How to Find Riddler Barley
Riddler Barley's riddles offer a fun diversion, but their solutions aren't always obvious. Below are the answers to all his questions:
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What belongs to you alone, but is used more often by others? | My name. |
| Once upon a time there was a fool of a farmer. Family he had none, no stable boys either, so he talked to his animals instead. And, good man that he was, whenever he made a groschen or two, he shared it with them according to his own rules. Every hen in the coop was paid five groschen, every bee in the hive 15, and the spider in the loft bagged a full 20 groschen. And now you tell me, how much did the cat get? | 10 groschen. |
| Jaromir the coachman hailed from Raborsch. One morning, he set off for Kuttenberg with an empty coach. Three lads boarded in Bohunowitz. When arrived in Bojischt, one of the boys got out and a washerwoman took his place. In Horschan, the washerwoman went on her way and a pedlar and his daughter boarded. In Pschitoky, the remaining lads alighted and took the pedlar’s daughter with them. And straightaway, two fishermen got in. And on reaching Kuttenberg that evening, they invited the coachman to the bathhouse and got pig-drunk. And now you tell me, what was the coachman’s name? | Jaromir. |
| A baliff has 12 men join up for service one day. The baliff was glad, but soon discovered that he didn’t have enough gear for them in the armoury. So those 12 men filed onto the square for the next morning’s roll call. Six of them were wearing body armour, four had helmets. Only three of them wore both a helmet and body armour. Now, tell me, how many men were unlucky enough not to have either a helmet or armour? | Five. |
From the second riddle onward, Barley ups the ante, challenging you to wager groschen. The stakes increase with each subsequent riddle (100, then 150 groschen). Winning earns you either the wager or skill experience. Strategically choosing between groschen and skill points, depending on your current progress, is key.
The riddles themselves are cleverly designed. The second uses the number of legs each animal has as a clue; the third is a test of memory; and the fourth involves simple arithmetic.
Pinpointing Riddler Barley's location is tricky; his appearances are random. However, your chances of encountering him increase by frequently fast traveling between settlements or simply exploring the open world. Keep an eye out for an NPC trying to get your attention – that's your cue to approach and begin the riddle-solving fun!
