Riddles of BGII (Possible SPoilers)

The Cavalier · 11-29-2002, 02:59 PM

There are many riddles in BG2, and I thought about this half way through the game, but someone should compile a list of them. Has somebody done that already?

Those riddles are so damn EASY!

The only hard one is the one with the items in Bodhi's gauntlet.

They are easy, but it'd be nice to have them (I thought of this because my brothers were asking each other riddles today).

I only keep a logbook of certain puzzles. Riddles such as the ones in Bodhi's Gauntlet are easy enough as it is already.

puzzles like in game puzzles, or riddle puzzles?

You want a hard riddle?
This is from the Planescape Torment (there are no answers offered - to find the answer is a quest).
There is a trick in it. After you find it, the answer is obvious.

"Think of words which end in '-GRY.' Angry and hungry are two of them. There are but three words in the Common Tongue... what is the third word? The word is something that one uses every day. If thou hast listened carefully, I have already told thee what it is."

U know Betratyal at Krondor? WOW, there are some really nasty riddles.. cant remember something now, but it kept me banging my head into the walls for a couple of hours.. in compare to that, BG's riddles are really easy..

The sad part about the Asylum riddles (both with the Statue of Riddles and the ones that you answer as part of your examination on the way out) is that they're all multiple-choice. How tough can a riddle be if it's multiple-choice? Sadly, the limitations of the game engine allow for nothing else. What they SHOULD have done, though, is have each question check out your INT and WIS scores to determine whether or not you're even allowed to give the correct answer.

Here's a neat poser, though:
The person that made it, doesn't tell anyone he made it.
The person that owns it, doesn't know that he owns it.
The person who knows about it, wants to give it to others.
What is it?

counterfeit money.
