The Kaito Files: all cats, scents and Matsugane crests There are 20 cats and 20 scent pickups, for 40 discoveries in total. Twenty of their rewards are Matsugane Family Crests, split evenly between cats and scents. The 11 memories are separate and unlock their own set of combat skills. Use Ear for cats and Nose for scents, even when you can already see the target. Move closer if the interaction does not appear. Buy the + and EX upgrades for both senses to make the search easier. Genda Law Office access is story-gated; do its refrigerator pickup once you can enter. The location IDs below belong to this guide. They are not in-game numbering. Tick a location after the interaction awards its item, not merely after you hear a cat. Ten crest cats Each of these gives one Matsugane Family Crest. C01 Exact target: Hotel District, vacant lot south of Adam: southeast wall. C02 Exact target: Shichifuku Parking Lot: vending machine outside its southern edge. C03 Exact target: Champion District southeast alley: cat on the raised AC unit. C04 Exact target: Pink Street: top of the Queen Rouge entrance sign. C05 Exact target: Alley north of Yagami's office: western vending machine. C06 Exact target: North of Kotobuki Drugs: sign above the small green car. C07 Exact target: West of Sushi Zanmai: AC unit beside a vending machine. C08 Exact target: Tenkaichi entrance gate: underground-entrance roof to its west. C09 Exact target: Western Theater Alley: red vending machine. C10 Exact target: East Millennium Tower Street: vending machine southwest of Wild Jackson. Ten other cats C11 Location and target: Just east of Yagami's office door, vending machine. Reward: Bloody Crest C12 Location and target: Park Boulevard east end, grass/tree beside Kamurocho Hills entrance. Reward: Binding C13 Location and target: North Senryo Avenue dead end, scaffolding west of Champion District entrance. Reward: A Swordsman's Teachings: Part Two C14 Location and target: Vacant lot south of Bar Tender, western AC unit. Reward: Silver Plate C15 Location and target: Tenkaichi Alley backlot, on the vending machine in its eastern entrance passage. Reward: Staminan Spark C16 Location and target: Yoshinoya's northeast corner on Tenkaichi, behind the rope barrier. Reward: Miracle Darts C17 Location and target: Nakamichi Street north of Café Alps, blue vending machine. Reward: Yagami Detective Agency record C18 Location and target: Eastern Senryo Avenue spur, stairs behind the chain-link fence. Reward: Gold Plate C19 Location and target: Theater Square Club SEGA northeast corner, red vending machine. Reward: Fearless Binding C20 Location and target: Across the street, south of East Shichifuku Poppo, on the red vending machine inside the building's entrance alcove. Reward: Dragon's Binding The C13 reward makes Extra Firepower: Do or Die available to buy. C11's Bloody Crest attracts the strong roaming enemies needed for the optional challenge when equipped. Finding all twenty cats unlocks Iron Liver for purchase. Ten crest scents Each of these gives one Matsugane Family Crest. Collecting ten crests makes Gifted Brawler Lv. 2 available; collecting all twenty opens Lv. 3. You still need to buy the preceding level and pay the SP cost. S01 Exact target: Rubbish southwest of Yagami Detective Agency's entrance. S02 Exact target: Champion District southeast vacant lot: ground along northern edge. S03 Exact target: Taihei/Senryo intersection: ruined Shangri-La entrance. S04 Exact target: Eastern Senryo Avenue spur: dumpster halfway along. S05 Exact target: Millennium Tower frontage: ground beside the eastern metal support of the glass shelter. S06 Exact target: Bantam: pavement in front of the wall sign. S07 Exact target: East of Sushi Zanmai: base of parking-ticket machine. S08 Exact target: Shichifuku Street opposite MEB: doormat south of Ikinari Steak. S09 Exact target: Southeast Theater Square: ground outside the ATM entrance. S10 Exact target: Vacant lot south of Bar Tender: dumpster on western side. S10 is easy to omit because the same lot also has a cat. Those are two separate interactions. Similarly, Bantam has both a scent and the Bomb Punch memory, and the area around Yagami's office has several different targets. Ten other scents S11 Location and target: Northeast Hotel District boundary, bushes near Kamurocho Hills gate. Reward: Expert Bat S12 Location and target: Yoshida Batting Center southwest parking area, rubbish bags. Reward: Silver Plate S13 Location and target: Lot northwest of East Shichifuku Poppo, northern metal dumpster. Reward: Long Drill on the Beach record S14 Location and target: Opposite/south of Bato Detective Agency, between two vending machines. Reward: Staminan Spark S15 Location and target: South of Kamuro Theater, blue bin beside Information Station. Reward: Extinguisher Protector S16 Location and target: Northern Nakamichi Street, ground just north of Beef Zone entrance. Reward: Bronze Plate S17 Location and target: Northern New Serena Alley, dumpster. Reward: Demonic Fundoshi S18 Location and target: Behind Public Park 3, dumpster south of the outdoor shogi player. Reward: Platinum Plate S19 Location and target: South of Kyushu No. 1 Star, dumpster at Pink Alley's northern entrance. Reward: Gold Plate S20 Location and target: Inside Genda Law Office, refrigerator. Reward: Stiff Boxers Collection route Start around the agency and Tenkaichi gate, then cover New Serena/Tenkaichi Alley. Continue through Nakamichi and Pink Street, sweep Senryo and the Champion District, then finish the eastern and northern streets before moving through Theater Square. Enter Genda Law Office separately for S20. Use the location IDs as your own checklist. The skills menu gives useful overall gates, particularly Iron Liver and Gifted Brawler, but an unbought skill is not proof that a collectible is still missing. Read its prerequisite and check whether the SP purchase is the only step left. For the all-skill route, the critical collection totals are 20 cats and 20 crests, plus all memories and books. The remaining non-crest scents are included here for a complete exploration sweep, useful equipment and SP. The non-crest scents are optional for the trophies.
