The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve/Final Chapter: The Resolve of Ryunosuke Naruhodo/Trial, Part 3

Trial resumes
Picking up from where you left off, Ryunosuke Narahudo and prosecutor Kazuma Asogi gets a chance to cross examine about the Klint Autospy Report as the story deepens even further than ever before. Also, why would Mael Stronghart wants to end the trial as quickly as he can? Finish the rest of the trial to find out what secrets he desperately wants to hold to for dear life.

The Autopsy of Klint van Zieks: Cross Examination
Press on Statement 4 Gorey reveals the beautiful but dangerous piece is actually Genshin's ring! The size of the ring is kind of shocking because of the claws on the red ruby. Present Genshin's Ring on Statement 3. Yujin Mikotoba confirms his doubts at the time when Doctor John Wilson who's alive at the time asked him to get the scalpel, then has to pretend to get the ring out of Klint's stomach. When Genshin identifies his ring, his arrest is immediate. But Ryunosuke points out had Klint eaten the ring that size, signs of internal trauma would've been evident on it. Kazuma continues to blame Baron Von Ziek for trying to twist the truth but Ryunosuke reminds him of why they're here. Just when Stronghart closes they case, Kazuma objects and decides to find out why Genshin is silent despite crime against him and why he's able to get out of the graveyard. Present Mr. Vigil's Dismissal Note. Ryunosuke shows that the jailbreak couldn't have done with one person alone and it could be intimately linked to "The Professor".

Kazuma demands to see the people who's involved with Genshin. Stronghart angrily rejects the request but Yujin Mikotoba already has Caidin and Vigil waiting outside as an emergency thanks to Sholmes. With the audience requesting more voices to be heard, Stronghart gives in for now but still threatens if the next testimony turns out to be nothing.

Caidin and comically Vigil acting as Gossip introduce themselves in court. They'll testify for the court and Stronghart wants Caidin to comply and Kazuma to stop threatening witness'.

The Jailbreak Plot: Cross Examination
Press on statement 5 and when Caidin reaches a statement about doing it for the British Empire, pursue Vigil. Comically, he'll salute first, then reveals that he did see the "Professor's" will and Caidin shakes him for revealing the "document". You demand that Caidin amend his statement.

On the new statement, present Asogi's papers that would help fill in the blanks about Genshin's silence.

Stronghart still demands to end the trial but you, Ryunosuke, objects, saying doing so might label Mr. Vigil as a liar, like being stabbed in the back for being honest. After the gallery cries out for more testimony, Stronghart will allow Cardin and Vigil to give one more testimony to clear up this revelation.

The Asogi Papers: Cross Examination
Press on statement 5 and again, pursue Vigil once Caidin's statement causes Vigil to react. He'll blurt out "scarlet ink". Ryunosuke asks Stronghart to allow Mr. Vigil to amend his statement.

On the new statment, present Klint's Autospy Report. In resolving the puzzle about Asogi's Papers, it reveals that Klint has scarlet ink in his right hand. After that horrifying revelation, choose confession. It turns out that it's not Genshin Asogi who is "The Professor", it's Baron's older brother, Klint!

The truth behind the Reaper
To keep the long story short, Stronghart reveals that Asogi approached him as Klint's obsession about finding the source of the crime has lead to his darkness. To no avail, Asogi goes to Klint to confront him instead. It's perhaps that it was Genshin who tried to kill him, but instead, it was the dog, Balmug who took down Klint instead. As Stronghart is about to wind down, you object!

To find out who slipped out the hidden truth, choose Mael Stronghart. Than you point out an inconsistency. Present Asogi's Papers. Why? Stronghart previously let out that it's a three page will. Stronghart will confirm with Governor Caidin that the third page is irrelevant but he brang it anyway. Despite, denying them to read the third page, the people has spoken otherwise. But Caidin doesn't read Japanese, so Yujin Mikotoba does the honors instead.

Achievement note: Near the end, after Yujin Mikotoba reads the third part of the Asogi papers, and after putting the page into the Court Records, examine "Karuma", Kazuma's sword. On the hilt, check it so you can open it as there's a hidden message behind it. Then check the hilt again for commentary between Ryunosuke and Susato to get the medal.

Mael Stronghart's downfall and confession
Growing weary, he angrily persisted in adjourning this case. So what can you do? Stronghart claim's there's no conclusive evidence. Object to Stronghart and before you present the final evidence, choose the Karuma sword and check the hilt part of it (the handle side of the sword), inside is Klint's Final Will. Present Klint's Final Will and Stronghart's ruling came crumbling down! Despite protest not to read it, you, Ryunosuke Naruhodo reads the will as Stronghart screams in anger.

In summary, it turns out that it was Mael Stronghart all along who commands the people to control crime, using Klint as an undercover "Professor". But Genshin apparently gets involved that eventually led to his death if his son, Kazuma finds out. Also during the Enoch Drebber case, it was Seishiro who shot Asogi behind the scenes but actually, he tries to find the will, not knowing that it's inside the sword Karuma all along.

Anyway, there's one major problem, Mael Stronghart is the Defense Minister. How do you send him to jail if the prosecutor or defense attorney couldn't do it? After Stronghart's speech, everyone still gives him support. Present Evidence and choose Iris's Lucky Charm! If you forgot what it looks like, it's a doll animal version of Herlock Sholmes. Miraculously, he appears visible and despite Stronghart calling for the police to throw him in jail, they went through him instead. Absurd as it sounds, it turns out that he and Iris were relaxing at Buckingham Palace where the Queen lives! Of course you can't see the Queen but she left a message, ending Mael Stronghart's reign of terror and his method of fighting crime is over.

In spectacular fashion, the jury balance scale falls over and left Mael Stronghart screaming in rage after yelling "Adjourned!", breaking his stick and falling over, throwing six small flames to the guilty side, while being burned by the fire. Once the dust settle, Stronghart confesses that he'll drive the crime by using "The Reaper" as an idea that after the person is not guilty or guilty of crime, afterwards, his people will make an effort to make it look like that the reaper has put a curse on the people suspected of murdeer.

In a final wind down, Sholmes decides to let the old English judge give his final verdict of "Not Guilty", ending the darkness of London, once and for all.
