Hello all! Lonnie here with an achievement and solutions guide to Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth (or just AAI)

It's been a messy road getting to this guide, as I had grossly overestimated how long I had to complete guides for the other games before this one officially released on Steam. So! I'm pretty behind on guides! I originally planned to have AT LEAST AA4's guide uploaded before I sat down and worked on this duology, but alas the stars did not align. And by the stars I mean my brain cells.

I put the AA4 and AA5 guides on hold while I dedicate all of my time to the AAI collection, so these two guides will come out first and then I'll go back to the prior games afterwards. Big apologies for anyone who was waiting for the AJ trilogy guides over this last month!

Either way, we'll go right into it! Per usual, I will go into detail for every single achievement and step you need to take to complete the game as concisely as possible. Each step will be labeled in different ways, such as Achievement steps. As always, I write all of my guides as I play the game, so there's always a good chance something will be misspelled or improperly formatted. While I try to triple check everything before I upload, I'm only human! If you find any errors, or have any tips and tricks to make the game-play smoother, don't hesitate to let me know! I try to respond to every comment, but if I don't, I do at least read all of them!

Disclaimers and Important Things to Note

• I play the Ace Attorney games on mouse and keyboard, so I will be operating my guides by that medium. If you play on controller, just press the appropriate controller button!
  
• If you are going for 100% achievements, DO NOT PLAY THE GAME IN STORY MODE! Story Mode is essentially just an automatic playthrough, and AAI warns you ahead of time that ALL ACHIEVEMENTS ARE LOCKED IN STORY MODE. (Don't be lazy, play the game manually!)
  
• I will include any gameplay tips in the solution guide, such as keystrokes that make the menus transition smoother
  
• I will include sections for each Chapter based achievement. I will also go into detail about where you need to go for each achievement in its proper Solution chapter, so don't worry about needing to use the Achievement section for keeping track!
  
• This game collection has an Accolades section in the Gallery section. You can check all of your progress for multi-part achievements in that section, making it way easier to see what you're missing for the achievement.

Clear Episode 1






Play the game using the HD sprites.

This achievement unlocks automatically once you start a new game as HD sprites are equipped by default (And it will ask you what sprites you would like to use when you start the game). If you would like to change your sprites between HD and Pixel later on, go to Options > Art Style > Change to Pixel Art






Successfully make a connection during Logic mode, unlocked automatically.






Successfully present evidence during a Rebuttal, unlocked automatically.






During Part 1-2 - Second Half, you will be kicked out of your office. Talk to Gumshoe about 'Anything of interest?'

Gameplay Tips

• Pressing the right mouse button is the same as pressing the Back key. Use this to close menus quickly!
  
• In the Options menu you can change your sprint from Tap to Hold and vice versa. Left mouse button can also trigger sprint (but it doesn't seem dependent on holding the button)

Prologue
Note - This is essentially a tutorial part where you will learn the Logic mechanic. In Logic Mode, you will have to match two pieces of logic that have a connection to formulate a proper reasoning. Much like every other mechanic in the series, this game has a penalty system in the form of Truth Meter (a green health bar) Once the Truth Meter is completely empty, you will receive a Game Over in the form of a Bad End. I will describe each Bad End you can encounter, as each segment offers unique Game Over scenarios

Bad End - Failure here leads to Bad End 10, Alba leaves for the airport and your pursuit of the truth of this case ends there

And with that, here's Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth!

I love the mechanics in this game and the free roam investigation aspect was always so fun to me. I hope they bring it back for future AA games personally, though I know that's probably not gonna happen.

Anyways! This is probably the fastest guide I ever pumped out, and that was mostly because I wanted to get this done as soon as possible so it'll be there for people who are trying to shoot for 100% achievements like I am! I'll aim to have the AAI2 guide out (hopefully) by the end of this week, and then I'll only have the Apollo Justice Trilogy left!

As always, thanks for taking the time to read my guides and I hope they helped you out there in some way! If you have any criticisms, pointers for smoother explanation, or even just a general comment or question, please feel free to ask! I try to answer every question on my guides, but even if I don't answer to all of them I do read them all!

See you all for the Ace Attorney Investigations 2 guide!
