The Elysian Box[edit]

PLPB Mystery 01.png

"The Elysian Box is an antique said to bring death upon anyone who dares open its lid. According to rumours, the box has already claimed many lives and is known as "Pandora's Box" in many parts of the world. Could such dark rumours be true?"

"It turns out that the Elysian Box was crafted 50 years ago to carry a letter from Anton to his love, Sophia. A gas present in the material used to make the box causes hallucinations in those who open it. These visions are how the rumour of a curse began."

A Ticket with No Destination[edit]

"A single ticket with no visible destination was discovered in Dr Schrader's home. It appears to be for the Molentary Express, but where exactly is it supposed to take its bearer?"

PLatCV Layton Solved.png Solved

"The ticket was for Folsense, a destination accessible only to those riding in a particular carriage on the Molentary Express. It would seem that Dr. Schrader must have visited Folsense sometime before his murder."

The Torn Photograph[edit]

"Torn fragments of a photograph were found in the late doctor's hand. In its current state, it's impossible to make out the contents of the photo. What could it be depicting?"

PLatCV Layton Solved.png Solved

"When reconstructed, the photograph depicts the Elysian Box. On the lid of the bos is an omnous-looking goat, which seems appropriate, given the box's sinister reputation."

The Box's Whereabouts[edit]

PLPB Mystery 04.png

"Somebody managed to steal the Elysian Box from Dr. Schrader's home without leaving behind a single implicating clue. Who could have made off with the box?"

PLatCV Layton Solved.png Solved

"The villain who made off with the Elysian Box was none other than Don Paolo, brilliant scientist and Professor Layton's self-proclaimed nemesis. To find riches associated with the antique, he disguised himself as Flora and tailed Layton and Luke."

Tom's Disappearance[edit]

PLPB Mystery 05.png

"While riding on the Molentary Express, Babette's little boy, Tom, manages to disappear. If the shoe he left behind is any indication, Tom must be a very young child. Where could a child that small have wandered off to on his own?"

PLatCV Layton Solved.png Solved

"It turns out that Tom isn't a child, as was originally though, but rather Babette's pet dog. It would seem that Babette's affection for Tom is so deep that she considers him to be much more than just a pet."

Katia[edit]

PLPB Mystery 06.png

"Katia is the only daughter of Dropstone's most influential man, M. Anderson, and has boarded the Molentary Express. Several villagers came to see her off, yet she travels alone. Where is Katia headed, and why is she making the journey there by herself?"

PLatCV Layton Solved.png Solved

"Katia is Sophia and Anton's granddaughter. Katia set out alone for Folsense to solve a 50-year-old misunderstanding."

The Dilapidated Station[edit]

PLPB Mystery 07.png

" Minutes after Professor Layton, Luke and Flora's arrival in Folsense, the run-down train transforms into a gleaming, ornately decorated building right before their eyes. What caused the sudden change to the station's appearance"

PLatCV Layton Solved.png Solved

"The hallucinogenic gas present in Folsense's air caused Layton and the others to imagine the station as the gleaming edifice displayed in the many photographs lining the walls of the building."

Beluga's Search[edit]

PLPB Mystery 08.png

"Beluga seems to be working Sammy like a dog, sending him all over town in a frantic search for some unknown item. It's unclear why Beluga would set up a secret train line connected to Folsense, but it's clear this item is very important to him. What could it be?"

PLatCV Layton Solved.png Solved

"Beluga was searching for the Elysian Box, which he believed contained clues regarding the vast Herzen family fortune. As a member of the Herzen family, he felt entitled to any family riches, though some people in Folsense strongly objected to his claims."

The Vampire in the Castle[edit]

PLPB Mystery 09.png

"Rumours have surfaced regarding a vampire said to live in the castle at the edge of town. Terrified by such talk, not a soul in Folsense dares to go near the castle. Could a vampire actually be living up in Herzen Castle? "

PLatCV Layton Solved.png Solved

"Anton invented the whole vampire to scare off those who would try to loot the Herzen fortune. He did this by whisking away all those who came too close to the castle and setting them free to run away once properly scared."

The Goat Emblem[edit]

PLPB Mystery 10.png

"A large, ominous symbol in the shape of the goat's head decorates the top of the Elysian Box. This same symbol can be spotted in the town of Folsense. What connection exists between the box and the town?"

PLatCV Layton Solved.png Solved

"The symbol is actually a crest belonging to the Herzen family, who once rules over Folsense. It's clear that the Herzen family and the Elysian Box are deeply connected."
