Introduction
==================================
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials & Tribulations is the final game
in the so-called "Phoenix Trilogy" of the Ace Attorney series, otherwise
known as the "Gyakuten Saiban" series in Japan (this game is known as
Gyakuten Saiban 3 in Japan). It is an adventure game chronicaling the
life and times of defense attorney Phoenix Wright as he tries to prove
his clients' innocence in a world where no one else believes them.
Like the games from the last two years, the US version of the game
hasn't been released at the time of writing, but the Japanese version
was released with a full English translation. This guide is written
using the English version, thus it will use the localized names
instead of the Japanese ones.
You may have noticed that this guide was started on the exact same
date as the release date in Japan. The reason for this is that my
import copy of the game came early. I urge you, however, to buy the
game when it hits stores in the US this October.

==================================
Getting Started
==================================
If you want to play the game in English, press the brown box on the
bottom of the touch screen to switch from Japanese to English. This
MUST be done using the stylus!
The touch screen is where all the decisions are laid out. Going to the
next statement in a witness' testimony, heading to another location
during investigation, it's all there!
The top screen is where you'll see the events unfold. You'll see
arguments between the defense and the prosecution here, as well as
finding out more pieces of information from dialouge.
The Court Record is where you'll store that information. Everything in
the case is there, including involved people. To switch from viewing
evidence to viewing profiles and vice-versa, press the R button, or use
the stylus on the top right corner of the touch screen.
During Investigation phases, you'll get your chance to explore and
prepare for court. You can also talk to other people, whether they be
the defendant of a witness for the prosecution.
Returning from the last game are Psyche-Locks. Basically, when someone
has a secret to hide, you'll see it in the form of locks. The stronger
the secret is, the more locks that will appear (if you're wondering,
the maximum is 5 locks total). Presenting an item called the Magatama
will begin a process where you'll present pieces of evidence to counter
the person's story and, in the process, unlock their secrets.
The courtroom is where most of the action takes place. Here, you'll
cross-examine a witness' testimony to find faults in them. In doing do,
you'll help clear your client's name. However, like in the last game,
you have a health bar. When the bar is empty, the Judge will pronounce
your client guilty and you'll have to start from you last saved point.
The only way to refill your health bar is to unlock the Psyche-Locks.
==================================
Characters
==================================
Phoenix Wright: The defender of truth, justice, and the American way...
waitasec, that's Superman, not Phoenix! Well, anyways, Phoenix is the
main protagonist of the game. However, he's not the ONLY attorney you'll
be playing as.
Mia Fey: Only playable in two flashback cases, Mia Fey is Phoenix's
deceased friend and mentor. Through either Maya Fey or Pearl Fey, Mia
can still assist Phoenix whenever he needs the help.
Miles Edgeworth: Only playable during a segment of Case 5, Miles
Edgeworth is one of Phoenix's old childhood friends, and is quite a
popular guy amongst the fandom. He has met Mia before her death,
however...
Godot: A literal enigma, and Phoenix's prosecuting rival this time
around. Coffee-addict, ladies' man, genius, he's also quite popular in
the fandom (though I can't tell who has more popularity, Edgeworth or
Godot).
Maya Fey: Phoenix's assistant and spirit medium. She's also the
daughter of the Master of the Kurain Channeling Technique. Like always,
Maya plays quite the pivotal role.
Pearl Fey: Also known as Pearly or Pearls, Pearl is Maya Fey's cousin,
as well as a channeling genius. She is so talented, her mother would do
anything to make her the next Master...
Dick Gumshoe: A detective for the police department. He's not the
sharpest tool in the shed, though. He's also had the opportunity to
meet Mia...
Winston Payne: AKA the "Rookie Crusher." He's got a superior attitude,
but that fades when he faces off against a skilled attorney. Yes, he's
also had the chance to meet Mia...
Dahlia Hawthorne: She may look sweet, but Dahlia is actually a demoness
in reality. She also holds the key to understanding all of the mysteries
concerning Phoenix's past.
==================================
DA WALKTHROUGH!!!
==================================
Case 1: Turnabout Memories [TURNMEM]
------------------------------------
:DAY 1 " TRIAL, PART 1:
This case is Mia's second trial. In it, she's set to defend a young
Phoenix Wright from the charge of murder. Again, this is an introductory
case, so that newer players will learn the ropes sooner. Phoenix has a
cold and coughs constantly (this fact will be crucial later!). Mia
doesn't really have a chance to talk to him as court begins.
Well, Payne is looking... different than usual. Anyways, in his opening
statement, Payne states that the name of the victim was Doug Swallows, a
pharmacology student at Ivy University. As the students saw the scene,
they spotted the defendant, who, according to Payne, had obviously
bungled his getaway. Payne then presents a photo of the crime scene,
which shows Doug on the ground, but no weapon. Crime Photo 1 added to
the court record. Payne also states that the victim died in an unusual
way and challenges the defense to state what the cause of death was.
