Silence the Idol walkthrough: all four studios

The short answer

Follow each TV Studio Plan, rotate the props, solve the UV switchboard codes and recharge the route. Convert the marked audience cassettes to reach 0% approval, then finish and exit.

Television Studio main Trial. Codes vary; charging points and cassette counts depend on party size. Positions are relative to the TV plan.

Reception and the first two studios

Find the Idol at the entrance, enter the Television Studio from the side alley and press the Coat Check button to disrupt the conference. Escort the Idol along his rail into Studio 1.

For each recording set, check the director’s Studio Plan on the TV. Push the required objects along the yellow rails to their marked positions and rotate them toward the correct target. A correct location with the wrong facing is unfinished.

  • Studio 1: position the modified stage light at the Idol’s desk, facing him.
  • Studio 2: position the Chef beside the Idol, with the Camera and Light in their TV-plan positions; turn all three as the plan shows. Move obstructing props out of the way first.

For both studios, use the UV Spotlight to find the switchboard clues, enter and confirm the codes upstairs, then return and activate the stage device. Studio 1 uses the light lever; Studio 2 uses the Chef.

Read the UV switchboard clues

Find a letter and number for each color group:

Group Letters Numbers
Red A–E 01–05
Green F–J 11–15
Blue K–O 21–25

Select the matching letter and number in every group, then confirm. A wrong confirmation causes an electric shock. The codes vary; a walkthrough’s sample code is not your answer.

Recharge the route to Studio 3

Use the Battery Dispenser to charge the Backstage station first. This opens access upstairs, where three more stations need power. A Small Battery supplies 35 points and a Large Battery 100.

Station 1–2 Reagents 3–4 Reagents
Service, second floor 100 150
Office, second floor 150 200
Audiovisual, third floor 150 200

Check the station’s displayed progress before fetching another battery. Otto and Arora patrol upstairs, so plan a route away from each stationary charging task. Once all stations are powered, escort the Idol to Studio 3.

Studio 3: position and facing

Use the TV plan’s orientation, not a compass direction for the whole building:

  1. Put the Slit Lamp directly in front of the Idol, facing him.
  2. Put the Nurse below the Slit Lamp on the plan, between the lower Light and Camera positions. Turn her toward the Slit Lamp and Idol.
  3. Put the Camera at the plan’s lower-left position and turn it diagonally toward the Idol.
  4. Put the Light at the plan’s lower-right position and turn it diagonally toward the Idol.

If a prop blocks another object’s yellow rail, move the obstruction aside and finish the required object first. Search thoroughly with the UV Spotlight: Studio 3 separates letter and number clues. Complete the switchboard, then activate the Slit Lamp and escort the Idol onward.

Studio 4: turn cheering into booing

Use the Spotlight to identify the audience mannequin with the glowing Murkoff logo. Take its CHEERING cassette, bring it to the third-floor Audiovisual Recording Room and use the converter to record BOOING. Return it to the marked mannequin.

Repeat with the remaining highlighted mannequins until approval reaches 0%. Taking a cassette from an unmarked mannequin can cause an explosion. One or two Reagents need three converted cassettes; three or four need four.

The converter makes noise while you remain stationary. Create space from the Twins before using it, and prepare a route out of the room.

When the final saw becomes available, push it to complete the objective. Return to the Street, call and wait for the exit Shuttle, then leave while avoiding the Twins.
