[INT!] Introduction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
L.A. Noire is similar to Rockstar's other open-world games (such as Red Dead
Redemption or Grand Theft Auto), but it introduces some very unique differences
that (in my opinion) completely set it apart from its predecessors. The first
and most obvious difference are the amazing facial animations used to bring the
characters to life. This is the first game in which this new technology has
been used, and I can tell it will change the way games are experienced. The
second difference is the detective interview system; using the facial
animation technology, this is the first game that effectively employs a way to
tell if an interviewee is lying.
This document is a walkthrough guide to beating the DLC Case "The Naked City"
in L.A. Noire with a five-star rating; it is equally applicable to all the
major release versions of the DLC, which include the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360
versions. In this guide I will provide you with a step-by-step guide to finding
all of the clues, what you need to do, and where you need to go. I also offer
strategies and tactics for getting through certain action sequences of the
case, as well as give you all the answers for the interviews.
Also included with this guide are links to video guides (all video guides were
made by me), which will help you to visually connect with the information in
this written guide. A good way to make the most out of this written guide and
the video guides is to have one browser tab open for the written guide and
another browser tab open for the selected video guide. Doing that will allow
you to keep the written guide open and then copy and paste the link to the
video guide in the second browser tab. If you happen to use two monitors with
your computer, you can also have two browser windows open on each monitor,
which will allow you to view both the written guide and the video guide at the
same time. Technology is great isn't it?
Thank you for checking this guide out and I hope that it helps you.

[STO!] Story Introduction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are Cole Phelps, an up-and-coming police officer who is destined for great
things. The setting is the city of Los Angeles; the year is 1947, just a few
years after World War II. After serving as an officer in the war, Cole Phelps
is ready to get on with his life and leave his past behind him. Little does he
know, the future will put him in situations that bring his past right back to
the forefront, mixing his past life with his new life.
Join with Phelps as he meets many new faces, most of which are friendly. Some
are not so friendly though; many more are several shades of gray. As you solve
cases and begin to gain an understanding of the Los Angeles area and its
various factions, you soon realize that everything is not as it seems. There
are conspiracies, intricate plots, and instances of corruption a plenty. Along
with the help of some colorful company, you will need to solve them all.
The DLC Case "The Naked City" takes place during Cole Phelps' time at the Vice
Desk with his partner Roy Earle.

sight, don't attract attention, and don't move until he moves.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Pt.8] Part 8: Objectives 13 & 14
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-=- Obj 13: Apprehend suspect
1. Drive to Arnett's Apartment. For some reason the game will not allow you to
fast travel there (perhaps because Miss Swanson is in the vehicle), so you'll
have to manually drive.
2. Once you get to the apartment, a foot chase scene starts. A man darts out
the window. Follow him!
3. This is a short chase. Just go where the suspect goes and keep him in sight.
After you tiptoe across the board to the adjoining roof, the suspect will
ambush Phelps with a club and escape.
-=- Obj 14: Investigate Arnett's apartment
1. After the cutscene, it is time to check out Arnett's residence. Luckily
though there is only one thing to examine: his suitcase to the right of the
couch. Open it up to find a train ticket and expensive watch.

Professional burglary ring Lie -> Faberge cigarette case

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Pt.9] Part 9: Objectives 15 & 16
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-=- Obj 15: Interrogate Doctor Stoneman
1. Drive to Dr. Stoneman's Practice.
2. Once inside the office, a cutscene plays.
3. After the cutscene, use the telephone on Dr. Stoneman's desk.
-=- Obj 16: Apprehend "Willy"
1. Drive to Willy's Apartment.
2. After the cutscene, walk to the corner and turn left. You hear a harmonica;
keep going until you find Willy playing the harmonica in one of the left
alleyways.
3. A foot chase starts; follow Willy up to the roof of the building.
4. This foot chase isn't too difficult; all you have to do is keep going up.
5. Eventually you will reach an area that triggers a cutscene. Afterwards, you
need to start shooting at Willy as he climbs a ladder.
6. Willy seems to have some extra health (or invisible walls around the
letters), because shooting him as he climbs doesn't seem to affect him that
much. Once he reaches the top of the ladder and starts shooting at you though,
he is as easily killled as any other enemy.
