Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice/Episode 5: Turnabout Revolution/Investigation, Day 1

Wright Anything Agency
Apollo & Trucy are at the Agency, watching a report about a hijack during a TV Show in Khura'in, caused by the Defiant Dragons. Apollo is telling Trucy about how he knows Dhurke, the one who hijacked the show, when Dhurke himself shows up at the Wright Anything Agency! Trucy asks how Dhurke and Apollo are related, and he responds, saying that they are father and son! Apollo isn't too happy that Dhurke is here, especially after not visiting for such a long time. Dhurke has come to see his son...AND ask for help. Talk to Dhurke.


 * Dhurke: Dhurke introduces himself to Trucy. Trucy seems to like Dhurke's personality, but Apollo disagrees. Trucy then brings up the subject of Dhurke being the father of Apollo.
 * Foster father: Apollo grew up in the Kingdom of Khura'in. Trucy's a bit flustered that Apollo hasn't mentioned anything about this. Dhurke also questions why Apollo hasn't talked about his childhood. It's been ten years since Apollo and Dhurke have met. It's been so long, that Apollo has began forgetting Khura'in and his childhood on PURPOSE.
 * Request: Dhurke wants to have the Founder's Orb. It's a scared treasure of Khura'in. Apparently, the Defiant Dragons do not have it contrary to their broadcast and the news reports stating that they stole it. No one has seen it for a long time, but it was found by Datz Are'bal in Kurain Village. Its current owner is Archie Buff, an archeologist who was asked to study it by the real thief. Buff already accepted to give it to Dhurke, and that's where you come in to represent him during the transferal. Select Fine to accept to help Dhurke (or Nope just to have Trucy make you go back on your refusal since it'll be "fun").
 * The Founder's Orb: the orb has been excavated eight years ago. According to a legend, solving the riddle of the orb will grant immense spiritual power from the Holy Mother to the solver. With it, the Defiant Powers could gain the legal authority to rule Khura'in and overthrow Ga'ran. The Founder's Orb is added to the Court Record.

Dhurke offers Apollo some sushi, but he is still cold towards Dhurke, so he and Trucy eat them all. Dhurke has one more present: a photo of Apollo's biological father, Jove Justice. He was a roaming musician who died 23 years ago. Dhurke moved heaven and earth to uncover that one single photo, so even though Apollo hardly knew Jove, he still takes it. Photo of My Father is added to the Court Record.

Since Athena is still gone to fetch Phoenix from the airport (as he comes back today), it will only be you, Trucy and Dhurke on that little trip. Move to Kurain Village.

Kurain Village
The place is still as peaceful as back when Phoenix visited the first time. It reminds you of when you, Dhurke and Nahyuta were living in the mountains. After Dhurke shares some embarrassing facts about you and Nahyuta, Ema comes towards you, apparently not surprised to see you here. She guesses you are here to see Doctor Buff and proposes to take you to his house. Move to the Doctor's Study.

Doctor's Study
As any self-respecting archeologist, Doctor Buff has a lot of books and relics. You are more intrigued by the white outline on the floor. This outline is used to show where he died last night, accidentally killed by an avalanche of books shoving him off the huge bookshelf ladder to make a big fall on the floor. Well, that complicates the orb transferal. You need to Talk to Ema to know what happened.


 * The doctor's death: Buff was found dead under a pile of books. The death was reported this morning on the phone by an anonymous witness. Without the doctor around, we will have to find the orb ourselves.
 * The Founder's Orb: You fill Ema in on the purpose of your visit. Dhurke has an agreement in writing that Datz should currently have, so the transferal should still be legal.
 * Dhurke: you introduce Dhurke to Ema. She seems to recognize him (probably from that hijack broadcast), so you try to brush it off to not have Dhurke potentially expelled from the country back to Khura'in. She initially is not convinced, but she buys it.

Since you don't know what the orb looks like, you'll have to search the room for it. Ema gives you permission to do so.

Pan left and Examine the suitcase. Ema will give you the dust for fingerprints. There´s a handprint on the top suitcase handle, but it's not clear enough for testing. There's another one on the blue airplane sticker on the right side of the case. Once you've finished dusting the sticker fingerprint, examine and Choose Datz. Now examine the book on the floor near the suitcase. Research Notes is added to the Court Record. Pan right again and Examine the body outline, Study Diagram and Study Photo are added to the Court Record. Examine the rest of the study. Now we have to find Datz around the village.

Kurain Village 2
Talk with Paul Atishon:


 * Paul Atishon: he spoke about his pass.
 * The doctor's house: he said that the Founder´s Orb is actually the Crystal of Ami Fey. He speaks about a foreigner, you must Choose Datz. A third option is open.
 * Datz: he said that Datz is at the Detention Center. Now a fourth option is open.
 * Your benefactor: he boasts about his benefactor.

Move to the Detention Center

Detention Center
Talk with Datz:


 * About the orb: Datz has the written agreement that Dr. Buff agreed to give the orb to the Defiant Dragons, and that his research stated it was in fact the Founder's Orb, not The Crystal of Ami Fey. Orb Transfer Agreement is added to the Court Record.
 * Reason for arrest: Datz was caught hiding in a dog house after laughing at a police officer, but they're holding him because they believe he entered the country unlawfully. He can't prove otherwise, as he lost his passport. He gives us the responsibility to search for it, as well as the knowledge that Dr. Buff has a child who might know something about the orb's whereabouts.

Move to Doctor's study.

Doctor's study 2
Ema said that Phoenix Wright was there a few moments ago. She gives us the freedom to investigate the scene one more time. Now, we ought to find the passport.

Examine the drone at the bottom of the sculpture, then pan to the left and examine the suitcase, which Dhurke will open. Trucy takes the passport and decides to bring it back to Datz. The drone turns on, and begins attacking you.

