Death Note: Kira Game/Walkthrough

The following walkthrough should provide you with objectives for each episode and optional objectives for each episode along with how many apples you can earn from each episode.

Episode 1: Rebirth
The first game. Shouldn't give you too much trouble, all you have to do is get L arrested or kill him before he arrests you. To get some quick information you can raise your trust with Soichiro to 100 in 2 turns so he tells you who could be or isn't L. Additionally, most investigators will be throwing wild accusations every way, except L, who will be trying to raise trust and lower suspicions, so you can probably identify him on your own. In order to get an apple in this chapter you have to win before 3 rounds pass, so if you are in the third round and L hasn't been killed/arrested yet, pull out the death note and try to guess who is L.

Episode 2: Sweet Tooth
Alright, things are still pretty easy so don't worry. If before everyone but L was throwing random accusations, here Kira will be the only one throwing accusations at random, so just keep suspicions low, build your allies and after you confirm who's Kira after the first voting phase just focus them until they get arrested. For the apple, you have to make sure Matsuda's doubt is 0, which unless he's Kira should be pretty easy to get by just lowering his doubt yourself at the start and then deflecting whatever accusations go his way. And if he is Kira, well, pray he gets voted out anyways.

Episode 3: Contact
Now you're Raye Penber, FBI agent. If you play normally, then this is a pretty easy chapter, just get a couple allies, look for L and kill him/arrest him. But if you try to get the apple, you need to kill him in the first voting phase, so increase Ryuzaki's trust with you to 100 to get some info and then make sure to keep the doubt of who you think L is low so he isn't arrested and you kill him yourself. Still, you should be able to get it.

Episode 4: Tracking
And now you're playing as Naomi Misora in the L role. Alright, playing normally is still easy, but getting the apple, not so much. You need to arrest Kira on the first voting phase, so start by just increasing trust with someone and use your last two turns to accuse as much as you can whoever you think is Kira, there is no time to confirm your suspicion, you just have to be swift, brutal and trust your instincts. Hopefully your fellow investigators vote them out as well.

Episode 5: Decay
Episode 5 is the first episode where two apples will be obtainable, thus giving you two extra objectives. This time you'll be playing as the father of Light Yagami, Soichiro Yagami. Find out the identity of L to clear the objective and move the story on. For the first apple, clear the objective with Aizawa and Matsuda having their full 100% confidence in you. For the second apple, you'll have to play through the investigation a second time, this time as Soichiro's son, Light Yagami. His objective is to title a Kira. To get the second apple, identify L the first time.

Episode 6: Love
For the first play-through, you'll be playing as the second Kira, Misa Amane. Find out who L is to clear the main objective. For the first apple, your goal will be to have 100% confidence with Sayu and Soichiro. This mission shouldn't be too hard - you should be able to get it on your first try. For the second play-through, you'll be able to play as Kiyomi Takada, Light's ex-girlfriend. This time, your goal will be to title a Kira. Let nobody be suspicious about you and get Light and Misa's suspicion level at 100 and you can get the second apple.

Episode 7: Watch
Here you will switch back to Light for the first investigation. The main objective to clear here is to title a Kira and get them arrested. To get the first apple, get arrested during the first three rounds by getting everyone to suspect you as Kira. Do this by letting your words and actions stand out. Make yourself vulnerable to the accusations. For the second investigation, you'll be in control of L again. Label someone L and the investigation will be clear. To complete the episode by getting the second apple, have the full 100% confidence of Soichiro. Do this by first finding your target and then trying to gain Soichiro's suspicions. Doing the second first can get your backing on the wrong target, which will only make him suspect you.

Episode 8: Infiltration
The number of suspects here has noticeably gone down, but that doesn't mean it's going to be any easier - there are less people to single out, but the suspects will be much more careful with their decisions. For the first time, you'll be playing as Matsuda, the young and naive detective on the Kira Investigation Team lead by L. All you'll have to do for the apple here is clear the objective with no suspicions aimed toward you. The second time, you'll be playing as Misa. For the second apple, avoid getting two votes from the other investigators. Do this by putting getting Soichiro's and Matsuda's confidence up instead of Light's, as they will have less confidence in you to start out with.

Episode 9: Meeting
Here, you will first play as the Watari. The first objective is to target Kira. For the apple, have each person from the Yotsuba group have at least 50 trust on you before Kira is arrested. For the second investigation as Misa, the main objective will be to title a L while in the 100 confidence stage. For the second apple, get the Kira arrested while your suspicion level is 0.

Episode 10: End
As Matsuda, title an L to win. Obtain the first apple by having at least 50 confidence from everyone before naming an L. As Light, name a Kira for a victory and for the second apple arrest Kira on the first try.

Episode 11: Divine Kira
Clear Episode 11 as L by labeling someone Kira. Obtain the apple by arresting first the helper before Kira. Clear Episode 11 as Neo Light by titling someone L. Obtain the apple by killing L at the first round.

Episode 12: L's Successors
Episode 12 is the bonus episode that moves into an alternate ending where L wins against Kira. This is the first time you'll use Neo Light. The first objective is to find the identity of L. To obtain the apple, have the target worship you but don't arrest them. As L, clear your first objective by finding the one labeled Kira. To obtain the final apple, simply find the target in time for the first voting session.
