All Convictions Guide

# Requirements

This is a very rough guide for now - just enough to clarify what's needed to meet the requirements of the category. I'll follow up with a baseline route once I have a run uploaded to support it.

Please note that this guide, and the category rules, contain extensive spoilers for the whole game.

You can see the requirements for a valid run in the category rules. You must unlock all 10 case files, uncover the additional 2 conspiracies, and achieve the following, and *only* the following, convictions:

* Akiko, **2 convictions**: Henry's Escape, Who Killed the Holy Seal Marshals?
* Carmelina, **2 convictions**: The Murder of Grace Bloodlines, Carmelina's Conspiracy
* Lydia, **1-2 convictions**: The Second Holy Seal, Who Killed the Holy Seal Marshals? (Optional)
* Sam, **2 convictions**: Who Opened the Third Seal?, Who Breached the Fourth Holy Seal?
* Witness, **2 convictions**: The Mystery of the Dead Killer Demon, Witness's Conspiracy
* Yuri, **5 convictions**: Henry's Demonic Possession, K. HX is Missing, The Second Holy Seal, Who Opened the Third Seal?, Who Breached the Fourth Holy Seal?
* Dainonigate, **3 convictions**: Who Opened the Third Seal?, Who Breached the Fourth Holy Seal?, The Crime to End all Crimes

(Note: While Lydia did *not* kill the Seal Marshals, she *did* breach the first Holy Seal. Whether it's a glitch or not, the game convicts her of this crime when she confesses after Sam's conviction. As far as I'm aware, there's no way to avoid this and still convict Yuri of all of his crimes. If a way to do this is discovered, that run **will** be valid, so long as no other convictions are added or missing.)

Any run that has the above, and only the above, convictions at the end of the trial will be valid for this category.

# Finding the case files

You have to get all 10 regular case files to get the correct convictions. There may be more than one way to open each case file, but one possibility is:

1.  Talk to Judge to unlock **The Crime to End all Crimes** and **K. HX is Missing**
2.  Talk to Akiko via Starligh to unlock **Henry's Escape**
3.  Get the vault records from the library to unlock **Henry's Demonic Possession**
4.  Open Grace Bloodline's grave to unlock **The Murder of Grace Bloodlines**
5.  Inspect the dead marshals to unlock **Who Killed the Holy Seal Marshals**
6.  Talk to Shinji by the Second Seal door to unlock **The Second Holy Seal**
7.  Inspect the Third Seal to unlock **Who Opened the Third Seal?**
8.  Inspect the Fourth Seal to unlock **Who Breached the Fourth Holy Seal?**
9.  Inspect the killer demon to unlock **The Mystery of the Dead Killer Demon**

# One possible trial

There may be more than one way to achieve this result. There may also be evidence requirements that are not listed here. But one way to get the required convictions is with the following accusations:

1.  Akiko
2.  Yuri
3.  Carmelina
4.  Akiko
5.  Yuri
6.  Yuri
7.  Sam
8.  Dainonigate
9.  Witness
10. Dainonigate
11. (And then both Carmelina and Witness' conspiracies.)

Categories

Any% is probably the least interesting category since it consists in rushing the intro, speaking immediatly to the Judge to say that you've figured everything out and accusing random people to get to the ending. Then you have to go to the pier to speak to Lydia (probably the segment of the run where you can earn time with a good route) and that's it.

100% would be a really tough challenge because there are a lot of collectibles all around the island (evidences, useless collectibles, starlight skins and blood gems which are the currency to get info/items/upgrades). For reference it took me 13+ hours to complete casually the game in something that would be close to 100% (not entirely sure I got everything, I might have missed a couple of items you get by "hanging out" with people). So I don't know how long it would take in speedrun. And there would be a lot of routing to optimize collecting the gems, speaking to the characters in the right order etc.

I believe we can come up with medium categories if people are willing to do something longer than any% but not as tedious as 100% : For example a run where we would have to get at least enough evidence to convince the Judge that we're accusing the right person for the main case (the council murdered). I don't think we need all the evidence every time, so the routing could be interesting. We would need to determine which blood gems to get on the way so that we can buy the movement upgrades (double jump and dash) asap and then figure out what infos we need and from whom.

If anyone really wants to invest on this speedrun, feel free to contact me so I can either create the categories or giving you moderation rights so that you can set it up.
