As you may have gathered by now,Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworthis a game that doesn’t really care about being in chronological order. The fourth episode, Turnabout Reminiscence is named quite well - this case takes place far in the past, during Edgeworth’s training to be a prosecutor under the tutelage of Manfred von Karma.
Also getting some attention in this case are Franziska von Karma and Gumshoe, with this episode giving us a great insight into what their relationships with Edgeworth were like back in the day. Don’t worry, there’s also a grizzly mystery to solve, and we have all the solutions below.
Beginning: The Court House

Begin byspeaking to Manfredto learn about today’s trial and its history. Checking out theKG-8 Incident Overview fileis a good idea when it’s added to your case files. The scenes that follow your conversations with Manfred will have you meeting Kay and then discovering the big tragedy of the episode.
When you regain control in the hallway,speak to everyone there- the detective with the long coat, the defence lawyer in blue, and good ol' Detective Gumshoe.
After the conversations, you’ll be ready to start the first proper investigation of the episode.
