Day Two: Investigation Mode (back to Phoenix)
Hotti Clinic
From now on, you will play as Phoenix again. Apparently he just read the case of the Valerie Hawthorne murder, as he did in the last episode. You return to the Hazakura Temple.
Dusky Bridge
Edgeworth informs you that the murder weapon isn't the Shichishito and is yet to be found. He leaves to look more into your client's past. Gumshoe will also leave. They are reconstructing the bridge so you can get to Maya ASAP.
Time to do some investigating. Move to the Main Gate.
Main Gate
You will see Larry, and Von Karma. Larry is adamant that he saw Iris flew. Larry will leave. Talk to von Karma about all topics. It just gives you a history of von Karma and what happened so far.
Move to the Main Hall.
Main Hall
Bikini looks very depressed. Elise dead, Iris a criminal, Maya stuck at the Inner Temple, and Pearl missing. Talk to Bikini:
Iris: Bikini was sure that she saw Iris pull the sword from Elise. But thanks to Larry, she isn't quite sure. Edgeworth saw no Psyche-Locks when Iris told him she wouldn't kill no one, and Larry thinks he saw Iris fly. You see no Psyche-Locks on Bikini, so you conclude that they didn't see what they think they saw.
Inner Temple: Bikini notes that the Inner Temple is just like an island. It is surrounded by nothing but river and canyon. So if a criminal were to run to the island and the bridge collapsed, he ould have to stay there. So, does that mean that Maya is probably stuck with the real killer!?
Elise Deauxnim: Just why did Elise came here in the first place? 5 Psyche-Locks appear, as Bikini doesn't want to say anything. It seems Elise was more than just a visitor.
Pearl: Bikini says that she never saw Pearl since dinner that night. The detective confirmed that she wasn't in her home. This brings in one more place she could be hiding. Hopefully Gumshoe finishes.
Move to the Courtyard
Courtyard
Nothing here. Look around if you want, but other than that, Move back to the Main Hall.
Main Hall (2)
Gumshoe arrives to tell you that he is finally done with the repairs to the bridge! Now you can go get Maya! Von Karma will arrive and will say she will help you on her investigation.
Move to the Inner Temple Gate! (accessible from Suspension Bridge)
Inner Temple Gate
Upon entering, you will find Pearl! It looks like she was here all along feeling all alone. When you ask Pearl if Maya is here, she will run off crying, blaming herself for something. What was that all about? Anyway, at least you know Pearl is alright, but what about Maya?
Before you could look for her, Examine the incinerator on the right. All of the snow is melted and it's open, but yesterday, it's entirely covered in snow! It looks like someone used it.
Move inside the Training Hall.
Training Hall
You don't see Maya anywhere, but you do see a Psyche-Lock at the back of the room what is it doing here?
Examine the lock first. Then Examine the scroll with Misty on it. It looks like someone put gravy on it. But, why? And it looks like the same gravy from that dinner on that night. The Hanging Scroll will be updated to the Court Record.
Just then, a surprise meets you. It's Godot! What's he doing here!? Was he here stuck with Pearl? Godot seems different today. He says you did something you can't undo Talk to Godot:
Why didn't you show?: Godot will say that he "died" once, and was revived by the magic of modern medicine. He was forced to wear his mask because he can't see. Godot presumes you know who and "killed" him and when. You do get a tug in your memory.
Can't undo?: Godot tells you that Maya isn't on this island. The search party hasn't search the cavern inside here, especially behind the bars the lock is guarding, where Maya is! Does that mean she is dead!? What's more is that Godot tells you that you let Maya die... just like you did to her older sister, Mia Fey!
Mia Fey: It looks like Godot has heard of Mia's death and how it happened. He blames you for taking her life, and now you have done the same thing to Maya!
Trick Lock: Godot says it isn't possible to break the lock yourself. He thinks the lock was set by Iris, who can open it too! Iris, the defendant!? Apparently accompanying nuns can use the locks to guard the acolyte. Godot will leave to call Iris (hopefully, before another earthquake strikes.)
Move to the Inner Temple Gate.
Inner Temple Gate (2)
You see Gumshoe here, who is pondering if he should "wash" something or not. He refers to the gate with the sign "No Entry" on it. Behind it is a garden. He tells you not to enter and leaves, as it is under investigation right now, but heck, check it anyways.
Move to the Garden, where Gumshoe is.
Garden
It looks like there is strange atmosphere here. What's that writing on the lantern? Gumshoe is here.
Take a look around, as usual. Examine the red thing in the snow. It looks like a charm. Gumshoe says it belonged to the victim! The broken cords around her neck matches the ones on the charm. This could be vital evidence. The Kurain Master's Talisman will be added to the Court Record. (Kurain Master's... it doesn't mean)
Now Examine the ground surrounding the stone lantern. It looks like the snow is cleared, and in good rectangular shape. Gumshoe says it was like that from the very beginning.
