FF6 Riddles !

[Inferno]

Since the riddles thread in the FF7 forum is very popular, I thought FF6 should have his own too.

Basic rules:
1. Only one riddle can be solved at a time.
2. Whoever solves the riddle gets to post their own
3. If the solver refuses to post a new riddle, the riddler can select another person to go, or leave it up to the next person who posts.
4. Giving hints is optional
5. You may post more than one answer for a riddle, but use your common sense and try not to guess too often

All right let's start with an easy one :

Tough I am weak
I could have been eternal
But on that day
I disappeared forever

[blackmage_nuke]

Valiant Knife?

[Inferno]

Nope

[Vermachtnis]

Biggs and Wedge!

[silent_symphony]

Is it magic?
(bad guess)

[Inferno]

Nah

[Flying Mullet]

Gehstal?

[Inferno]

Hint : not a person

[blackmage_nuke]

Espers or magicite!?

[Vermachtnis]

Odin

[Flying Mullet]

The ghost that joins your party on the phantom train when he possesses someone in battle?

[Inferno]

Nooo

[silent_symphony]

Err.. The World of Balance?
(it disappeared..)

[Inferno]

Ok maybe it's a little bit too vague. I'll add something

Without a leader
You can't pass through me
Tough I am weak
I could have been eternal
But on that day
I disappeared forever

[Umaro_Smash]

Ok maybe it's a little bit too vague. I'll add something

Without a leader
You can't pass through me
Tough I am weak
I could have been eternal
But on that day
I disappeared forever

The Sealed Gate?

[silent_symphony]

Hmm.. Vector?

[Inferno]

No. But both are good guess.

[silent_symphony]

The Returners Hideout/Headquarters

[blackmage_nuke]

the imperial base before the cave to the sealed gate?

[Inferno]

The Returners Hideout/Headquarters

Getting closer...

[blackmage_nuke]

Lete River?

[Inferno]

Yes !

Without a leader
You can't pass through me (Banon has to survive the trip)
Tough I am weak (low level monsters)
I could have been eternal (possibility to go up and turn in circles for eternity)
But on that day (creation of the WOR)
I disappeared forever

Your turn blackmage_nuke

[silent_symphony]

Aww.. I was soooo close.. guess I should have logged in earlier.. but that's alright..

[blackmage_nuke]

Someone else can take my turn

[Flying Mullet]

The choices you make
will haunt you forever
except for me
who will serve you better

[silent_symphony]

Edgar's kingmanship? ( i dunno how to put it )

[Vermachtnis]

General Leo

[Flying Mullet]

Nope and nope, but you're on the right track.

[I Don't Need A Name]

Shadow?

[Flying Mullet]

Closer.

[silent_symphony]

Terra?

[Inferno]

Baram

[Flying Mullet]

Nope.

[silent_symphony]

Hmmm... Sabin

[blackmage_nuke]

Interceptor?

[I Don't Need A Name]

Striker?

[Inferno]

Memento ring

[Vermachtnis]

Gestahl?

[Flying Mullet]

Sorry, not correct yet. Let me add to the riddle.

The choices you make
will haunt you forever
except for me
who will serve you better
than a silly bauble
that will shine in your hair

[I Don't Need A Name]

WHITE MATERIA LOLOLOL
Earring? xD

[silent_symphony]

Cyan's Past?

[Inferno]

Choosing Mog instead of the Gold hairpin

[Flying Mullet]

Choosing Mog instead of the Gold hairpin
We have a winner!

Technically the answer is Mog, but this is close enough.

[Inferno]

Yay. Anyone can take my turn

[Inferno]

Sorry for the double-post, I tried editing but it did not bring to topic back to the top, so... okay I'll go

Because of you
One became free
Thanks to you
One remained free

[Flying Mullet]

If you want to edit so the topic move back to the top, you can copy the contents of your old post, then delete it. Then paste in your old contents and append to it, then post it and you'll have an "edited" post which will flag the thread with a new post. :)

Hrm, Locke, when he freed Celes and they fell in love?

