As previously stated, the answers to each riddle can be found in poems located across the Astrolabe Realm and are obtained by completing Bastilles or clearing infestations. These can be hard to track down, so if you want to get this quest completed in a hurry, here are all five riddles, and where you can find their codex entries and the answers. 

The order in which you need to answer these riddles may vary, with riddles four and five in particular occasionally being switched, but the answers will remain the same. You’ll need to have completed each Bastille before Taliesin will accept your answer to the riddle. 

Getting an answer wrong will place a curse on you, but this is nothing more than making you tired and hungry. To counter this, make sure to have some food on hand and place a Bed Roll down to get some rest if needed.

Riddle one

“I shall drift to and fro

Do you know my tale of woe?

I must say, I’m quite shy

Yet I linger in their shrine

For I must guard all their words

What am I that Fae spurned?”

Location: Bastille of Insight

Answer: Wisps

Riddle two

“Clear my fears and claim my land

Wipe your tears and make your stand

If you stay, we shall fight

Come what may, hold on tight

Which little beastie does not bite?”

Location: Infestation

Answer: The Darkweaver

Riddle three

“Here, now here, now here

Chimes for you to hear

Unite my light and win true sight

Of what gave Fae their first fright

I’m still there for you to pry

What am I?”

Location: Bastille of Intellect

Answer: Hope Echoes

Riddle four

“There is a secret to this place

A wonder that stood with such grace

It is here I made my climb

To claim lost treasures lost to time

One more flower for my crown of fame

Which of these is not my name?”

Location: Bastille of Agility

Answer: Eliffin

Riddle five

“Rah Rah Rah

Make them ooh, make them ah

Seize thy sword, put them down

Cast thy spell, take their crown

The crowd awaits for us all

But, for whom do they call?”

Location: Bastille of Might

Answer: The Nameless Warrior