Talk with Sarge, who is controlling the drone:

Present Photo of my father. Jove Justice was also killed in an arson attack, but managed to save his infant son.
 * Sergeant Buff: The doctor's child is controlling this drone. It comes outfitted with a camera, microphone, a prehensile hand, and everything else a shut-in would need to view and interact with the world without leaving their room. Sarge's Drone is added to the Court Record.
 * Location of the orb: Sarge cries about the loss of their parents.
 * Your mother: Sarge tells you of their mother's death, about 6 months ago. She protected them as they had to jump out of a burning building, cushioning their fall but dying in the process. The fire was believed to be arson.
 * Location of the orb: Sarge says that Dr. Buff had hidden the orb last night, and suspects it's somewhere in the village.
 * Doctor Buff: Sarge speaks about Dr. Buff and his past. He was a kind man who moved his child to the countryside after their mother's death caused them to become a shut-in.

Examine the green and yellow raincoat (is added to the Court Record), along with the red glasses on the table (is added to the Court Record).

Examine the shoe cubby next to the rain coat. Then select the straps of the shoe, which will open the inside a bit. Is there something in there? Select the green substance inside of the shoe (is added to the Court Record).

Examine the computer. Sarge will enter the password for you. You find an email report on the research Dr. Buff was doing on the orb. You save the e-mail on a flash drive, and it is added to the Court Record.

After asking Sarge, we're left to ask locals about where the glowing moss could of came from.

Move to Kurain Village

Kurain Village 3
Dhurke notices something different when you step out. Other than the new campaign posters, what's new here? Examine the canvas on the far right.

There's a drawing of the giant rock in the night time, with something yellow and green to the left of it.

Pearl Fey comes out and we share a short conversation. She reveals that Miles Edgeworth is also investigating another matter.

Talk with Pearl Fey:
 * Kurain Village: Pearl provides information about Kurain and Spirit Mediums.
 * Paul Atishon: Apparently people have been complaining about Paul campaigning! Although, they can't do much due to his family being so powerful.
 * Present Glowing Moss.
 * Where the doctor went: Dr. Buff went somewhere on Mt. Mitama. But Apollo's Bracelet is reacting, so she's hiding something.


 * Percieve Pearl. On the segment, "Mt. Mitama", look at her left hand.
 * Select the yellow and green thing on the left of the rock.
 * Present Raincoat

This opens up the last topic mentioned:
 * Where the doctor went: Pearl saw Dr. Buff last night, in a raincoat and a helmet with a light, even though it wasn't raining. When asked of his whereabouts, Pearl was told to keep quiet. The guess is that he went to a cave in Mt. Mitama, to see the hypothetical Mystic Ruins.

You're automatically brought to Mt. Mitama - Cave Entrance

Mt. Mitama - Cave
You arrive to the cave and notice the glowing moss, before entering the cave.

The cave is dark and you fall from a steep slope after answering some unknown voice.

Choose to Go forward when prompted. Then Forge ahead when prompted.

Dhurke asks about about his career, which, Apollo briefly goes over selective events in AJ and DD. ... When the cave's floor starts collapsing and Apollo blacks out.

You arrive to a moss covered place. Not to mention the footsteps. examine the footsteps, the box, the stone, the cave walls, the water, the plastic bottle, and the piece of drift wood.

Since you'll be here for a bit (and need that orb), you investigate the box. Select the sides and the top button.

This is a picture based lock. What can help us unlock this box? The Research Notes. The Song of Ceremony has complimenting pictures on the box. It goes in this order: The Founder's Orb has been... Found!
 * Dragon and Tiger
 * Butterfly with the mitamah
 * The right edge with people praying and the left edge of the Holy Mother Ascending (This should be in-between two of the dials/pictures)
 * Person gaining power from Holy Mother

Dhurke's motive was to return this to Kura'in and figure out who asked for Dr. Buff to study it.

Talk with Dhurke With this conversation, Dhurke says he wants to fix the law system in Kura'in and save Nahyuta.
 * The orb's significance: The orb was said to be stolen from Tehm'pul Temple treasure room by the Defiant Dragons. Dhurke believes it was one of the royals, since they have unfiltered access to the room.
 * Nahyuta: Nahyuta was apparently not always this way, being a rebel five years ago, yet has become loyal to royalty. We don't know why he became this way, but Dhurke believes he's suffering and believes that Nahyuta feels the same was as he did five years earlier.
 * Dhurke's Teachings: Expands upon perseverance of a Dragon.

Now we need to get out of this cave.

Dhurke goes off into the water to find an exit. Twenty minutes later, the place floods the water rises. Apollo panics, as he can't swim, so he has to examine his surroundings.

Examine the Driftwood, bottle, and the box.

The water rises again. Examine the hole you fell through. It's covered!

Apollo hyperventilates before slowly realizing he's coming to his death. He goes over an old memory of when Dhurke saved him and Nahyuta from a similar situation. Along with remembering how Dhurke abandoned him prior.

Apollo wakes up being saved by Dhurke. When he blacks out again...

Kurain Village 4
You wake up again in Kurain. You're alive!

Everyone enjoys a good meal together before being stopped by Atishon, the person who shoved you and Dhurke into the pit. Ema shows up, Dhurke gets accused for theft charges, Atishon wants the orb, now Phoenix Wright is here! Atishon asked Wright to be his lawyer, bringing him here.

Talk with Phoenix Wright: Select either choice.
 * Legal advisor: Atishon foresaw this event and hired Wright, whom had just finished his work in Kura'in. The two apparently know each other.
 * The Crystal of Ami Fey: Wright explains Atishon's assertion and more about the crystal, which was used by Ami Fey when she channeled spirits.

Welp, seems like we're facing Phoenix Wright, in court!