Mia will stumble a bit, and that's when Grossberg will give her a push
in the right direction: check the court record! It says in the victim's
autopsy report that the cause of death was electrocution. The judge
will then ask the defense what the cause of death was. We just checked
it, so answer that it was "electrocution". Payne will congrate her, and
will state that the victim and defendant had some bad blood between
them. The judge will ask the defense what the source of the bad blood
between them was. Present Dahlia Hawthorne's profile. She was the
victim's boyfriend until about 8 months ago; then she started seeing
the defendant, Phoenix Wright.
Payne will now call his first witness: Phoenix Wright, the defendant
himself! Mia has no objections, so Phoenix will start his testimony.
PHOENIX WRIGHT'S FIRST TESTIMONY: THE VICTIM AND I
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-Um, I... I admit I was there...
-But I'm not a killer! All I did was find his body!
-I hardly knew the guy to begin with...
-I never even talked to that stuck-up British wannabe!
Well, nothing sticks out at the moment, so the only thing that we can
do is press him. That "British wannabe" comment is a little strange
though. Press that statement. The following will then be added to his
testimony:
-He was always walking around with a huge Union Jack on the back of his
shirt.
NOW things are getting interesting. How would Phoenix know that the
victim wore a Union Jack if he's wearing a jacket? Present Crime Photo 1
to counter this statement. Phoenix will tearfully admit that he was
lying. This might not be good, however. Payne will present a bottle of
Coldkiller X. It turns out that it's Phoenix's missing cold medicine,
and naturally has his fingerprints all over it. Payne then produces a
second photo that shows that the bottle was found in the victim's hand!
Talk about your incriminating evidence! Coldkiller X and Crime Photo 2
added to the court record. Phoenix will now testify about what really
happened.
PHOENIX WRIGHT'S SECOND TESTIMONY: WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-The truth is... I went because he called me.
-He was in the Pharmacology Dept., so we agreed to meet at 2:45 behind
that building.
-We talked for a bit, and then at around 3:00, we split up.
-Then later, when I went back, I found him lying there.
-I'd been taking Coldkiller X for the last 2 or 3 days.
-But I lost my bottle of it around lunchtime on the day of the accident.
Press the first statement, then press the second and ask about the
department itself, and finally, press the last one. It turns out that
Doug called Phoenix to the building to talk about Dahlia. Both of them
arrived on time. The building itself uses non-standard high-voltage
electricity in their expirements. Before they met, however, Phoenix had
lunch with Dahlia (this is important, so remember it!).
After this sequence, the Judge will stop the questioning, and will ask
what the murder weapon was. Choose to "establish murder method", then
present Crime Photo 1. The judge will then request that the defense
point out where the weapon is in the photo. Point to the dangling
electrical wire. Payne, however, will point out that the only person
that could have used the wire was the defendant. Not good! To add
insult to injury, Payne says that the defendant's fingerprints were
found on the victim's body as well! Payne claims that the defendant
pushed the victim to his death! Definitely not good!
Just before the judge can announce the verdict, Mia holds him up! She
urges Phoenix to testify again, to tell the truth. She also tells him
that she believes in his innocence. Payne tries to stop them, but
Phoenix agrees to testify once more.
PHOENIX WRIGHT'S FINAL TESTIMONY: WHEN I PUSHED THE VICTIM
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-That guy... he was talking bad about Dollie...
-I lost my temper and gave him a shove!
-At that moment, I heard some kind of loud noise...
-A little while after I left, I started to get worried.
-So I went back. But h-he was just lying there, d-dead!
Press the third statement, the one about a loud noise. "Ask for more
details." The judge will state it's not relevant. State "Of course it's
important!" The following will then be added to the testimony:
-After I shoved him, he... he fell down on top of his umbrella.
This is what we've been waiting for! Present Crime Photo 1. The
umbrella was by the electrical pole, so the victim must have been
there as well. According to the photo, however, he moved! There can
only be one conclusion: when the defendant pushed him, the victim was
not electrocuted! In other words, he was not yet dead! The judge then
orders Payne to submit the umbrella as evidence, which he does.
Phoenix's Testimony is also entered into the court record. It may look
like Mia's done it, but Payne starts to chuckle. He's not done yet!
Mia quickly guesses that he has another witness, which he confirms:
it's Dahlia Hawthorne, the defendant's boyfriend! The judge orders a
recess while the prosecution prepares their next witness.
In the defendant lobby, Phoenix explains that he and Dahlia met in the
courthouse's refrence room. He says it was love at first sight, and he
was given a pendant, which is entered into the court record. It turns
out that Dahlia is very shy, and she always said the same thing: "Please
give it back now." Huh, that's odd. She gave it to him as a gift after
all. Mia then shocks Phoenix with the date of their meeting: August
27th. She tells him that a murder happened in the courthouse on that
date. Grossberg finally understands why Mia took on the case so
suddenly. The newspaper clipping will be added to the court record,
and Grossberg will be gone for quite a while, as he'll be in the
refrence room. Save your game.
