Where do I find a spicy red Berry in Detective Pikachu Returns The Fabled Aurora case?

During the Fabeled Aurora case, you must track down a spicy red Berry to solve the Passimian statue puzzle. However, despite looking everywhere in the Southern Ruins, you will not be able to find one. That is because the fruit has already been completely picked from the region.

To find a Spicy Red Berry in Detective Pikachu Returns, you must speak to Professor Gordon’s assistant, Chris Honor. The researcher can be found at camp cooking in front of the temple ruins door. Walk up to him, and you will have an option to ask him about the missing berries. Chris will then reveal that you are looking for Tamato Berries.

If you are like me, you may be left scratching your head on how to proceed next in the case. However, it’s pretty simple! Next, open your notebook and have Tim Goodman enter the deduction phase on the “What spicy, red Berry should we place on the middle statue?” flowchart. Choose the “A spicy, red Tamato Berry” option.

After you solve the question, you must find a substitute for Tamato Berries. Thankfully, the solution is nearby. Simply speak to Chris Honor once again and select the “Substitute for a Tamato Berry?” option. The research assistant will then offer up a curry dish that he made from the spicy red berries that he brought with him.

Now that you have the curry, open your notebook one last time, and answer the “We don’t have the right berry – what should we do?” notes flowchart question. Select the “Substitute the Tamato Berry curry instead option.” You will now be able to re-enter the temple, where you can put the curry plate in the hands of the middle Passimian statue. This will finally solve the puzzle and open the Aeiglash door!

Detective Pikachu Returns is now available on the Nintendo Switch.
