Law & Order (3) : Justice is Served

Walkthrough

Len Green      1st  October 2004     lengreen@hotmail.com

FOREWORD :-

( Particularly for those who have played previous L&O games ! )

          I would like to thank Legacy Interactive, and in particular Christina Oliver for their cooperation and assistance.

L&O-3 is considerably different from the previous 2 games of the series.  IMHO, it has been greatly improved in many ways (this is not to imply that the previous versions were not good games!  Each one of the series has been a great improvement on the previous game.  Several justified criticisms from players have been absorbed & corrected by the Developers, to their credit … not every Company is so considerate !).

          It is VERY much longer and hence more complex.  There are around a dozen and a half actual ‘traditional’ puzzles of varying degrees of difficulty … mostly not all that hard.

          The interface and general game mechanisms are substantially the same, but have been altered, streamlined, and improved greatly.  I shall not describe any of these improvements, or their functioning, since these are ALL explained in the manual.

            Please note that this walkthrough may be subject to slight changes if the game is updated !

PREFACE :-

{A}   This walkthrough describes the absolute MINIMUM actions only which you must take in order to succeed … 1 or 2 non-essentials may have crept in by mistake! 

However, please don’t use this walkthrough unless you absolutely have to.  Many items, actions, and conversation topics which are not absolutely essential have been omitted.  A lot of these are interesting and provide much of the background story to the game.

“Warning” :-  The main purpose of this game is to examine clues, interview witnesses & suspects, etc.  Some of these actions are essential, but many are fruitless or even red herrings … as in real life investigations. 

If you simply take this walkthrough in your hand and follow exactly what to do & not to do, you can probably finish the game relatively quickly. This would completely defeat its whole purpose!

{B}   The object of the first part of L&O_3 is for you to assist the detectives (Lennie Briscoe & Ed Green [no relative J] ) to arrest the correct suspect.  Until you succeed in this you cannot advance to the second part of the game … the trial.

            In the second part of L&O_3, you help the Assistant District Attorney (A.D.A. … Serena Southerlyn) to obtain a “Guilty” verdict at the subsequent trial of your suspect.  This part is more complex since it consists of several watertight consecutive sections which will be described fully at the beginning of part-2.

          Incidentally, you CAN get scores of 100% … but this is not essential to complete the game fully and successfully !

{C}   At some stage(s) in the game you may need to review exactly what you have done (&/or not done).  All essential actions which have been performed are recorded in your log book.

{D}   You should NOT  have to follow the identical order of interviewing characters or accessing locations as described in this walkthrough.  Some locations of course will not appear on the map until you have completed certain tasks, and so a particular order is sometimes essential.

{E}   In order to see the whole map, don’t forget to scroll it down or up (see the right hand side of the map !)

{F}   The inventory structure of L&O-3 is quite a bit different from the previous 2 L&O games.

                   In particular, please note the following :-

          Your inventory is present all the time near the bottom of the screen.  It is actually FOUR separate inventories :- from left to right, and using my personal terminology ……….       

‘persons-inventory’; ‘objects-inventory’; ‘documents-inventory; & ‘reports-inventory’. 

When you PICK UP any object (hand icon), it is automatically placed into the appropriate one of the abovementioned inventories (which glows for a short while whilst it is entered).  If you do NOT  deliberately  pick it up, it will not be there of course.

{G}   You very frequently have to obtain assistance from the various police departments.  To do this, you have to drag an appropriate item from one of the aforementioned inventories (at the bottom of the screen) into one of 4 ‘submission’ folders and then submit.  These folders are (from top to bottom) :-  (i) Lab(oratory) ; (ii) Research ; (iii) Surveillance ; (iv) Psych.(ological) Eval.(uation).

To access these 4 folders you have to travel on the map to the “27th Precinct” in part-1 of the game, and to the “District Attorney” in part-2 of the game.

Results for (ii) & (iii) above are obtained from the “27th Precinct”, (i) from the “Crime Lab”) and (iv) from the Psychiatrist.