:DAY 1 " TRIAL, PART 2:
When Dahlia enters the courtroom, she immediately gets on the judge's
good side. Dahlia is a literary student at Ivy U. She saw the whole
incident, but she says that her Feenie would never do something so
awful. Uh... What did she just say? Anyways, she begins her testimony
of the events on that day.
DAHLIA HAWTHORNE'S FIRST TESTIMONY: WHAT I WITNESSED
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-I had been planning to go back to Feenie's place once class was over.
-Feenie and Dougie... they were talking behind the building.
-Then suddenly... Dougie got all wobbly and just collapsed.
-That's when Feenie noticed I was there.
-I went to go find some other students, and they called the authorities.
The victim just collapsed, eh? That's one fishy statement alright.
Press that statement. Then, "show contradiction" when given the chance.
Mia will then point out that Phoenix confessed to pushing the victim.
Dahlia will then replace statements 3 and 4 of her testimony with
these new ones:
-Um, actually, I didn't see the moment he pushed Dougie.
-It didn't look like they were fighting, and I didn't hear any noise
either.
No noise, eh? That is a definite contradiction. Present Phoenix's
Testimony to show that there indeed was a noise. Dahlia will counter by
saying that she was wearing headphones because she was afraid of the
thunder. Time to turn things around! As we all hopefully know, lightning
is actually a discharge of electric particles. Maybe the "murder" was
an accident, and the victim was killed by a stray bolt! So answer
"there was lightning" when given the chance. Unfortunately, Payne is
all over this one. According to a report of the weather conditions that
day, no bolt struck that area! Furthermore, the lab lost power at around
2:50 PM that day, because one of the wires snapped. Payne has an
affidavit from the lab students to confirm the new information, which
he submits as evidence.
The judge, however, says that the wire couldn't have snapped if
something or someone didn't bump into it. When he asks the defense for
their theory as to how the wire snapped, present Phoenix's profile.
After all, Phoenix shoved the victim. What's to say that the impact the
victim made against the pole didn't break the wire? Since that pole is
far away from the wire, the victim couldn't have died when he crashed
into it! Dahlia will now testify as to the truth of what she saw.
DAHLIA HAWTHORNE'S SECOND TESTIMONY: WHAT I WITNESSED, PART 2
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-The truth is... Feenie pushed him twice.
-The first time was into the electrical pole. That's when the cable
broke.
-Then Dougie tried his best to run away from him...
-But Feenie caught up and crashed into him from behind.
-The cable snapping and Dougie being electrocuted -- it all occured in
less than a minute.
Somehow, I very much doubt that all this occured in less than a minute.
Look at Crime Scene Photo 2. The watch stopped at around 3:05. The loss
of power in the lab occured at 2:55. Do you see it yet? There's a
10-minute gap between the power loss and the electrocution, a gap that
may have been used by the real murderer! So, present Crime Photo 2 at
Dahlia's last statement. Payne demands that the defense propose who the
real murderer is. Let's look at this. Other than the victim and the
defendant, only one person was at the scene during that 10-minute
interval. It shouldn't be difficult. Present Dahlia's profile. SHE is
the real murderer!
Phoenix will then jump in and demand that what Mia has just stated be
struck from the record. The judge doesn't buy it and has the bailiff
drag him back to his chair. Grossberg returns with the file he was
looking for. It describes the incident in the courthouse. The victim,
Defense Attorney Diego Armando (THIS NAME IS IMPORTANT!!!) was poisoned
in the courthouse's cafeteria. The prime suspect of that incident was
Dahlia Hawthorne. She was let free, however, because there wasn't any
evidence that she had poisoned him. This report will be added to the
court record. Mia then requests that Dahlia testify about how she met
the defendant. Dahlia has no choice but to comply.
DAHLIA HAWTHORNE'S THIRD TESTIMONY: HOW I MET MY FEENIE
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-I first met my darling Feenie eight months ago.
-It's like we were destined to meet in this very courthouse's basement
reading room.
-The moment our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat!
-We've been going out ever since that fateful day.
Why would Dahlia have been down there? She doesn't seem to have any
interest in the law. Press the statement about the reading room, then
choose to "keep pressing." Dahlia will now revise her testimony.
-I had to come to this courthouse to do some research for a paper I was
writing.
What a crock! Present the Police Report to counter this statement.
Everyone will be shocked when they learn that Dahlia was the prime
suspect in that case. Dahlia will testify further as to the incident.
DAHLIA HAWTHORNE'S FINAL TESTIMONY: THE POISONING
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-I met the lawyer who was poisoned to discuss something in the
cafeteria that day.
-I left my seat for just a moment, and that's when it happened!
-From what I heard it was a liquid poison that is lethal at just two
teaspoons.
-Not only that, I heard it was a very special kind of poison.
-So you see, I'm innocent! I wouldn't even know where to get a poison
like that!
