Golden Ridge is the fourth chapter of Celeste. Preceded by the Celestial Resort and succeeded by Mirror Temple, it takes place on a windy cliff which scales Celeste Mountain. Within Celeste's main narrative plot, this chapter marks a significant turning point, being the "middle" chapter amongst the seven main chapters of the story. This chapter introduces several new elements to the game, including bouncy clouds and green orbs; it also marks Granny's first appearance since the prologue.

If Madeline chooses to continue talking to Granny, she'll ask about whether she gets many visitors or no; the answer is no. The mountain climber then comments about how she would want to live the same way, and how she genuinely wanted to help Mr. Oshiro. Granny then comments again about how there's "no hope" in saving him. Madeline then asks if she was fine living alone in her old cabin; she says that she has friends, and isn't a hermit. She then comments about how she found the mountain and knew that it should be her home, because it shows you who you are (reiterating what she previous said). Madeline then continues up the Golden Ridge. The wind becomes increasingly stronger as she makes it upwards, until it eventually reaches a point where she can barely move against the wind, and snowballs start bombarding her.
At the end of the chapter, Madeline finds a gondola, but then, Theo appears, falling from above. He then gets excited from seeing the gondola, and suggests taking it to cross a relatively deep valley to the other side. Whilst riding the gondola, Theo then asks how did it go with Oshiro; Madeline then tells her the truth, to which Theo replies, "I hate to say this, but...". Madeline interrupts him, knowing that she should've listened. Theo then comments that they have to get a selfie up here. As they take a photo, the gondola stalls out, and Badeline appears close by, but not within sight. Madeline then starts panicking, and the music, 10 • Anxiety intensifies. This continues, until Theo brings up a technique, taught to him by Carlos (his grandfather), on calming down; imagining a feather floating up and down. This calms Madeline down, and as soon as she is back to a state of relative normality, the gondola resumes to its destination. When they arrive, Madeline thanks Theo, who states that he thought that the gondola wouldn't continue, and shows her the selfie he took. |
