In the occasion, they help the Scotland Yard solve the mystery of several archaeological artifacts stolen from a local museum and expose Detective Inspector Leonard Bloom as a mole from Targent.

Once their preparations are over, the group travel around the globe and retrieve the eggs, with Aurora recovering part of her memories with each artifact secured.

During their travels, the group helps a jungle chief regain his sense of humor, learn of a popular island tradition that one egg inspired, clear up a misunderstanding about a wolf attacking a desert, stop a hillside from "sacrificing" women to prevent whirlwinds, and cure people in a walled city of a sleeping illness.

Layton's team then goes to the Nest and infiltrates Targent's headquarters, where they confront Bronev and retrieve the last egg, using it in conjunction with the others to create a master key that can unlock the Azran Legacy.

Aurora recovers her memories and tries to warn the others that the Azran Legacy is dangerous, but Sycamore reveals himself as Layton's arch enemy, Jean Descole in disguise and steals the key.

With her mission fulfilled, Aurora bids farewell to Layton and co. who escape the ruins while she perishes inside them, while Descole takes the opportunity to flee.

Layton denies this and wishes to keep his adoptive name, refusing to recognize Bronev as his father, but he hopes that they can meet again as friends and fellow archaeologists one day.

Players utilise the touch screen to navigate through locations, search the environment for clues or objects and solve puzzles.

Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy received "generally favorable" reception, according to review aggregator Metacritic.
