All Riddler Barley Answers in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Riddler Barley presents you with a series of riddles, each with its own unique twist. Here are all the answers you need to solve his puzzles:
| 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 onwards, Riddler Barley will ask you to wager groschen, starting with 100 and increasing to 150 for the third and fourth riddles. If you answer correctly, you have the option to either take the groschen or gain experience towards a random skill. Depending on your progress with Henry, choosing skill experience might be more beneficial, especially if you're also winning at dice games.
The riddles are designed to be engaging yet solvable. The second riddle is based on the number of legs each animal has, the third tests your memory, and the fourth involves calculating what each man is wearing.
