*****SPOILER WARNING*****

Here is the guide for the final investigation,

On March 20th, after you have greeted all of the Social Links that you managed to maximize during the past year, you will be given the option to return home and pack, you must choose No.

Make your way to Junes Department Store and walk to the elevator. Check it and choose

"Might as well stop by the food court one last time..."

Discussion will begin and you all agree that something's still not entirely right. Choose any options, but the safe bets are:

"There is something..." (1st Response)
"My uncle, Dojima." (1st Response)

After the discussion is finished, you'll be allowed control again. Head to the Riverbank at the Samegawa Flood Plain and speak with Dojima. Choose these options:

"I want to talk to you" (2nd Response)
"The weird attendant?" (2nd Response)
"I looked sick?" (1st Response)
"It might be important" (3rd Response)
Any Response

Once finished with Dojima, go to the Central Shopping District and enter the Velvet Room.

A brief conversation will take place between yourself and the Velvet Room residents. Pick Any Options during the dialogue.

Once you leave the Velvet Room, go down the street to the gas station where you first were introduced to Inaba back in April.

The attendant you met that first day is standing there. Speak with the Attendant and choose these options in the dialogue:

"Isn't this where I first...?" (2nd Response)
"Do you know Namatame?" (2nd Response)
The Attendant will stop speaking with you, but force him to talk and choose these options each time he attempts to cut you off:

"Did those two come here?" (3rd Response)
"Did you do anything to them?" (2nd Response)
"What did you do to me?" (2nd Response)
"Did you give me the power?" (3rd Response)
Any Response

Thank you for reading this guide, once again, all of the sources are listed above at the start of the guide.

I swear this is the most annoying feature in the entire game, it feels like I'm playing goddamn shenmue, if they removed these parts in the game it would be 10x better for it

Some of the times I do that day it's a little weird as well, normally what I do is just keep talking to everyone and eventually it works, it's a little annoying as i don't think there is anyway to tell if you have missed anyone in town so don't worry about it, it's a normal problem:steamhappy:
What Is My Name?  [author] 8 Jul, 2020 @ 1:10pm 
Hey! Try and talk to everyone again in the order shown in the guide
Throat Goat 8 Jul, 2020 @ 12:56pm 
Thanks for the guy, my man! However I'm currently on Dec 5th and even after talking to everyone in the whole of the Shopping District, Junes and the Samegawa Flood Plain and the story still has not progressed. Is this a normal problem or am I missing something / being stupid?

What Is My Name?  [author] 6 Jul, 2020 @ 10:32am 
No problem! Yeah it was a shock to me too the lack of guides on this topic
HairyOreo 6 Jul, 2020 @ 7:55am 
Thanks for posting how to open each dungeon. As far as I'm aware this is the first real place that lists every dungeon on one page. It's easily one of the most annoying parts about the game.

Will do!:steamhappy:
