Awakening in a junkyard, the protagonist discovers that they are dead and unable to possess organic material. A stranger is in danger from a shotgun-wielding assassin, and it's up to the player to save her. This guide will provide a detailed walkthrough of this opening puzzle and the initial content of the point-and-click game.
How to Solve Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective Chapter One
In Chapter One, the player wakes up in a junkyard and realizes their newfound abilities to possess objects and communicate with others. However, they soon learn that their powers have limitations. The first task is to save the stranger from the assassin.
The player starts by possessing a crossing gate near them to knock the gun out of the assassin's hands. Next, they possess a guitar on the ground and strum the strings to distract the gunman. Then, they move to a tire and roll it over the base of a mannequin, causing it to stand upright.
Returning to their body, the player discovers that they cannot possess organic material. After a cutscene, they activate a thought bubble and enter the Ghost World. By jumping through nearby objects, they reach a cot above them. Leaving the Ghost World, they unfold the cot and possess a lamp to gain access to the area above.
Using the mannequin, the player can reach the area above and possess the body to the right, which takes them back in time four minutes before the girl's death. The player observes the events as they originally occurred and finds themselves at the bottom-right of the junkyard. They use the lamp to reach the area above and roll the tire over the base of the mannequin, causing it to stand upright.
Utilizing the mannequin, the player accesses a refrigerator, opens it, and causes a blender to fall out. They close the fridge and jump to the blender, turning it on. Then, they turn on the fan on the left and quickly jump to the flag before the breeze starts flowing.
The flag hits its rope into the blender, raising it to the area where the assassin and the girl are located. When the assassin hears the blender, he fires a shot at the girl. A cutscene triggers, and the player enters the Ghost World as soon as it ends to stop the timer.
Possessing the bell of a bike, the player rings it to distract the assassin. They can then move to the bike's pedals and make them move to give chase. When the bike comes to a stop, the player pulls the lever above them and moves to the ladder on the right. They extend the ladder and use it to reach the claw holding the wrecking ball, which they drop on the assassin, eliminating him and saving the girl.
After returning to the present and concluding a conversation with Ray, the player enters the handlebars of a bicycle and shakes them to move down a cable. They open the umbrella to drop down to the girl's location and stay in the umbrella as she carries it down to their body.
Once the girl pulls a note from the player's pocket, they enter the Ghost World to read it. They wait for her to answer a nearby phone and then possess it to uncover the identity of the person on the other line. Ray grants the player a new power, allowing them to travel through the phone lines to the location of the villain.
