Tenderfoot Thahd Tutchbag Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Ok, so far I've found two differant riddles in Exile III, I got the first one but this second one is definatly throwing a hitch in my get-along. The riddle I've come across is in a dryad's grove just outside of the Ursagi/goblin infested canyon in the southwestern area of the continent. You can reach it in the unregistered version but to enter it you need to have registered. Upon entering the grove you see a dryad, weeping by the entrance, an ogre has entered her grove and is destroying her gardens and killing her pets and she is enlisting you to forcably remove it. As you travel into the depths of her grove (only one party member at a time) you come upon a gremlin. He says he's there to help you but it would be ungremlin-like of him to simply help you so he has to ask you a riddle. The riddle is: "I have a thousand little knives. My hands are red and white. You can give them to your maid. To make things turn out right. What am I?" I have no clue... any hints, ideas, or just straight out answers would be very appreciated, since once you enter the grove you cannot leave, making me very much stuck in the game.

Chittering Clawbug Italianhitman Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 oh geez, I think I just went passed them and beat it anyhow, supposedly it was hard but I have a very strong group. This was a topic not too long ago, why don't you check that for answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 The answer is "Rose." —Alorael, who will warn you that there are more riddles ahead. One is a pattern recognition puzzle even though it looks like something else entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Tutchbag Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 ohhh thanks that makes sense now, I don't understand the "thousand tiny knives" part, I suppose it's refering to thorns but I'd say a rose would have no more than 10-20 thorns ^^ thanks again for the help, now I can finally move on.

Tenderfoot Thahd Tutchbag Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Oh, Pishaw, and as it turns out: I didn't need the riddle anyway, I had already gone ahead and killed everything, I thought I needed the answer to get past the poppy flower glade but really it was just because I was stepping on the flower patches... stupid two dimentional graphics. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Spring Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 There is a riddle on the Isle of Bigail, in the Crypt, asked by a monster (can't remember the name of it) that is important if you want to get back out. Its easym but I won't spoil the surprise by supplying the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Tutchbag Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Yea, that was the first of the two riddles I came across, I think I got that one on my own... but I don't remember. I think it was something like, "I have two knives, long and red, I want to stick them in your head" Pretty simple but sometimes the easy ones can be tough if you're just not thinking on the right track. Funny thing is it might be simpler to just kill the guy to get past him ^^ it's what I usually do anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 What's interesting is that by saying 'fang', he doesn't attack you, but with 'teeth' he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I've always said teeth. Experience = good. That and that was the only working answer to the riddle I knew of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Spring Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I said 'fang' and then killed him. I said 'fang' because I wouldn't really call what he had teeth. Experience and brain power. EDIT: Can any-one remember the name of that monster? Not his actual name, just what he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 It was a ghast, wasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Tutchbag Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 yea, he was a ghast, and he was a lot easier to just kill and go past than the actual keeper of the crypt who's behind a moldy wall and a secret passage behind the ghast... so the whole riddle thing is kinda stupid.

Unflappable Drayk John S Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 1) *Quick*ghast. 2) The boss dude is not behind the quickghast. He is behind a wight or some such in a secret chamber off to the right of the quickghast chamber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Tutchbag Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 Nah, you can avoid the wight and ruby skeleton when going to the boss by simply not moving right after breaking down the wall and then going through the secret wall to the left. However, the wight and ruby skeleton are guarding a bit of a treasure trove... And yes, it's directly behind the riddling quick ghast. You can get there by breaking the wall next to the button he's standing in front of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious Artila Gorank Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Yes, Buppy, you can get to that in the unregistered game. The Spiral Crypt is in the woods on the Isle of Bigail. (NOT the northern part with Northpoint Lighthouse, you can't go that far north in the unregistered version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Spring Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Yes, you can. I would, however, strongly urge you to have a fairly decent party. There are a lot of skeletons. Save it before you go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
