Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure/Chapter 1: Chance Encounter

After the opening scene, you'll be thrown right into the first rhythm game, R01: Showtime.

After the scene, leave Raphael's apartment and talk to Paula using when Fondue approaches her. You can then use or  to go to your next destination, Musée d'Orsay Station. Talk to the man here and he'll tell you about medals. Medals can be obtained simply by touching the right spot on the screen, so make sure you search the area thoroughly before moving on. Try it out now and, after obtaining some medals, the man will tell you to visit the shops down the street. Go right to the Flea Market and talk to the two store owners. Bernard tells you about recording sounds. Record the sound of the bat above the shop and play the sound over to be approached by Bernard. You can then talk to Auban, the other shop owner, before a new path opens up.

Your next destination is Tuileries Garden, where you can record the sound of the Merry-Go-Round. Record the sound of the pigeons at The Louvre and go further right to reach The Louvre, Main Entry. As evidenced by the patrolling police officer, sneaking in here is impossible, which is why Phantom R will be getting in through the Denon Wing. Follow the path that opens up and touch the glowing spot for a riddle. The correct order is as follows: light blue, yellow, pink, blue, green, light pink, purple.

The Louvre
You'll make it in through the Mesopotamian Exhibit. Before you can steal the bracelet, however, you'll have to take care of security. Go left to the First Floor Escalator and take it up to the Security Room. Follow the map until you reach a scene leading into the second rhythm game, R02.

Another obstacle presents itself with the new voice recognition lock. Backtrack to the previous area, then continue on right to find a sleeping security guard. Record the sound and return to the Security Room, then play the sound back to gain access in. Touch the red button and return downstairs to continue with the theft.

Pick up Joseph the guard's notebook to conveniently obtain some useful information concerning a security passcode. Turn Phantom R's attention to the display case on the left containing the bracelet. Press the button in the middle of the last row to crack the code, then begin to make your escape by taking the new path left. You'll have to get through R03 after the scene before completing the escape.

The Escape
Follow the path until you see a scene, then use an alternate path after spotting the constable to run into another scene. Afterward, press on the constable in front of you to find out his weakness. Go right, then pan the screen right to talk to Charles about Phantom Notes. Now pan all the way left to find the bulldog and record its sound. Return to the constable and play the sound back to open up the path back to Raphael's apartment. On the path, you'll see another scene and begin R04.

After the cutscene, StreetPass becomes available and the chapter comes to an end.