Finally, Examine a red spot on the wall. It looks like blood! It it says Maya upside-down!
Talk to Gumshoe:
The investigation: Gumshoe says they found nothing yet, it looks as clean as a whistle.
Maya: Gumshoe says that there was no where else where Maya disappeared besides the secret cavern. Edgeworth is escort Iris there, but, don't expect any good news from him.
Bloody writing: Gumshoe confirms that the blood was Elise's, and that she was the one that wrote it! Why is it upside-down? Gumshoe also says that here in the Inner Temple Garden is likely the real crime scene.
True crime scene: Didn't Bikini see the murder occur? If so, then was this set up? Von Karma and Gumshoe will say Dusky Bridge was out, so no one had no chance of going over it to the Inner Temple, and as Gumshoe was watching the whole time, no one else went through. What does this mean for Maya and Bikini's Testimony!?
You'll have to talk to Bikini about this. Move to the Main Gate.
Main Gate (2)
Iris and Edgeworth had finally arrived. As you expected, Edgeworth tell you that Maya is in a rather "delicate" position, so the place is being investigated, thus off limits to you, much to your dismay. Looks like you can't go back.
Move inside the Main Hall.
Main Hall (3)
Bikini still looks down, but you and von Karma encourage her. Present the Magatama.
Bikini's Psyche-Locks: Elise Deauxnim
You first met Elise and suspects she is more than just an author, but has great significance to this temple. Present the Kurain Master's Talisman. It is a talisman right, so it is obvious who Elise Deauxnim really is. When asked who, Present the Hanging Scroll. It has the obscured picture of Misty Fey on it, not only that, but the symbol on the talisman is the same one as the symbol on the scroll! This can only mean one conclusion.
Elise Deauxnim is actually the long lost Master of the Kurain Channeling School, Misty Fey!
5 Psyche-Locks Broken
Unlock Successful
Talk to Bikini about Elise Deauxnim. Bikini recognized her as Misty when she showed her the talisman. No one has seen her for twenty years, so why did she show up? Bikini will say that something happened that called her out of hiding.
Before Bikini could tell you what happened, an earthquake strikes! Then that means the temple could be collapsing! What does this mean for Maya!? And Edgeworth, he has a great fear of earthquakes! You'll have to check out the inner temple right away!
Quick, Move to the Main Gate!
Main Gate (3)
Edgeworth comes looking quite pale. When the earthquake hit, he passed out, and when he came to, Iris is gone! Before a manhunt is authorized, you decide to look for Iris anyways, as she isn't the type of person to leave the Inner Temple when an earthquake hit. You go to the Training Hall automatically.
Training Hall (2)
In here, you find something unexpected and irritating. Instead of 1 Psyche-Lock, there are 5!!! Iris will come in the room...
Investigation Mode: Part Two
Training Hall
You ask Iris to unlock the locks, but unfortunately, she says she can't. But how!? Edgeworth will take care of the investigation in the garden, while von Karma will look after Iris. Talk to Iris:
Escape: Iris says she did ran off, but when the earthquake hit, she was worried and came back. Here, she saw those five mysterious locks.
Trick lock: Iris says there are different ways to set up these locks. She promises to do what she can to solve them, though it will take some time, like a whole day or so! Can Maya survive that long.
The night of the crime: If she was spotted at the Inner Temple, yet Iris claims she was in her room, just where was she really? You ask her that question and what do you know, 3 Psyche-Locks.
Move to the Garden.
Garden
You will see the same prideful Edgeworth. Talk to him:
The investigation: Edgeworth suspects that this garden is getting more likely to be the true crime scene. And about Maya? She probably is the suspect.
Earthquakes: Just another mention of that case that occurred 17 years ago, nothing important really.
Iris: Edgeworth had a strange feeling he saw her face before. He checked all of records and he was right, he had seen her face six years ago. Edgeworth can't tell you who that woman is, because he is sure that she has nothing to do with this case. It looks like you'll have to find the evidence that proves otherwise.
Move to Heavenly Hall.
Heavenly Hall
You will see Pearl, along with Larry. It looks like they call the place the Loser's shack. You can understand Larry, but how is Pearl a loser? Talk to them:
Laurice's Sketch: Nothing important here, just why is Larry adamant that Iris flew?
The night of the crime: Pearl was supposed to be at the Main Temple, reading with Elise, but she was actually at the Inner Temple when the murder happened. You ask Pearl what happened, and she will bring 5 Psyche-Locks and the fact that her powers had disappeared. Disappeared?
