Umm, I take it you haven't done an Arch Villain hunt before....

Hopefully I'm not revealing too much info but here's a couple tips:

1. You will have to travel to multiple cities to catch your villain.

2. In each city, you will receive multiple clues about your villain. When you put them together logically (and successfully ;-), you will be able to eliminate the possibilities down to ONE townsperson in that particular city.

3. You will be visiting a total of 4 cities, and nabbing 4 different Townspeople, before you finally can grab your Villain. After that, it's a piece of cake (literally ;-).

4. Most of the cities have a similar format to what you've experienced. One city, however, is VERY different. When, and if, you ever reach there, I'd strongly suggest PMing somebody for help with that particular city. Better yet, you might seriously think about joining an Agency so you have ready help for the next time you run into trouble, regardless of the city you're in.

5. You may be surprised to hear this, but there ARE repeating clues in the same city. You may, in fact, go days before you hit the one particular clue that you need. You'll have two options at that time: 1. Guess your townie (you saw what happens when you get that wrong), and 2. Keep going 'til you get the clue you need. (And yes, I know how much of a pain in the I-Won't-Say-What that is. We've all been there, trust me.)

So. I hope that these "hints" help you, at least somewhat. My sympathies that your first hunt didn't go well. But you now know a bit about what AV hunts are like, and what to expect for next time. Don't give up!! You can do this!! ;-D

P.S. -- By the way, you might wanna take special note of #5 for next time. Just a thought. B.

I did get the same clue multiple times for sure
So in total how many clues are there for each location, i wouldnt mind doings cases for days but knowing that eventually ill get a clue that wasnt there
Becuase after the clues in my first AV hunt started repeating, i thought well it seems 3 is the maximum clues

You'll never need more than 5 clues. Your clues will always lead only to 1 townie.
Just follow the directions from the clues on the map - north/south , east/west etc.

There are more than 3 clues in each city, Edwardz, but like I said, it may take quite a while to find the additional clues that you need to solve the puzzle for each city. (We can't be more specific than that, because the information you're requesting is considered to be spoiler material. ;-) If you need something more detailed than that, PM somebody who has done some AV hunts successfully, or like I said before, give serious consideration to joining an Agency. Good luck!! ;-)
