There is a side case in Lost Judgment in which players are given a riddle and must find a time capsule, but it can be difficult to locate.

Lost Judgement Former Seiryo Students talk about the Time Capsule

There are many opportunities for unique experiences in Lost Judgment, including one side case in which Takayuki Yagami can help former students track down a lost time capsule. The "Where is the Time Capsule?" side case starts with a riddle that players must solve to get to the next step. Like many of Lost Judgment's side cases, like befriending a cat or finding squirrel graffiti, the time capsule quest can be difficult to solve.

In order to unlock the "Where is the Time Capsule?" side case in Lost Judgment, players will first need to reach Chapter 3. There is a group of former students in the Seiryo High School Courtyard that Yagami can speak to and begin the case. They will give Yagami the following riddle, "The giant's wheel lords over the tree with the most branches, three steps south from the roots. Two more steps east, and there a treasure rests."

Using the clues in the riddle, players can locate the time capsule. There is a tree in the northwestern corner of the Seiryo High School Courtyard that can be identified while in investigation mode to get Yagami started. Unfortunately, players can find the right tree and waste a lot of time trying to interact with it, but the next step won't trigger without solving the first part of the riddle.

Lost Judgement - Time Capsule Location under the tree near the Ferris Wheel at Seiryo High School Where is the Time Capsule Side Case

The prerequisite for finding the capsule makes this one of Lost Judgment's tougher side cases. To solve the riddle, players should look up next to the tree to find the Ferris Wheel (the giant's wheel), which will be brightly lit. Yagami must observe the Ferris Wheel, then go toward the tree. This time, he will begin digging up the time capsule.

While digging, Yagami will wonder about the location of the capsule and the shovel that was near the dig spot. Players will then return to the group of friends, only to find that the time capsule they dug up belongs to someone else. A cutscene with dialogue options will play in which Yagami discovers the time capsule he found belongs to a woman that one of the men used to have a crush on. The former student with the crush will provide Yagami a sketch of what she used to look like.

The final step in this side case is to track down the rightful owner of the time capsule. She will be in marked on the map in Chinatown, and the sketch will outline identifying features. Players should observe the woman and interact with her to trigger a cutscene and complete the side case. Completing this case will grant players SP, which is needed for upgrades in Lost Judgment.

Lost Judgment is available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Lost Judgmentfeatures dozens of new Side Cases for Yagami to pursue across multiple maps, but one of the most frustrating quests encountered in the game’s earliest hours is called “Where is the Time Capsule.” In this guide, we’ll explain how to locate the missing object and what you must do to complete the rest of this plot-heavy side story.

How to start “Where is the Time Capsule” Side Case

The “Where is the Time Capsule” Side Case triggers during Chapter 3 and is located at the Seiryo High School Courtyard entrance, just as you pass through the building’s central doors. You can use this map to pinpoint the case’s exact location. Initially, it will show up as “???” on your map.

How to find the Time Capsule

Once you get there, you’ll see a group of students hanging around a tree. Talk to them, and they’ll tell you they’re looking for a Time Capsule they buried on the school grounds some time ago. But, unfortunately, the only clue they have to its location revolves around “the giant’s wheel lording over the tree with the most branches.”

The quest marker will update, and it will bring you reasonably close to where you need to go to find the giant’s wheel. Manually enter investigation mode, look above the nearby gate, and you’ll see this Ferris wheel. Examine it by pressing the button as shown.

Once you find the wheel, the next step is locating the tree with the most branches. That’s right next to the gate, as illustrated below. Then, for the “examine” prompt to trigger, move closer to the tree and focus on the notch in its trunk.

From here, Yagami will do all the pacing and digging himself, and he’ll discover that the Time Capsule doesn’t appear to be the one the men described. So go back to talk to them at the spot where the Time Capsule quest started in the first place. After some dialogue, select the option that “someone mistakenly took it.” You can’t fail this part, but that’s the only option that advances the case.

After much more dialogue, you’ll discover the unlocked Time Capsule Yagami found belongs to Goto-San, a girl that one of the men, Ogikubo, had a crush on in high school. Inside her capsule is a letter revealing that she had a crush on Ogikubo as well.

The next step is to find Goto-san to return her capsule and offer our new friend an opportunity to confess his love. You’ll have some dialogue choices to make here, but the only one that matters is knowing where she lives now. The friends discuss that her parents own a restaurant in Chinatown, so that’s where Yagami must go to solve the case.

If you want to get there quickly, leave Seiryo High School and take a taxi to S. Chinatown. It’ll drop you off right near the quest marker.

Go to this spot on the map, and you’ll be able to interact with a large highlighted circle.

At this point, you’ll automatically enter search mode as you try to find Goto-san based on Ogikubo’s description. From the default spot, turn to your left, and you’ll see this woman in a white coat standing near a Chinese restaurant. Move closer to her for the “examine” prompt to appear. She fits the profile, so all you have to do now is talk to her. After that, the quest will end in a very Yakuza-like way that we won’t spoil here.

That’s all you need to know to find the lost Time Capsule in Lost Judgment.
