The Riddles' mushroom ring.
The Riddles is a silver reward scroll challenge from Black & White. It is located on top of a small abode on the smallest Indian village of Land 2. It becomes available after the player converts the village.
In this challenge, a woman will ask the player if he/she can solve the riddles: she wants inside the ring of mushrooms something that howls of night, something hot and something unique to the player's creature. Then all must be protected. All items must be within the circle at the same time.
There is no good or evil way to solve this quest. There is only a neutral solution.
The Solution[]
The following steps will solve the riddle:
- Find and kill a wolf (so it won't try and flee the circle) which can be found sleeping during daytime at the forest right next to where the challenge is, or one of Lethys's villages, or at the forest right next the village where The Plague was.
- Place the wolf inside the ring.
- Plant a tree inside the ring.
- Place creature poop (from any creature. It doesn't have to be that of the player's) into the ring, away from the tree. If none can be found, feeding the creature and waiting will produce some.
- Set the tree on fire, taking care not to hit the poop.
- Cast a physical shield or spiritual shield around the ring.
Reward: the Zebra is unlocked as a usable creature.
Trivia[]
- If the woman's hut is destroyed, the player will be forced to rebuild it, if they intend to complete the challenge.
- There is a pack of five wolves that spawns at night in the forest on the other side of the village, then moves down to the beach, as part of this challenge to ensure that there are always some available. There is an unused hint about this that would say "You may find one drinking fresh water after dark." Due to a bug in the script they continue to spawn even after the challenge is completed. They are meant to go back to the forest at dawn, but more than one pack can end up staying on the beach, possibly from making it night time with the singing stones.
- The script calls the woman Annika.
