2. Look for Clues at the Scene: Investigate five key spots, including Sir Arthur's Pedestal, Unsealed Letter, Empty Bottle, Simple Button, and Footprints.

3. Help Paimon Sort Through the Evidence: Answer questions based on the gathered evidence, such as associating Messy Footprints with the disappearance of Sir Arthur.

4. Search for Traces of the Vagrant Rocher: Head to the pier, confront Rocher, and break his argument by interacting with Curve and the Freed Puppy.

5. Go Underwater to Search for the Blade: Use the Crab's ability to uncover a Waterstained Dinner Knife and advance the quest.

Act 2: The Red and the Black 

This act delves deeper into the mystery, requiring players to navigate covertly:

1. Find a Way to Distract the Crowd: Sneak onto the ship, investigate the cooking pot, and use the Leftover Poissonchant Pie to create a distraction.

2. Search for Evidence of the Crime: Explore three spots, including the Old Clockwork Locket, Dining Table with Tableware, and Diary of a Valiant Struggle.

3. Deduce the Order of Suspects' Arrival: Answer four questions correctly, determining the sequence in which Rocher, Baulard, Intrepid Valberry, and Kevin arrived at the scene.

Act 3: Questions and Answers

The final act ties up loose ends and concludes the quest:

1. Trigger the Final Act: Wait for one daily reset after completing act two and return to the Steambird to continue.

2. Look for the Newspaper's Item: Head to the marked spot, meet Kevin and Lombroso, and trigger the final act.

3. Give Useful Items to the Puppy: Choose Another Threatening Letter and progress through the quest, eventually handing over the Old Clockwork Locket.
