Rise of the Golden Idol: Feathered Frenzy Walkthrough

Scenario 1: A Deadly Attack at the Aviary


Scene 1, Aviary

  • Bottom left note with letter: Deathrattle, Nythalie’s, Mimicked, Scavenged
  • Left Note with two warning triangles: The Red-Breasted, The Masked
  • Left Note with one warning triangle: Heron, Grouse, Killing, Eggs
  • Bird Incubator Hut
    • Incubator: Incubator
    • Warning: Overheated
    • Worker, dead bird in her inventory: Hatchling
  • Bush: Bush
  • Yellow Bracelet in bird mouth: Bracket
  • Note on Right with two red circles: Lori, Herald, Attacked, Cried, Discovered, Screams
  • Right night with one red circle: The Bleary-Eyed, Morav
  • Right note, no markings: Flower-Piercer, Agitated
  • Worker on right: Declan

Scene 2, Worker Quarters

  • Schedule: Feed, Marcie, Crystal, Declan
  • Note by phone: Marcie, Declan
  • Photo in Moore locker: Moore, Stolen
  • Astor locker: Astor
  • Palmer locker: Palmer, Stepped, Trained

Hints:

  • The clock by the incubator says it’s 12:40. Good time to step out for lunch
  • A bird care guide has been torn up. It’s pages describe the names, appearance, and distinctive behavior of the 5 bird species. If you can match the pages up, it will explain everything
  • That neon bracket has the idol runes and the OPIG logo on it. Does anyone here have an OPIG connection?
  • The victim is holding yellow seed. Which species eats that?
  • When we arrive, 3 of the bird species are aggravated and two of them are calm. The Trigger scroll shows 4 agitated species, so one of them must have calmed down and one of them was never agitated
  • The green birds repeat human speech, so whatever they’re saying must be what was said before the incident. Gotta love the good old murder mystery parrots
  • The dead man has white with a yellow center stain on the sole of his shoe. That doesn’t match the floors or dirt around here, so where did it come from?
  • If the hatchling was killed by overexposure to the incubator, then whoever should have been watching it was away for too long. Was it carelessness or inexperience?
  • The note with the red circles has a warning against two different types of speech. It appears to be against talking and against loud noises, separately
  • One of the birds is noted to be fed with live prey (which explains why there’s only four feed bags). It must not consider the other 4 species as prey, as no aviary on their right mind would put prey and predator in the same enclosure.
  • If that’s the case, then whatever bird feeds on live prey was not agitated.
  • The two rightmost notes match: the Morag Aviary’s connects to Guide to Birds
  • The leaf and double circle notes match: the Deathrattle mimics sounds and the – Lory entry mentions repeating words
  • The single and double triangle notes match:The Red-breasted mentions Herons and the top entry of the other is a Heron
  • The torn up bird guide is meant for new employees, so whoever was attacked was the new hire
