Welcome, investigator, to a detailed guide for Call of the Elder Gods Chapter 3. This chapter, titled "A Guide to the Members of the Starry Wisdom Society," pushes you deeper into the game's occult mystery with dreamlike exploration, office clue-hunting, and one of the most elaborate logic chains in the story. If you work methodically and keep checking Norah's journal, the entire sequence becomes much easier to follow.
Chapter 3 Overview: Main Objectives
Video Highlights:
- Visual route through the dream path and statue chamber.
- Tetrahedron and photo-lab puzzle flow.
- Tips for tracking cult-member clues across the offices.
Dream Path
- Goal: Reach the main puzzle spaces.
- Focus: Follow the surreal route through books, roads, and the storage room.
- Tip: Treat it as progression rather than a logic puzzle.
Upper Offices
- Goal: Gather clues about the Starry Wisdom Society.
- Focus: Search the Biologist, Psychiatrist, Dilettante, Archaeologist, and Astronomer offices.
- Tip: Inspect every desk, file, and prop for journal entries.
Statue Chamber
- Goal: Solve the final identity table.
- Focus: Combine office notes, masks, symbols, and the developed photograph.
- Tip: Do the supporting puzzles first before forcing table guesses.
Chapter 3 is much smoother if you pause after each major clue and reread the journal. Most mistakes happen when players remember only one part of the logic chain.
Chapter 3 Walkthrough: Puzzle Route
Chapter 3 contains several chained puzzles. If something feels unclear, you are usually missing a note, photo, or environmental clue from one of the offices.
Tetrahedron Puzzle Solution
Inspect the small tetrahedron
Find the small tetrahedron in a drawer. It shows the target arrangement: one side with three moons, one with three stars, and one with three suns.
Align the large tetrahedron
On the large device, press the central triangle buttons to activate the edges. Rotate the pieces until each visible side shows three matching symbols.
Rotate the orb
After opening the orb, rotate it until the glowing line matches the glowing tab at the 6 o'clock position.
Adjust the room model
Rotate the bottom and middle layers so the stairs line up, then turn the top dome so no tab blocks the front-facing door.
Cult Photo Development
Collect the film
Take the film roll from the Psychiatrist's office box.
Go to the photo lab
Use the development setup in the Archaeologist's office lab.
Use the correct tray order
Place the photo in the trays in this order: second tray, first tray, third tray.
Record the revealed clue
The developed image becomes one of the key references for the statue-identity puzzle.
Office Search Route
Visit every office
Search the Biologist, Psychiatrist, Dilettante, Archaeologist, and Astronomer rooms before locking in final answers.
Collect every note and prop
Prioritize calendars, photos, labels, masks, and handwritten notes because they feed the final logic table.
Cross-check with the journal
If two clues seem contradictory, reopen the journal and compare the symbol, role, and code-name references together.
Egyptian Statue Table Puzzle & Clue Cleanup
When the table is correct, pressing the center button activates the elevator and ends the chapter's main puzzle arc.
Egyptian Statue Identity Table
