Rise of the Golden Idol: Following Orders Walkthrough

Scenario 1: A Deadly Pursuit


Words:

Restaurant

  • Employee at the drive-through window: Employee
  • Menu board: Food, Sauce, Ordered, numbers 0-9
  • Blonde employee smoking: Punched, Stole, Lost
  • Dark-haired employee smoking: Cash, Safe, Opened
  • Television: Politician, Journalist, Gangster, Drugs
  • Customers inside: Bystander, Bearded Man
  • Police on motorcycles: Cop, Vigilante

Behind the building

  • Scooter: Tire, Shot
  • Body and the weapon beside it: Weapons
  • Bloody stairs on the right: Hand, Foot, Downstairs
  • Water tower: Water Tower, Fell
  • Door on the roof: Door, Upstairs

Hints:

  • The roles scroll only wants roles, so you can ignore the names of the two detectives from the cutscene.
  • Start with the parking lot. Note which bays are empty and which vehicle is parked in each of the others before you deal with the witnesses.
  • Count the people in each car and compare that with how many meals were ordered for that bay. One order does not line up with the people who are still here.
  • Line up every description of the attacker: beard, jacket colour and what he was riding. Decide whether the witnesses are describing one man or two.
  • Most of the locals give vague, nervous or rehearsed answers about bay 4. Think about who runs this restaurant and why nobody wants to say what they saw.
  • Check every sauce people say they ordered against the menu. If something is not on the menu, it probably was not sauce at all.
  • The person cleaning a sauce container in the back is doing it at a very convenient moment. The handprint on the safe tells you who they are.
  • The man lying behind the building has both of his hands and no beard, so he is not the person the waitress described.
  • Thin metal threads appear at the water tower, the roof door and on the severed hand. Whatever caused them is not ordinary.
