The Last Case of Benedict Fox Walkthrough Discussion

Please use this thread to discuss the The Last Case of Benedict Fox walkthrough.

Any progress report for this? This is one of those games I really just can't do without a guide.

An update for you all;
This is about 30-35% written. I don't want to give myself a deadline for finishing it though .
I'm playing through it as I go, so my achievement progression is roughly indicative of how far I am.
I did hit a bug that forced me to entirely start the game again, which hasn't helped, but it's certainly quicker to play through the game than it is to write and play at the same time.

Just ignore my playtime, as writing these walkthroughs takes a fair while .

Appreciate the update manic take your time and thanks for taking on this beast of a game for us all

A quick update, I'm about halfway through the walkthrough.

ManicMetalhead said:Awesome.

Nearly there.
Just on the last couple of bosses and the collectables cleanup.

I'd love to get this done by Christmas. That's what I'm aiming for but that may be a tight squeeze.

Turns out, not such a tight squeeze.
I've finished the walkthrough and sent it for review

Sweet. Can't wait for it to be approved.

The walkthrough has now been published.

You can find it here: The Last Case of Benedict Fox Walkthrough

If anyone finds any issues, please let me know here or send me a PM (or I’m on Discord too).
I caught a couple of times where I mixed up left and right which I’ve corrected, but there may be a couple more.

Hope you find it useful!

ManicMetalhead said:Hi Manic, thanks for the guide, just started using it today. Quick question though for clarity. I'm on the first page of the WT, just after defeating the librarian. At this point we're guided up the cage lift and relive a memory. We're then told to use the map and teleport to the Foyer

But when i attempt to do this, the game warns that i'll lose unsecured ink (which you mention earlier we have to secure at an anchor before teleporting)

So i've went back down to the librarian anchor to secure the ink and travel from there. If my train of thought is correct (and the ink does need secured), it might be best to adjust the WT to reflect securing the ink after defeating librarian so that we can then teleport after reliving the memory

Hope that makes sense and please correct me if my train of thought was wrong (wouldn't be the first time)

VOODOO85 said:That sounds better!
I’ll make that change.
On my first run of the game, I had a game breaking bug around this stage so had to completely start over on a fresh save, I’m guessing I missed this bit while getting back to the same spot I was in!
Thank you

Once again, thanks for the guide Manic, just finished with 1000G. Guide was great with good use of screenshots and maps etc

Couple things i noticed though that may be worth an update:

In part 5, just after the 'Master Garrett' achievement unlock, the instructions read "Continue right until you're forced to stop and have a conversation. When you regain control, go further left for another scene."

This should be "When you regain control, go further right for another scene"

---------------------------------------------------

In part 6, just after picking up the Tarot (Death) card, we're told to "Enter the lift and take it to the top" and then to "Climb up left and use the moving platforms to reach the upper left exit. Travel along until you reach the Salon anchor"

When using the moving platforms, it's the upper right exit we need to head to. This is the same section of moving platforms that are described in part 3 (i've included the section from part 3 in the spoiler tag below)



---------------------------------------------------

Finally, in part 7 (and just after unlocking "Everything is connected" achievement), we're told we'll have to explore the house and to go back upstairs, in the room to the right and interact with the piano

For some reason, there was no interaction prompt for me. I tried going down to the gramophone (the next thing to interact with) but again no interaction point. There was a voice speaking in the background so i thought that might need to finish it's dialogue first but after a while i could tell the voice was actually the radio next to Harry. I turned this off and as soon as i did, i could hear piano keys making a noise.

I went back upstairs and into the room with the piano and sure enough, i could now interact with it and carry on without issue

Perhaps this is a bug unique to me or perhaps you'd turned the radio off at some point already and that is a requirement (which would admittedly seem strange) but might be worth a note in the WT for others)

---------------------------------------------------


Anyway, thanks once again for the great guide. Awesome job

VOODOO85 said:Perfect, thank you for these, I was expecting a couple of directional issues and that last one I must have not realised it was necessary!
I’ll get these added as soon as I can, glad you found it useful otherwise!
Thanks again
