Starting Location: Sacrificial Lamb

Sacrificial Lamb Case starts automatically as part of Main Case “A Mother’s Love“. Once you’ve triggered it, head to Kurt Manchios mansion on Turquoise Ln in Northern Grand Saray:

To enter the mansion you need to put on the clothes provided by Vogel: “Prince of Darkness” & Face Mask”. You found those during “A Mother’s Love” on your way out of Stonewood Manor, which started this case. You can enter the mansion from the north via the main gate.

Manchio’s Mansion

Stepping inside the Mansion, you want to head to the room in the back left area to talk to Verner Vogel and find out about why he invited you.

While still in this area, Jon issues a challenge for the missable trophy Rumor Has It… . To fulfill the condition, we need to eavesdrop on two conversations of the rich and powerful.

First possibilty is in another small room on the left side of the foyer. The correct words are: Cheating groom, Offended duchess, Fired after incident, Political crisis.

The second pair can be found on the right side of the entryway, out in the foyer. The correct words are: Magic circle, Occultist architect, Mysterious disappearance. The trophy should unlock immediately after this.

With the key Verner gave us, we can now proceed through the large white door at the end of the foyer.

Inside, we’re greeted by a body on an altar. Interact with the six clues (sigil, dagger, chest-wound, head-wound, tattoo & fingers).

To the right of the corpse, you can interact with 3 props for the ritual. Also interact with the blood symbols on the wall behind the corpse.

To the left of the corpse, head into the red room (smoking lounge). At the small table, we can find four clues (cigars, whip, bottle & stain).

On the right of the smoking lounge, head through the white door into the dressing room, there are two clues at the sink to the left (pitcher, blood in drain). In this room there’s a missing robe (use concentration mode).

On the right desk, there are three clues you can check out (book, letter & tool-rack)

The left desk has another three clues to inspect (gift, key & mask)

Next to this desk, there is a cabinet which you can open. It contains some bloody clothes.

Pinning the clue “Smoking Lounge” to your screen, you can use concentration-mode on some blood tracks at the door between Altar-room and Lounge, as well as some more within Lounge itself.

Now, speak to Verner Vogel about what you’ve found out so far.

After this, we can enter the Imagination Sequence and recreate the scene, shown below. Altar Room = unknown man closing door, unknown man stabbing victim with knife / Lounge = unknown man smacking victim with wine bottle in head, unknown man dragging unconscious victim / Dressing Room = unknown man using the drain, unknown man putting bloody clothes in cabinet.

Concluding the scene, enter the Mind Place Menu and combine all clues so far. Then talk to Vogel again and ask him about the key (you can’t talk to him about the other evidence).

Now, we should talk to the host, who is the man standing by himself next to the fountain.

While talking to him, the police storm the mansion and we find ourselves at the Police Station.

Police Station

After regaining control in the cell, interact with the two letters, the evidence tickets and the keys. Combine the new clues via the Mind Palace menu.

Now, pay Police Officer Oswald in the Archives a visit and speak to him.

Next, head to the evidence room and present the ticket, so we can look through the belongings of the suspects.

Each drawer contains three pieces of evidence we can interact with.

Verner Vogel

Say Hi to Verner! He is at the end of the corridor, but doesn’t have much intel for us at the moment. Be sure to come back to him after talking to the other witnesses, as this will uncover more information.

Santos Pinchetti

The Butler of the Mansion is found in cell 7, left of Verner. Check the drawer on the desk to find keys and the will of Kurt.

Time to analyze Santos (has financial difficulties):

Speak with him about the evidence to hear his side of the story. Despite being related to the Mansions master, he barely gets paid anything.

Matista

Performer Matista can be found in cell 6.

Start talking to her and draw her character portrait (punishes herself for the past).

Now, present her all the evidence you can select.

Kurt Manchios

Time to speak to the host, Mr. Manchios, who is sitting in cell 5.

Speak with him and do the character portrait (hides his age):

As with the others, present all evidence to him to learn new details and deductions for your mind palace.

After this, combine all clues in the Mind Palace. Your casebook may have some objectives with a speech-icon left. If so, talk to all suspects again until they can’t be interacted with anymore and you will gain enough Mind Palace entries to form a conclusion.

Conclusion

To complete the case, we have to deem someone guilty. There is no certain correct option – every suspect denies their involvement. Sherlock will decide anyhow, to gain the file on his mother, while Oswald will get a promotion for solving this case.

Here are the different options for the three suspects:
