The Rise Of The Golden Idol: All Chapter 2: Pursuit Story Solutions

As you complete cases within Chapter 2 of The Rise of the Golden Idol, you'll uncover more aspects of a larger, grander mystery. Here, you have a corkboard to fill out, letting you identify some key people who don't necessarily show their faces when they're relevant and important.

Best Indie Detective Games

After our investigations, we found these detective games to be the best.

We also get a strong glimpse at the role of the Golden Idol itself, how it's being used and how it's come into play. This part of the mystery may be easier for veterans of the previous game, but foreknowledge certainly doesn't give you all the answers you need here. You'll need to do some extra work.

All Corkboard Solutions

This panel has you identifying faces without names, and assigning faces to roles. Of course, you'll need to have solved all four cases in this chapter to fill out the entire board:

• Garden Retreat
• Behind Bars
• Blockbuster Release
• Going Once!

Here are some clues:

• The Historian has a face you should recognise - she shows up in a chapter after you first meet her as the Historian.
• The order of the chapters is not chronological. The Colleague who died in Garden Retreat might turn up in another chapter.
• People who work together in one chapter might work together in other chapters.
• You have a lot of faces and names to choose from, but it's more than possible that you have to use individual faces or namesmore than once to fill out the corkboard.

Solution

The answers are as follows:

Historian

Colleague

Escaped Prison

Sent saw blade

Stole crystal

'Weird lady'

This is Tesa Nevari

All Story Solutions

The skeleton of the story provides you with a chronological order to the chapter, but it's up to you to fill in the details:

• Working out the pair who worked together (using the corkboard) is essential to decoding this story.
• The 'Golden Idol' box is rather conspicuous - you can learn more about this from the case selection screen by clicking on the book. This will give you a clue as to some words here.
• The paragraphs go in this order:
  • Culprit's aim.
  • The prison escape.
  • The overarching actions that fulfil the aim.
  • The auction.
  • The death of one of the pair.
• Something 'final' happens at the auction. What was important in the auction, and where else does it appear? Can this help you identify what it is and a certain number?
• The newspaper clipping tells you something important about Arthur Blythe, explaining why he's relevant at all.

Solution

Tesa Nevari wanted to reassemble the mythical Golden Idol of Lazarus Herst from its parts.

Tesa Nevari arranged Arthur Blyhte's prison escape, because he knew the locations of the parts.

Tesa Nevari and Arthur Blythe worked together to reassemble all 8 parts.

For the final one, at the auction, Arthur Blythe restored to murder.

In the end, Arthur Blythe tried to steal the parts from Tesa Nevari, which resulted in Arthur Blythe's death.
