Lost Judgment: Chapter 1 – Black Sheep Walkthrough

1 – Tail Kosuke

At the start of the game, you’ll learn the game basics of tailing someone but also how to fight.

The Red Square means you have to get there to start the cinematics to cross over into the next part of the story. Acting Casual is used to deflect your target’s attention, when he spots you while tailing. You can only use this option, when the target sees you. Otherwise it’s inactive at the center bottom.

After some cinematics, you will be asked to take a picture of Kosuke and a woman. Ready the camera and try to meet the requirements.

Here, you’ll need “In focus”, “Taken at max zoom” (use the controller sticks) and “Kosuke and woman both smiling”. For the last one, you just have to wait a bit until the box is ticked. Then take the picture.

While continuing to tail Kosuke, you will be recognised by “Street Punks” and you will be introduced to fighting with “Crane Style”.

Meet the these Tutorial Objectives to continue:
“Square” to Attack (9x)
