Once you gain control of Yuma, head forward down the hall. After the cutscene, you’ll reunite with Kurumi. When you gain control of Yuma again, return to the shack to find the Memory Shard – Going Home Cuz I’m Scared… on the bookshelf in the hallway.
To continue the story, follow the path around the house and interact with the person in the yellow raincoat. Afterwards, Yuma will run away. When you gain control of him, make sure to grab the Memory Shard – This Won’t Fit in the Mail from the desk. Next, interact with the envelope then speak with Kurumi about the rumor. Once again you’ll need to escape. Follow the path until a cutscene triggers. When it ends, follow the path to the northeastern side of the village where you’ll find the priest from the Nail Man case. Speak with him then successfully press the quick time event prompts while escaping.
After you fall down the long hill, you’ll be in a construction site. Examine the Memory Shard – Treasure at the Construction Site! right in front of it then enter the building.
When you gain control of Yuma, pass by the conveyor belts and enter the next room. After a brief cutscene, continue through the factory. To get away from the zombies… Use sound. Head forward a short ways then interact with the tablet on the ground.
With the zombies distracted, head forward and interact with the bones. Once the cutscene ends, continue making your way through the factory. Once again you’ll have to distract the zombies using the robot then interact with the remains on the floor. Continue with the guided tour until you reach Fake Zilch. He’ll reveal more information.
Kurumi will then disappear and you’ll begin your search for her. Head down the stairs to find a tablet on the ground. Activate it then interact with the remains the zombies were munching on. You’ll see a mysterious figure on the stairs so follow it.
You’ll follow the figure out of the building and down a tunnel. Eventually you’ll reach a destroyed gate. Interact with this gate to enter the underground facility.
Follow the corridor to reach Dr. Huesca and speak with him. When you regain control, continue heading deeper into the facility. In the control room, speak with the man wearing a white suit. Afterwards, continue following the path. Once the cutscene ends, return to the Factory.
Inside the factory continue with the rest of the tour. Note that you can speak with Fink the Slaughter Artist for some optional dialog / insight into what happened. You’ll find him at a dead end before the corpse of Fubuki. After you inspect the corpse, speak with Kurumi. Speak with her again when you’re ready to proceed. After witnessing the truth, head through the door to enter the refrigerator. Inspect the corpse’s packet to gain more knowledge. Leave the refrigerator and exit the factory.
Follow the path and cross over the red bridge. Look to your right to find the Memory Shard – Beyond the Red Bridge on a rock. Continue forward a short way. Just before you reach the building, look to your left to find the Memory Shard – Princess Kaguya in the Bamboo Grove in the bamboo.

Welcome to our walkthrough for Ch. 1 – The Nail Man Killings in Master Detective Archives: Rain Code! Yuma has been given his first task! To track down the 5 Master Detectives and convince them to head into the agency so they can start their first official meeting. Follow along to witness what shenanigans poor Yuma gets dragged into this time!
Before doing anything, you can interact with the below objects to receive more Detective Points. When you’re ready, head to the kitchen in the back of the agency and wash that sleepy face! While you’re at it, why don’t you make the Chief a hearty breakfast and serve it to him, too! This will lead to a cutscene where Yuma will receive his first task. Leave the agency when you’re ready to set out.
After leaving the sub, Shinigami will point out a blue orb on the ground in a doorway. Make your way over to it then examine the object to receive a Memory Shard – First Step (Yakou). Head down the hallway and up the stairs at the end to reach the Kamaski District.
From this point on the game opens up and you can start to travel freely between the areas you’ve unlocked. Since Kanai Ward is a big place, we’re going to assume that you’ll be exploring as you go and won’t be listing each object you can interact with or people you can speak with to earn Detective Points. We will however bring up any things of interest such as Memory Shards that are in an area along with listing the area you’ll have access to explore (see list below). Happy Investigating!
Available Areas
Memory Shards
When you’re done exploring the area, make your way to the Sun & Moon Hotel at the southwestern corner of the area to progress the story.
Memory Shard
Once inside the hotel, complete the actions listed below to view a couple of cutscenes.
During the first one, you’ll be given two choices: She hates the protagonist and She likes the protagonist. Pick whichever choice you want as they don’t really matter. The only thing that changes is the dialogue and it’s only a couple of lines. After leaving the restaurant, the next cutscene that plays will introduce the concept of Requests. Before you can progress the story, you’ll need to complete the Detective Work? request from Vivia. Once that’s done exit the hotel to trigger a cutscene.
