The fourth case of Ace Attorney Investiཧgations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit is a very exciting one indeed. A Turnabout Forsaken helps bring many of the plot threads together and reveals q💝uite a bit about a cert🌱ain antagonistic character, and we learn just how far Edgeworth can be pushed in the name of justice and the law.

This case will begin with you meeting two new characters, though one does seem to ♏have a connection to Edgeworth already. After speaking to her about every dialogue option she has, you'll head straight into the first cross-examination of the penultimate episode! Read on 💖below for our spoiler-free walkthrough.

Cross-Examination: What I Remember

1. Press the third statement: "I don't remember... I... I just... don't remember anything........."
2. Press the new statement: "But... from under the cherry tree... I think I saw... something red..."
3. Present the Bigg Building Pamphlet at the new statement: "But... there was someone walking toward me... from beyond the concession stand..."

The clim🍨actic scene will then lead to a proper investigation.

Investigation: Committee For Prosecutorial Excellence Chamber

Begin this investigation by talking to everyone you can - the police officer, Kay, and then Niedler and Hertz. Then, examine the statue of the Goddess of Justice at the back of the room, and the pool of blood at its feet.

Franziska will enter at this point. With her intervention, you'll be able to exౠamine the body: look at the following points:

• The candelabrum.
• The stab wounds.
• The white gloves in the pocket.
• The book next to the body.
• The keycard in the body's right hand.
• The magenta fabric in the coat.

After examining everything, Deduce the scrap of purple fabric and present the Magenta Flower to show a connection. Then, you can mak🐽e a deducti🐼on to end the investigation:

Cross-Examination: Why I Think Kay Did It

1. Present the Keycard at the third statement: "She snuck into the Committee chamber looking to do some of her trademark great-thieving!"

Cross-Examination: Kay's Letter

1. Present the Coroner's Findings at the fifth statement: "The letter she kept safe in her left chest pocket, which spells out the name of her killer."
2. The evidence that points to a different suspect is the Keycard Record.

The exciting scenes will lead to your next🔴 investigat𒅌ion.

Investigation: Bigg Building Viewing Platform

Start this investigation by talking to Niedler and Hertz, and then start loo🍷king around. Examine the following:

• The cherry tree on the left.
• The railing next to the tree.

Walk through the centre of the area after these actions and you'll be distracted by a nois🍨e - it'🌃s Kay herself!

After the scene, talk to Kay about everything and then examine the television, which now has a broadcast about the Bigg Building. Examine the lit floor underneath the rooftop park, and then Deduce that lit floor with the Bigg Building Pamphlet as evidence of a contradiction.

With these clues gathered, make the following deduꦜctions:

This will prompt you to go examine the cherry tree once more. Examine the obvious hatch when you receive a🎶 close-up to get the final clue of the investigation.

The ensuing scenes will transition directly into the next inv𓆉estigation.

Investigation: Fifty-First Floor Storeroom

Begin by examining your surroundings. Specifically, take a look at the massive statue and you'll meet an old acquaintance.

You can't talk to Lotta about anything relevant just yet, so examine the following:

• The masks on the back wall. Deduce the empty hook and link it to the Jammin' Ninja Mask.
• The table with dolls on it. Examine the cloth with a star on it and the stuffed toy with a missing horn. Deduce the cloth with the Candelabrum.
• The briefcase filled with money on the right side of the screen.

Make the following deduction:

This will allow you to talk to Lotta. Do so, and present her with the Coroner's Findings once you've exhausted her options and learned about what the ringleader was wear𓂃ing. She won't reveal much, but you can draw it out with a session of mind chess.

After completing this sequence, connect the available clues:

When asked to test areas for luminol, spray it a little further up the ladder than the example luminol patch. Then, you'll have to test more areas for blood:

• Test the wooden box with chains wrapped around it; spray inside the box.
