
Phoenix will have to do many things inside and outside of the courtroom in
order to prove his clients are innocent. Through these events he will
uncover the truth, pick out who really did the crime, gather evidence, and
meet many unusual characters.
----------------
Outside of Court
----------------
INVESTIGATION-This is what the entire process outside of court is. Phoenix
will stroll around different key areas in the city in his investigation.
Once you have learned all the necessary information and have retrieved all
the evidence possible, the investigation will end and court will begin
(after the chance to save your progress). There are several different
things you will be able to do on your investigations.
MOVE-Pretty self explainatory. Phoenix will have to go to many different
locations on his investigations. Select move to bring up a list of places
you can visit. Note that many areas branch off into different areas. For
example, pressing move will bring up Area A and Area B. However, you can
only visit Area C by moving in Area B. Don't overlook that detail.
TALK-In many areas there will be a person you are able to talk to. Once you
select this option, several boxes will appear with topics you can talk to
the person about. Once you talk to them about said topic it will have a
red checkmark appear next to it so you don't confuse yourself. Many people,
especially key witnesses and even the real killer, won't have every topic
possible to talk to them about listed right away. You will need to pry the
options out of them by either talking to them about previous topics, or
get some dirt from other people in the overworld.
Sometimes when you try talking about a subject Psyche Locks will appear.
The subject will then have a lock symbol next to it. If you want to hear
the subject, you must first use the Magatama to break the Psyche Locks.
PRESENT-If you are infront of a person, you can choose this to examine the
evidence you have collected so far. From there you can choose an item to
show the person you are talking to. If the person tells you something along
the lines of "What is that?", "I have no business with that item" and so on
then the item in question isn't going to get you anywhere with that person.
Some items, when presented, will make the person confess to secrets they
have been hiding. Other times they will hand you more evidence, or even
allow you to ask them about more topics. Don't freak out--there's no
penalty for wasting someone's time. Present things often if you are stuck,
as it may unlock something new for you to continue.
EXAMINE-In every area there is a scene. Obviously. Many of the areas you
visit will have something odd there. Sometimes its an item that just
doesn't fit in with the rest of the scenery, sometimes it isn't as obvious
and you will need to look everything over. Once again, if you are ever out
of options, return to areas you have visited and examine every detail you
are capable of looking at. You may just find a vital piece of evidence or
clue that can help you along your way.
PSYCHE LOCKS-Partway through case 2 you will recieve the Magatama, a
mystical item that will alert you when people are trying to hide secrets
from you. You can easily tell this when you ask a witness about a subject,
then the background grows black and a ton of chains and locks appear over
the witness. This indicates a Psyche Lock sequence must take place before
you learn anything else about the subject.
To start the Magatama Secret sequence, present the Magatama when you see
the person have Psyche Locks over them. The more Psyche Locks that appear
on the subject, the harder it will be to make them reveal their secret.
During the Magatama Secret sequence, the person will ask you questions
such as "What connects me to this scene", "Who should you really be
defending", like that. You'll need to present evidence to answer their
questions. Do so correctly and you will move on to the next questions,
possibly destroying one or more Psyche Locks along the way. When you've
unlocked them all, half of your health bar will be restored and you can
ask about the hidden secret topic now. Remember, if you present wrong
evidence you will lose 1/10th of your health bar. Also, sometimes you will
need to collect more evidence before you can complete a Magatama sequence.
Don't always think you MUST beat it on the first go, because rarely that
is ever true.
---------------
Inside of Court
---------------
TESTIMONY-Whenever a witness is called to the stand by the prosecution, the
witness will recount the events specific to the case in a testimony. Your
objective is to find parts of the testimony that contradict evidence you
have or statements already mentioned in the past. You won't be able to
object here, so just pay attention until the testimony is finished.
CROSS EXAMINATION-Phoenix, as a defense attorney, will need to cross
examine the witnesses on their testimonies after they finish saying them.
Your main objective here is, of course, to find the one mistake that the
witness places in their testimony and expose their lies. You can scroll
through any line of text said in the testimony, forwards or backwards.
Once you find the spot where there is a clear contradiction you will need
to present evidence supporting your theory.
However, if you present the wrong evidence or present it at the wrong
statement in the testimony, the Judge will become angered at your attempt
to frame the witness and penalize you. On the top right corner of the DS
screen you should notice that you have a health bar. More on that in a
lower paragraph.
PRESSING-On the top-left side of the touch screen you will see a "Press"
button. During a testimony you can press any and all statements that the
witness says. After Phoenix yells "Hold it!" he will question the witness
further on what they just said. Sometimes you will find contradictions
right away from pressing statements. This will cause the witness to revise
that statement of the testimony. Occasionally you will have to make choices
when pressing. The available options appear on the bottom screen. Usually
it is "Press further" and "Back off".
Pressing further can cause the witness to reveal something that will
seriously benefit your case, or completely shatter your hopes and open
mind the Judge into coming closer to calling the defendent Guilty.
Pressing statements will never deal you penalties, however in a few rare
circumstances they actually will. In these cases you will be warned
beforehand that you will get penalized. Don't play with fire if you can't
afford to be burned.
PRESENTING-The most important part of your cross examination is presenting
the right evidence to expose the lies thrown in the witness' testimonies.
Push R or tap the Court Record button to bring up the Court Record. Here is
where all the evidence and important info for the case is kept. Push the
Profiles button to see a bio on everybody currently involved in the case.
When you select a piece of evidence you wish to present, highlight it and
press the Present button of push the X button. Phoenix will yell his famous
"OBJECTION!" line, or in some cases "TAKE THAT!". During testimonies, you
will know you presented the right evidence if the music stops playing. If
it continues, expect to be penalized.
Presenting wrong evidence is another story, though. During cross
examinations, if you present wrong evidence, you will always lose 1/5th of
your health bar. Sometimes after you object, or when you select certain
options, the Judge or the Prosecutor will ask you to back up your bold
claims with evidence. These sections will usually cost more of your health
bar if incorrect, sometimes up to 1/2 of it, and in a few rare sections,
the entire health bar itself. Instant game over if you fail. Try to avoid
many mistakes!
HEALTH BAR-Trials and Tribulations keeps the health bar that made its
appearence in the previous game. The health bar is split into ten segments.
If you lose all of your health, it's an instant game over when you are in
court. You can lose health outside of court as well through Magatama
sequences. If you lose all of your health outside of court, nothing major
happens, but you will be forced to repeat the Magatama sequence you failed.
You can lose health a variety of ways in court. If you present wrong
evidence, you lose 2/10ths health.
Whenever you are asked to backup a statement, presenting wrong evidence
will take off health as well, usually between 1-3 pieces of it. Worst of
all, you can't refill the bar normally. You will restore five segments
when you complete a Magatama sequence. Basically, don't screw yourself
in court. You're not getting health back at any time you are in court.
===========================================================================
~4.Characters~
===========================================================================
~NOTE! This section contains some spoilers for the cases!~
Trials and Tribulations has a wide variety of wierd and wacky characters,
along with a few (insane) killers. Several of these characters you should
already know from playing the previous Phoenix Wrights, and the rest you
will meet along the way in your cases. Most of them have an important
background that will usually get called to attention in court, so keep
them in mind!
Phoenix Wright-The main character and Ace Attorney himself, Phoenix has
earned his status by clearing his clients from seemingly impossible cases,
as well as defeating Edgeworth, Manfred von Karma, and his daughter
Franziska, in previous court battles. He has won every case, except for
the one case in Justice For All when he was defending Matt Engarde. Known
best for his spiky hair, most of Phoenix's friends refer to him as "Nick",
a play on the last few letters of his name.
Maya Fey-Maya is Mia's little sister. She started to accompany Phoenix on
his cases soon after Mia died in the first game. She continues to help out
Phoenix by acting as his assistant manager of Wright & Co. Law Offices.
Maya is also a spirit medium, capable of channeling the spirits of the dead
into her own body. She does this often to channel Mia for her to talk to
Phoenix.
Pearl Fey-The cousin of Maya. She is a spirit medium as well, occasionally
channeling Mia for Phoenix. She's very young, and hasn't had much public
contact, so she often gets the wrong impression of many things, as well as
her opinions being easily swayed.
Mia Fey-Mia was Phoenix's mentor until she was brutally killed in the first
game. Since then she has made appearences in Maya's body when the case is
near impossible for Phoenix. She will appear again quite often in Trials
and Tribulations, this time in Pearl's body more often then Maya's. She
tends to be helpful on some testimonies, though, so it's not all bad.
Miles Edgeworth-A veteran prosecutor. Him, Phoenix, and Larry were friends
back in the fourth grade, but an indident forced Edgeworth to move away.
Determined to find him, Phoenix became a defense attorney to hopefully face
off against him in court. Edgeworth hasn't been getting much action as of
late, but you will see him in his first case in 3-4.
Franziska von Karma-This prosecutor had a perfect win record until she went
against Phoenix in the previous game. She still has a taste for revenge,
against both Phoenix and Edgeworth. Enjoys whipping people.
Detective Dick Gumshoe-Making another return from the past games, Detective
Gumshoe is back again. His main purpose on the police first is, naturally,
to investigate the case. Gumshoe isn't the smartest brick on the block,
though, often making small errors in his work and leaving small details out
of important descriptions. Despite this, he's an awesome character, and
usually is the first one to speak in court, by giving the brief overview
of the case. You'll grow to love Gumshoe if you haven't already played the
previous games.
Godot-A mysterious prosecutor that seems to have appeared out of nowhere.
Nothing is known about him or his background, except that he has a severe
grudge against Phoenix and drinks coffee. Lots of coffee. He loves coffee
more than just about anything.
The Judge-The head of the courtroom. Despite his opinions being easily
swayed by the prosecution and cute witnesses, he always seems to pick the
right verdict in the end.
Marvin Grossberg-A defense attorney and Mia's mentor five years ago. Head
of Grossberg Law Offices. He advises Mia on her second case.
Winston Payne-Veteran prosecutor, known as the "Rookie Crusher" for all of
the new defense attorneys that he has defeated.
Dahlia Hawthorne-Phoenix's girlfriend several years ago. Is quite charming,
even when testifying.
Doug Swallow-Fourth year Pharmacology student at Ivy University before
being killed by electrocution.
Luke Atmey-An Ace Detective, and has been trailing Mask DeMasque's identity
for some time.
Mask DeMasque-A mysterious robber who has yet to be caught. Sends a calling
card, detailing the item has plans on stealing.
Ron DeLite-A former security guard at KB Security. Seems to easily get
frightened.
Desiree DeLite-Ron DeLite's wife. Loves motorcycles and spending money that
Ron makes above anything else.
Larry Butz-Phoenix's grade school friend, and his very first client.
Becomes a security guard in case 2, and a painter in case 5.
Kane Bullard-The CEO of KB Security, a business that manages security for
many other companies that desire it.
Maggey Byrde-Currently a waitress at Tres Bien. She was your client in
case 2-1.
Jean Armstrong-The man who runs the French restaurant Tres Bien. Keeps
referring to himself as a woman.