To kick things off, the game will introduce you to Bus Travel which is how you fast travel in the game. You’ll then be able to explore the Ginma District.
Requests
Memory Shards
When you’re ready to progress the story, head across the street from the bus stop then follow the sidewalk east to reach the Clocktower.
Approach the crowd to trigger a cutscene sending you back to the Ginma District. You’ll need to speak with the three people marked on the map. Once you do an event will trigger taking you back to the Clocktower. Approach the crowd again for another cutscene. When you finally regain control of Yuma, interact with the nearby tablet device on the ground to receive your first Solution Key. Next head inside the Clocktower.
Once inside the Clocktower, take the stairs up until you reach the 3rd floor and then enter the door on the left of the hallway. This will trigger a cutscene leading to the start of the investigation. Examine the objects listed below to receive more Solution Keys.
After interacting with the above objects, end the investigation and then exit the room for a cutscene. You can now leave the Clocktower.
Back outside, follow the boy to the back of the Clocktower. If you go past him, you’ll find a Memory Shard – The Kids’ Secret Hangout Spot on the ground by the big tree. Speak with the boy to receive another Solution Key then head back to the front of the Clocktower to trigger another cutscene. When it ends, pass through the hole in the wall and make your way back to the Ginma District.
Time to swallow what little pride we have and ask Halara for help. She can be found at the cafe in the southwestern part of the area. Doing so will kick off another cutscene. When it concludes, return to the Nocturnal Detective Agency.
After you regain control of Yuma, follow the path to reach the Kamasaki District then take the northeastern exit to arrive at the church. There you’ll want to speak with all four individuals. Once you’re done with that, the four options listed below will pop up and you’ll able to ask each question to the group.
Once you’ve made it through all four questions, Yuma and his helpful assistant will discuss their next steps. When prompted select the Secret club in Kamasaki District. Before setting out for the club, if you head to the left side of the church you can find a Memory Shard – Even Crows Want to Pray (Vivia).
Head back to the Kamasaki District the go to the club in the center of the area. Once you’re inside, speak to Halara, Shinigami then Halara again. This will begin another investigation. Inspect the items listed below.
When you’re done checking out the crime scene, end the investigation.
Your next stop on this crazy murder trail is in the Ginma District. Make your way over there then follow along the northwestern alley to reach Montclair Street. Before heading to the mansion, there is a request here you can complete first.
Requests
When you’re ready, approach the mansion gate to trigger a cutscene.
Enter the mansion to kick off another event. As always, listed below are the objects you can interact with. Follow Halara down the hallway to gain access to the crime scene.
After examining all of the listed objects, end the investigation to trigger an event then leave the mansion.
Our final stop is the location of the third killing: the Art Gallery in the southwestern part of the Ginma District. Make your way there and approach the entrance to trigger a cutscene. Head down the hallway and speak with Halara to gain access to the crime scene which will kick off an investigation.
After examing the above objects, end the investigation to trigger a quick dialog event. Exit the room and head to the Rear Area of the Art Gallery. Once there make your way over to the window and examine it. This will trigger a cutscene where you’ll be prompted with two choices: A Peacekeeper and A Detective. Choose the A Peacekeeper option then speak with the staff member for another cutscene.
Having concluded your investigation, your next objective will be to hightail it back to the agency. Please note that once you reach the outside of the agency in Kamasaki District, the game will prompt you that it will be some time until you are able to leave. If you have any remaining requests or Memory Shards to find, now might be a good time to start/finish them up.
When you’re ready to progress the story, travel to the Nocturnal Detective Agency. Upon reaching the agency a cutscene dialog event triggers leading to the main event!!!
A MYSTERY LABYRINTH!!! You know the drill. Follow the long path until you reach the doorway at the end and head through it. This will trigger a cutscene. When it concludes interact with the tree that has a #4 on it to enter the fourth locked room.
Select the window on the right side of the room to trigger an event. The game will also provide a new tutorial on dealing with continuous attacks giving you the opportunity to try it out right away. When the phantom launches his first statement, counter it using the first prompt. The rest of the answers can be found in the table below!
Statement | Rebuttal |
---|---|
What traces did using the rope leave behind? | Marks on two dolls under window |
What were the rope’s burnt remains originally? | Rope ladder |
Next up is a Reasoning Death Match! The below table has the statement to keep an eye out for and the Solution Key to rebuttal it with!
