The Westlake Tar Pits (Fourth Excerpt)
When you arrive, head towards the Tar Pits, and you will get some cool boots. You need to get to the island in the middle of the pits. There are platforms in the pits, connected with walkways that sink as you walk on them, so you have to make it quickly from one platform to the next. Look carefully where you are walking, and you should be able to make it without much trouble. When you get to the island, walk straight back and look by the tree for the clues. On the top, you will find the clue: Theresa Taraldsen’s Shoe. On the bottom, you will find the clue: Fifth excerpt. This excerpt is leading you to the L.A. County Art Museum. It is located directly north of the Westlake Tar Pits, on Hoover Street between 8th Street and 9th Street.
L.A. County Art Museum (Fifth Excerpt)
At the Art Museum, the clues are located in the garden maze. When you first arrive, there is a sign directly in front of you pointing to the maze. Follow the path and the signs to get to the maze. To get to the center of the maze, follow the path until you can take a right. Follow the path that way until you are at a four-way intersection. Take a right there and follow the path around to the center of the maze. There will be a globe-shaped, spinning sculpture in the center with the clues placed on it (if you are having trouble navigating the maze, I have made a map to help). On the right you will find the clue: Celine Henry’s garnet ring. On the left is the clue: Sixth excerpt. This excerpt is telling you to go to the Intolerance Set. It is located on 8th Street between Bixel Street and Francisco Street.
Intolerance Set (Sixth Excerpt)
At the Intolerance Set, you have to get to the top of the throne. Follow your partner into the set to a set of stairs in the back. Climb the stairs all the way to the top until you get to a platform. The supports for the platform give out, and you have to balance the platform until your partner tells you to advance. Walk forward on the platform to make it lean the way you want it to go, and it will collapse away as you jump over to the next platform. Walk to the ladder in front of you and take it down to the level that the throne is on. Go over to the throne to find the clues. On the right is the clue: Evelyn Summers’ ring. On the left is the clue: Seventh excerpt. When you are done investigating these clues, the set starts to collapse. Just keep running, and you should be able to escape the collapsing set easily. The seventh and last excerpt is leading you to the suspects home, Christ Crown of Thorns (A.K.A. the Church), which is located south-west of the Intolerance Set, south of 9th Street and a couple blocks west of Francisco Street.
Abandoned Church (Seventh Excerpt)
When you arrive at the Church, head in through the doors directly in front of you. A cut-scene will start where you will meet the suspect. After the cut-scene, go up to the altar to see that the suspect isn’t there anymore. Head out the door, stage left, to the house. There are a lot of things in the house that you can look at, but not any clues. You need to find your way into the catacombs. Go through the door in the back of the kitchen to find all kinds of gory things. The entrance to the catacombs is the ladder to the left when you enter this back room.
Catacombs
After you look at whatever you want to in the house, head down the ladder to the catacombs. Be careful down here. There are lots of corners, and your suspect is armed with a shotgun, which he fires at you frequently (if you are having trouble navigating the Catacombs, I have made a map for it here). If you can shoot him in the catacombs, do it. If you don’t get him down there, he will climb up a ladder into the cemetery, and you can shoot him out there. Once you put him down, there will be a cut-scene and the case will be over.
