Dark Souls Living Riddles With Rules #1 (concluded but ongoing)

Mr. Tart wrote:Both of Rynn's riddles, i've thought of the answers now, but i went with the conclusions that they were just silly and not possibly the answer.

Should thank you actually, was originally going with bonfire but once you said it, knew it had to be warping. When i saw bonfire i was either going to kill or hug you.

Someone else go instead of me, in work at the moment and the brain is working on other things.

Yeah~ Part of the reason I don't like the guess limits. If there was no limit to guessing, you might guess the "Silly" guesses just in case.

An oak tree's heart is where I'm your finest treasure

The Great Hollow is easiest left by warping.

A painted trap the finest pleasure

The painted world of ariamis is only reached throuh a warp.

An eye could bring you straight into me

The red eye orb, the blue eye orb

An eye could bring "friends" straight through me

The Eyes of death, friends is written in quotations because the people sent aren't really friendly.

Fond memories are made through me

One memorizes the locations they can warp too if they play the game too much, and most people consider Dark Souls a fond memory.

Fond injuries are forged with me

A reference to both dueling and to dying: both are experiences many people find, while frustrating, fun.

Prisons are found only with me

Without cheating, the only way to reach the dukes prison is a warp.

Light Gwyn's fire and you'll come straight to me

Beating the game warps you to the beginning.

Run out of estus, and you may meet me

You only may meet a teleportation: You could easily get back to the bonfire without dying.

Touching my bones could take you to me

A homeward bone takes you through a warp. But nothing stops you from using one even if you're right next to the bonfire.

Some magicians, claim they know me

Homeward: It's a miracle.

Some cats promise to take you to me

Alvina teleports you to the forest to fight.

I promise friend, we'll often meet

Teleportation happens often in Dark Souls

but bleak is that fate, because you'll never stay with me

Teleportation is short lived.

Ugh, that's very ambiguous

Actually, each clue narrows down the possibilities. None of the prior guesses fit =every= single clue.

The only line I disagree with is "Some magicians, claim they know me"

It kinda suggests Sorceries rather than Miracles.

A magician losely refers to anyone that uses magic.

True, it's not riddle-breaking or even close to riddle-breaking, just something that would've thrown me off if I'd been on the right track (I wasn't, as it happens)

Took that one as pyro, fire, bonfire,warp.

12) You may submit up to 3 riddles per thread, and have 3 riddles entered into the "riddle off" poll.

@Rynn

You have a beatufiul imagination. I'm an artist myself and I appreciate the fine arts on a very deep level. Thank you for all of your contributions.

@everyone

I have several riddles, poems, and short stories I saved over the years and am constantly writing new things.

If you read the rules, you'll see they were designed for US...not me. So now I have to enforce a rule that affects YOU not me.

I dont know how you guys would want me to handle this. I have to go to the hispital, then work, then back to the hospital.

I'll check back later on what the general consensus is.

Technically the guesser deferred and the floor is open, but like I said, the rules were a template I designed to benefit the forum and playing a riddle game that isnt so confusing.

So, its the forum that should decide I guess. I think 4 riddles in one contest is a little much, but what the he|| do I know? My mind is on my father-in-law in the hospital right now.

And again....PLEASE keep the downvotes to trolling only.

Rynn is participating and could've easily not read the rule,ofrgotten about it.....jeez.....

Anyways, please readprevious post and comment,



thanks, maaal

***EDIT***

Someone actually gave me a downvote for post number 1, I call jealousy lol. Does this thread and its rules just suckballz or something?

Hrm... perhaps limit it to 3 for the "Riddle off" but let people post more than 3?

Maybe have a time limit? E.g If you've posted 3 riddles in the thread, the floor has to be open for 24 hours before you can post another...

Not sure, but just something so that the thread doesn't die if there's a slow patch.

*snip

I mistook something and was wrong, what I said makes no sense what-so-ever.

I didn't mean having 2 riddles at once, but if the floor had been open for 24 hours and nobody had posted a new riddle. In that case, someone who's already posted 3 could have another go, so that there's a Riddle for people to guess.

I believe that's only my third riddle... did I break a rule somewhere?

Rynn wrote:I believe that's only my third riddle... did I break a rule somewhere?

I think it's more a preventative rule, so that more people get a chance to post riddles of their own.

I want to point out you hit a load screen every single time you warp.

I believe the floor is open... so... I'll have a go:

I stand tall
Though I fly
I also fall
Hear my cry
I'll spoil your fun
Prepare to die
Or else run!

Category: people

This may prove to be very easy, but I think we're due for an easier one. Good luck!

Incorrect.

I feel much better now. I was terrified it was only going to take one guess.

no, yes, no.

To be clear the answer is "a harpie".


I stand tall
literally and figuratively harpies are tall and perch on the highest points in the painted world.
Though I fly
I also fall
For some reason these stupid things can fall to their death even though they fly. The winged demons in Anor Londo have wings, but hop without really flying; much like chickens. It's also a metaphor for their prowess as an enemy, they can be quite tough at times and other times they figuratively and literally fall flat on their face.
Hear my cry
I'll spoil your fun
They shreak before they do that jump on your head attack that you have to sit and watch forever, even if death is inevitable... very annoying; not fun... :evil:
Prepare to die
Or else run!
The aforementioned attack is often fatal, so avoiding it at all costs is advisable. And I fit "prepare to die" into my riddle, yay! :arrow: :|


...I told you it'd be easy.

Magicians do not claim to know loading screens.

Rynn wrote:I believe that's only my third riddle... did I break a rule somewhere?

No I'm sorry Rynn, the last one you submitted was 4. I could employ the "sub-thread clause", but that was really reserved for correct guesses on a riddle that has been unverified by the riddle author for an extended period of time.<--WRONG See nxt post

Besides, there is another riddle thread we all know of where fun can still be had: Riddle Competition

Zephryl wrote:...I think it's more a preventative rule, so that more people get a chance to post riddles of their own....

This would be correct.

I seen the suggestions for Rynn's 4th riddle submitted, but seen zero recommendations to forgo the rule entirely.
So, in accordance with the rules established before the problem arose...<--[color=red]AGAIN WRONG SEE NEXT POST[/color]] (Because of the solver's deferment)...
...and his riddle would be next in succession and has since been solved.<--WORNG WRONG WORNG BAD ANIMAAAL!!!

***I'll be editing in the meantime. I'll check back to see if my ruling as a Riddle Ref is supported or disputed.
Thanks again for everyones civility and participation, maaal

Are you certain Animaal? I seriously only count 3.

A flicker, a flare
Fiery Pools filled with dispair
and The Oaken Heart.
