The Gold
Emblem is a crest which is housed underneath a bust, hidden in a secret room behind the Bar in the
Spencer Mansion. It appears to be finely crafted from gold, It also has signs that it's handled quite frequently; with scratches and other damage to the edges.
It can be removed from it's housing, and is designed to be replaced with the
Emblem.
One of the earliest puzzles in the game. The regular
Emblem from above the fireplace in the Dining Room can be taken and swapped with the Gold
Emblem. Obtaining the Gold
Emblem requires playing Moonlight Sonata on the piano. Jill can play the tune on the piano straight away, but Chris requires the aid of
Rebecca Chambers to learn the song and play it for him. The secret room closes automatically and traps the player when the Gold
Emblem is taken, so the regular
Emblem must be placed here to re-open it.
Once the player has the Gold
Emblem and has escaped the room, it can be placed above the fireplace in the Dining Room, where the grandfather clock in the room will move and the player will obtain the
Shield Key.
