The saga of the Golden Idol continues with Chapter 4 of The Rise of the Golden Idol, the sequel to the popular point-and-click title The Case of the Golden Idol. At this point in the story, players know about the artifact’s checkered past, and it’s time to move into the present and future.

Rise Of The Golden Idol: Chapter Three, The Machine Walkthrough

Here’s how to complete The Rise of the Golden Idol Chapter 3, titled The Machine.

The settings in this chapter are unique, moving away from the lab and the Harmony Foundation to more random venues. Examples include an apartment building, an aviary, and a private living room. This time, however, players get to see the results of experiments with the Golden Idol, and the subjects of these tests often suffer a grim fate.

Chapter 4 only unlocks once the previous sections have already been completed. This includes the scenarios along with the texts and puzzles that close the Chapter.

Chapter 4

The Trials

Some new information is introduced about the human experiments

Chapter 4 is one of the longer sections of TRotGI, and there’s a fair amount of new information for players to find and understand. There are four scenarios, but the advantage is that they aren’t that long or complicated, and players can still use the previous chapters for reference.

Rise Of The Golden Idol: Chapter Two, The Pursuit Walkthrough

As players begin the second chapter of Rise of the Golden Idol, they will encounter many challenges that they must overcome.

Feathered Frenzy

A Deadly Attack At The Aviary

Names

It’s recommended that the player finish this section first to make Triggers and Events easier. Most of them are the names of birds and the three people involved haven’t appeared before.

Row 1: The Masked Grouse, The Red-Breasted Heron, The Bleary-Eyed Flower-Piercer, The Deathrattle Lory
Row 2: Nythalic’s Herald, Declan Astor, Crystal Moore, Marcie Palmer

Triggers

This scenario starts by focusing on the birds instead of people. The solution to this puzzle can also be used to solve the Names section.

The Deathratte Lory – Declan Astor’s body
Nythalic’s Herald – The Deathratte Lory
The Bleary-Eyed Flower Piercer – the yellow bracelet
The Masked Grouse – broken eggs

Events

This is one of the longer text puzzles, but it tells the basic story of the scenario and is easy to put together once the other sections are completed.

Paragraph 1: Marcie Palmer, cried, discovered, hatchling, overheated
Paragraph 2: Declan Astor, bracelet, stolen, The Bleary-Eyed Flower-Piercer, Declan Astor, feed, The Masked Grouse, eggs, bush
Paragraph 3: The Masked Grouse, attacked, Declan Astor, killing, screams, mimicked, The Deathrattle Lory, agitated, Nythalic’s Herald, attacked, Crystal Moore

The sections entitled
Symbols
and
Transfers
appear in the first scenario but can’t be completed until all four are completed.

Backstage Drama

Pandemonium At The Stardust Variety Hour

Names

All of these characters are new, so previous references won’t help in this puzzle. Luckily, there’s plenty of documentation scattered around the screen to determine who is who.

Row 1: Regina Littlemore, Dante Longo, Jamey Albright, Atharv Reddy
Row 2: Vilmar Prado, Cameron Flake, Nola Rockow, Mitchell Burgin

Rankings

Part of solving the Rankings section isn’t only about who did win, but who didn’t. Starting with the lower ranks, as opposed to the winners, is helpful in this puzzle.

The Burpist
The Ventriloquist
The Juggler
The Ballerina
The Munchkin
The Magician

Events

The Events section describes what happened just before the player entered the scene, and it’s fairly obvious once the Rankings are determined.

Paragraph 1: Cameron Flake, sabotaged, Regina Littlemore, scratching, record, Mr. Vlad
Paragraph 2: Vilmar Prado, released, Lily Belle, cage, sabotage, Nola Rockow, Nola Rockow, poured, soda, trumpet
Paragraph 3: Regina Littlemore, attacked, Dante Longo, show, rigged