{H}  From time to time, particularly if you’re stuck, access the cell phone for voice mail, phone calls you can make, and assistance from your Supervisors.  If you wish to know whether you are ready to obtain a warrant or subpoena etc., access your cell-phone and ask your Supervisor who will tell you ( generally correctly J ).

          If the voice mail contains any incoming calls, it means that you should go to the appropriate place to receive info that you asked for earlier.

After you have requested help (from ‘Records & Research’, ‘Surveillance’, ‘Crime Lab’, or ‘Psychiatrist’), the results will not be available instantaneously, but generally after you have visited only one (usually, ANY) location.

{I}    ‘ACTIONS’ and  PUZZLES  :-

*** denotes ‘actions’ of various types.

+++ denotes puzzles.

+++ The solutions of all puzzles will be given in graduated form [1], [2], [3], etc., so that the player who is stuck may quite probably only need to read the first one or two hints, rather than an immediate final spoiler (… which will be printed so that it is less easy to read !).

As far as possible, the puzzle solutions will be described textually so as not to provide immediate spoilers.  But in some cases this is impossible due to randomization, or insufficient accuracy.

Therefore quite a number of graphics have been added to some puzzles.  These graphics are ALL concentrated at the very end of this walkthrough.

Wherever a graphic is available, it is (internally) linked to its appropriate puzzle (generally at its end).

{J}   In general, SAVE FREQUENTLY.  It is very easy to make a wrong or redundant move!  

You have 11 save-slots.  If you like, you can save batches of up to 11 ‘permanently’ (zipping if you like) before overwriting … for the next batch of 11.

to fit exceptionally closely).

          [3]  If you have not succeeded, double click the pieces to flip them

over.

[4]  It transpires that there is more than one note … or maybe the

two sides of the same note ??

          [5]  Concentrate on one side (or note) ONLY !  (Only one of the 2 sides is described below … you can just as well assemble the other side instead if you prefer !)

          [6]  The width (horizontal) is only roughly 80% the length of the

‘height’ (vertical).

          [7]  ‘Isolate’ the 4 corners, and start with them.

          [8]  The top left hand corner contains the word “Elena”.

          [9]  The top right hand corner contains the words “about this”.

          [10] The bottom right hand corner contains the words, one beneath

the other, “have” & “all”.

          [11] The bottom left hand corner contains the word “to” … N.B. its

flip (‘incorrect’) side consists of the word “Rodrigo”.

[12] Isolate the (only) 2 pieces which have a horizontal straight

edge. 

[13] The one containing the words “be nice” fills the gap at the top

… the other, containing the word “and”, fills the gap at the bottom.

[14] If you’ve got this far, your letter should look like ‘Graphic-1’ … link to the end of this walkthrough.

[15] It should now be easy to complete the whole letter (both pages)

which should read as in the link to ‘Graphic-2’ at the end of this walkthrough.

*** Read the assembled (2 page) letter, and ‘take’ it (i.e.  add it to the ‘documents-inventory’).

*** View the locked music box … a keepsake from back home.

*** Play some notes and notice the musical note-letters appearing above (A; B; D~sharp; etc., etc.)

          PARROT  PUZZLE.

+++   [1] What would a parrot want (that you can supply)?

          [2] Something to eat maybe?

[3] Give the parrot some crackers (drag them from your ‘objects-inventory’).

*** Open the locked music box.

LOCKED  MUSIC  BOX  PUZZLE.

+++   [1] Have you memorized the tune that the parrot squawked?

          [2] If not, get the parrot to repeat the tune as often as you need.

[3] Play the melody that the parrot squawked.

[4] It only consists of 9 notes.

[5] I found that the difficult part was in determining the pitch of the first note only.

[6] This first note is ‘C-sharp’.

[7] If you have troubles with musical puzzles for any reason, look at the musical note-letters appearing above the keys after you have entered all 9 notes.

[8] Observe the background colors of these musical note-letters.