[Vermachtnis]

Madiun at the sealed gate? Terra was the only one to remain free.

[Inferno]

If you want to edit so the topic move back to the top, you can copy the contents of your old post, then delete it. Then paste in your old contents and append to it, then post it and you'll have an "edited" post which will flag the thread with a new post.

Right, so simple hehe.

But nope !

[doeboyfresh14]

atma weapon

you set the atma weapon free when you defeat him, thus freeing him from the empire?

and the sword remains free because you keep it as a weapon :confused:

[Inferno]

No.
The "you" refers to what we're searching for... not the player

[Flying Mullet]

Celes, helping Cid become free of the Empire and then he stays free when he dies happy on the island?

[Kyros]

I havent played this in YEARS so I may be remembering this completely wrong (really meaning to replay it b/c its one of my favorites and its been driving me crazy how a lot of the game has faded from me >.<)

isnt there a part where you free 2 espers and you get to choose to take one with you and the other is set free? or something to that effect happens with them I cant remember specifically T_____T

[Inferno]

Nope, but getting closer by mentioning Celes

[doeboyfresh14]

is it locke? he set celes free from the chains. and then let rachel free for ever by bringing her back so she could forgive him and die in peace?

[Inferno]

Good thinking, but no

[Shadowdust]

I really have no idea but here goes a guess....

Could it be the esper Phoenix? Phoenix freed Rachel from her coma and through that Rachel was able to release Locke from his burden of guilt.

[Inferno]

Nope.

Because of you
One became free
Thanks to you
One remained free

Hint : it's not a person, not an esper, it's an object

[Shadowdust]

Nope.

Because of you
One became free
Thanks to you
One remained free

Hint : it's not a person, not an esper, it's an object

So when you say object, are you referring to an inventory object or a field object (ex. raft, airship, etc.)?

[Inferno]

Yeah a field object. But not something impossible to find like Sabin's favorites dishes. The object is somehow part of the story.

[Flying Mullet]

The key on the sleeping soldier to the clock that helped to free Celes?

[Wolf Kanno]

South Figaro?

[blackmage_nuke]

Love?

[Inferno]

Love is an object ?! :erm:

Because of you
One became free
Thanks to you
One remained free
Is it destiny ?
Or is it just premeditated ?

[Shadowdust]

Edgar's double headed coin. Because of that coin, Sabin was allowed to be free of his royal responsibility. That very same coin saved Celes from having to marry Setzer.

[Vermachtnis]

The Falcon? It set her free and let the world remain free. It was Setzer's destiny to get it? I dunno grasping at straws.

[Inferno]

Edgar's double headed coin. Because of that coin, Sabin was allowed to be free of his royal responsibility. That very same coin saved Celes from having to marry Setzer.

Big winner !

[Shadowdust]

:D It's all thanks to the last two lines you added. I was just about to post that I give up and need to play FFVI more. :p

Anyway, I suck at making riddles so anyone is welcome to my turn. :)

[Inferno]

Me again, hmm why not !? Here we go :

My homonym is no friend
Being possessed by only one
I might come in handy
To make them burn in hell

[Chaos Mage]

Wow I'm lost on that one. Usually I'm pretty good at these things.

[Vermachtnis]

Ifrit?

[Inferno]

No

[Chaos Mage]

Is it Terra?

[Inferno]

No

[TehIrishViking]

Atma Weapon?

[Inferno]

No

[TehIrishViking]

hrmm, well then......

I NEED AN ADULT, I NEED AN ADULT!

[Vermachtnis]

Meltdown/Metron, I think Terra is the only one who can learn that.

[Flying Mullet]

It's the homonym portion of the riddle that has me stumpped.

[Inferno]

Meltdown/Metron, I think Terra is the only one who can learn that.
She does learn it naturally, but she's not the only one who can 'possess' this power. You're in the right direction tough.


