All Riddler Barley's Riddles and Answers in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Riddler Barley, a wandering NPC, presents riddles throughout the game's open world. Correct answers yield groschen or skill experience. Some riddles are challenging; therefore, the answers are listed below:
| Riddle | Answer |
|---|---|
| What belongs to you alone, but is used more often by others? | Your name. |
| A foolish farmer, lacking family and stable hands, spoke to his animals. He shared his earnings: 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, traveled to Kuttenberg. Three lads boarded in Bohunowitz; one alighted in Bojischt, replaced by a washerwoman. The washerwoman left in Horschan, replaced by a pedlar and his daughter. The lads left in Pschitoky, taking the daughter. Two fishermen boarded. What was the coachman's name? | Jaromir. |
| A bailiff had twelve men. Six wore body armor, four helmets, and three both. How many lacked both? | Five. |
From the second riddle onward, Barley proposes a groschen wager (100, then 150 for the third and fourth). Correct answers offer a choice: accept the wager or gain skill experience. Skill experience might be more beneficial than groschen, depending on Henry's progress.
The riddles' solutions are relatively straightforward: the second involves animal leg counts, the third tests memory, and the fourth requires simple arithmetic.