Victor Kudo-A grumpy old man who whacks birds with his seeds. Has a thing
for waitress outfits.
Glen Elg-An incredible programmer. He was killed by coffee poisoning.
Lisa Basil-Head of Blue Screens, Inc., the company Glen worked for.
Furio Tigre-The manager of Tender Lender, a company that loans money to
others with an absurd interest rate.
Viola Cadaverini-The daughter of a mafia boss, also an employee of Tender
Lender. Furio Tigre saved her life.
Bruto Cadaverini-A mafia boss who cares deeply for his daughter, Viola.
Diego Armando-A coffee loving defense attorney who works for Grossberg.
Seems to like Mia and has an uncanny resemblence to Godot.
Valerie Hawthorne-A detective who witnessed Terry Fawles kidnap her sister,
and then kill her.
Terry Fawles-A prisoner escapee who was sentenced to death five years ago.
Convicted of killing Valerie Hawthorne.
Melissa Foster-A sweet young girl who has a strikingly similar appearance
to Dahlia.
Bikini-The head nun at Hazakura Temple who looks over all the training of
acolytes.
Iris-A nun at Hazakura Temple. She looks exactly like Dahlia.
Elise Deauxnim-A children's book author who is visiting Hazakura Temple.
Morgan Fey-A woman who has been put into solitary confinement for nearly
killing Maya.
===========================================================================
~5.Episode 1-Turnabout Memories~
===========================================================================
Turn on the game and begin the first episode of the game. In the intro
sequence, a man will be found lying on the ground, and another is standing,
questioning how he got here. As the screen shifts, the supposed killer is,
uh, Phoenix Wright?
You'll be told that this event happened five years ago, and that this is
Mia Fey's second trial.
===========================================================================
~5A.Part 1-1 Trial~
===========================================================================
----------------------------------------------
Date-April 11, 9:40 AM
Location-District Court; Defendent Lobby No. 3
----------------------------------------------
Marvin Grossberg will appear as Mia mentally preps herself. Mia still seems
nervous about the trial ongoing today. Mia says she hasn't exactly been
studying the facts of the case. Poor rookie. Your client, Phoenix Wright,
will appear. He has a cold, so try to ignore the face mask he's wearing to
prevent others from getting sick.
Mia will comment about herself, mentioning that she was in court another
time one year ago. She says that she lost her first case, and is
determined more than ever to win this one.
If you're new to the Phoenix Wright series, note the Court Record button.
Press it, or tap the R button, to open up all of the evidence that you have
collected. All that's here now is your Attorney's Badge and the Autopsy
Report. Remember that the cause of death of Doug Swallows was that he was
electricuted. Never let any piece of evidence go unnoticed! After Mia talks
with Phoenix, you'll head to court.
----------------------------------------
Date-April 11, 10:00 AM
Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 2
----------------------------------------
As the trial begins, you'll note you are up against the famed first-case
prosecutor Payne. This time, sporting a green suit and hair. Or a toupee.
After Mia hopelessly tries to explain why she's handling this case, and
Payne complains Mia is too inexperienced for this case.
The incident of the crime occurred on the campus of Ivy University. The
murder victim was Doug Swallow, a fourth year student in Pharmacology.
Next, there is a picture of the crime scene. It shows Swallow lying dead
on the ground, several electric cable wires hanging above his head. The
picture was taken when students discovered his body shortly after the
murder. Phoenix Wright was seen fleeing the crime thereafter. CRIME PHOTO 1
will be added to the Court Record.
The Judge can't tell the cause of death from the photo. Payne will ask you
to tell the court the cause of death. Choose "Electrocution" after
Grossberg explains how to open up the Court Record. Another problem of this
case is motive. Doug Swallow and and Phoenix didn't quite get along well.
The Judge will ask you for evidence supporting the hatred between Phoenix
and Doug.
Remember, if you didn't play Justice For All or you forgot, that people's
profiles can be presented. Present Dahlia Hawthorne's profile. Dahlia is
Phoenix's girlfriend, yet was Doug's girlfriend several months back. Payne
will call Phoenix Wright as his first witness. You will now watch Phoenix
testify. Oh, and Grossberg talks about hemorrhoids constantly. Most people
also find that wierd.
---------------------------------------------
~Phoenix Wright's Testimony-The Victim and I~
---------------------------------------------
-Um, I...I admit I was there.
-But I'm not a killer! All I did was find his body!
-I hardly knew they guy to begin with...
-I never even talked to that stuck-up British wannabe!
Grossberg explains to you that you must find contradictions in the
testimony and expose their lies. Remember, you can also Press statements
for more information. To get on with the testimony, start by pressing
Phoenix's last statement. His third statement contradicts his fourth
statement right away. Phoenix stammers, then adds a fifth statement:
-He was always walking around with a huge Union Jack on the back of his
shirt.
Press the new statement to learn that Phoenix saw the Union Jack at the
crime scene, explaining how he knows Doug likes British stuff. Grossberg
will agree with Mia in thinking that there is a contradiction here. Present
Crime Photo 1 at this statement. If you looked at the picture in detail,
there is no such picture on Doug's back.
Phoenix says that the Union Jack was on his t-shirt, which his lether
jacket was covering. Well, this means that Doug has met Phoenix somewhere
before the crime took place. Payne now comments what kind of medicine
Phoenix has been taking. He then goes on to ask if it was Coldkiller X,
and Phoenix agrees that he has been using it.
Phoenix also notes that he lost his medicine somewhere. Looking back at the
crime photo, the medicine was in the victim's hand. Phoenix's fingerprints
were found all over this bottle as well. Doug probably grabbed the bottle
to indicate that it was Phoenix who killed him. After these comments, CRIME
PHOTO 2 and COLDKILLER X will be added to the Court Record.
Doug's watch also stopped operating when a surge of electricity ran
through it. Now Phoenix will testify again about what really happened that
day.
-------------------------------------------------
~Phoenix Wright's Testimony-What Really Happened~
-------------------------------------------------
-The truth is...I went because he called me.
-He was in the Pharmacology Dept., so we agreed to meet at 2:45 behind that
building...
-We talked for a bit, and then at around 3:00, we split up.
-Then later, when I went back, I found him lying there.
-I'd been talking Coldkiller X for the last 2 or 3 days...
-But I lost my bottle of it around lunchtime on the day of the accident.
The main information you need right now is in the second statement. Press
it to find out that Doug arranged the time they would meet. Doug was
studying how to make medicine at that point. He was one of the brightest in
his department. It also turns out that Doug has some sort of laboratory,
which made Phoenix pretty suspicous of Doug's workings. When Mia asks
herself what to do, choose to ask "About Pharmacology Dept.". Phoenix
admits he doesn't know much, but Mia says that he said a lot of these
machines took a lot of electricity to run.
This means that electrical cables were hanging all around the building, and
wasn't Doug's cause of death electricution? From a cable wire? Press the
fifth statement to learn that most people were aware Phoenix was taking
Coldkiller X. Now, press the final statement. Phoenix was eating with
Dahlia that day at lunch. However, before you can squeeze more information
out of Phoenix, the Judge calls an end to this boring testimony.
The Judge says that between him losing the medicine, meeting with Doug,
and then stumbling onto the crime scene, there is no way he can be trusted.
There is one last problem the Judge has--how the murder was carried out.
You will be asked if you can present how this murder was started. Choose
"Establish murder method". The Judge will now demand some evidence that
proves Doug Swallow was electrocuted.
Like I said earlier, there were disconnected cable lines above Doug's head
when he was lying on the ground. Present Crime Photo 1. The Judge still
doesn't understand where you are going with this series of statements. Now
you will need to point to the spark on the cable line above Doug. When you
present that, Payne and the Judge agree that what you said is most
plausable, but...
The only person who was able to use the cables as a murder weapon would be
Phoenix. Now Payne has some proof that will pin the murder on Phoenix.
His fingerprints were on the bottle of Coldkiller X, no? Doug was wearing
a lether jacket in the crime photo, and Phoenix's hand was firmly found on
the chest area of the jacket. The only reason that would be there is if
Phoenix was intending to murder Doug.
After some more hemorrhoid talk, the Judge is just about ready to hand down
his verdict. Mia interrupts, demanding the truth from Phoenix. Phoenix
admits that he did shove him, when Doug was bad mouthing Dahlia's
relationship with Phoenix. Phoenix will testify one more time in an
attempt to prove his innocence.
-----------------------------------------------------
~Phoenix Wright's Testimony-When I Pushed The Victim~
-----------------------------------------------------
-That guy...He was talking bad about Dollie...
-I lost my temper and gave him a shove!
-At that moment, I heard some kind of loud noise...
-A little while after I left, I started to get worried.
-So I went back. But h-he was just lying there, d-dead!
The Judge warns you not to screw this up, or Phoenix is guilty. Phoenix
also says that when he shoved Doug that there were no electrical cables
around. The only statement that will give you anything new is the third, so
press it. Payne thinks that the loud noise Phoenix heard was Doug being
electrocuted. Choose to "Ask for more details". Phoenix states that Doug
was holding an umbrella, dropping it when shoved. Doug must have fallen
on top of the umbrella, snapping it. The Judge will ask if any of this is
relevent to the case. Choose "Of course it's important!". The following
statement is added to the testimony:
-After I shoved him, he...He fell down on top of his cheap umbrella.
Press this new statement. Phoenix says he planned on borrowing the umbrella
if he didn't fall on top of it. However, there's something wrong with this
statement. Look at Crime Photo 1 and you'll see the umbrella actually
landed further from his head, not under his body. Present Crime Photo 1 at
this statement.
This poses a problem. How did the umbrella actually land further away from
Doug when Phoenix was sure it landed under him? Mia comes up with the
possibility that Doug moved the umbrella from where he fell. This means
that he was alive shortly after being pushed by Phoenix. The Judge orders
that the umbrella be used as evidence. UMBRELLA will be added to the Court
Record.
Payne objects, saying the wind could have pushed it, but that's an
impossibility if the umbrella was under Doug to begin with. Well, some
doubt has been left in the air against Phoenix. PHOENIX'S TESTIMONY will
be added to the Court Record.
Well, turns out Payne actually has a second witness. It's none other than
Dahlia Hawthorne. Turns out she was at the scene of the crime when the
murder took place. The Judge will call a recess for the new witness to be
brought in.

Phoenix meets up with you during the break. He thinks that Dahlia will be
able to get Phoenix out of this hole, but Mia and Grossberg think
otherwise. As it turns out, Phoenix met Dahlia in this courthouse about
eight months ago. Phoenix is also studying to be a lawyer, but you probably
knew that. They ran into each other in the reading room, and have been
together since.
Dahlia also gave Phoenix a gift as a sign of their love. It's a small
necklace with a heart at the bottom, and around the top of the heart is a
small vial. DAHLIA'S PRESENT will be added to the Court Record. Phoenix
then goes on to say that whenever they go on dates, Dahlia constantly
pesters Phoenix to give the necklace back to her.
Mia then asks if it was on August 27th that the two of them met. Mia shows
a newspaper clipping of an event occurring on the same date. Turns out a
murder occurred in this courthouse on the same day. Mia must have taken
this case due to the relationship between the events eight months ago and
the ones going on right now. NEWSPAPER CLIPPING will be added to the Court
Record.