That's a pretty blatant lie. Present Doug's profile. He was a
pharmocology student, as well as Dahlia's ex-boyfriend. She had plenty
of chances to steal any poison she liked! Dahlia, however, counters
with the fact that the container used to carry the poison was never
found. If you've been following along so far, you may know what
happened to it. Present Phoenix's profile. Dahlia knew she would be
searched, so she passed off the container of poison--as a gift--to
someone totally unrelated to the incident: Phoenix Wright. Before Mia
can drive her point home, Phoenix jumps up and objects! Phoenix is
madly in love with her, so tell him that the reason that she's dating
him is "because of that necklace." She wants it back. And why? Because
it's a crucial piece of evidence! Phoenix won't hear anymore, so he
attacks Mia and takes the pendant!
He's caught and grilled by the court, and under the pressure, confesses
that he ate it. WHAT!?!? HE ATE IT!?!? Stop the trial, get the man to a
hospital! Payne, however, points out that Phoenix is fine! There must
have been no poison! Mia continues to persist, and that's when Phoenix
tells the court that the reason the victim called him out was to warn
him. Eight months ago, someone stole some chemicals from him and it had
happened to him again the night before. Phoenix also saw Dahlia at the
crime scene, but swore he would not divulge that piece of information.
The defense comes to the conclusion that Dahlia was after another
person's life, so present Phoenix's profile. Since he never gave up the
pendant, she thought that this was the only way to get it back. Dahlia
denies this, and states that the defense has no evidence that she
poisoned anything. As Dahlia tries to leave, Mia stops her.
Mia bluffs that she does indeed have evidence to show. Since it's near
the end of the trial, the judge will allow only one piece of evidence.
Remember the bottle of Coldkiller X? It was stolen from Phoenix around
lunchtime that day. Who had lunch with him? Dahlia Hawthorne. It's
possible that she stole the bottle and poisoned it! It's all or
nothing, so present the bottle of Coldkiller X. Dahlia states that
that's preposterous, so Mia challenges her to take a pill. Dahlia
instead gets infuriated and admits that she killed the victim to keep
him quiet. Furthermore, she was the one who put the bottle in the
victim's hand to both get rid of incriminating evidence, and to
implicate the defendant. She's hauled off, and Payne loses his hair
from shock. The judge's verdict? Not Guilty.
Mia promises to meet with Phoenix again, since he's also studying to be
a lawyer.
POV switches to Phoenix. He states that this case brings up painful
memories, cherished images, and thoughts that he never expected to rise
to the surface again. But that is a story for another time. Save your
game.
Case 2: The Stolen Turnabout [TURNSTOL]
---------------------------------------
:DAY 1 " INVESTIGATION:
We start the investigation phase as Maya tells Phoenix that there's
going to be an exhibit at the department store, Lordly Tailor. It's not
just any old exhibit though. It's the "Treasures of Kurain" exhibit! So,
the announcement poster will be added to the court record. You'll
automatically move to Lordly Tailor's "Main Exhibition Hall". From
there, move to the "Basement Warehouse".
It's Adrian Andrews! You'll know her quite well if you played the last
game. Talk to her about "Adrian Andrews" and "Lordly Tailor". It seems
that she quit her job as a manager and headed over to Lordy Tailor as
the organizer of special events, such as the "Treasures of Kurain"
exhibit. Some of the items sent from Kurain Village are stored behind
that big door for safekeeping. As such, Phoenix and the gang can't go
in there. Next, examine the golden statue of Ami Fey and you'll learn
that the golden statue came from one of the mountain training halls.
The statue itself will be added to the court record. The statue is also
holding a green sword, which Phoenix learns is the Shichishito, or
Seven-Branch Sword in Japanese. Phoenix and co. then head up to the
12th floor to have dinner; Adrian already made the reservations.
:DAY 2 " INVESTIGATION:
Maya has some bad news for Phoenix. The Kurain Urn was stolen! And it
wasn't just any old thief; it was the infamous phantom thief Mask*
DeMasque! And, it turns out that this was his fifth heist! But don't
move yet! Talk to Maya about "Sacred Urn." If the urn contains Mystic
Ami's soul, shouldn't it read "AMI" instead of "I AM"?, Maya wonders. A
new topic called "Last year's incident" should open up for discussion.
You'd already know if you played the last game, but if you can't
remember, then here's a refresher: when Phoenix was in Kurain Village
investigating a murder, poor little Pearl accidentaly broke the urn,
and made a mistake in spelling when she was trying to put it back
together. The Sacred Urn will be added to the court record. Now move to
the "Main Exhibition Hall".
Well, well, well! If it ain't our old pal Gumshoe! Talk to him about
"What happened". He says some generic stuff that we already know, but he
also says that the urn was stolen around 1:30 AM that night from the
Basement Warehouse. It was reported by the only guard at the time, who
Gumshoe refers to as an "Ace Detective". Talk to him about this next,
but it all boils down to Gumshoe being jealous of this "Ace Detective".