[9] If they are green, those notes are correct.  If they are mauve, those notes are incorrect, and next time you must change these (only).

you will have to fill them in by pattern recognition … it is not difficult.

differs each time … so no purely written solution can be supplied.

          [5] If you have difficulty, link through to ‘Graphic-3’.

*** Enter the adjoining room.

*** Get Briscoe to move boxes so that he can get to the middle of the other (right) side of the room to grab the battery.

BOXES  PUZZLE.

+++   [1] This is not an easy puzzle but not a terribly difficult one either. 

If you get stuck, follow the instructions below.  ( N.B. There are MANY other solutions … & most probably, better, much shorter and more efficient ones!).  The following is just one possible procedure.

          [2] Draw a grid of 7 squares width, & 5 squares height, representing the area concerned.  Each box is represented by one square, but 3 crates occupy 2 squares each & 2 large crates occupy 3 squares each.

Label the squares from the left bottom corner upwards ‘A’ thro’ ‘E’, and from the left bottom corner to the right ‘1’ thro’ ‘7’.

Briscoe starts in the empty square “B1”.

[3] Most of the time you will be dragging boxes and in the ONLY

DIRECTION that they can move.  This will be denoted simply as “C3” for example … meaning that you drag the box standing on the square C3 (in the only direction that the box on C3 can move).  Crates (double or triple squares) will be designated for example as “A5+B5+C5”. 

Occasionally, a box or crate can be moved in 2 directions.  This will be marked as U(p), D(own), R(ight), or L(eft) :-  e.g.  “C4~R” would mean … move the box on C4 to the right (and not to any other ‘accessible’ direction).

[4] From time to time Briscoe can move, and a circular icon

indicates the square where you want him to move TO.  As an example {B4} means that you want Briscoe to move ONTO square B4.

          [5] From Briscoe’s starting position, make the following moves …....

“D5”; “A5+B5+C5”; “D2”; “D3”; “B3+C3”; “B2”; “A2”; “A3+A4~L”; “B4”; “A4~R”; “B3”; “B2”; {B2}; “A1”; “A2+A3~L”; “B3”; {B3}; “B4”; {B4}; “A3”; “A4”; “B3”; “A3”.

Link through to ‘Graphic-5’.

[6] “A5”; “A4~L”; “A6”; “A5~L”; “A7”; “A6~L”; “B6”; “B7~D”;

“C6+C7”; “D6”; “E6”; “E5”.

         Link through to ‘Graphic-6’.

[7] “B5+C5+D5”; “B6+B7”; “A7”; “B7~U”; “A6”; “A5”; “A7”;

“A6~R”; “B5+B6”; {B5}; “A4”; “A5+ A6”; “A7”; “B7~D”; “{B6}”; “{B7}”; “C6”; “C7”; “{C7}”.

        Link through to ‘Graphic-7’. 

*** View & take the battery.

*** Exit the location.  (To do this, click on the semi circular exit arrow at the bottom left hand corner of the screen.  However, if you so wish, you can return by moving the boxes in the same sort of way to that in which you arrived. But this is completely unnecessary !).

*** You are back in the dark living room.

*** Look at the flashlight again and drag the battery onto it.

*** Take the flashlight … now you can see other items in the room.

*** View the article (A cut out from a newspaper … about the assault on Elena Kusarova.).

          LOCKED  CABINET  PUZZLE.

+++   [1] Click on any 2 letters and they interchange positions.

          [2] There are 12 letters and 2 blanks.

          [3] Presumably this is an anagram ……

          [4] …… probably of something easy for Peter Hamlin to remember.

          [5] Suppose you only ‘use’ ONE of the blanks i.e. making only 2 words instead of 3 ?

          [6] The superfluous blank can go at the beginning, the end, or

between the 2 words … but there must be (at least) 1 blank between them.

          [7] What is Peter constantly fantasizing about ?

          [8] The 2 words are … CLAIRE  THOMAS .