If you check the article yourself, it says that a 19-year old college
student was sitting with the victim. Huh, wonder who that might be?
Grossberg heads off to the reading room to find anything else out, and it
appears that something else might be spreading. Just who is the girl in
the article, and what relevence does it have to the case?
You don't have time to ponder such questions as court continues. Save the
game when prompted.

~5B.Part 1-2 Trial~
===========================================================================
----------------------------------------
Date-April 11, 12:13 PM
Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 2
----------------------------------------
Well, no Grossberg this time, so less talk of hemorrhoids. Dahlia
Hawthorne will be called to the stand. She's an odd lady, as it appears.
She seems sincere, but the Judge still has some doubts about her before
judgement is passed. Ignoring the Judge and Payne acting up against
Dahlia, and you'll probably get suspicious at her kindness act.
Then she says there's no way Phoenix could have done it. Well, enough of
that. Time for testimony.
-----------------------------------------------
~Dahlia Hawthorne's Testimony-What I Witnessed~
-----------------------------------------------
-I had been planning to go back to Feenie's place after class was over.
-Feenie and Dougie...They were talking behind the building.
-Then suddenly...Dougie got all wobbly and just collapsed.
-That's when Feenie noticed that I was there.
-I went to go and find some other students and they called the authorities.
Before the cross examination, it turns out that Dahlia and Mia have met
somewhere before. Hmm. Anyway, the contradiction should be fairly obvious,
much like how Mia pointed out to herself. Press the third statement.
Something isn't right about it. Dahlia says that Doug just fell on his own,
nobody else touching him. Now you will need to choose "Show contradiction".
After a little glaring at Payne, Mia will say that Phoenix's palm print was
found on Doug's jacket. It has already been proven that Phoenix hit Doug
at some point. Now Dahlia will add the following two statements to her
testimony:
-Um, actually, I didn't see the moment he pushed Dougie.
-It didn't look like they were fighting, and I didn't hear any noise
either.
At the second of the new statements, press. Dahlia says she didn't see or
hear anything out of the ordinary. However, this is all incorrect. Present
Phoenix's Testimony at this statement. Phoenix states earlier that there
was a loud noise after shoving Doug onto the ground. So, why didn't Dahlia
hear the noise?
There isn't any logical reason as to why it wasn't heard. Dahlia, though,
says she was wearing headphones and listening to music during the events.
She's afraid of thunder, so she started listening to music to block it all
out. Mia will now think that there could be something that she just said
that changes this entire case. Choose "There was lightning.".
Lightning, as you know, is pure electricity. Doug died from an electric
shock. Thusly, it's entirely possible that Doug was hit by lightning,
making his death entirely accidental. If that were true, then he wouldn't
have been necessarily murdered. Sadly, Payne has been doing his research
as well. Turns out there weren't any lightning strikes at all on that day.
What's worse, the fallen electrical cable is most certainly linked to this
case. He now presents some evidence in the form of an affidavit. This
affidavit is from the Pharmacology students who were conducting their
experiments in their labs on the day of the murder. They had their own
testimony of events. Turns out, all of the equipment in the lab lost power
at about 3:00 PM that day.
Remember that everything in the lab runs on high-voltage. The broken high-
voltage cable line is to blame for these events. The blackout and the time
of death all coincide at the same time--3:00. Thusly, there is no other way
that Doug could have been killed. It must have been from the electric
shock. The cables are also revealed now to be very brittle and were keen to
being broken at almost any time from a slight touch. STUDENTS' TESTIMONY
will be added to the Court Record.
The Judge will now ask for your thoughts about the severed cable. You will
need to present something that caused the cable to break. Present, even
though it seems to hurt you, Phoenix's profile. Recall, during Phoenix's
testimony, that he heard a sharp noise after pushing Doug. Facing this,
Phoenix is the one who caused the lab to lose power, possibly killing
Doug in the process.
Mia now says that the umbrella landed near the electrical pole. The sharp
noise was actually Doug crashing into the pole, causing it to break.
However, Doug still wasn't electrocuted after that. If he crashed into the
pole in the back, there's no way that he was electrocuted from the cable
far from the pole. Thusly, someone other than Phoenix must have
electrocuted Doug.
Dahlia now realizes that she remembers things slightly differently than
what we just tried to prove. Dahlia will now testify further on what is
going on here.
-------------------------------------------------------
~Dahlia Hawthorne's Testimony-What I Witnessed, Part 2~
-------------------------------------------------------
-The truth is...Feenie pushed him twice.
-The first time was into the electrical pole. That's when the cable broke.
-Then Dougie tried his best to run away from him...
-But Feenie caught up and crashed into him from behind.
-The cable snapping, and Dougie being electrocuted--it all occured in less
than a minute.
Press the final statement. Dahlia never actually saw the moment where Doug
was electrocuted. In any case, this statement still has a contradiction in
it. At this statement, present Crime Photo 2. If you ever turned your DS
upsidedown to look at the time on the watch when it stopped working, you
may have noticed that it was at about 3:05 PM.
Remember, it stopped when he was electrocuted. Thusly, there is a huge ten
minute difference between when Doug was electrocuted and when the power
went out in the science labs. Perhaps it was during this interval that the
real murderer killed Doug. Payne and the Judge demand to know who could be
the only other possible suspect for this murder.
Present Dahlia Hawthorne's profile. There was a ten minute gap between the
power outage and the murder, and Dahlia was there the entire time. She
clearly had something to do with these events. After Phoenix pushed Doug
onto the ground and left, it was Dahlia who pushed Doug to his own death.
Dahlia continues to deny everything, and then Phoenix comes in. He says
there is no way Dahlia could possibly kill someone. Ah well. Can't stop us
now. Grossberg will return, after finding the police report on the murder
incident in this courthouse. POLICE REPORT will be added to the Court
Record.
I advise you read these papers for the upcoming testimonies. A man by the
name of Diego Armando was poisoned to death due to some form of poison
entering his coffee. The suspect, Dahlia Hawthorne, could not be convicted
due to lack of evidence on her, or any form of poison near her. This seems
quite suspicious, right? Grossberg also hints that Diego was Mia's
boyfriend.
At any rate, Dahlia still denies that she murdered Doug and pinned the
whole thing on Phoenix. Still, there would need to be some motive for her
to kill Doug. It seems odd that on the day of the murder in the courthouse,
Phoenix and Dahlia just happen to meet up. Mia demands testimony about that
day her and Phoenix met each other.
--------------------------------------------------
~Dahlia Hawthorne's Testimony-How I Met My Feenie~
--------------------------------------------------
-I first met my darling Feenie eight months ago.
-It's like we were destined to meet in this very courthouse's basement
reading room.
-The moment our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat!
-We've been going out ever since that fateful day.
The only way to win this case now is to expose her lies. Start off by
pressing the second statement. Phoenix was also planning on becoming a
lawyer, so it isn't at all odd that he would be in the reading room of a
courthouse. However, what was Dahlia doing there? Payne asks if this has
anything to do with the current case. Choose "Keep pressing". Dahlie will
now add a new line of testimony:
-I had come to this courthouse to do some research for a paper I was
writing.
Press this new statement. Towards the end, Grossberg will remind you of the
Police Report he handed you. Hopefully you ended up checking it. If you
did, the answer should now be fairly obvious. Present the Police Report at
this new statement. She didn't come here to do some research. Instead, she
was here to meet up with Diego Armando. The suspect in that case was,
naturally, Dahlia.
What does this all mean? It means the the crime right now and the crime
that occurred eight months ago have a connection--that being, Dahlia is a
prime suspect. She will now give one last testimony about the events that
occurred eight months ago.
--------------------------------------------
~Dahlia Hawthorne's Testimony-The Poisoning~
--------------------------------------------
-I met the lawyer who was poisoned to discuss something in the cafeteria
that day.
-I left my seat for a moment, and that's when it happened!
-From what I heard, it was a liquid poison that is lethal at just 2
teaspoons.
-Not only that, I heard it was a very special kind of poison.
-So you see, I'm innocent! I wouldn't even know where to get a poison like
that!
The contradiction here is tough to find out. Press the final statement.
Dahlia couldn't be arrested because nobody could prove how she could even
get poison like that. Well, you might now some kind of idea. At the final
statement, present Doug's profile. After all, Doug worked in a pharmacology
lab, so he had access to all sorts of chemicals, including ones that could
kill other people. Thusly, it is possible Dahlia could have obtained some
poison one day.
So, if she had poison, all she needed to do was slip it into Diego's
coffee, and he was as good as dead. Since she was the only one with him,
only Dahlia could have done the poisoning. In order to carry 2 teaspoons of
poison, some container would be needed. You will need to show something
that she had prooving she had a container to use and one that was thrown
away none less. Present Dahlia's Present.
The small necklace has a bottle on it, after all, and it did belong to
Dahlia. She had to get rid of it somehow, so she gave it to Phoenix Wright,
a person who had no connection to that case. The poison was given to
Phoenix, unknowingly to him, as a present. Dahlia gave Phoenix the
necklace for the sole purpose of hiding the one piece of evidence that
would give her away. There isn't any poison in the bottle at the moment,
but there could be a small amount left over.
Phoenix appears again, objecting to this nonsense. He still won't let her
go since he's in love with Dahlia. Now you must answer why Dahlia has been
dating Phoenix for so long. Answer "because of the necklace.". She has been
dating him only because she wants the necklace back so badly. Remember,
Phoenix said himself that Dahlia keeps asking for it back.
The necklace proves her crime, explaining why she needed it back. What's
worse, Phoenix showed it off everywhere she went. Well, Phoenix goes insane
now, stealing the necklace and then running away from the courtroom. He
doesn't get far before the bailiff brings him back in. Phoenix must have
grabbed the necklace when he slammed into Mia.
When Phoenix returns to the witness stand, he says that he ate the
necklace. What? Damn that fool! He had to chew it up, but he was able to
swallow the whole thing. Now Phoenix starts to feel bad, probably because
the bottle still had some poison left in it.
Oh, false alarm. Turns out Phoenix is still alive. Payne agrues that there
is still no way that there could have been poison in that bottle. Sadly,
since you have no evidence to prove that there was poison in the bottle,
then there is no way that the trial can continue like this. Phoenix goes
on to stop the trial briefly, saying that when he met Doug, he told Phoenix
that she had stolen poison from their lab. The exact same thing happened
eight months ago. Dahlia also came to the lab that time. That is when
Phoenix shoved Doug, out of anger at his accusations of Dahlia.
Phoenix came back to Doug after he pushed him, finding Dahlia there when
he did. Phoenix admits that Dahlia told him never to tell anybody about
that event. Now there is only one conclusion--Dahlia stole some poison the
night before she killed Doug. Her motive for stealing it was to kill
someone.
Now the Judge asks you who Dahlia was planning to kill with the poison.
Present none other than Phoenix's profile. Yup, Phoenix was damn lucky
she did go after him right away. Phoenix was originally targetted to be
poisoned. Dahlia never was in love with Phoenix. All she wanted to do was
get back the necklace that she gave to him eight months ago.
