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[edit]

Second level, and this is still very easy. If before everyone but L was throwing wild accusations, here everyone but Kira is lowering doubt and raising trust, so if someone is accusing others at random, you can either go for them straight away, or spend the first round raising trust and lowering doubts yourself, check if they're Kira or not in the first voting phase, and after confirming, raise their doubt until they're voted out.

In order to obtain the apple in this level you need to keep Matsuda's doubt at 0 and then arrest Kira. This should be fairly easy, two 20 point doubt decreases should be enough at the start, and then just deflect whatever accusations come his way. Unless he's actually Kira. He can still get voted off even at 0 doubt though so if he's Kira just make sure to keep everyone's doubts low and pray his wild accusations condemn him eventually.

Episode 3: Contact[edit]

Third chapter, and here things are just slightly harder. Identifying L isn't as simple because now there's the chance other investigators that aren't L try to raise trust and lower doubts as well. However, L is the only one who does so consistently, so if the first lap passes and 3 suspects raised trust, and in the next only 1 did so, chances are that's the real L. If you want some more safety, it only takes 2 turns to raise Ryuzaki's trust to 100 and get some info on who could be L to further help you out.

In order to obtain the apple in this chapter, you'll need to kill L on the very first round, and since arresting him won't give you the apple this means once you think you identified L you have to either act as his security and deflect all accusations towards him or throw wild accusations at someone else so he doesn't get arrested. After all that you write your suspect's name in the death note and pray you got the right guy.

Episode 4: Tracking[edit]

This chapter you may have multiple suspects throwing random accusations, but just like before only Kira will keep throwing random accusations, so spend a turn or two lowering doubts and then you'll have a pretty good idea of who is really Kira.

And if you want to obtain the apple on this chapter, you won't be able to confirm those suspicions. You need to arrest Kira on the very first voting phase, meaning you have 3 turns to identify, accuse and vote out Kira. Raise trust and lower doubts until you find someone who is consistently accusing at random, and then go after them relentlessly and counter any defense their followers try to make. With a bit of luck, Kira will be voted off before he can even think about using the Death Note.

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.

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.

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[edit]

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.
