Lost Judgment – Extracting the Past

by Chappie in

 

In Lost Judgment, you’ll obtain the Extracting the Past side case automatically as part of the story. You’ll first need to destroy the guy after drinking the extract that you received. This will then launch into a tutorial about extract making. Next, you’ll need to get extract materials for new recipes. Bring Iyama mugwort, which you can collect from resource points around town. After you’ve obtained it, return to Iyama and hand it over to receive the Extract Recipe: Super Strength. As a reward, you’ll receive money and SP!