At that time, all Dahlia wanted to do was get rid of the necklace. She had
to pin it on some guy who wouldn't be suspicious. The only problem with
this was that Phoenix refused to hand back the necklace. It was Phoenix's
treasured possession, and would never give it back. Dahlia then tried to
kill Phoenix recently to get the bottle back.
Dahlia then comes in, angry at Phoenix for being useless at everything. She
then challenges you to present some evidence that she was planning to kill
Phoenix. Present the Coldkiller X bottle. The contents of the bottle have
been poisoned. Phoenix said earlier that his bottle was lost. Dahlia took
his bottle at lunch, went to the pharacology lab, and inserted poison into
the bottle, all knowing that Phoenix would use it.
Eight months ago she gave the poison to Phoenix Wright. She pulled the same
thing today. When Phoenix left the crime scene, Dahlia appeared. She was
hearing the conversation the two were having, and realized that since Doug
knew she was stealing poison, Dahlia had to dispose of Doug. She used to
severed cable lines to kill him.
But, Phoenix later came back to check up on Doug. Students also showed up
to check out what was going on. Dahlia knew that if she was searched again,
the poisoned bottle would link her to the crime from eight months ago.
Thusly, she made Doug hold the bottle.
Dahlia still denies your claims, and so when asked to take the medicine in
the Coldkiller X bottle, Well, that was...boring. Dahlia gives up and
claims that you have won this battle. She is certain that the both of you
will meet up again.
Sweet. Mia actually won this trial. Right before the verdict, Payne's hair
flies off in complete disbelief. Not really sure how that logically works
out, but it explains his baldness in the previous games. Phoenix Wright is
proclaimed Not Guilty, and trial is over.

Date-April 11, 3:16 PM
Location-District Court; Defendent Lobby No. 3
----------------------------------------------
You will meet up with Phoenix after the trial, and he is pretty sure that
the Dahlia who was testifying wasn't really her. He then states again that
he's studying to become a defense lawyer. Phoenix hopes that they see
each other in court again. How ironic that they do several years later.
Hell, they are even partners at that time.
Then you get a little speech from Phoenix. Turns out he was just recalling
all of these events. He became a lawyer and managed to save his friend
(Larry I'm guessing?), yet Mia isn't here any longer. After some thoughts
from Mia as well, the episode will finally come to an end.

It's 1 in the morning. A safe can be seen, with a detective nearby, whose
silhouette looks strikingly similar to Gumshoe's. The safe is then opened
to ensure that a priceless jewel is still concealed in there, but once it
has been opened, all that can be found is something that looks like a
calling card, reading "Mask DeMasque". The criminal escapes into the sky,
traveling towards the full moon. What the hell is going on?

Maya appears whilst Phoenix is busy...scrubbing the toilet. Maya says
something about hitting the big time, but instead of involving Phoenix, it
involves Pearl, who I'm sure you remember from the last game. Pearl will
hand you a promotional poster for a treasure exhibition, and this one is
featuring artifacts from the Kurain Village, with the main item appearing
to be the cracked vase from case 2-2 that Pearl broke. It still clearly
looks broken, and nobody paid any notice to the fact it should read "AMI"
and not "I AM".
Pearl and Maya got some VIP passes to the exhibit for tonight, despite it
being publically open next week. Looks like we're going to an art exhibit.
Sounds...exciting.
For all of the new players, Maya and Pearl Fey's bio's will be explained by
Phoenix. Maya has been assistant manager here for a while, while Pearl
still remains the cute girl who get's herself unknowingly into trouble. But
she's cute, so it's ignorable, right? Once you learn that both of them are
still spirit mediums, the TREASURE EXHIBIT POSTER will be added to the
Court Record. You'll see the Magatama in here as well. That explains why we
still have the crappy health bar system.
You'll now move to the exhibit location.
-----------------------------------------
Date-October 11, 7:18 PM
Location-Lordly Tailor; Main Exhibit Hall
-----------------------------------------
This place is the city's greatest department store. Once you screen opens
up, you'll note it sure looks like one. Pearl and Maya seem quite excited
over the exhibit. Not sure why--it's just stuff from their hometown being
displayed in cases.
Well, Maya comments that the person in charge of all this is waiting in the
basement warehouse for you guys. Examine if you wish, but there's nothing
important here. Move to the Basement Warehouse.
------------------------------------------
Date-October 11
Location-Lordly Tailor; Basement Warehouse
------------------------------------------
This area sure looks dank and creepy. Before you can do anything, someone
greets you. It's none other than Adrian Andrews from case 2-4 in the last
game. How great to see her, I guess. She is in charge of the promotion and
planning for the exhibit, as well as the security for it. She mentions that
all of the valuable items are still stored in this warehouse.
Talk to her about "Adrian Andrews". Andrews and Maya will recount their
tales from the Nickel Samurai case, and you'll learn she quit her old job
to take up this one. Now ask about "Lordly Tailor". She mentions that the
warehouse is well protected.
Switch to the right side of the screen first by pressing L or the arrow
button at the bottom of the screen. Right away a large golden statue should
stand out at you. Examine this to find it's a statue of Ami Fey. It just
arrived this morning. AMI FEY'S GOLDEN STATUE will be added to the court
record.
The statue is also holding a Shichishito, a ceremonial sword. It isn't
actually designed to be a weapon, so the end isn't very sharp. Before you
can do anything else, Andrews escorts all of you to dinner. You'll wind up
back at the office.
Phoenix will comment that the dinner was nice, but that something terrible
and unpredictible would happen the next day.
---------------------------------

---------------------------------
Maya and Pearl will arrive just as Phoenix is cleaning the toilet again.
They hurredly turn on the TV to a news bulletin that renowned treasure
thief, Mask DeMasque, who stole something from Lordly Tailor. Mask
Demaskque ended up stealing the sacred Kurain Urn. Talk to Maya about the
"Sacred Urn". Maya will show you the promo poster again to remind you what
the urn looks like. Maya will then comment that the urn no longer has "Ami"
writted on it, but instead "I am".
Best not to tell Maya that was Pearl's doing. The SACRED URN will be added
to the Court Record. Now ask about "What to do". Pearl exclaims that you
need to find the guy who stole the urn and bring him to justice. Not sure
how we should get a start on it, but Pearl is all worked up on the idea.
Now ask about "Last year's incident". You'll recount on the murder in
Kurain Village from last year, and how the vase ended up with "I AM" on it.
Funny how nobody ever noticed it. With this info in hand, move to the Main
Exhibition Hall.
--------------------------------------------
Date-October 12
Location-Lordly Tailor; Main Exhibition Hall
--------------------------------------------
Well, the main hall looks exactly the same. You'd think Mask DeMasque would
have stolen more than one thing. Crappy thief. Before you can start to
examine the place, Detective Gumshoe arrives on the scene. After a little
exchange of anger messages between Gumshoe and Phoenix, talk to him about
"What happened". He recounts that the thief stole the Sacred Urn, and that
the crime occurred last night at around 1:30 in the morning. The time was
around that because a security guard called in and reported the urn was
stolen.
The urn was kept in the basement warehouse. He mentions someone who thinks
they are an Ace Detective. Ask about "Mask DeMasque" now. It appears this
thief is quite famous, known well for his many disguises. He only goes
after the rarest works of art, and the urn has been the fifth thing he has
stolen. Sadly, since Lordly Tailor didn't cooperate, Gumshoe couldn't catch
DeMasque this time. DeMasque sends out a calling card before each heist.
As about "Ace Detective". This guy that Gumshoe refers to was able to get
the fourth stolen object back in right possession, As it turns out, he is
at the scene of the crime looking for clues. Perhaps we will see him later.
Finally, ask about the "Calling card". It turns out to be a small green
card with his signiture emblem inscribed onto it. The only way the calling
card can be determined as genuine is if it has that mark. CALLING CARD will
be added to the Court Record. Like Gumshoe says, if you checked the Calling
Card yourself, Mask DeMasque really does notify the people he's stealing
from ahead of time. That's really weird. Head to the Basement Warehouse.
------------------------------------------
Date-October 12
Location-Lordly Tailor; Basement Warehouse
------------------------------------------
As soon as you enter the warehouse again, a mysterious man will greet you.
Turns out that this guy is quite good at figuring out complete obscure
things about people (and is good at insulting them to boot!). He is Luke
Atmey. What a subtle pun. He also mentions that he is the ace detective
that Gumshoe was referring to.
What a strange man. Talk to him about "Ace Detective". Yeah, he's really
the best of the best. He even goes as far as to call himself the arch-enemy
of Mask DeMasque. He's been tailing DeMasque ever since his first crime,
returning the Portrait of Mejeena after one such heist. Though, by the way
he speaks, he doesn't seem as great as his stories make him seem.
Ask about "Mask DeMasque" now. Atmey and DeMasque has a battle in the
warehouse yesterday, but allowed him to get away. Um, well, ask about "The
night of the crime" now. Atmey was requested for his services by Lordly
Tailor, and it was only ten days ago that DeMasque's calling card came.
Adrian, of course, hired him. Atmey tried setting a trap for when DeMasque
was to arrive, and waited for him alone. Seems like Atmey enjoys waiting
alone, out of sight from others.
Nobody came through the entrance of the warehouse, like he expected. But,
the Sacred Urn still disappeared. So, despite nobody showing up, the urn is
still missing. Like Pearl and Phoenix think, this is just a load of crap.
Atmey is hiding something. You will need to examine a few things before
going on, but Atmey will stop you from examining. To gain access, present
the Calling Card to him. Atmey says now that he will allow you access to
examine the area as he investigates elsewhere (good thing--I was sick of
his theme song now).
Hopefully we don't need to visit his office, either. Check the computer on
the left side of the screen. This computer holds data from the security
cameras. Whenever someone enters or exits the warehouse, a picture of the
person is taken. You couldn't get a picture, but you were able to get the
camera's data. The camera went off once last night. CAMERA DATA will be
added to the Court Record.
At the bottom of the screen is a pink box. This was the box that held the
Sacred Urn in it. On the bottom of this wooden box that Maya made are some
spots that look like blood. Or wet paint, or something else. Now you should
examine the blue sword on the ground right next to the box. This was the
ancient Shichishito sword that the golden Ami statue was holding. Wait,
what was that? The statue was holding it last night, but now it's on the
ground. The end of the sword has also been bent slightly. Phoenix thinks
that someone used this sword yesterday. SHICHISHITO will be added to the
Court Record.
Change to the other side of the screen. Examine the pink paint near the
golden Ami statue. This paint wasn't here last night, yet it is somehow dry
right now. Phoenix then notices some sort of shape at the corner of the
stain. Finally, examine the golden Ami statue. Pearl notices that the
statue was moved slightly to the right from the location that it was at
yesterday. What is the reasoning for this? Either way, AMI FEY'S GOLDEN
STATUE will be updated in the Court Record.
There's nothing else right now. Head back into the Main Exhibition Hall.
