Investigation Phase

The Investigation Phase in Danganronpa 2×2 is your opportunity to gather crucial evidence and understand the circumstances surrounding each murder. As a high school student thrust into this life-or-death situation, your primary goal is to meticulously examine every environment for clues. This includes interacting with objects, examining crime scenes, and most importantly, engaging in conversations with your fellow students. Each piece of information you uncover can be vital for the upcoming Class Trial. For instance, in Chapter 2, you might find the first Monokuma on the water of Chandler Beach, floating in a little dingy. This specific discovery is a key piece of evidence that needs to be logged in your investigation log.

During this phase, you'll also be collecting "Truth Bullets," which are essentially pieces of evidence or statements that you can use to counter arguments during the Class Trials. It is imperative to speak with every character present in a location, as their testimonies can offer different perspectives or reveal hidden motives. Pay attention to any inconsistencies in their stories, as these often point towards the culprit. The DanganRonpa 2: Goodbye Despair wiki guide has a full walkthrough of the game, and also has information on the characters in the game, which can be invaluable for understanding their personalities and potential secrets. Remember that the goal is not just to find evidence, but to understand the narrative and the relationships between the students, as this context is crucial for solving the murder.
