Chapter 3: The Stickup Walkthrough – Judgment

1 – Return to Yagami Detective Agency

Mission Text:
“The Matsugane Family wants us dead. I’ve gotta warn Kaito-san!”

Return to Yagami’s office to trigger a cutscene.

2 – Tail Higashi

Mission Text:
“What happened to Higashi over the last year? Learning where he goes is a start.”

Step outside. There’s only one path to take if you want to find Higashi.

Follow him closely. Change into stakeout attire from the menu, then head in to investigate.

Attempt to enter through the back door a few times, which will trigger a confrontation with the clerk. Once the cutscene concludes, return to Kaito at the office.

3 – Head to Tender

Mission Text:
“Maybe I can get some info from Ayabe about the Matsugane Family robbery last year.”

Visit Bar Tender, where every visit sparks conversation. Step inside, and you’ll leave with a job.

4 – Go to the Hills Garden on Park Boulevard

Mission Text:
“An anonymous client is waiting for me at the Hills Garden on Park Boulevard”

Head outdoors and make your way to the location indicated on the map. There, you’ll unlock a Side Case titled “Underneath the Mask,” courtesy of the Anonymous Burglars.

5 – Go to Tenkaichi Alley (Underneath the Mask Mission)

Mission Text:
“An anonymous client is waiting for me at the Hills Garden on Park Boulevard”

Head to the location marked on the map. Once there, enter the alley and climb the ladder to reach the roof. This area leads to a dead end. Next, make your way to Senryo Avenue (also marked on the map). From there, proceed to Kamuro Theater Garden and access the underground section. Look for the elevator near the smoker’s room, which will take you up to the rooftop.

6 – Meet the Client again

Mission Text:
“I should head to the Hills Garden on Park Boulevard. Jester’s search for Crow doesn’t seem very noble…

Return to ground level and make your way back to Hills Garden. When speaking with Crow, select “Oathbreaker Crow” as your first piece of evidence.

Next, reference the “Used Accessory.” After that, defeat Crow. Once completed, Ayabe will call.

7 – Return to Yagami Detective Agency

Head back to the office and get some rest. Ayabe will wake you in the morning and provide the files.

8 – Inquire about Red Nose

Mission Text:
“The robber that knocked off the Matsugane Family was a homeless guy called Red Nose. Maybe some homeless guys would know if he’s even still alive…”

Step out of the office and visit the red circle locations marked on the map to engage with homeless individuals. I found the most valuable information came from someone at the Shichifuku Parking Lot.

9 – Head to Paradise VR

Mission Text:
“These places pop up faster than I can keep track of them. I guess I’ll do what I can to find out more about Red Nose.”

Visit Paradise VR and speak with the receptionist to secure your victory in the game. Afterwards, return to the homeless man with the Luxury Meal Ticket in hand. Your next destination is the Children’s Park. Along the way, Kaito will give you a call. Once you arrive at the park, prepare to face the homeless in a fight before engaging in a conversation with their boss.

10 – Head to Charles

Mission Text:
“Red Nose is long dead and, as it turns out, Higashi was looking for him. Could Higashi have killed him to return the missing money?”

Head to Charles – the Arcade, where a conversation will initiate. Prepare to face Higashi in battle. Defeating him will unlock the beginning of Chapter 4: Skeletons in the Closet.