-----------------------------------------
Date-October 12
Location-Lordly Tailor; Main Exhibit Hall
-----------------------------------------
Phoenix's cell phone goes off when you come back upstairs. Gumshoe will be
on the other end of the line, laughing that he finally bested the Ace
Detective at something. He goes on to say that he caught someone. Who? None
other than Mask DeMasque himself. Actually, he ended up surrendering. Huh?
That's not interesting!
Sadly, Gumshoe isn't yet ready to detail the whereabouts of the Sacred Urn
at the time. He tells you to return to the Detention Center so he can tell
you the news. Not only that, but DeMasque is there and wishes to speak to
Phoenix. Move to the Wright & Co. Law Offices, and from there, move to the
Detention Center.
-----------------------------------------
Date-October 12
Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room
-----------------------------------------
Gumshoe will greet you upon entering the Detention Center. He's still
excited that he caught Mask DeMasque, but won't answer where the Sacred Urn
is yet. Before you can discuss more about what is going on, the man in the
detention area will ask to speak with you. He doesn't look all that bad.
He calls himself Ron DeLite, otherwise known as the infamous Mask DeMasque.
Ask about "Mask DeMasque". Ron seems confused as to whether or not he is
Mask DeMasque. He won't exactly give you any more clues as to who he is, as
all he does is complain that you can't spell his name right. He then asks
if you would talk to someone named Dessie. Talk about "Sacred Urn".
This guy just keeps spieling the same stuff over and over again, until Maya
gets ticked off that he's avoiding the question. He then claims that he
lost the freaking urn. How in the hell did he lose the urn? If only we
could punch characters through our DS's. Well, talk about "Lost it?" now.
He isn't sure on where he lost the urn, but since the Magatama isn't going
off, it is a safe bet that he really did lose it somewhere.
Now, finally speak about "Dessie". He calls Dessie his wife. Turns out that
she has her own hideout. More like a mediocre apartment, actually. Well, I
hate this guy. Don't know if you do yet, but, I'm sure you want to head off
to DeMasque's Hideout. Move there.
--------------------------------
Date-October 12
Location-Mask DeMasque's Hideout
--------------------------------
When you enter the hideout, you will find Desiree DeLite waiting, expecting
Ron, though. She mentions something about you helping Ron. Why would we be
helping the criminal?
Talk to her about "Ron DeLite". After mentioning that the news broadcast
mentioned Maya doing some shady business, Desiree says that she wanted to
meet the lawyer that they mentioned on television, which happens to be you.
She then says that Ron kept saying he wanted to turn himself into the
police, claiming that he was the one who stole the urn. Desiree seems to
think Ron didn't steal it. Is she not aware that he is Mask DeMasque or
something? How confusing.
Ask about "Desiree DeLite" next. She is the type of person who needs
excitement in their lives. She also comments that Ron is totally unlike her
in the sense that he doesn't seek excitement as she does. But she does note
that Ron makes up for it in money. Ron works as a security guard, and it
appears that they get paid a lot. Lucky. I thought they were barely paid
whatsoever.
Now you can talk about "The night of the crime". She mentions that during
the heist's time she was on her motorcycle getting caught speeding by a
police officer. She didn't get home until about three in the morning. Ron
wasn't with her at all that night, though. When she got home, Ron was fast
asleep.
Now you should present Mask DeMasque's profile. Desiree says that Ron is
one of his biggest fans. Huh? Ron can be really delusional at times, so
much so that he actually thinks that he is Mask DeMasque. Talk about
"Delusions" now. It turns out that Ron just loves to dress up as Mask
DeMasque and collect figurines of him. Of course, if Ron did steal the urn,
then logically he would still have it.
Desiree is sure someone framed Ron. She hands you DESIREE'S LETTER, which
is added to the Court Record. You can't read the letter yourself, so you
will have to give it to Ron. Head back to the Detention Center.
-----------------------------------------
Date-October 12
Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room
-----------------------------------------
When you arrive back here, start by presenting Desiree's Letter to Ron. The
letter will be taken away from the Court Record now. Once Ron has read the
letter to himself, he will say that Desiree told Ron to let Phoenix defend
him in court. Be sure to choose "Take his case".
Maya will get ticked off at your decision, and Pearl gets to mad that she
runs away. Maya chases after her. When she returns, she says that Pearl
ran back to the office. Well, we have work to do. Return back to the Law
Offices.

Pearl will be waiting here for you. She seems to be in a better mood
despite what you did, going as far to make tea and cake. Hmm. Well, talk to
Maya now about "Pearl". You'll learn that when Pearl talks about Phoenix
being Maya's "special someone", it's actually a custom back where she lives
in the village. Now ask about "Maya". That psycho Morgan is still in a jail
cell where she belongs.
Talk about the "Kurain Village custom". Turns out that since the spiritual
powers only run in the women of the family, the men just leave their
marriages, especially if they've had a child. Now talk about "Maya's
mother". Maya is still sure her mother is alive somewhere, despite being
missing for 17 years.
Now Maya says you should get going. Pearl then appears and tells you that
she can find some evidence too, and leaves before you can stop her. Move
back to the Main Exhibition Hall.
--------------------------------------------
Date-October 12
Location-Lordly Tailor, Main Exhibition Hall
--------------------------------------------
You'll find Adrian waiting for you when you enter. She seems really upset
that she let the urn get stolen. Start by talking to her about "DeMasque's
calling card". The calling card arrived ten days ago. She was going to
show it to the police, but Luke Atmey stopped her. Adrian hired him twenty
days ago. She figured he knew more about DeMasque than the police. Adrian
even had a premonition something terrible would happen, and she was right.
She even ordered all the security cameras in the warehouse.
Now talk about "The security". She says that she shouldn't have even
bothered with such security. It seems the actual value of the urn was,
well, nothing. She then left the security to Atmey. Many objects arrived
later that many people had to go into the warehouse. Adrian checked
everyone, so nobody was DeMasque.
Well, that was fruitless. And as much as you may hate it, head to the Atmey
Detective Agency.
-------------------------------
Date-October 12
Location-Atmey Detective Agency
-------------------------------
Atmey will greet you upon entering, so take the chance to talk to him about
"The night of the crime". In Mask DeMasque's very first robbery, he stole
a jewel called the Tear of Emanon. So, even knowing how DeMasque attacks
and being on watch himself, Luke Atmey still couldn't prevent the stealing
of the urn. What was his modus operandi?
Now ask about "Sacred Urn". Atmey replies with some irrelevent information,
translating basically into that he doesn't know where the urn is. Now you
can ask about "DeMasque's M.O.". Well, DeMasque has to have stolen the urn
in some way. How did he do it? You won't get far before a Psyche-Lock
appears over Luke Atmey.
Ask about "Psyche-Lock". Maya will talk to you. For some reason, she has no
idea how the system works. Well, let's show her! Present the Magatama.
---------------------------------------------------
~Luke Atmey's Magatama Secret-Mask DeMasque's M.O.~
---------------------------------------------------
Atmey was standing guard at the scene of the crime. Logically, it is
impossible to have missed DeMasque when he stole the urn. Atmey still says
that he didn't see anyone. You will need to present some form of proof that
shows somebody went through the door that night. Present the Camera Data.
Somebody went through the door, making the camera go off. Obviously, one
person used the door. Atmey still is trying to hide the reason why he
couldn't have seen anyone that night. Supposing that he didn't see Mask
DeMasque that night, there was a reason he couldn't. Choose that he was
"unconscious." Atmey says that this won't be enough. You need to present
evidence that shows he was unconcious. Present the Shichishito when he
demands you back up the statement.
Well, the sword was in the statue's hand beforehand, and wasn't bent at
all. Thusly, the only thing that could have happened was that the robber
grabbed the sword and knocked Atmey unconcious, bending the sword in the
process. With that, the Psyche-Lock breaks.
---------------------------------------------------
Now you can finally ask about "DeMasque's M.O.". Atmey no longer tries to
hide the fact he was clobbered when looking at the computer. He couldn't
have entered the room normally, so he must have come in another way. He
was hit on the head by the sword soon after the arrival of DeMasque.
SHICHISHITO will be updated in the Court Record.
Phoenix states that Atmey never saw DeMasque. Thusly, it may not even be
him at all, but a different thief entirely! Atmey interrupts, saying he
installed a security camera for just that reason. He presents a photo of
the thief in action. Well, without a doubt that man in the photo sure is
dressed up like Mask DeMasque. SECURITY CAMERA PHOTO will be added to the
Court Record.
Now you need to ask about "DeMasque's reason". Atmey says that there is a
good reason DeLite dressed up as DeMasque. He urges you to check out the
gree envelope in his room. Ignorig just how he happens to know such info,
head over to the DeMasque's Hideout.
--------------------------------
Date-October 12
Location-Mask DeMasque's Hideout
--------------------------------
Follow Atmey's instructions. Examine the green envelope sitting on the blue
stool close to you. The letter inside the envelope tells Ron to go to KB
Security at 1:00 AM on October 12, bringing with him $50,000 if he doesn't
want his true identity revealed. Someone will also take a red diamond he
got, too. It's a blackmail letter. BLACKMAIL LETTER will be added into the
Court Record now.
The doorbell will ring, and Desiree will answer it. After a short
conversation between the person and Desiree, and he'll appear. Oh snap, it
is none other than Larry Butz! It's about time he makes another appearance.
Oh, it's not that bad. When you get the chance (after Larry accused you of
being married to Desiree), talk about "Larry Butz". Larry has been having
trouble keeping a girlfriend the past two years. They keep on moving around
the world, and he can't keep up with them. He has such terrible luck with
them, it's kind of hard not to laugh at how pathetic it is.
Now talk about "Why you came here". He's a security guard, and he found a
wallet while working last night. RON'S WALLET will be added to the Court
Record. Since Ron isn't here, we'll have to do something about the wallet
later. He's working for a private security company as a guard, hence the
odd uniform.
Talk about the "Wallet" next. He asks if he needs an alibi, since he
doesn't want it collapsing with an evidence product in the future. He says
he found it around 1:00 AM on the first floor of the building. That may
seem wierd, but it turns out that Ron works at that building, too. He even
shows a key card that Ron has for the company. KEY CARD will be added to
the Court Record as well.
Present the Key Card back to Larry. The serial number makes it belong to
the CEO's office. Every time this card is used, a record is kept of it.
The KEY CARD will be updated in the Court Record. Now, present the
Blackmail Letter.
After Larry freaks out that he thinks you're blackmailing him, he sees that
KB Security is writted on the note. That's the place Larry has his job. Now
you can talk about "KB Security". The company's office is quite a distance
away. The distance between Lordly Tailor and KB Security causes a problem.
Due to it, there's no way Ron could have stolen the Sacred Urn in time.
Phoenix's phone rings, this time it's Pearl. Pearl seems to have gotten
lost while trying to help you. She ended up infront of the office of Luke
Atmey. Let's head there. Go to the Atmey Detective Agency.
-------------------------------
Date-October 12
Location-Atmey Detective Agency
-------------------------------
Pearl is here when you enter, and so is something "different", or so says
Maya. Start by examining the obvious-the large dufflebag sitting on the
clothed table infront of you. Before you get a chance to break into Atmey's
personal belongings (good job, Phoenix), Atmey will return to his office.
He says that you have other things to be worrying about, such as tomorrow's
trial.
Talk about "Tomorrow's trial" now. He says that he will be testifying
tomorrow. You will also be facing off against prosecutor Godot. Who? He
doesn't sound scary...
Talk about "DeMasque's identity" next. Seems like Atmey is sure that DeLite
is actually DeMasque. Now ask who "Godot" is. He seems to be a legendary
prosecutor that is going to tear Phoenix to shreds, more so than Manfred
von Karma. Atmey also says that Miles Edgeworth is traveling abroad at the
moment, but he did acknowledge that Godot was a skilled prosecutor.
Well, that finally concludes the investigation for the day. Marks the first
time you're going into court that has nothing to do with a murder. Save the
game when prompted.
===========================================================================
~6B.Part 2 Trial~
===========================================================================
----------------------------------------------
Date-October 13, 9:36 AM
Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 4
----------------------------------------------
You will meet up with Maya right before the trial. She hands you a picture
of Mask DeMasque that she bought a little while ago. They way they promote
the guy, he seems more like a hero than a robber. MASK DEMASQUE PUBLICY
PHOTO will be added to the Court Record.
Ron appears soon after, screaming that he is the criminal. Ron still isn't
making sense with his speeches. He thinks he did the crime, yet doesn't
have the urn or any recollection of it. Desiree appears with him, saying
that Ron is innocent for sure. Uh, okay. Damn this case is making little
sense.
----------------------------------------
Date-October 13, 10:00 AM
Location-District Court, Courtroom No. 6
----------------------------------------
Well, that is prosecutor Godot. He's never lost a case. Ever! The best part
about Godot? He's never been in a case. Ever! Yeah, I thought we heard he
was legendary. Everyone calls him that, yet he's a nobody. And I'll say it
now--he is a nobody. Don't feel intimidated by that red visor. He's a real
crappy prosecutor.
Well, enough ranting about Godot. He seems to know Phoenix and has come to
do battle with him, whatever that means. The first witness, naturally, is
Gumshoe. He'll start with his testimony right away.
------------------------------------------------------
~Detective Gumshoe's Testimony-Mask DeMasque's Crimes~
------------------------------------------------------
-Mask DeMasque is a master thief that first started his crime spree 6
months ago.
-He's so confident that he sends his calling card before he even commits
the crime!
-This was his fifth heist, and as usual, he sent a card on to Lordly
Tailor.
-His pattern is to always go after only the most precious art pieces.
-That's why we're sure it was Mask DeMasque, sir. It fits his M. O. to a
T!
Start by pressing the fourth statement. You will learn of the priceless
artifacts that DeMasque has stolen in previous outings. However, something
isn't right. Present the Sacred Urn at that statement. Remember in your
discussing with Adrian, she told you that when it was looked at, the urn
had absolutely no value whatsoever.
Thusly, the urn isn't something that DeMasque would actually go after.
This means that Mask DeMasque didn't steal the urn. Godot says that a fake
must have stolen it. Godot and the Judge will demand some proof that the
Mask DeMasque that stole the urn was actually a fake. Present the Security
Camera Photo.
If you ever compared the DeMasque in this photo to the one in the promo
poster that Maya gave you, you may have noticed a glaring fault--DeMasque's
broach is missing. When Godot asks to back this up, point to the spot where
the broach would normally be--just below his neck. The DeMasque in the
security photo is missing such a broach. It's even the emblem on the
calling card if you didn't notice. This means the one who broke into the
Lordly Tailor must be a fake.
Godot interrupts and presents the missing broach himself. He found the
broach behind the statue of Ami. He then says that Ron's fingerprints could
also be found on the broach. Well, this sucks. The broach has some cloth
left on the back of it, as if it were torn off during a struggle.
DEMASQUE'S BROACH will be added to the Court Record.
Godot calls forth his next witness, one you already knew was going to
appear. It's none other than Luke Atmey. Ignoring all the annoying talk
that Atmey spills out, time for a testimony.
-----------------------------------------
~Luke Atmey's Testimony-What I Witnessed~
-----------------------------------------
-It was approximately 1 o'clock in the morning...just after the date
changed.
-That's when my nemesis, the infamous Mask DeMasque, dancingly descended
upon me!
-Just as I began to turn, the coward struck a fierce blow upon my noble
head!
-Darkness swallowed me before I could land a single strike. When I awoke,
he was gone.
-Thirty minutes later, I used an emergency phone to notify the police.
Press the fourth statement. Atmey says again that he was knocked
unconcious right away, but that can't possibly be true. Present the
DeMasque's Broach at this statement. After all, this broach shows signs
that a struggle occurred before it was torn off.
There was only one person in the room DeMasque entered--Atmey. He had to
have fought with DeMasque, even if just to pull off his broach. Atmey will
testify again, this time about his fight with the thief.
---------------------------------------------
~Luke Atmey's Testimony-Fight With The Thief~
---------------------------------------------
-Indeed, it's true that I looked away from the door for a brief moment.
-However...Luke Atmey cannot be so easily discombobulated!
-Unfortunately, the thief grabbed a weapon from the side and...rendered me
senseless.
-A true gentleman fights only with his own fists...But they were not
enough.
-His first blow struck true! Bam! ...And that's all she wrote.
Press the first statement to learn that Atmey looked from the door in order
to check the computer, which has just recorded the alarm going off. Choose
to ask "About the sensor". You'll learn that he placed detectors everywhere
near every entrance. Now, press the final statement.
Atmey will describe how he was trying to fight against the villian. When
some choices come up, choose "Atmey Fighting Style?". All he says is to put
your back against the wall during an attack. The Judge will ask if this was
important. Choose "It was very important.". The following statement will be
added to the testimony:
-I put my back to the wall to fight, but the thief's blow landed upon my
third eye.
Press this new statement. He's actually referring to his forehead when he
means third eye. At this statement, you need to present the Shichishito.
Yeah, there's a problem. Atmey told you quite clearly yesterday, not to
mention it's in the Court Record, that he was hit by the weapon at the back
of his head and not the front.
This blatant contradiction isn't the only thing that stands out in his
testimony. Atmey has also been hiding the calling card that was sent by
Mask DeMasque from the police. It seems as though Atmey was afraid they
would help with security. Godot objects (for the first time yet) saying
that Atmey has just made a simple mistake. However, Phoenix thinks
otherwise. When given the choice, choose that "Mr. Atmey is Mask DeMasque".
It's the only logical answer.
That sure got a reaction out of Atmey. He was hiding at crime scenes, so
nobody ever saw him. Not only that, but in a previous heist he just happens
to recover the stolen object. Basically, Atmey is full of crap as he tries
to worm his way out of this. All he did was dress as the thief and steal
the urn. Right before you are able to prove that Atmey is the criminal,
Godot objects, as well as flings a coffee cup at you.
He says that this isn't true, and demands that you show some proof to back
up your claim. Choose that the proof "has yet to be found!". Well, as much
as you'd hate to admit it, no proof can actually be presented right now.
Well, it looks like things are all over for you.
But wait! Desiree appears just in the nick of time. She hands you the
dufflebag that was in Atmey's office yesterday. But that's not the
important part. She brought the contents of the bag--the Sacred Urn itself.
SACRED URN will be updated in the Court Record.
Atmey looks more flustered than ever. Godot objects, saying that since she
is the wife of Ron, she is only trying to save him from conviction. Well,
it is true she could have found it anywhere. You need to prove in some way
that the urn was in the Atmey Detective Agency to begin with. Choose to
"Show fingerprints on the urn". Sadly, Atmey says that he is wearing gloves
all of the time, so his fingerprints would never be on the urn.
Phoenix will claim that he knows whose fingerprints should appear on the
urn. Present Phoenix's profile. Yeah, seems suicidal, but after all,
Phoenix checked the bag yesterday and did end up touching the urn. So, if
Phoenix's fingerprints end up being on the urn, then it proves that it
does belong to Atmey after all.
Godot objects, saying you could have touched it at any time. But Adrian
said earlier that she polished the urn to make it nice and clean. Any
previous fingerprints on it would have been washed away. Atmey goes quite
insane after this, proclaiming that he actually is Mask DeMasque after all.
Sweet. Looks like we won this trial without much of a fight. And now...
Damnit, Ron! Stop screwing us over! He keeps on going on and on about how
he is the real thief, not Atmey. Now Ron wants to testify about how he is
the real Mask DeMasque, so you'll have to prove him incorrect, or he will
be getting the guilty verdict he wants. Well, I'm confused. Why are we
defending the insane people again?
-------------------------------------------------
~Ron DeLite's Testimony-Mask DeMasque's Identity~
-------------------------------------------------
-The truth is, I've been Mask DeMasque all along!
-I mean, you can't prove that I'm not actually Mask DeMasque, can you?
-I don't have an alibi for the night the urn was stolen, after all!
-I donned my costume that night and dancingly descended upon the scene of
the crime!
-Look! You can see right there in the photo! That's me!
-As for my broach, I snagged it on the door handle and it got torn off,
that's all!
Press the third statement, as anything else just get's Phoenix to say he
needs to find a way to prove it was impossible for Ron to be near the urn.
Phoenix thinks that he may have some form of evidence that proves Ron had
some form of alibi when the robbing took place. Choose "Yes, I have
evidence.". Present Ron's Wallet.
After all, his wallet was found at the same time that the robbery took
place. It was found at KB Security headquarters. Thusly, he had to be there
on that night, and not at the warehouse. And since there was a considerable
distance between there and the warehouse, he couldn't have gone there in
time even if he wanted to. Ron then refutes, saying that someone must have
placed the wallet there to make it look like he was there and not doing
something like pulling off a heist.
Phoenix presents the Key Card, and that Ron dropped his wallet when using
the card. Godot says that Ron would need some form of motive to enter KB
Security in the middle of the night. Now you need some evidence to back up
a motive. Present the Blackmail Letter. At the time of the real theft, Ron
was busy dealing with a blackmailer in the CEO's office.
Godot managed to object to your nonsense, asking if you even asked the CEO
himself about it. Now you need to present something of someone that will
backup the claim that Ron was inside the CEO's office that night. Now
present Larry's profile. Larry was working as a security guard that nigh.
Now it turns to the Key Card. Remember that Larry said these kinds of cards
leave records when used.
All that's left to do now is analyze the contents of the Key Card. After
a short intermission, the person who is the CEO is Kane Bullard. The Key
Card in question was used at 1 AM on the day of the crime. KEY CARD is
updated in the Court Record.
Furthermore, this means that the person in the security camera photo can't
be Ron DeLite. Thusly, you have successfully proven that he had an alibi
that night and couldn't be the real Mask DeMasque. Ron must have been in
the CEO's office that night.
Well, that's it. Ron has earned himself a Not Guilty verdict for real this
time, and nothing he says can get him out of it!
----------------------------------------------
Date-October 13, 2:24 PM
Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 4
----------------------------------------------
Well, this short and simple case wraps up quite nicely. You proved your
(insane) defendant innocent, got the real criminal, and nothing went wrong.