This detective is hot on Mask*DeMasque's trail, and he even managed to
return the last item stolen before the urn heist. He's down in the
basement right now, but we'll get to that later. Now, talk to Gumshoe
about "Mask*DeMasque". It turns out that Mask*DeMasque is quite famous
and is a master of disguise. He also only goes after the rarest art
pieces (remember this statement!). Lordly Tailor also knew that Mask
De*Masque was coming for the urn because he sent a "Calling card" to
them. Talk about this now. It turns out that the police knew that it
came from Mask*DeMasque himself because it has his emblem on it. The
image of the emblem has been witheld from the public becasue it's the
only way the police know if it's really the thief or not. The calling
card in question will be added to the court record. Now move to the
"Basement Warehouse".
Zvarri! It's a guy who wears a magnifying glass as a monocle! He
introduces himself as Luke Atmey, "Ace Detective". Talk to Atmey about
this. Atmey seems suprised that Phoenix doesn't know who he is. It turns
out that Atmey is Mask*DeMasque's arch-nemesis. He also spouts a lot of
nonsensical sentences. He also got a reward for thwarting Mask*
DeMasque's last crime, but he says that it was nothing. Talk to him now
about "Mask*DeMasque". It turns out that Atmey was the guard, since he
and DeMasque were duking it out, but Phoenix assumes that DeMasque
instead outwitted the good detective and made off with a nice little
souvenier. Atmey claims that he let DeMasque get away and Phoenix
decides to probe a little deeper. Talk to Atmey about "The night of the
crime". 20 days ago, Atmey was hired by Lordly Tailor, specifically
Adrian. 10 days later, they recieved Mask*DeMasque's calling card.
Because of that, Atmey decided to lay a trap for the thief: a camera.
Atmey also decided to take no chances and waited at the scene himself.
It was all for naught, however, because no one came through the door at
all! Yet the urn was still stolen! That's impossible!
Present the calling card. Atmey is impressed that you managed to get a
piece of restricted information. Atmey will now allow Phoenix & co. to
examine the warehouse, and he'll leave to look for other clues. We'll
find him later at the "Atmey Detective Agency". Examine the green thing
on the ground. It turns out that this is the Shichishito. It's oddly
bent, as though it were used to hit something. This time, it will be
added to the court record. Head on over to the other side of the room,
and examine the statue. Wasn't it right by the door when Phoenix saw it
last? Now the statue has been moved! The statue will be updated in the
court record. Examine the computer next. Phoenix will print out the
data, and will discover that the camera took one photo that night. The
camera data will be added to the court record. Return to the "Main
Exhibition Hall".
Gumshoe will call, saying that he caught Mask*DeMasque! Well, more like
DeMasque surrendered. Head to the "Detention Center".
Wait. THIS guy is Mask*DeMasque!?!? That came out of nowhere! He
introduces himself as Ron DeLite. Talk to him about "Mask*DeMasque". He
claims that he is Mask*DeMasque, and he has a favor to ask of you. But,
for now, talk about "Sacred Urn". Ron claims that he can't give it back,
as he seems to have LOST IT! Talk to him about "Lost it?". Yes, he just
lost it somewhere, and he can't remember where he lost it. Now talk
about "Dessie". "Dessie" is short for "Desiree", and just so happens to
be Ron's WIFE. Why she married a meek little guy is beyond me. He wants
you to talk to her at his "hideout", well, actually, his apartment
building. Head to "DeMasque's Hideout".
If you ask me, Ron's "hideout" is more like a fanboy's paradise than
anything else. And who better to show up than Desiree DeLite. She's
quite gorgeous. Anyways, talk to her about "Ron DeLite". Desiree states
that Ron has quite the imagination, and because of that, he tends to get
deluded. It's quite possible that she doesn't know about her husband's
secret identity. Now talk about "Desiree DeLite". She prefers to have
plenty of action in her life. She also mentions that Ron has tons of
money, and he gets the green from his job as a security guard. Wait. A
security guard? That's interesting. Talk to her about "The night of the
crime". She was being chased by a police officer for speeding, and she
liked it. Looks like she already has an alibi. When she got home, Ron
was sleeping. That means Ron basically has no alibi.
Now present Mask*DeMasque's profile. She states that Ron has deluded
himself into thinking that he's Mask*DeMasque! Uhhhh... Come again?
Talk to her about "Delusions". It turns out that Ron is so timid, he
looks up to hero figures a lot more than he should. She then hands
Phoenix a letter to give to Ron. Desiree's Letter will be added to the
court record. Now head back to the "Detention Center" and present the
letter you just got to Ron. He'll take it and read it. Does he HAVE to
read it in front of us? In the letter, Desiree urges Ron to have Phoenix
be his defense attorney. Choose to "Take his case". Pearl will get upset
and run back to the "Wright & Co. Law Offices". Follow her there.
