All Riddler Barley's Riddle Answers in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Riddler Barley is a roaming NPC you might meet in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's open world. Each encounter presents a riddle; answer correctly, and you'll earn groschen or skill experience. Some riddles are tricky, so here are the answers:
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What belongs to you alone, but is used more often by others? | My name. |
| Once upon a time there was a foolish farmer. He had no family or stable boys, so he spoke to his animals. Whenever he earned money, he shared it with them. Each hen received five groschen, each bee fifteen, and the spider twenty. How much did the cat receive? | 10 groschen. |
| Jaromir, a coachman from Raborsch, journeyed to Kuttenberg with an empty coach. Three lads boarded in Bohunowitz. In Bojischt, one lad left, replaced by a washerwoman. In Horschan, the washerwoman left, and a pedlar and his daughter boarded. In Pschitoky, the remaining lads and the pedlar's daughter left, replaced by two fishermen. They reached Kuttenberg, went to the bathhouse, and got drunk. What was the coachman's name? | Jaromir. |
| A bailiff had twelve men join his service. He lacked enough equipment. Six wore body armour, four wore helmets, and three wore both. How many men had neither helmet nor armour? | Five. |
From the second riddle onward, Barley will propose a groschen wager, starting at 100, increasing to 150 for the third and fourth. Winning earns you either the wager or skill experience. Depending on Henry's progress, skill experience might be more beneficial than the money, especially if you're already winning dice games. The riddles are deceptively simple; the second involves animal legs, the third is a memory test, and the fourth a simple calculation.