Mia didn't have to help at all, either! Woo! Pearl, Maya, and Desiree come
and celebrate your victory. After Pearl slaps Phoenix several times,
thinking that he's cheating on Maya or something, but then Godot comes up
to you.
Sadly, he says that the body of the CEO, Kane Bullard, was found dead. He
was found to be dead at around 1 AM, October 12. Aw crap, now that we have
freed Ron from being a thief, we have yet to clear him of being a murderer.
What, why would a CEO want to blackmail Ron, if he even is the blackmailer?
Ron was in the CEO's office at 1 AM, the exact time and place of the
murder. Ron is looking a bit suspicious now. Ron was once a security
guard at KB, so it seems natural that he would have some connections to the
place. Well, looks like Ron is heading right back off to the Detention
Center. Sucks to be him.
Well, on a final note of battle, Godot wishes you goodbye. Now we get to
try and prove Ron innocent for murder. When you get the chance, save the
game. This case just got much longer and complicated.

Maya helps rub in the pain by saying you did too good of a job getting Ron
off the hook, so much so that now he's convicted of murder. Pearl then
heads off to Kurain Village alone to take back the urn. She also wants you
and Maya to have some alone time. The Sacred Urn will be handed to Pearl.
Start off by talking to Maya about "What to do". Maya says that you should
ask Desiree where KB Security is located. She also says you should stop by
the Detention Center first to ask Ron several questions. Talk about the
"Sacred Urn" now. Maya will say that something is wrong with the urn--it
has I AM spelled in the exhibition photo, but it looks fixed with AMI
written on it. There's also the matter of the pink splotches on it. Could
the urn be a fake?
Talk about "Kurain Village" next. Maya will recount what happened during
the murder in the village from last year. Head over to the Detention Center
now.
-----------------------------------------

Ron is going under some interrigation right now, so you aren't able to talk
to him. Now head over to DeMasque's Hideout.

Location-Mask DeMasque's Hideout
--------------------------------
Desiree is still here, complaining that Ron wouldn't kill somebody. Once
she has stopped complaining, talk to her about "Ron DeLite". She will say
again that Ron would never kill somebody. Despite the fact that he probably
isn't the killer, it still seems odd that he calls himself a thief even
though we already found out just who to real thief was. Desiree says that
she known everything about Ron, and fell in love with him at first sight.
Now ask about "Detective Atmey". Desiree ended up getting nervous during
trial and left early, trying to find some info on the real criminal. Since
she figured that Atmey knew a lot about DeMasque, she figured she would go
ask him some questions herself. When she poked into his office, she found
the dufflebag lying on the table. And that, you know, she brought to court.
Now talk about "KB Security". Desiree still thinks that Ron is working
there. Desiree will tell you the location of KB Security, so you can go
there now. Finally, ask about "Love at first sight?". Ron ended up saving
Desiree from two robbers one day. Well, enough love stories--head over to
the CEO's Office.
----------------------------------
Date-October 13
Location-KB Security; CEO's Office
----------------------------------
What a creepy room for an office. Look's more like a vault. Detective
Gumshoe is here, as you may have thought, investigating the scene. Once
Maya stops insulting Gumshoe, you should first ask about "What happened".
The victim of the murder was Kane Bullard, CEO of KB Security. He was found
dead at 9:00 AM this morning, and thought to have been killed at 1:00 AM on
October 12. Killed by a blunt force to the head. AUTOPSY REPORT will be
added to the Court Record.
Oddly enough, the body was found in the large safe to the left, explaining
why it took so long to discover the missing body. Now ask about "Detective
Atmey". Atmey is also at the Detention Center, laughing and screaming at
the police. Good to know he's still insane. Gumshoe explains that it should
have been obvious since Atmey always disappeared when the heists took
place. Gumshoe says that there was a witness on DeMasque's first heist.
NEWSPAPER CLIPPING will be added to the Court Record.
Now you can ask about "Prosecutor Godot". Gumshoe says that Godot is
completely shrouded in mystery. He just came to the prosecutor's office one
day, and faced off in court for the first time today. Oddly, he seems to be
an expert despite this being his first case. Everyone else thinks Godot is
too strange to be talked about. Perhaps he is hiding some secret?
Present the Newspaper Clipping to Gumshoe. Gumshoe lost the information on
the only witness, but the guard in the picture ended up being the witness.
Him and Atmey worked together to catch DeMasque. Gumshoe has the feeling
that he's seen the guard lately.
Now you should start to examine the area. Check out the blue binder on the
front table. For some reason, it is filled to the brim with information
about Mask DeMasque, not something about security! Towards the end of the
book is a piece of paper that lists the treasures DeMasque has stolen, and
their values. KANE'S LIST will be added to the Court Record. If you check
it, the treasures have been increasing in value. The $100,000 Tear of
Emanon was first, and up to the $800,000 Portrait of Mejeena. So why, then,
would he steal a worthless urn?
Examine the large gold safe on the left. Gumshoe steps in, saying that
there weren't any traces of fingerprints found on the safe. Gumshoe also
says that opening the safe is insanely difficult, and that only a few
people actually know how to do it. Everyone that knows how to open the safe
has an alibi, except for, naturally, Ron. Looks like Ron knew how to open
the safe as well.
Now, examine the red button just behind the CEO's desk. Maya presses the
button in curiosity, making a loud and annoying alarm go off. After Gumshoe
freaks out a bit, he explains that it's an emergency buzzer, as if you
should have been able to read that from the label. The buzzer is connected
to the basement's guard room. Sadly, the CEO never pressed the button on
the night that he was attacked. No fingerprints were found on the buzzer,
either. Kane Bullard wasn't wearing gloves at all, so it's impossible for
him to have pushed the button. EMERGENCY BUZZER added to the Court Record.
You can examine the picture or shelves if you want, but for now, head to
the Security Room.
-------------------------------------------
Date-October 13
Location-KB Security; Security Guard Office
-------------------------------------------
What a high-tech office. Larry, if you remember, works here. He greets you
upon entering, and then says that he has some news about the murder. Talk
to him about the "Good info". After Maya warms him up, Larry will say that
Ron was an employee here a while ago. However, he was fired one year ago.
There wasn't any warning to the firing, either.
Now talk about "Security guard". Larry talks about what he has to do as a
security guard. It's the normal "watch the screens for hours" stuff. Now
ask about "The night of the crime". Looks like Larry isn't ready to spill
out what he saw this night, and a pair of Psyche-Locks appear over him.
Well, with nowhere else to go, present the Magatama to get this rolling.
-----------------------------------------------------
~Larry Butz's Magatama Secret-The Night of the Crime~
-----------------------------------------------------
Phoenix starts to accuse Larry of not being on the job through the entire
night. You will then be demanded to present some evidence that shows Larry
had to have left his position some time during the night. Present Ron's
Wallet. After all, Larry practically gave that away for you. Larry had to
visit Desiree yesterday in order to hand back the wallet. He found the
wallet at around 1:00 AM in the morning, the same time as the murder.
Thusly, he wasn't in the security guard office at the time of the murder.
There's still one lock to go. Larry now says that his shift didn't start
until 10:00 PM. The murderer might have snuck in before that time. If that
is true, than it's the fault of the previous guard and not Larry. Now you
need to present evidence that completely shows the murderer must have snuck
in well after 10:00 PM. Present the CEO Office Key Card. The card has some
data of being used at 1:00 AM. So, Larry doesn't know about the card being
used. Great. With that, the last lock breaks.
-----------------------------------------------------
Now you can ask about "The night of the crime". During the middle of his
shift, Larry's girlfriend called and showed him that she had gotten another
boyfriend. The guy then knocked out Larry, explaining now how he couldn't
have been in the security office. Maya suggests you show him some evidence
to make him feel better. Present the CEO Office Buzzer.
Larry agrees to talk about the buzzer. Ask about "Emergency buzzer" next.
Maya will ask if it is true that the buzzer never went off on the night of
the murder. Larry heads off to check on the records of the buzzer uses, and
comes back surprised. The buzzer was actually used once in the morning,
just after 1 AM, the time of the murder. BUZZER RECORD will be added to the
Court Record. If you check it, the buzzer went off at 1:02 AM. Head back
into the CEO's Office.

Gumshoe is still here. Present Kane Bullard's profile to him. Although he
doesn't know much, you can now ask about "The victim". This company
actually sends security teams to companies that request them. Bullard
probably learned many secrets while doing this work. Bullard also loved his
money, and earned millions from his business.
Bullard also traded company secrets to some rival companies. KB Security
also used to head security operations against Mask DeMasque. After many
screw ups, the company started to falter. It can be easily told now that
Bullard sent Ron the blackmail letter. Head to the Basement Warehouse now.
------------------------------------------
Date-October 13
Location-Lordly Tailor; Basement Warehouse
------------------------------------------
You will find Adiran down here still, looking as messed up as ever. She'll
be happy to hear that the urn was found. Now talk to her about "DeMasque's
identity". She'll feel bad about herself about realizing that she was the
person who hired DeMasque to be a security guard, which just ended up in
the urn getting stolen even more easily. Remember, Atmey was hired 20 days
ago, and the card came 10 days ago. Obviously, Atmey must have done it.
Now ask about "The night of the crime". Atmey was hiding throughout the
night of the crime, so Adrian never got a good look at him on that night.
He just operates that way to steal stuff more easily. Now ask about the
"Sacred Urn". Phoenix notes that the urn looks different, and Maya asks if
Adrian knows anything about it. Two Psyche-Locks will appear over her. We
need a little more evidence, so for now, head back to the Detention Center.
-----------------------------------------
Date-October 13
Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room
-----------------------------------------
Ron will finally be done with the questioning, Phoenix accuses him of lying
to them, and that he was answering a blackmail letter at KB Security. We
need to get the truth out of him. Ask him about "Mask DeMasque". Ron
finally admits to being the one that didn't steal the urn. The person in
the security photo must have been Atmey, then.
Now ask about "The night of the crime". Ron now admits he really did head
over to KB Security at the time that the blackmail note said to do so. Ron
worked there a while ago, so he was already aware of where the CEO's office
was located. He knocked, and there was no answer. He then used his key card
to unlock the door himself. This is also the point in time that he likely
dropped his wallet, which Larry later found.
Ron says that when he went into the CEO's office, someone was in there. He
wasn't able to get a good look at them before the person hit Ron over the
head, knocking him out. He doesn't know if the person was Kane Bullard or
not, but the attacker did run away after hitting Ron. When Ron finally woke
up, he found the dead body of CEO Kane Bullard lying infront of him.
Figuring that he had to do something with the body, he opened the safe and
put him inside.
Ron knew how to open up the safe, as you may recall. Ron then left quite
carefully after that. Ron was the person who setup all of the security
cameras in the building, so he was aware of where they all were and what
areas they scanned. With that, he was able to safely avoid detection.
Now ask about "Why you were fired". He demands to know if you have told
that to Desiree yet. He says that she can't know that he has been living a
life of crime. Well, from the way it looks, Ron actually is Mask DeMasque.
Desiree spends money like crazy, so he became a thief in order to get the
money needed for his wife to spend.