Pearl will run off to clean the toilet (odd, considering that Phoenix
already cleaned it...). Talk to Maya about "Pearl". Phoenix first met
Pearl during the murder case in Kurain Village, and seems to have gotten
the wrong idea about he and Maya, considering that she calls Maya
Phoenix's "special someone". Maya says that its because its sort of a
custom in the village. Talk about "Kurain Village Custom". There are
hardly any men in the village, because only the women of the Fey family
can inherit the spiritual powers. A while after they marry a Fey woman,
they start to feel left out, and decide to leave. Pearl's father left
the village when she was very young, and she grew up only seeing unhappy
marriages all around her. Poor girl. Talk about "Maya" now. Maya is
Pearl's only cousin, and because of the murder case last year, is now
her only family. See, Pearl's mother, Morgan, tried to frame Maya for
murder, and was deemed guilty of conspiracy. She's now serving her
sentence in prison. It's the same for Maya; her mother's missing.
Talk about "Maya's mother". If you'll remember from the first game,
Maya's mother, Misty, the current Master of the Kurain Channeling
Technique, channeled the spirit of a murder victim, which laid charges
against one man. That man, however, was declared innocent. People
started to call her a fraud, and, in shame, left the village and dropped
off the face of the earth. If Misty doesn't return to the village in
3 years' time, she'll be declared dead, and Maya, her only daughter,
will inherit the title of "Master". Pearl returns and admits that she
was acting like a baby. She then heads out to collect some evidence on
her own. There's nothing more to do here, so head out to the "Main
Exhibition Hall".
Adrian is here, and she is EXTREMELY distraught over the loss of the
urn. Talk to Adrian about "DeMasque's calling card". She'll confirm the
info Atmey gave you: she hired Atmey 20 days ago, and 10 days ago, they
got the card. She'll reveal a little more by saying that Atmey urged
Adrian not to call the police. Huh. That's strange. Lordly Tailor's
security is top-notch, probably their way of saying "Bring it on!" Well,
looks like DeMasque showed them that he was a top-tier thief, and that
they couldn't possibly outwit him. Now talk about "The security". Adrian
states that the urn's value after appraisal was pretty much zero. What a
waste! She even polished it to make it look more valuable (Remember
this!)! Anyways, Atmey was in charge of all the security arrangements.
However, five days ago, she began receiving tons of stuff from Kurain
and the associated temples. None of the people carting the items in
could have been DeMasque, because Adrian checked them herself. I don't
think we'll be getting anything else out of her, so let's check if Atmey
is in his office yet.
That monocled freak is indeed here, so let's have a chat with him. Talk
to him about "The night of the crime". Atmey states that this was his
fifth run-in with his arch-nemesis, and that he won't allow anyone else
to interfere with his pursit of the thief. In fact, Atmey first
encountered him when he stole the "Tear of Emanon". But with Atmey's
trap set up with Lordly Tailor's assistance, how did DeMasque get in?
What was his modus operandi (M.O.)? Talk to Atmey about the "Sacred Urn"
next. Atmey's only interested in one thing and that's Mask*DeMasque. The
item that was stolen was merely the lure to reel him in. Seems like he
doesn't know about the urn's true value. Talk about "DeMasque's M.O.".
How did Atmey miss Mask*DeMasque stealing the urn when he was the only
one on guard that night? The background will fade out, tons of chains
appear, and a red lock will show up as well. If this sounds familiar,
then it can only be one thing: a Psyche-Lock! Talk about "Psyche-Lock"
now if you want to. Phoenix will explain to Maya what a Psyche-Lock is,
and she'll be astounded that the Magatama can do that! Anyways, we
already have all the evidence we need, so let's get cracking!
LUKE ATMEY'S PSYCHE-LOCK: MASK*DEMASQUE'S M.O.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phoenix states that there's no way Atmey could have missed DeMasque.
Atmey says that he was guarding the warehouse, but no one came through
the door at all. Show Atmey the Camera Data to prove that someone indeed
emerged though the door; it went off once that night, remember? Atmey
did see someone that night! The question is, why is he trying to hide
it? Maybe he was "unconcious"! Atmey will shrug off your suggestion and
will tell you to prove it. Present the Shichishito; it's been bent, as
if it's been used to hit someone on the head! Unlock successful!
Talk to Atmey about "DeMasque's M.O." now. He'll confirm your theory by
saying that DeMasque hit him over the head with the sword. Atmey never
saw him coming, and suggests that maybe he came in elsewhere. The
Shichishito will be updated in the court record. Atmey never saw the
thief! It may not be DeMasque after all! Atmey says that it could have
only been Mask*DeMasque. He has the photo proving it! The Security
Camera Photo will be added to the court record.  Atmey states that
DeMasque had a good reason for stealing it, after all. Talk to Atmey
about "DeMasque's reason". Atmey states that there should be a green
envelope in his room. He wants you to go and get it. We've already
accomplished what we came here to do, so let's go back to the hideout.
