Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Hints

Edgeworth gave me a fingerprinting kit! Where should I use it?

  • 1 of 17: In the Evidence Room, obviously! Head over there now!
  • 2 of 17: As soon as you head inside Ema will give you the lowdown on fingerprinting.
  • 3 of 17: We need to choose a finger, the clearest one possible.
  • 4 of 17: It doesn't really matter but the index and middle fingers work best.
  • 5 of 17: Unfortunately, whoever left this handprint was wearing gloves.
  • 6 of 17: But, as Ema points out, there are a couple of fingerprints outside the bloody handprint.
  • 7 of 17: Try the one to the lower right of the bloody thumb.
  • 8 of 17: Much better!
  • 9 of 17: We need to compare the prints to the ones in our files to see who left it.
  • 10 of 17: Gumshoe said this is his locker, so his prints seem the most likely.
  • 11 of 17: And indeed, yes, these prints belong to Gumshoe.
  • 12 of 17: There was one more handprint in this room... on a locker to the left. Check it out!
  • 13 of 17: Remember, the blood on the locker was wiped away, and that's what the Luminol showed up.
  • 14 of 17: However, this doesn't mean there are no prints here. They just may not be visible.
  • 15 of 17: Select where the handprint's next finger would be, a little to the left of the middle finger, and examine it.
  • 16 of 17: You will find a perfect print, so try matching it!
  • 17 of 17: You can do so by eyesight... and the prints belong to Jake Marshall!