All you can do now is present the Newspaper Clipping. This is an article
about his first heist. After stealing the expensive gem, Ron got an idea.
He hid the Mask DeMasque costume in a nearby bucket, then proceeded to
change into his security guard uniform. This means that the guard in the
picture on the clipping is actually Ron himself. NEWSPAPER CLIPPING will
be updated in the Court Record. However, Atmey actually managed to find the
disguise. He even went on the bring it home with him. That's how Atmey
managed to snag himself a broach. A few days after the incident, Ron got
the first of many blackmail letters.
Talk about "Blackmail letter" now. The letter you found wasn't the first,
but it was the first that called him to a specific location. The first
letter had someone claim that they knew he did it. In the end, he had to
give up the treasure that he worked so hard to steal. After he read the
letter, he took the jewel and put it into a certain safety deposit. When
he went to check on the jewel later, he found the person had taken it, and
in its place, found $10,000. After that moment, he started to get plans in
the mail.
Talk about "Heist plans" next. In the mail, he would start recieving plans
on how to steal valuable objects. All of the plans showed the blind spots
in the security, escape routes, and even ways of training for the entire
operation. So, in the end, Ron only planned his first crime. The rest of
them were thought up by someone else. If Ron is really Mask DeMasque,
someone else is really behind the thefts. All he had to do is place the
treasures in the mail, and he eventually got money back for them. As it
turns out, Ron never even saw the urn. Did he even steal it? RON'S
TESTIMONY is added to the Court Record.
Ron goes on to say that he didn't kill Kane Bullard. All he did was hide
his body in the safe. He was afraid that it would be discovered that he
hid the body in the safe, so he turned himself in as the thief. If he was
guilty of robbery, then he would have had an alibi. Pearl will finally
return after all this. She ended up taking the Sacred Urn to Kurain Village
to have it examined. She says that the people there who looked at it
confirmed it to be the real urn.
However, the pink splotches all over the urn is actually paint, and that
they were put on it recently. You need to find how these splotches ended
up on the urn. SACRED URN will be added back into the Court Record. Head
over to the Basement Warehouse now.
------------------------------------------
Date-October 13
Location-Lordly Tailor; Basement Warehouse
------------------------------------------
Adrian is still here, and Phoenix comments that by examining the scene
here, as well as the urn, you can piece together what actually happened
that night. Switch screens and examine the large area of paint splattered
all over the back wall. The bottom left corner has an odd shape in the
paint, and it happens to be the same color as the marks on the urn. What is
the cause of the mark?
Switch screens again and examine the wooden box lying on the floor. There
is pink paint on this box as well, the same color as the one on the urn.
Do you see how paint got on the box and urn yet? URN BOX will be added to
the Court Record. Now, switch screens yet again and examine the paint on
the wall one more time. You and Pearl agree that the odd shape at the
corner of the dried paint was made by the box the urn was placed in. Now
we are getting somewhere. PAINT MARKS will be added to the Court Record.
All that is left to do is get the very last bit of information from
Adrian Andrews. Present the Magatama, and let's squeeze it out of her.
-------------------------------------------------
~Adrian Andrews's Magatama Secret-The Sacred Urn~
-------------------------------------------------
Phoenix tells Adrain that the urn submitted in court as evidence is most
certainly different than the one in the exhibit. Adrian says that it is
possible the urn could be a fake, and asks for evidence that the urn
submitted in court was genuine. You just figured this out yourself--present
the Sacred Urn.
Pearl just went back and confirmed that it is the real thing. However,
there is something different. This time, the urn was broken yet again.
Adrian will ask for evidence on how you can tell the urn was broken yet
again recently. Present the Treasure Exhibit Poster. You can tell from the
photo alone that the urn should have red "I AM" and that there should be
cracks all over it. The urn reads "AMI" again, though. The first lock will
break once you have figured this out.
Adrian says that she wasn't present when the picture of the urn was taken.
Even if the urn was broken, she had nothing to do with it. You will need to
present proof that the urn was broken here at Lordly Tailor. Present the
Paint Marks. There is pink paint over the urn, and pink paint all over the
floors nearby. Adrian tries to get herself out of the situation, but you
won't let her. She says there isn't any proof the paint on the urn and that
on the floor are the same paint.
Now you need proof showing they are one and the same. Present the Urn Box.
After all, the box fits the shape imprinted onto the shape of the paint on
the floor. With that, the final lock breaks.
-------------------------------------------------
Now you can ask about the "Sacred Urn". Adrian finally admits to being the
one who broke the urn. Not only did she break it, but she tried to hide
what she did. This happened two weeks, just after the promo photo was taken
and the day the urn arrived at the warehouse. She was carrying the box and
taking it to the warehouse, until she tripped over a paint can, crashing
the box onto the ground. When she picked up the box, the broken pieces of
the urn fell out and right into the wet paint.
Seeing as this was the most important article in the village, she had to
try and reassemble the urn. She figured that the urn had to read "AMI"
after all. She put the urn in the storeroom, and it hasn't been seen since.
SACRED URN will be updated in the Court Record. Adrian was so embarassed
at her mistake that she had to use the golden Ami statue to cover up the
paint. Now ask about the "Ami Fey statue".
There weren't paint marks when you first came here. On the day you
arrived, the statue also happened to come. She decided to cover up the
paint with the statue. However, when you revisited this room, the statue
had moved and the paint marks were revealed. This means that somebody else
must have moved the statue as there is no reason Adrian would move it
again.
AMI FEY'S GOLDEN STATUE will be updated in the Court Record. There seems
to be some connection between the urn and this murder. If the real Mask
DeMasque, Ron DeLite, was at KB Security, then who was here stealing the
urn? Save the game when prompted.
===========================================================================
~6D.Part 4-1 Trial~
===========================================================================
----------------------------------------------
Date-October 14, 9:41 AM
Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 4
----------------------------------------------
Maya mentions that a ton of people are here for the trial next door, the
one for Detective Atmey. Ron will burst in, demanding attention. If Ron
was just following plans this whole time, it is possible the murder and the
robberies have something in common. Phoenix also notes that you have little
time in court.
----------------------------------------
Date-October 14, 10:00 AM
Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 6
----------------------------------------
As Godot spills some more nonsensical words of wisdom, the Judge will
summarize the details of the case thus far. Godot will demand that Ron
testifies first.
------------------------------------------------
~Ron DeLite's Testimony-My Visit to KB Security~
------------------------------------------------
-That evening, around 1 AM, I went to see Mr. Bullard in his office at KB
Security.
-The blackmail letter I got...It ordered me to go there.
-I'd been working for KB Security until a year ago, so I knew where his
office was.
Oh, that's it? Short testimony. Ironically, it will take a while before you
can point out a contradiction. Start by pressing the second statement,
which seems to be missing some key information. The Judge will ask Ron if
he's gotten other blackmail letters before, and will start to explain what
they tell him to do, but Phoenix stops him. Choose to "Press harder". Ron
says that he had no intention of paying the money, and had nothing to be
afraid of. The following line will be added to his testimony:
-The blackmail thread didn't scare me. It wasn't going to cause me trouble
or anything.
Press the final statement. Godot will say that because Ron was fired for
little reason, that would be a perfect motive for murder. Phoenix will then
think of another question to ask to change the subject. Choose "Why he was
fired". Ron, sadly, replies that he needed money. Ron's salary wasn't
enough, so he decided to steal data from the company. Ron was head of his
security team, and he was easily able to obtain data of other security
teams in other buildings, and then sold that information for cash. When
Kane Bullard found out about this, Ron was promptly fired. Ron was able to
make it appear to others that he only quit his job, and the following line
is also added to the testimony:
-He fired me for selling compant secrets...but Dessie doesn't know about
that.
Now that you have this statement, you can get somewhere by pressing the
first statement that was added (The blackmail thread...). Ron says that he
is sure that the blackmail letters were referring to him being Mask
DeMasque. Godot objects, saying that Kane Bullard had no way of proving
that Ron was Mask DeMasque. Because he was stealing data, there may have
been a problem that became public knowledge. Choose "Yes, he would.".
You will need to provide some evidence that shows why Ron would need to
keep the news of him stealing data from going public. Present Desiree's
profile. Ron, as he told you, was scared of Desiree finding out that he was
a criminal. Godot now continues, saying that Ron truly was afraid of his
wife finding out about the stealings. Kane Bullard then used blackmail to
squeeze the money back out of Ron, explaining why Ron had to kill Bullard.
Godot will now demand that Ron explains what happened at the crime scene
early in the morning.
--------------------------------------------
~Ron DeLite's Testimony-At the CEO's Office~
--------------------------------------------
-When I entered the office, there was a suspicious shadow there...
-Suddenly, I was hit on the forehead. After that, I remember being a bit
dazed.
-If I hadn't been wearing that, I would have been killed!
-When I came to...Mr. Bullard was lying there...dead!
Press the third statement for some important information. You need to know
what "that" is. Ron is actually talking about his Mask DeMasque costume.
The Judge will order this statement into his testimony:
-I'd have been killed if I hadn't been wearing my Mask DeMasque costume!
Press this new statement. Ron was dressed up as DeMasque because, mainly he
is DeMasque, and because he thought that the blackmail was originally about
the Mask DeMasque issue and not the data stealing one. He mentions that
with his cape on, the process of getting there took much longer.
Choose to "Press harder". He then says that opening the safe actually took
much longer. His cape kept getting caught on the safe door while he was
trying to hide Bullard's body. The Judge gets furious at this, and orders
Ron to add this next statement to his testimony:
-I panicked and his the body in the safe. It took about 10 minutes.
There's a problem with this statement, despite it not seeming that way.
Present the Buzzer Record paper. The buzzer was pressed at 1:02 AM. If Ron
actually was the murderer, he wouldn't have been stupid enough to stand
around and wait for the security team to arrive. Godot says that Ron may
not have known there was security in the building, but that's impossible.
Ron was one of the security guards until a year ago.
There's no way he wouldn't have known about them. Although, nobody ended up
coming due to Larry being knocked out elsewhere at the time. Godot thinks
that it may have been pressed without Ron knowing it, but remember that the
buzzer is annoyingly loud. Ron didn't know the buzzer sounded because he
was knocked out shortly after entering the room. That's why he assumed he
had time to hide the body. Whoever knocked out Ron was also the person who
pushed the buzzer.
Godot keeps saying that is was Kane Bullard that pushed the buzzer, and
you may want to prove it with evidence. Choose "I can prove it alrght.".
You will need to now present some form of evidence that shows Kane couldn't
have pushed the buzzer. Present the CEO Office Buzzer itself. Remember, no
fingerprints were found on the buzzer, so there is no way he could have
pushed it.
Godot will keep on objecting to this nonsense. He still thinks that Bullard
did end up pushing the button. Mask DeMasque wears gloves, so there is no
reason for him to wipe fingerprints off the button. Now the Judge will ask
why would the real criminal, who is in the same room, want to push the
emergency buzzer, thereby putting himself in danger?
The real criminal killed Bullard at 1 AM, and Ron was heading into the CEO
office at the same moment. The criminal pushed the emergency buzzer soon
after. Security was supposed to respond,