Inflammable Statement | Solution Key |
---|---|
And escaped via the rope ladder | [Clocktower] Fear of Heights |
Following the Reasoning Death Match, you’ll be placed on a red carpet. Follow it to the altar and interact with the chest on it to receive a new Solution Key.
Now you’ll be back in the forest and will be given the opportunity to choose whichever room you want. We’re going to go with #3, so head to the tree with #3 on it to head to the third locked room. Once you’re there, the spot selection will kick off. You’ll want to select the red door which is the main entrance to the room. When asked by Halara, leave the room via the newly opened red door to be sent behind the building. After some dialog with Shinigami, you’ll be prompted with the question: Was the key thrown in by the culprit? and will have the option to select “Yes”. Instead of doing that let the time run out to move on to the next objective!
Now it’s time for a new mini-game where you’ll be tasked with recreating the crime scene. Perform the following tasks:
After solving the puzzle, you’ll be sent back to the room with the altar. Head down the red carpet and interact with the chest. You won’t receive a Solution Key!
For our third choice, we’re going with tree #2! Approach this tree and interact with the door to enter the second locked room. Interact with the door when prompted with the question of how did the culprit escape. You’ll then need to solve the mystery of what happened to the key. Select Thrown in!
After solving the previous Spot Selection, you’ll need to solve a Shinigami puzzle for how the corpse was moved. The question is The culprit used a _ _ _ _ _ _ to move the body. Choose the letters S – T – R – I – N – G.
After solving Shinigami’s puzzle, a Reasoning Death Match occurs.
Infammable Statement | Solution Key |
---|---|
Shows no sign it was ever moved… | [Mansion] Bloodstains on Corpse |
Immediately following the Reasoning Death Match, you’ll have to take on 3 phantoms at once while deducing how the key got under the corpse. Below are the statements and their corresponding answers for this fight!
Statement | Answers |
---|---|
What position was the corpse in before it was moved? | Upper body sitting up |
What was used to sit the body upright? | A thin string |
Why was the corpse lying on its back at the time of discovery? | The string was retrieved |
With all the pieces to the puzzle, we can now recreate the crime scene. Perform the following tasks:
Once the locked room has been solved, you’ll be transported back to the altar where you can open the chest to find a new Solution Key!
Last up is the first locked room! Head to tree #1 to enter this room. When asked where did the culprit flee from, select the vent above the corpse!
Reasoning Death Match! You know what to do!!
Infammable Statement | Solution key |
---|---|
There’s no foothold to use to reach it. | [Secret Club] Nails Beneath Vent |
Once you solve this puzzle, you’ll be transported back to the room with the chest. Open it to receive a Solution Key!
When you’ve solved all the locked rooms, head through the newly revealed doorway then follow the hallway. At the end, you’ll come to a room where a cutscene triggers. In this room, you’ll need to determine who the Nail Man is! Select the Priest!!!
This selection will of course lead to a Reasoning Death Match!!
Infammable Statement | Solution Key |
---|---|
The Nail Man is the worshipper | Persons with Access to Incinerator |
The servant was able to commit the crimes! | Thin Person |
The nun was absolutely able to commit the crimes! | [Mansion] Fishing Line Locked-Room |
Of course there’s no evidence! | [Clocktower] Suspicious Footprints |
After you finish the Reasoning Death Match, you’ll return to the area with the 4 trees. In order to move forward, you’ll need to complete a Shinigami Puzzle. For this puzzle, you’ll need to choose the locked room that was different. The answer is the Third Locked Room! After you select the correct barrel, you’ll be presented with the following question: This locked room is different from the others because of the victim’s _ _ _ _ _? The answer is D – E – A – T – H! Afterwards, follow along the newly opened path.
From the previous path, you’ll be sent to a long hallway. Follow it through the door at the end to come across a new question of Why was the cause of death made to look like strangulation? Head through the door that says The work of a copycat. This will allow you to proceed further into the mystery dungeon.
At the end of the current path, you’ll reach a dungeon area with all 4 culprits inside. The copycat killer is the Worshipper!
Next up is a Reasoning Death Match as you might have guessed!
Infammable Statement | Solution Key |
---|---|
Anyone could’ve done it | Non-Public Information |
After winning the match, you’ll need to chase after the worshipper by running up the long set of stairs.
At the top, you’ll reach the phantom’s fort. Charge at the fortress kicking balls, tackling through walls and jumping over the spikes. As you go you’ll come across walls with phrases that you’ll need to use a solution key on. These solutions can be found below.