The envelope should be on the table in the corner. Examine it, and
Phoenix will learn that it's a blackmail letter! It's ordering Ron to
pay $50,000, or else his identity will be exposed! The Blackmail Letter
will now be added to the court record. Someone rings the doorbell, and
it turns out to be none other than... LARRY BUTZ!!! That's right, ladies
and gentlemen, the Butz has returned to cause more trouble. Talk to him
about "Larry Butz". It seems that over the last two years, he chased one
of his many girlfriends to Tibet, where he met another pretty girl. That
girl chose Hollywood over him, and as a result, he's lost his trust in
women. He's got yet another part-time job, this time as a security
guard. Now ask about "Why you came here". It turns out he found Ron's
wallet, and it's added to the court record. He's come to return it, or
so he says. I suspect that he's actually here for Desiree. Now ask about
the "Wallet". He found the wallet at his part-time job. Larry also adds
that Ron works there. He even produces a key card from Ron's wallet. The
card belongs to the security company; specifically, it allows access to
the CEO's office. The Key Card will now be entered into the court
record. Present the Key Card back to Larry. He says that there's a
record of that card's usage, but he can't provide those records. The Key
Card will be updated in the court record. Now present the Blackmail
Letter. Larry will be initialy dumbfounded, but when he realizes that
the note is for Ron, he'll state that the name of the company they work
for is called "KB Security". Talk to him about that.
Larry states that KB Security is about 30 minutes by car from the
apartment, and, by extension, Lordly Tailor. If Ron was at KB Security
the night of the crime, there's no way he'd be at Lordly Tailor stealing
the urn! Pearl calls Phoenix's phone and says that she's lost. She tried
to go to Lordly Tailor, but ended up at Atmey's office. Why don't we
head over there and pick her up?
Well, Pearl is here, but there's also a duffel bag on the table. Examine
it. Just as Phoenix is about to take a hard and smooth object out, Atmey
shows up and Phoenix is caught red-handed. Well, now that he's here,
let's take the opportunity to talk with him. Talk with him about
"Tomorrow's trial". He'll be testifying tomorrow, and he's sworn to take
down Phoenix & co. as DeMasque's co-conspirators! Is this guy insane or
what? He'll also state that the prosecutor for the case will be "Godot".
Talk to him about that next. Apparently, Godot is so good that even
Edgeworth speaks highly of him! That must be one talented man! Now talk
about "DeMasque's identity". He's certain that Ron is DeMasque!
Apparently, he hasn't been to KB Security yet. This ends the
investigation, and the stage is set for one exciting trial! Save your
game.
:DAY 3 " TRIAL:
Ron is still insisting upon his guilt. But the fact that he doesn't have
the urn casts a lot of suspicion on his confession. You now also have
the Mask*DeMasque Publicity Photo added to the court record. Time to
make a difference.
At last we meet Godot. He drinks a lot of coffee, and wears a wierd mask
that covers his eyes. In fact, this is his first trial. Huh? Isn't he
undefeated? "I've never lost. I've never won before either," he says.
Man, he is one cool customer. He also purposefully mispronounces
Phoenix's last name as "Trite", and claims that he's returned from Hell
to do battle with him in court. He also doesn't give out an opening
statement and goes straight to the first witness: Detective Dick
Gumshoe. Poor Gumshoe doesn't even get to state his name and profession!
Godot forces him to go into his testimony.
DICK GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY: MASK*DEMASQUE'S CRIMES
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-Mask*DeMasque is a master thief that first started his crime spree 6
months ago.
-He's so confident that he sends his calling card before he even commits
the crime!
-This was his fifth heist, and as usual, he sent a card on to Lordly
Tailor.
-His pattern is to always go after only the most precious art pieces.
-That's why we're sure it's Mask*DeMasque, sir. It fits his M.O. to a T!
Wait a minute! Didn't Adrian tell us that the urn's estimated value
after appraisal was close to zero? That means that DeMasque couldn't
have gone after it, as it wouldn't fetch a lot of money! Counter
Gumshoe's fourth statement, the one about precious art pieces, with the
Sacred Urn. Godot states that if Mask*DeMasque did not steal the urn,
then the thief must be a fake. The judge asks the defense for proof that
it was a fake that stole the urn. Compare the publicity photo with the
camera photo. What's missing? The broach. The DeMasque in the publicity
photo is wearing it, but the DeMasque in the camera photo is not!
Present the Security Camera Photo, and when the judge asks for
clarification, point to the chest/neck area. Godot counters, however, by
presenting the broach in question. Godot found it at the crime scene,
behind Ami Fey's statue. Godot also says that Ron's fingerprints are all
over it. *gulp* The judge notices that the broach was torn off of some
clothing; there's still a little piece of cloth left on the back.
DeMasque's Broach will now be added to the court record. Godot takes the
chance to call his next witness: Luke Atmey, the Ace Detective. He'll be
testifying about the night of the crime.
LUKE ATMEY'S FIRST TESTIMONY: WHAT I WITNESSED
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-It was appoximately 1 o'clock in the morning... just after the date
changed.
-That's when my nemesis, the infamous Mask*DeMasque, dancingly decended
upon me!
-Just as I began to turn, the coward struck a fierce blow upon my noble
head!
-Darkness swallowed me before I could land a single strike. When I
awoke, he was gone.
-Thirty minutes later, I used an emergency phone to notify the police!
Hold up. Didn't DeMasque's broach get torn off during a furious round of
fisticuffs? Present DeMasque's Broach to Atmey's statement that he was
rendered unconcious before he could do battle. Atmey claims that he
confused this case with another one, and will testify again.
