Suggested Navigation: In Investigation Mode, use your browser’s find function to look for your current in-game location; in Trial Mode, search for the name of the current witness to find a guide to their testimony. In Investigation Mode, it is possible to progress in a slightly different order than listed below: if the options presented do not appear as described, double-check that all proceeding actions have been completed, and try again.
The Rite of Turnabout: Investigation
Investigation mode is largely unchanged from the previous cases: Examine areas to obtain new evidence, and Talk to persons of interest to build your case. Phoenix also has a unique ability during these sections, Psyche-Locks which allows him to detect when a person is lying, and gives him the chance to use evidence collected during the investigation to break down their mental barriers.
As before, there are a number of optional items to investigate, show to witnesses and discuss. While they provide no gameplay benefit, do not affect the story, and are not covered here, searching for them is highly recommended.
Investigation - Day 1
Move to the Plaza of Devotion
Talk to an old friend: the story will advance significantly. Talk to Ema Skye to discuss the crime, and begin the investigation.
Move to the Inner Sanctum, and before you begin your search, Examine the girl standing in front of the altar.
Talk to Rayfa Khur’ain.
During this investigation, changing the camera angle several times is required. From the default position, Examine all the all the lanterns, the painting on the wall, and the text next to it. Examine the Warbaa’d Statue, and continue your investigation after walking towards it.
While standing in front of the Altar, Examine the mask and cloak on the ground, the white outline, the bird statue itself, and the bloodstained paper.
Go Back to your default position, and pressing right on the D-pad Rotate the camera to the left.
From this new angle, Examine the statue again: when zoomed in, do the same to the eye socket. Go Back and Examine the surrounding scene, specifically the large rock, lantern and, once the camera moves closer to the lantern, the surrounding snow.

You’ll be taken to several different locations, Talk to all the people you meet until the end of the Investigation Section.
The Rite of Turnabout: Trial
Trials in Khu’rain feature a heavy emphasis on Divination Seances. During these scenes, a short scene is played, showing the final moments of a victim’s life, with the various sensations they experienced shown as text. As opposed to the traditional court-arguments, you can neither Press statements, nor Present contradicting evidence.
Instead, the Priestess performing the Seance will provide an account of the victim’s final moments, as interpreted by the prosecution. Your job is to match specific parts of the visions to show errors in the accompanying ’testimony.’ When referring to a numbered scene, this guide means that you should ensure that many magatamas are displayed on the bottom screen