Phrase | Solution Key |
---|---|
You didn’t even check the crime scenes back then! | About Halara’s Forte |
What you saw is only what I saw the moment the corpse was discovered! | [Art Gallery Storage] Paint on Floor |
With all the mysteries solved, it’s time to put everything together. To solve how the whole crime played out, you’ll need to create the book. The table below lists which Solution Key goes on which page. When you’re done a scene will play out going through the whole incident.
Page | Solution |

Welcome to our walkthrough for Ch. 0 Massacre on the Amaterasu Express in Master Detective Archives: Rain Code! Our hero Yuma awakens in a strange room with no memory of who he is or what he’s doing there. With only a note and ticket for passage on a train, Yuma heads for the train in hopes of figuring out what’s going on.
Select whichever difficulty you’d like as it does not matter. All will result in the same outcome! When you gain control of Yuma Kokohead, interact with the items listed below in the storage room to earn 10 Detective Points each. After that, you are free to go outside via the door.
Once you’re in the hallway, Yuma will reflect on the room he was just in and you’ll be presented with three choices. Choose the Station’s Lost and Found option to receive 30 Detective Points, increasing your Detective Rank to 2.
After a brief cutscene, Yuma will find his way aboard the Amaterasu Express. You’ll then be shown a tutorial on how the notebook works and given the main objective to find the Master Detectives in the train. Start by Interacting with the below objects on the train car to get 10 Detective Points from each one and fully explore Car 1.
When you’re done, approach the connecting door at the southern end of the car to trigger a cutscene.
Hurray! You found the other Master Detectives! When you regain control of Yuma, speak with the people listed below.
After getting to know your fellow detectives, Yuma will be presented with three choices:
Select each one to learn a little more about the situation and they will also reward you with 10 Detective Points each.
After another cutscene, Yuma will ask himself who is the most suspicious person on the train. You’ll only get to pick one and each choice rewards 10 Detective Points which should get you to Detective Rank 3. The choice doesn’t matter so pick who you want (I chose Yuma).
To wrap things up speak with Zange to learn more about his Forte. Now make your way to the infirmary in Car 1.
Approach the infirmary to trigger an event where you’ll be introduced to the Objective Display 2 tutorial. After being tasked with finding the key to the infirmary, proceed down the hall and into the restroom to trigger an event. Before leaving, make sure to interact with the objects below in the restroom to earn 10 more Detective Points for each object (you already examined them but do it again!).
When you’re ready, leave the restroom then approach the infirmary to trigger a cutscene. To investigate the scene, explore the following to get 10 Detective Points for each one:
Now that you’ve examined the scene, leave the infirmary and head back to Car 2.
After the shocking turn of events in Car 2, you’ll need to examine the crime scene. Check each of the below to earn yourself 10 Detective Points for each one.
Once you’ve examined everything, make your way to Car 3.
When in Car 3, continue your investigation by examining the items below.
When you’re done, proceed to the next train car.
Once in this car, continue exploring.
When you’ve explored this train car, head to the next one to trigger a cutscene.
Once inside this car, examine the below!
After you get to the end of the car, the investigation will finish and a cutscene triggers. During the cutscene, you’ll be introduced to the Danger Dodge. Successfully perform the quick time events by pressing the correct prompts to continue fleeing.
When you make it off the train, another cutscene triggers. After it ends, you’ll find yourself in the Mystery Labyrinth leading to another cutscene.
During the cutscene, you’ll earn Solution Keys and will also receive a tutorial on the Playable Loop. When you regain control of Yuma, Shinigami will task you with solving the Amaterasu Express mystery!
Start off by following along the long unending hallway until another cutscene triggers leading to a Reasoning Death Match. You’ll need to dodge the word coming at you until the phrase You’re the only one who could’ve done the crime! shows up. Rebuttal it to counter the statement (the game will load the Inflammable Statement for you this time). You’ll then have to go through another round of dodging words until And only pretended to drink it! shows up. Rebuttal it with the Thoughtography Image solution key. This will bring a close to the Reasoning Death Match.
Continue to head down the hallway to trigger an event when you reach the door. You’ll come to a fork in the road so to speak and be introduced to the Mystery Labyrinth Options mechanic. The question presented to Yuma will be Was the culprit one of the six?. The door to the left will say “Yes” and the door to the right will say “No”. You’ll want to head through the door that says Yes.
