Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box/Chapter 4: The Phantom Town of Folsense

After arriving at the town of Folsense, the run-down train station mysteriously transforms into a glamorous, sparkling building.

Exploring Folsense
Right at the plaza you should meet the postman from Dropstone. There are 3 hint coins at the station plaza, two located in the bulb of the middle and right streetlamps and one at the base of the left streetlamp. As soon as you try to move forward, Flora will start feeling a bit sick. Now you need to find a hotel for her to rest. In this new location, after finding 3 hint coins on 3 windows (one in blue Building and two in Red Building), tap on any of the building entrances to trigger Puzzle 061, which will give you the Dream Fluff tea ingredient after you solve it. At the hotel foyer, touch the leftmost and rightmost sides of the railing as well as the right plant for hint coins. Enter the room above the stairs to reach where Flora is now staying. In this room, touch the two bottles near the mirror, the doorknob at the back and lamp on the bedside table for hint coins. Check the flower vase on the table to trigger Puzzle 062. Layton will now deduce that the reason they fell asleep back on the train was because of the aroma of the roses, which means that someone intended to do it. Exit the hotel and return to the plaza. Talk to Rory there to hear about how Folsense had a gold rush in the past. Go back and continue forward into the Promenade. After hearing the conversation between Beluga and Sammy, you will receive the mystery, Beluga's Search. You will also find an old diary, which will be added to the trunk. It looks like you need to gather keys to unlock all of the diary entries, but the first entry is available for you to read.

Hidden at the Promenade are three hint coins, one at the base of the lamp post, the pole of the left street light and one of the barrels of the stall. Touch the left door to enter the antique shop. Inside, tap under the chair, the folding table and the umbrella stand for hint coins. Talk to Inspector Chelmey to find out that he is also here to find clues about the Elysian Box, though he isn't willing to cooperate with us. Talk to the shopkeeper, Dawson. He will tell you that 2 other people have came to him asking about the box, but he doesn't know anything about it. He suggests that you go to the Herzen Museum for more clues. He will also make a note about the diary you have and give you a Diary Key to unlock the second entry.

Go forward in this area. Of the three buildings at the back, the left one contains a hint coin in its chimney while the other two hides hint coins in their top windows. You might recognise the person standing in the middle of the plaza as Stachenscarfen, who will request you to serve the Belle Classic for him. He will also inform you that you can serve the teas you've made for some additional information. He will then leave and replaced by another person called Derby. If he happens to be thirsty, serve him a Belle Classic. If he's not, talking to him will trigger Puzzle 089. Solving this puzzle gives you the Peppercherry tea ingredient for your tea set. Now you can brew 2 new tea blend (Dream Spice and Cherry Boost) with it.

Move to the right and pick up hint coins on bottom right of the rightmost window, leftmost crack in sidewalk before the restaurant and on top of the bin left from photo studio. Now talk to Felix in front of the restaurant. Serve him the Dream Spice if he is thirsty, but if he is not, you can solve Puzzle 068, which will give you another Pet House hamster toy. Now you can bring your hamster down to level 1. Enter the photo studio and you will automatically trigger Puzzle 072, which will net you a Gear-Filled camera part, which should give you all the parts to complete the camera! Tap the lamp, the top right corner of the brown cabinet on the left and the top right corner of the green display on the left for hint coins. Talk with Joseph and leave the studio.

Climb up the stairs and, in this new area, touch the top window of the left red building, the sign on the right and next to the rightmost door for hint coins. Tap on Precious the bulldog to find that your path is blocked, so that you can only advance to the left, which leads to the entrance of Herzen Museum. Unfortunately, the gate to the museum is currently closed, but you can get hint coins by tapping the small rock in the left side of the road, the leftmost streetlight and the base of the rightmost streetlight. Tap the gate to find that you can't open it, so move to the left.

In this area, tap the left of the lowest step, the top of the right staircase and the base of the rightmost pillar for hint coins. If Narice is thirsty, talk to her and serve her the Dream Spice for information on ghost sightings. Talk to her when she isn't thirsty to get Puzzle 117. Move down to the entrance of the Cabaret, where you'll see a conversation between Beluga and the owner of the cabaret, Ilyana. Check the left plant, the middle street lamp and the trash can at the right for hint coins. Talk to Ilyana to trigger Puzzle 070, and talk to her again if she is thirsty and serve her an Oasis Berry. Move to the lower left to find another branch of Granny Riddleton's shack. You can now go here if you missed any puzzle, but more interestingly, if you have a fully-assembled camera, you can take a photo of this place to reveal a hidden puzzle, Puzzle 129. Check the left side of the chimney, the right streetlight and the eye on the ground for hint coins. Make your way back to the Promenade and talk to Joanie, the child. If she is thirsty, serve her the Oasis Berry, while if she's not, you can solve Puzzle 093. Now enter the antique shop and talk to Dawson to get Puzzle 063, which gives you a Surprise Box hamster toy. Now you can reduce hamster's level down to 0 and thus unlocking The Animal Lover's House. The hamster will from now on help you in finding hint coins. Return to the outside of the hotel and talk to Opal for some history of the town. Enter the hotel and talk to Krantz. Serve him the Cherry Boost if he is thirsty, and solve Puzzle 115 if he's not. Move down and talk to Rory again if he's not thirsty to solve Puzzle 060. Go all the way back to where Narice is, then take the upper-left path. In this area, check the rightmost window of the tower, the base of the lamp post and the top window of the second building from the right for hint coins. Talk to Olson for Puzzle 085. Enter the watchtower and tap the middle red mirror, the circle mirror on the left of the doorway and the tipped over bottle for hint coins. You can also take a picture of this area to find the hidden Puzzle 119. Climb the staircase to reach the top. Here, check the middle beam, the tipped over left bottle and the upright right bottle for hint coins. Talk to Geoff to trigger Puzzle 076. According to him, the whole town is in paranoia due to rumors about a vampire living in an old castle. The mystery The Vampire in the Castle will appear in the List.

The Herzen Museum
Exit the watchtower and enter the grocery store beside it. Talk to Garland to learn more about the vampire panic. Check the left barrel, the ring of meat and the open drawer for hint coins. Leave the store and go to the left to reach a run-down gateway. It appears to lead to nowhere important, but you can tap the rightmost spike on the gate, the grass at the base of the right pillar and the broken section of the gate wall for hint coins. Move right and up to meet Parcelle again, who will tell you that something connects Dropstone to Folsense. Check the left streetlight, the sign and the low roof at the right for hint coins. Make your way to the museum entrance to find that the gate is now open. Check the leftmost plant, the bottom-left crack on the path and the plant to the right of the fountain for hint coins. Tap on either Beluga and Sammy to learn that they are also searching for the Elysian Box, and considers everyone else doing the same thing, including us, an obstacle.

Walk forward to reach the door to the museum. Check the left side of the left plant, the grass at the base of the center pillar and the right lamp for hint coins. Talk to Gregorio for Puzzle 106. Return to the hotel lobby and talk to Inspector Chelmey. Layton thinks that the torn photo Chelmey took might contain something important, but it seems that the Inspector has a hole in the pocket! There is only one Photo Scrap remaining, and we need 15 more. You'll then have to solve Puzzle 110.

Professor Layton decides that the only way to get any clues is to find all the photo scraps, and he plans to investigate the path previously blocked by the bulldog. The next chapter will soon begin.
