In this guide, you’ll find all the hints and solutions for the Final Clash in The Rise of the Golden Idol.
The Rise of the Golden Idol: Final Clash Walkthrough
Today there are no words to find. We already have them all. As we complete scrolls, we got more spots to investigate. As a general rule, the evidence from The Pinnacle chapter select is relevant.
Scroll 1: OPIG
- The “Happy Customer” Project is the name of the checklist Marie’s holding. The I.D.O.L. is being prepared for a live broadcast during a commercial break
- The hierarchy back in chapter 3 points out that OPIG also works in corn solutions. If you don’t know, most contemporary candy and soft drinks are made from corn syrup
- In hindsight, why did they need to drug O-range, specifically? If they wanted euphoric memories, they could have used anything
- The drug newspaper at the beach notes that Euphoria is highly addictive. Isn’t that what every company wants, a product customers can’t get enough of?
Scroll 2: I.D.O.L.
- At this point, Tim and Marie want Eugene to fail, Tesa has a grudge against all of them, Hoyle wants to spread his project, and lord only knows what Echo is up to.
- Marie’s checklist says that the one-minute lens should be in the machine, and it is at 2:30 PM. However, at the TV station, all lenses have been placed inside. Why would someone do that?
- Marie’s checklist says that Eugene fills the I.D.O.L , it’ss handed off to the security guards, then Jack and Eugene get it at the TV station
- At 1:45, the crystal is red. At 2:30 during the transfer, it’s blue. At the TV station being unloaded, it’s red again
- According to the security protocol, only four people have lab keys, only three have the PIN, and there should always be a security guard at the I.D.O.L.
- If someone were to tamper with the I.D.O.L., they would have to get the guard out of the way
- The note on the security guard at 2:30 shows dots linked together by lines in a row. They look a little like a 3×3 square. Do they translate to something?
- Spencer has a PIN: 15269. According to the security note, a pin should only be for Eugene, Marie, and Jack, so how’d he get it?
- Marie notes between chapters that a square disc has gone missing. How’d it end up in the van?
- The Oct 3rd meeting shows that the goal is to share “truly positive feelings about O-range with an unlimited audience.” If you wanted to derail that, what would you do?
- That vomiting security guard might have motion sickness, but the car is at a dead stop, so that can’t be it. What else could have made him sick?
- The scroll is asking for the specific individual who used the I.D.O.L.. That’s not to say that they’re working alone or that they didn’t have an accomplice
- If the crystal was blue during the trip and red at the stop, then the only time frame that it could have been refilled is during the trip.
- In the same way that you could put Euphoria in O-range to make a wonderful memory, you could put something in to make an awful memory.
- The footsteps in the snow outside look exactly like Marie’s. Was there truly an intruder?
- Look at your keyboard and type in 15269 on your number pad. What pattern does that make?
Scroll 3: Curse
- Luke Brown would do anything for one person and one person alone
- The security protocol page says that security was raised after the “empathy cult” attacked. This was spurred by the removal of a consultant
- The security guard is tied to a chair, but is calm and unbothered. How odd
- The tied up guard is in the effective zone for the currently empty I.D.O.L
Scroll 4: Broadcast
- The world didn’t change, so it appears the broadcast didn’t go as planned
- Is anyone confused like previous memory transfer targets have been?
- An act of heroism out of self-interest is still an act of heroism, I suppose
- Either the I.D.O.L. didn’t fire or the broadcast was prevented from reaching the public
- The note on Eugene is complimentary, but the bottle on the roof is sabotaged. Whoever gave him that note is playing him for a fool
- Remember how the camera intern in Boardroom Brawl was affected by the memory transfer because they were watching the camera feed?
Scroll 5: Hunter
- Who is Hunter Wolf? They have these traits:
- They have access to the I.D.O.L.
- They know that memory transfers can happen over live broadcast
- They know that you can overwrite a personality by using all lenses
- They would know Elizabeth Nowak is connected to Issac Nowak
- They are, to an extent, utopian. They were upset that William was cruel and that Harry couldn’t affect positive change
- They know the PIN to the I.D.O.L. lock, as someone had to give it Luke
- They knew security protocol and that they would need a guard on their side
- Issac Nowak has the red curse eyes, so all of his memories were taken out of him. Why him in particular?
- Icarus is a nickname for someone, but who?
- The square disc was full of data. How many memories do you need to fill a disc?
- The rejected pitches all match one member of the team clearly. For example, the mediation one was Tesa. Who does the education pitch match?
- The letter on Tesa is from Jack and tells her that her best shot at stopping the broadcast would be to come at 5:30 PM, but we can see from Marie’s checklist that the broadcast was meant for 5:00 PM. Besides, it was 5:15 and the broadcast was already prevented. Why would he deliberately give her bad information?
- Jack was right at the press conference. Issac Nowak’s legacy will live on.