Lost powers: Pearl seems hopeless without her powers, so it looks like she tried to channel someone. How can a medium with spiritual powers even stronger than Maya fail to channel someone?
Move to the Main Hall.
Main Hall
After telling Bikini the condition of the inner temple and the new problem with the locks, you ask her why exactly did Misty come here suddenly. Bikini will say that Misty proved that she was the Master, and told her that someone is trying to destroy the family line, and she is trying to stop it.
Talk to Bikini:
Kurain Channeling Technique: Nothing important here, just history with the people's connection to the technique.
DL-6 Incident: For those who didn't play the first game or can't quite remember what the case is about, here are the details. Misty was called in for a channeling session. She has used her powers to frame someone for murder. The man was found innocent, however and Misty was labeled as a fraud. Misty disappeared, not bearing the embarrassment she made to her family. You solved the case and found the real murderer 3 years ago, however, so everything is pretty much well in Kurain Village again.
Family feud: You'll find more about the feud and Morgan Fey, who tried once to get Maya away from the Master to get her daughter to be the one in the seat. Bikini notes on Morgan's daughter... no not Pearl, but Iris!
Morgan and Iris: Apparently, Bikini didn't know that Pearl was Morgan's daughter. She always thought she had two daughters, not three! And the third, Iris's twin sister! Iris had a twin sister!? Bikini said that the father of the twins left Morgan after she was thrown off the Master's position. Bikini can't exactly remember the name of Iris's twin, but she does know that her father was a jeweler.
What a twist! Let alone several! Move to the Courtyard.
Courtyard
You will find Gumshoe, who is searching for the real murder weapon. He finds a letter, but thinks it isn't important. Talk to Gumshoe:
The investigation: Gumshoe says there is nothing important found here, yet.
The letter: Gumshoe says it is just a burnt letter, which he found at the incinerator at the Inner Temple! Does that mean someone really did use the incinerator!? It also says something about spirit mediums and Master's, so it has to be important! The Burnt Letter will be added to the Court Record.
Check the Burnt Letter. It looks like instructions to channeling someone to earn the Master's position. The letter doesn't give any details, since they're all burnt out. Just who is channeling who?
Murder weapon: Well, since the Shichishito wasn't the murder weapon, as Edgeworth has proven yesterday, Gumshoe has been searching for the real one. Gumshoe says he has a "secret weapon" from the precinct.
Secret weapon: Since the murder weapon is a sword, Gumshoe has brought the metal detector (don't tell him it was obvious). He wants you to use it, say Play forensics expert.
Gumshoe will now tell you how the metal detector works. Just move the cursor until you find something, and press the Check gauge to look. You will now begin. Check the staff on the snow. It looks like something metal is inside it. After a few seconds of checking, you will find something stunning. There is a sword inside Elise's staff! Could this mean...
Talk to Gumshoe about the Muder weapon again. Gumshoe says no one hasn't known about this. It looks like there is no blood, but someone wiped it off, right? It is also the same length as the Shichishito, so it has to be the real murder weapon!
Gumshoe tries to go to forensics to get it analyzed for blood, but your concerns for Maya have you stop him. Gumshoe will give you the Victim's Staff, which will be updated to the Court Record.
Now, Move to the Garden.
Garden (2)
Present ??????'s Profile to Edgeworth. After telling Edgeworth that Iris had a twin sister, you finally hear the sister's name, Dahlia Hawthorne. Talk to Edgeworth:
Dahlia Hawthorne: As, you and Edgeworth discuss about the cases Mia took, you will learn why Edgeworth doesn't think Dahlia wasn't related to the case... Dahlia is dead!
Dahlia's death: About a month ago, six years after Mia convicted her, Dahlia was executed. Edgeworth thinks there is no way to revive the dead. That is why Dahlia had no connection to the case whatsoever, though you wonder.
You finally have Dahlia Hawthorne's Profile opened. You know what to do, Move to the Training Hall.
Training Hall (2)
You are now ready to take on Iris's Psyche-Locks. Do the usual, Present the Magatama:
Iris's Psyche-Locks: The Night of the Crime
Iris was indeed at her room at the temple, but someone claims to have seen her. Present Bikini's Profile. In her testimony yesterday, Bikini says she spoke with Iris last night about Maya's training, so it is no doubt that she was at the Inner Temple that night!
1 Psyche-Lock Broken
Iris will now say that she walked to the Inner Temple at 9:45. It takes about 20 minutes to go from the temple, to the Inner Temple. You know that's not possible. Present Iris's Testimony. She said that she was ringing the bells at 10:00PM, just like she was told to, afterwords, you met Iris, who gave you her hood! Iris's doesn't look like she remembers all of that.
