Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-adventure game where players embody the master thief Lupin the 3rd. You'll use stealth, disguises, and your allies' skills to infiltrate secure locations, solve puzzles, and outwit enemies to steal legendary treasures. The ultimate goal is to acquire the "Pitcher of Honor" and "Pitcher of Victory" to uncover a massive fortune.
Story
PROLOGUE
Play as the irresistible cat-burglar Lupin the 3rd. In his latest adventure, Lupin is after the Treasure of the Sorcerer King.
Use your disguises and stealth skills to evade security guards and Interpol Inspector Zenigata as you search for the "Pitcher of Honor" and the "Pitcher of Victory." These will lead you to the ultimate booty—10 million gold coins!
A cutie by the name of Teresa has the Pitcher of Honor and is on a cargo train on her way to deliver it. Departure time is 17:30 at Heldenliedschloss Station.
Use all your skills as well as those of Jigen and Goemon to get to the station and intercept this pitcher.
HISTORY OF GOLDENGASSE
How was the word Goldengasse derived? Originally this town was known as Zulatnicka. Coins and precious metals were produced here in mass quantities by craftsmen who gave the town its original name which can be translated to mean "the precious metal street".
During the era of Karel I, when the occult was popular, many sorcerers, magicians, and astrologists trekked into the area. Over time the area was renamed Zlata Unicka, meaning Golden Street.
After the 16th Century, it was renamed again, this time as Goldengasse—a small, golden street, and the area has been known by this name ever since.
The Treasure of King Randolf
Randolf the Second, who was imprisoned by his younger brother Mathias in 1611, is known to have collected many precious artifacts. This is known because pictures of them have been displayed in various museums throughout the world. Many of these items were lost or destroyed in the war.
However, throughout history, there have been numerous sources indicating that the King, who was successful in alchemy, had also hidden great wealth and fortune somewhere within the castle. The gold coins shown here are apparently a part of this fortune, but this mystery remains unsolved, as numerous explorers have not been able to uncover the truth.
The Two Pitchers
The two pitchers are also some of King Randolf's artifacts. It was thought that they perished in the war, but now, the "Pitcher of Victory" is in the hands of Lord Hannewold.
The current owner of the "Pitcher of Honor" was also recently discovered, when the pitcher was exhibited during a charity event. The image shown is the "Pitcher of Victory".
Game Summary
In this action adventure game, the player will become Lupin and will penetrate secured areas, avoid traps, and outwit enemies in order to obtain the ultimate treasure.
Using a variety of disguises and items, the player will collect valuable information and solve puzzles in the field. In addition to game-original characters, Lupin's friends and rivals also appear in the game!

Tips & Maps
ATTACK THE ENEMY
Attack the enemy at close range with your weapon. If discovered, the Escape Gauge will turn red, and some enemies or weapons may not defeat them in one blow.
SET UP AND ATTACK
Combine the R2 and L1 buttons to attack while crouching or aim and attack from a first-person perspective.
TYPES OF WEAPONS
Acquire many types of weapons throughout the game, with different attack methods and effects depending on the weapon type, so choose according to the situation.
Thirty eight
Lupin's signature gun, a powerful weapon that will end the game if used to kill an enemy, as Lupin does not wish to kill anyone.
Liquid Gun
This weapon shoots mist using sleep cylinders as bullets, causing enemies to fall asleep, but its short shooting range makes it difficult to use.
Frying Pan
Obtained in the kitchen, this item can strike enemies, has unlimited ammo, but possesses low power.
HINTS AND TECHNIQUES
This game relies on stealth moves and puzzle-solving techniques, including disguise and stealth modes, along with other useful techniques.
ROLLING ACTION (FOR INFRARED SENSORS)
A rolling action where you jump and roll to move swiftly within a set distance, useful for navigating many infrared sensors without unnecessary movement, and can be performed forward or backward.
CREEP (NEAR SLEEPING OFFICERS)
Crouch and creep to move without making a sound, allowing you to pass by sleeping officers unnoticed, whereas walking normally would awaken them.
CHANGE PERSPECTIVES (SEE UP AHEAD)
Change perspectives and rotate cameras using the L1 button, right analog stick, and R3 button to look through small windows or discover enemies around corners, making your search smoother by seeing what's ahead.
UNLOCK PUZZLES!
Solve traps and puzzles throughout the stages to obtain treasure, with hints available through acquired items or left on the ground.
INVESTIGATE THROUGH ITEMS
Symbols on items may initially seem insignificant but hold clues.
LOOK AT YOUR SURROUNDINGS
Hints may be scribbled on blackboards or wall art in your environment.
TRIGGER MECHANISMS
Push moveable statues to unlock other traps and gimmicks.
ADVANCING IN THE GAME
Understanding the basics of "Sneaking," "Disguise," "Escape," and "Battle" is essential for progressing in the game, and their dynamics will be discussed further.
ESCAPE FROM THE FIRST ROOM
Escape from the last car of the train, where you begin, and move into the next car.
DEFEAT COPS THAT ARE A NUISANCE
Use objects for hiding, creep or roll to the door, and use the liquid gun to make the cop in front of the door fall asleep.
MOVE WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT
Observe the cop's movements in the passenger car, use first-person view to look around, and hide behind seats or roll to the next car to avoid detection, or fight if caught.
UNLOCK THE DOORS
Unlock the next door by entering numbers on a keypad, which can be found on the cop's uniform from the room before the door.
DISGUISE YOURSELF AS A COP AND GATHER INFORMATION
Use the cop uniform to disguise yourself before entering the next car, where you can pass through undetected and gather information from characters displaying symbols.
USE GOGGLES TO MOVE ACROSS INFRARED BEAMS.
Use goggles found before entering the car with infrared beams to roll through the gaps, as touching a beam will alert cops from the back, or press a button to deactivate them.
