Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit - Spoiler-Free Walkthrough

by Josh Tolentino on 16 September, 2024

Thanks to the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit is now officially available in English for the first time! If you're new to the collection, starting with Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is highly recommended. As we mention in our review, the two games are connected enough that they're best treated as two halves of a single, larger saga.

As with our previous walkthroughs for the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy collections, you can check out this spoiler-free walkthrough to help you beat every case and nail every choice.

Note: While we consider the walkthrough to be spoiler-free, making the guide comprehensible means that we did need to get specific when necessary.

You can use the links below to jump directly to a specific section of each episode.

Episode 1: Turnabout Trigger walkthrough

It's time to continue that prosecutin' life in the first episode of Ace Attorney Investigations 2. We begin with a case involving the Republic of Zheng Fa, a nation that featured in much of the previous game's background. Things begin with a doozy of a case - the attempted assassination of Zheng Fa's President!

As with the previous game, the episodes of Prosecutor's Gambit are a little less rigidly structured than a mainline Ace Attorney game. For convenience, we'll organize the guide by activity, mainly splitting things up between Investigation, where you move around the area seeking clues, and Confrontation, a mode similar to the regular Cross-Examination sessions where you pinpoint issues with someone's testimony and file objections or press for details.

In addition, the Investigations games add Facts and Logic. You collect Facts like you would evidence, but can hope into Logic mode to connect Facts together to gain new information or clues. Prosecutor's Gambit adds a new twist on Logic, which we'll detail in the guide when you get to it.

Episode 1: Part 1 Investigation Phase 1

Here are all the actions you'll need to take to clear the investigation phase.

You can consult our guide to Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth for a more detailed description of these basics if you need more help than the tutorial provides, but here's a quick rundown of key terms as we use them here:

  • Evidence - Clues and items listed in Edgeworth's Organizer.
  • Facts - Used in Logic mode to get new Facts and Evidence.
  • Deduce - When examining a photo or scene, you can point out some element of it and relate it to some evidence you carry by hitting "Deduce."
  • You'll first go through the introductory cutscenes and dialog, then begin at Gourd Lake - Spectator Area.
    • During the initial briefing, you'll receive the Newspaper Clipping Evidence and the President was shot at Fact.
    • Speak to the President's bodyguards to receive the Event security Fact.
    • Pop into Logic mode and click on both President was shot at and Event security, then hit the "Connect" button to form a logical link between the two, leading to the Assassination attempt Fact.
    • Begin examining things around the area, starting with the red tattered material draped on the railing to the right of the bodyguards.
    • When prompted, point to the small hole in the flag (near its red symbol) and Present it to receive the Flag with bullet hole Fact. 
    • Examine the submerged Steel Samurai balloon to receive the Popped balloon Fact. You'll also receive the Steel Samurai Balloon Evidence.
    • Edgeworth will signal that it's time to hop into Logic mode and make some more connections, so do so.
    • Connect Popped balloon with Flag with bullet hole to complete this investigation.
  • After the investigation, you'll meet a new character, and be introduced to Prosecutor's Gambit's new mechanic: Mind Chess.

Episode 1: Part 1 Mind Chess

Welcome to Miles Edgeworth's Mind Chess, a new mechanic that adds a bit of time pressure to your conversational sparring. During Mind Chess, you'll see a timer at the top of the screen ticking down, and when it expires, your opponent will grow impatient and cut off the conversation. Your objective - the information you want to wheedle out of them - is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Your objective is to select the correct response based not just the content of the conversation but the mood of the opponent at the moment in the timeline. Making the wrong choices incurs a time penalty as well as a health hit. Making the right choices breaks an opponent's mental chess pieces, with your eventual goal to defeat their Queen.

In general, you'll want to wait an opponent out when their temper's flaring by choosing to "bide your time," then press the offensive when they seem vulnerable to refill the timer and move on.

If you feel pressured by the ticking clock, note that the timer will pause when characters are speaking. You can also enter the options menu to halt the timer until you're ready to make a choice.
