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

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

As a seasoned investigator with a knack for unraveling complex stories, I find myself intrigued by this intricate web of events unfolding before me. From the funding woes of the Harmony Foundation to the mysterious artifact and the fiery incident at the lab, it seems like our characters are dancing on the edge of chaos.


As a dedicated fan, I delve deeper into the enigma of “The Rise of the Golden Idol” with Chapter 3 titled “The Machine.” Previous chapters have unraveled the intriguing tale of individuals who’ve had contact with this enigmatic artifact and how it morphed into a vessel for harmful emotions, climaxing in conflict, homicide, and frequently premature demise. To complete “The Machine,” I’ll need the insights gleaned from earlier chapters. With a simple click of the remote, I can effortlessly return to the main screen where the television sets display past events. The most vital details for understanding the storyline can be found in the completed sections labeled as ‘Story.’

Chapter 3

The Machine

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

  • A sordid mix of science and spirituality

Moving forward from where we left off in Chapter 2, the player uncovers additional details about the Idol’s recent history, revealing its association with theft, homicide, and insanity. This narrative also brings back several characters who were prominent in the earlier chapters.

Ignition

  • Words: 35
  • Spots: 39

Prints

To correctly identify six different sets of fingerprints, players may utilize clues such as the color and positioning of the prints.

  • Row 1: Oriel Toussaint, Marie Westlake, Nathan Hoyle
  • Row 2: Tim Spender, Jack Nowak, Eugene Marmot

Controls

Six individuals could have potentially interacted with the controls at different times, however, the game requires just three instances for progression. It’s beneficial to list the suspects initially, but the player can also employ the Prints as a means to identify the relevant images instead.

  • From left to right: Eugene Marmot, Tim Spender, Eugene Marmot, Jack Nowak

Names

In this case, four of these characters are already familiar to us, making it one of the more straightforward sections to complete when it comes to naming them.

Oriel ToussaintNathan HoyleJack NowakEugene MarmotTim SpenderMarie Westlake

Events

Finishing this Events section might be particularly straightforward if you’ve already tackled the others, as it focuses more on the occurrences depicted on the second screen rather than the first.

  • Paragraph 1: Mary Westlake, reconstruct, device, tests, approval, Eugene Marmot, access card, revoked
  • Paragraph 2: board inspection, lab, unlocked, Nathan Hoyle, Tim Spender, enter, Eugene Marmot, opportunity, follow
  • Paragraph 3: Eugene Marmot, both hands, touch, controls, device, activated, caught, fire

Hierarchy And Story One

Once you’ve concluded this situation, the parts marked “Hierarchy” and “Story 1” will remain in piecemeal. As the player advances to subsequent scenarios, these areas will gradually provide additional details.

Protest Movement

A Hippie Movement Refuses To Roll Over

  • Words: 42
  • Spots: 36

Names

A good portion of these names are fresh and unique, not appearing again; however, a few might seem familiar as they were introduced in earlier chapters.

  • Row 1: Corbyn Shaw, Tobias Amstel, Odetta Amstel, Jeffrey Amstel
  • Row 2: Penny Coolidge, Eugene Marmot, Jack Nowak, Andi Shaw

Paths

This is the path of the mystery substance that rolled from the bird bath to the Amstel’s backyard.

The broken birdbath is the first picture. It’s followed by:

  1. The wrecked bike on its side,
  2. the big gouge in the dirt,
  3. the tree root with a red mark,
  4. the gap in the bushes,
  5. the toppled barbecue,
  6. the chunk of ice in the pool.

The wrecked bike is the property of protest organizer Penny Coolidge​​​​​​.

Events

In the narrative section labeled ‘Events’, we find a concise account of a protest and an enigmatic ice wheel. Here’s how it could be rephrased for clarity:

  • Paragraph 1: protesters gathered, OPIG laboratory, closure, Harmony Foundation
  • Paragraph 2: protest, Andi Shaw, steal, bird bath, broke, block of ice, rolled, hill, hit Tobias Amstel, barbecue, fall over, injure

Hierarchy
and
Story 1
will appear again with more information but are not solvable yet.

The Procedure

A Bizarre Operation Ends In Bloodshed

  • Words: 44
  • Spots: 44

Names

In this installment, most of the characters make a comeback from past stories, and it delves deeper into the fate of the Golden Idol.

  • Row 1: Tesa Nevari, Tim Spender, Marie Westlake, Sam Robinson
  • Row 2: Bruce Myson, Billy Greer, Alex Remington, Charlie Hall

Symbols

Here’s a small chart embedded within Tesa Nevari’s beehive hairstyle. The spaces on this chart are filled with a mix of dark green and blue, suggesting that solutions from either set could complete the puzzle.

  • From top to bottom: Eliminate, Replenish, Hatred, Empathy

Events

This is one of the longer events sections to complete, but at least the paragraphs are short.

  • Paragraph 1: Tesa Nevari, dedicants, Harmony Foundation, procedure
  • Paragraph 2: eliminate hatred, replenish empathy, enlightenment
  • Paragraph 3: seize, Harmony Foundation
  • Paragraph 4: Bruce Myson, grabbed, Sam Robinson
  • Paragraph 5: Alex Remington, stabbed, Bruce Myson, crystal
  • Paragraph 6: Billy Greer, shot, Alex Remingston, Taser

Motive

In this scenario, a mini-mystery surfaces once all other issues have been resolved. This mystery sheds light, albeit partially, on the conflict depicted in the initial scene. The game provides 14 images for selection, but the player requires merely three of them to solve it.

  • Picture 1: the black and white photo of Neil Remington
  • Picture 2: the photo of the birthday party
  • Picture 3: the photo of Tesa Nevari and her mentor

Hierarchy And Story 1

Also Unlocks Story 2

  • Story 2 appears after Story 1 and Hierarchy are completed, and has to be finished before moving on to Chapter 4.

As an enthusiast, I’ll leverage insights gleaned from these diverse situations to figure out the best approach for finalizing both the written content and the chart.

Hierarchy

Among the eight images, not every picture is necessary. Interestingly, one spot doesn’t contain a portrait; instead, it has a decal with the message “project ended”.