Congratulations! You’ve chosen the right door and your prize is ANOTHER REASONING DEATH MATCH!!! The table below has the Inflammable Statements you’ll get in order going top down with which Solution Key you’ll need to use to rebuttal the claim. Counter both statements with the Solution Key to emerge victorious!
Inflammable Statement | Solution Key |
---|---|
You must have had an accomplice! | Testimonies of Two Detectives |
You secretly stopped the train and let your partner board! | Operation Log |
Once again continue heading down the long hallway passing through the doorway at the end. This will trigger another event leading to your second fork in the road posing the question Everyone was dead, so how did the culprit pull it off?. Follow Shinigami to the right door then head over to the left. This will trigger another event where Shinigami will lead you through the correct door! Proceed down the hallway (let’s see how many different ways I can say that!) until another event triggers introducing the concept of Dead Ends. After another event, you’ll be placed back at the fork. Head through the Commit suicide after the crime door.
Venture on down the correct hallway until yet another event occurs. Yuma will fall through the floor landing in a mine cart that will take off speeding down the track. You’ll then be asked a series of questions that you’ll need to answer correctly to continue the investigation. Those questions and their answers are listed in the table below. Answering all the questions correctly will bring you to the goal!
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Who was the last person to die during this incident? | The Culprit |
Who set fire to the dead culprit? | The Culprit |
Who was the last person to be burned to death? | Zilch |
After another cutscene plays out, you’ll be given two options: “Open the conclusion door” or Demolish the conclusion door. You’ll want to follow Yuma’s gut and choose the latter option to demolish the door. This will lead to one last Reasoning Death Match where you’ll be introduced to the Noise mechanic which obstructs your vision of the statement. You’ll need to use the Solution Balde to cut through them. You’ll also get a capped bonus for each Noise you destroy. With that in mind, use the below table to finally take down the Mystery Phantom Swank. Also note that in each round, there will be multiple Inflammable Statements, but only one is Rebuttable.
Inflammable Statement | Solution Key |
---|---|
Died of Immolation | Knife in Corpse |
Y-yeah! It was to knock himself out! | Coffee in Dining Car |
Thanks to Shingami’s punch to the face, you have a chance to re-examine the Infirmary from Car 1 on the train. Inspect the two items below to gain a pair of new Solutions Keys.
With this new evidence, Shinigami will start her puzzle game to help Yuma with the case. You’ll be given a question and have to fill in the missing letters hangman style before the time runs out. The letters you’ll want are as follow: R – E – D. This will solve the puzzle and you’ll now be able to loot the treasure chest for a new Solution Key! Now backtrack to the “wrong end” from before. After a short time, you’ll be given two options (Z*OM and EV*C) and Shinigami will teleport you back there to save time. Pick whatever option you would like to continue.
Finally nearing the end! This final section is kicked off by introducing the Solution Key Selection mechanic where you’ll need to use the correct Solution Key to open the door to the truth!! Interact with the door and choose the Red Herring Solution Key to break the lock. Head through and follow the new path…
…until it starts to fall apart and Yuma must jump onto different floating stones to reach safety! Answer the questions correctly as you go to reach the other side triggering an event.
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Was what Yuma saw through the window actually Zilch? | Yes |
Was the burnt corpse in Car 1 actually Zilch? | No |
Zilch swapped places with the corpse in the infirmary… | Before Yuma entered |
You’ll now be introduced to the Spot Selection mechanic where Yuma will have to deduce where the corpse was hidden. You’ll want to select under the sheet on the bed. This will return you to the hallway for another cutscene which leads to…
A REASONING DEATH MATCH!!! There is only one round this time and the Inflammable Statement you want will be the third one. After rebutting it, you’ll win this Reasoning Death Match and being climbing up a ladder.
Inflammable Statement | Solution Key |
---|---|
There was no corpse to replace anyway! | Aphex’s Corpse |
When you reach the top, you’ll find yourself on top of the train. Chase after Zilch until you reach the end of the train. This will trigger another event placing you on the track. Follow along the track until you reach the fork where you’ll be presented with a question: When moving the body from Car 1 to Car 5, the culprit… You’re two answers are “Moved through the train” or “Did not move through the train”. You’ll want to choose the Moved through the train option. Know what comes next?
Yep! A REASONING DEATH MATCH!!! You know what to do!
Inflammable Statement | Solution Key |
---|---|
No issues occurred during the train’s operation… | Blackout and Shaking |
The blackout was just a bad contact! | Backup Control System |