LUKE ATMEY'S SECOND TESTIMONY: FIGHT WITH THE THIEF
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-Indeed, it's true that I looked away from the door for a brief moment.
-However... Luke Atmey cannot be so easily discombobulated!
-Unfortunately, the thief grabbed a weapon from the side and... rendered
me senseless.
-A true gentleman fights only with his own fists... But they were not
enough.
-His first blow struck true! Bam! ...And that's all she wrote.
Unfortunately, the contradiction isn't here right now, so all we can do
is press. Begin by pressing Atmey's fifth statement. Ask about the
"Atmey Fighting Style" when given the chance. Basically, all one has to
do is put their backs to the wall. That way, they can't get hit from
behind. When the judge asks about this statement, bluff and say that "It
was very important". The following will then be added to the testimony:
-I put my back to the wall to fight, but the thief's blow landed upon my
third eye.
Counter this new statement with the Shichishito; Atmey said yesterday
that he was struck from behind with it. There's no way he had his back
to the wall! Phoenix also states that the fact that Atmey hid the card
from the police was very strange. It seems as if maybe he was afraid
they'd stage a stakeout! When the judge asks the defense what they're
up to, declare that "Mr. Atmey is Mask*DeMasque!" Yup, you heard me!
Everything seems to fit. Atmey was concealing his presence at the crime
scenes and waited for the moment to strike! There was no need to rig the
camera, because he wanted it to go off! At that moment, Godot throws
his coffee straight at Phoenix's head! There's no proof that Atmey stole
the urn! The box may have been empty! When the judge asks you for your
proof, tell him the sad truth that the proof "has yet to be found!"
That's when Desiree shows up with the duffel bag from Atmey's office.
Lo and behold, it's the Sacred Urn! It's immediately updated in the
court record.
Godot counters, however, stating that she could be lying about her
"find" in Atmey's office. Even Atmey's fingerprints on the urn wouldn't
be enough, since he was guarding it! But wait! Didn't Phoenix touch it
in Atmey's office yesterday? Propose to "Show fingerprints on the urn".
When the judge asks for whose, present Phoenix's own profile. If his
fingerprints are on it, then it's the same object that was found in
Atmey's office! Plus, since Adrian polished the urn earlier, only his
fingerprints would be on it! Atmey breaks down and confesses. But before
the judge can announce the verdict, Ron charges the stand and
confesses to his guilt! Godot will allow him to testify.
RON DELITE'S FIRST TESTIMONY: MASK*DEMASQUE'S IDENTITY
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-The truth is, I've been Mask*DeMasque all along!
-I mean, you can't prove that I'm not actually Mask*DeMasque, can you?
-I don't have an alibi for the night the urn was stolen, after all!
-I donned my costume that night and dancingly descended upon the scene
of the crime!
-Look! You can see right there in the photo! That's me!
-As for my broach, I snagged it on the door handle, and it got torn off,
that's all!
Doesn't have an alibi, huh? Well, we'll just see about that. Present the
Card Key against Ron's third statement, the one about having no alibi.
He was at KB Security that night, remember? Godot will ask for proof
that Ron was there that night. So, present the Blackmail Letter. He was
supposed to go there that night in response to the letter, remember?
Godot will now ask for a witness, so present Larry's profile. He was
there that night at KB, so he would know who came and went that night.
After a short while, Godot states that the CEO of KB Security is named
Kane Bullard. No one could contact him at all, but they did confirm that
the key card was used at 1 AM that night. *sniffs* Ahhhh. Smells like an
airtight alibi to me. The Key Card is updated in the court record. And
so, the judge pronounces Ron DeLite Not Guilty of larceny.
As everyone (but Ron) celebrates in the lobby, Godot shows up to inform
them that Kane Bullard was murdered. The estimated time of death was
1:00 AM on October 12th. The only person that could have met with him at
the estimated time of death was... Ron DeLite! Uh-oh! Now Ron's under
arrest again, this time for murder! And it's all Phoenix's fault! Save
your game.
:DAY 3 " INVESTIGATION:
Back in the office, Pearl will take the Sacred Urn back to Kurain to get
it examined; there's a chance that it's not the real urn. Talk about the
"Sacred Urn". Maya and Phoenix discuss the possibility of the urn being
a forgery. Talk about "Kurain Village" next. Since Maya hasn't been
training for a while, she's been thinking of going to a dojo to do just
that. Looks like she's still a little shaken up from that murder case a
year ago. When a spirit is summoned, the medium's soul disappears while
the spirit controls the body for the duration of the channeling. If the
spirit goes out of control, it could have serious consequences. Well,
that's enough reminicing for a while, so let's hear what Desiree has to
say about the murder; she's at the hideout.
Desiree swears that Ron's not a killer, and Phoenix swears that he'll
clear up this entire mess. Talk about "Ron DeLite". Desiree states that
she doesn't keep any secrets from Ron and vice-versa. Apparently, for