1 Psyche-Lock Broken
You have now proven that Iris was at two places at the same time. Your explanation, say to Iris that there were two of you. Iris wants proof, Present Dahlia Hawthorne's Profile. Iris will remind you that her twin sister is dead. But you know that death doesn't stop her from being at the Kurain Training Grounds. It seems that someone has channeled Dahlia that night!
1 Psyche-Lock Broken
Unlock Successful
Talk to Iris:
The night of the crime: Iris says she knew all along that Dahlia was at the Inner Temple. The reason why Iris hasn't tell you this is because she didn't want to get in Dahlia's way. Iris had "betrayed" her once.
The traitor: Iris reveals that she was part of the plan to help Dahlia get away with the crime 11 years ago. However, she could bring herself to do everything, so she ran away, resulting in what you have seen what Dahlia has become 5 years ago. Iris will also reveal that it wasn't for the money, it was to get revenge on their father!
Revenge: Their father once threw off Morgan. Morgan was supposed to be the Master, which is why Iris's father married their mother. But after said mother's title was lost to Misty, her younger sister, and Misty's mistake at the DL-6 Incident. The man decide he had no place here after all and decided to leave Morgan and took his two daughters, leaving an emotional blow to Morgan. He then married another woman, who had already had a daughter, Valerie. He decided that two girls are enough and kicked Iris out of the family.
You ask Iris about a certain collage student Dahlia tried to kill. (You, obviously) Iris says that her sister told her that she "hated his guts".
You decide to continue your investigation. You only have one more set of Psyche-Locks to break, Pearl's.
Move to the Heavenly Hall.
Heavenly Hall (2)
Just do the usual, (Present the Magatama) and you will began the last Psyche-Lock challenge of the game:
Pearl's Psyche-Locks: The Night of the Crime
Pearl will admit that she was somewhere else when she was supposed to be with Elise. (Misty) It was because she was worried. You will check the map, Present the Inner Temple. After the murder happened, you found Pearl at the Inner Temple since the bridge collapsed around the same time. Pearl will like to know what or who she was worried about, Present Maya Fey's Profile. When Bikini's comments about the possibility of death from the training, Pearl couldn't help but worry for her cousin, so she had no choice.
1 Psyche-Lock Broken
Pearl will say she arrived at the Inner Temple after 10:00PM, so she heard the bell along the way. She was very worried when she heard it. Present the Burnt Letter. She was following the instructions of the letter. It looks like Pearl recognizes it.
1 Psyche-Lock Broken
Pearl was given the instructions to channel a certain person. When asked who, Present Dahlia Hawthorne's Profile.
1 Psyche-Lock Broken
You will now show to Pearl who wrote to her. Present Morgan Fey's Profile. It is quite obvious isn't it, as Pearl followed it even though she didn't know what it means.
1 Psyche-Lock Broken
Pearl sounds like you have her cornered, but she will remind you that she can't read well as a child. She wants you to show proof that she followed the instructions. Occasionally instructions were made for adults, so you have to prove to a child that she misunderstood some words. Present the Hanging Scroll. The instructions told Pearl to "gravely roast" the poster, but Pearl doesn't really know what the words "gravely" and "roast" mean. That is why Elise (Misty) "helped" Pearl "learn" what the words are. Pearl thought "gravely" meant "gravy" and "roast" was some sort of food. That is why she spilled gravy all over the poster, because she didn't read the words correctly!
1 Psyche-Lock Broken
Unlock Successful
Talk to Pearl:
The night of the crime: Pearl will admit she went to the Inner Temple, with a pot full of gravy. She didn't want to interrupt Maya's training, so she went somewhere else and stayed there. Pearl fell asleep and woke up to find the bridge collapsed. She thought everyone left her behind and started crying. She put the letter in the incinerator and spilled the gravy all over the poster.
Lost powers: Pearl tired many times but couldn't channel Dahlia's spirit. Her theory is that someone else could be channeling her spirit. Pearl is very spirituallty powerful, so who was channeling Dahlia at the time of the murder? Pearl will say it wa her mother's final wish.
Morgan's Letter: Pearl say that her mother told her to go to her house. That's where the letter was. When Pearl found it, it looked like someone else had opened it. The Burnt Letter will be added to the Court Record.
Just then, Godot comes, again taunting you for not protecting Maya. Is Maya really dead? Maybe tomorrow in court, you will find the truth somehow, solve mysteries and twists and ultimately, find the truth and confirm Maya's safety. And maybe you could perhaps talk some sense into Godot, and maybe find out what his deal is with you and Mia's death.
We then see Morgan, again awaiting excitedly for Pearl's time to come. Let's hope you delay that time even longer.
This concludes the final investigation day of the game. You will now do the rest in court tomorrow.