It's the homonym portion of the riddle that has me stumpped.
Actually, I think it's the line that may help you the most.

Repost :
My homonym is no friend
Being possessed by only one
I might come in handy
To make them burn in hell

[doeboyfresh14]

is it terra's morph ability?

[Inferno]

No

[TehIrishViking]

Thinking the Paladin Shield because only one can equip it at a time?

[Inferno]

No

[TehIrishViking]

Rage Skill?

[Inferno]

No

[TehIrishViking]

I'm stumped....

Wrexsoul?

[Inferno]

Nope

[Flying Mullet]

Can you give us a hint or add another line(or two) to the riddle?

[Inferno]

Can you give us a hint or add another line(or two) to the riddle?
Of course !

Not a weapon, not a piece of equipment, not an object, not an item

[TehIrishViking]

Shadow?

[Inferno]

No

[Vermachtnis]

Crusader? Do Espers count as equipment?

[Inferno]

No, and no they don't count as equipment

[Greatermaximus]

Since this one is hard I'm going to multi-guess. It's probably a spell over a person because of the Merton reference.

I'm going to guess Flare, Light of Judgment or Lore like L.4 Flare enemy, or Exploder? Otherwise this is really hard.

[Inferno]

All wrong... but keep going

[Shadowdust]

The riddle sounds like something to do with the Phantom Train. Perhaps the ghost ally that possesses your enemy for instant death to both? Is that at least the right direction?

[Inferno]

No, Greatermaximus was in the right direction

[blackmage_nuke]

Maybe its an esper move, i'll also make multi guesses
Cleansing/Purifier, Inferno/hellfire, Flame of rebirth/Life giver, Pheonix?

Those were all the fire based ones i can think of
the homonym bit has me stumped though

I might as well try some monsters too:
Level 90 Magic, Mover, Daedalus/Didalos, Hexadragon
L.90 magic is the most likely as its the one where Meltdown can be used by Sketch/Control and not by Rage

[Inferno]

You found it... just think which of these has an homonym and you'll have the answer

[Flying Mullet]

Ahh, is it Ifrit's attack Inferno and the boss with the name Inferno?

[blackmage_nuke]

The only thing i can think of is Purifier? I barely met her

Edit: Oh damn all this time I had homonymn confused with homophone, that threw me off, otherwise i wouldve looked through the bestiary for enemies instead of sitting here trying to pronounce everything in every way possible

[Flying Mullet]

And I didn't even think of the names of the esper's attacks. I did check the Lores without any luck. I didn't look at the Rage list though, as that sounded daunting.

[Inferno]

Ahh, is it Ifrit's attack Inferno and the boss with the name Inferno?
And there you go !!

The line
To make them burn in hell
was a bit tricky ... definition here (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/inferno)

[Vermachtnis]

I feel cheated. I said Ifrit as my first guess :x

[Flying Mullet]

Well blackmage_nuke did most of the leg work, so I think he should post the next riddle if he'd like to.

[Inferno]

I feel cheated. I said Ifrit as my first guess :x
I know ! But at the time (2nd guess overall), I couldn't have said you were close... you would have guessed right away.

[blackmage_nuke]

Im bad at making riddles so someone else can post the next one

[Vermachtnis]

Alright I got one.

Oval after the Square.
Relic of the dead.
Be careful, may be full of empty calories.

[TehIrishViking]

Gonna start obvious,

Relic Ring?

[Vermachtnis]

Nope

[Inferno]

Exp. egg ?

[Vermachtnis]

Bingo! Well Growth Egg, but meh, semantics. You got it!

[Flying Mullet]

Since no one has posted a new riddle, I'll throw one out there.

Sometimes with hail,
sometimes with rain,
I slice to the bone,
for the one in pain.

[Jiro]

Desperation attacks?

[Flying Mullet]

Nope.

[doeboyfresh14]

the slice attack from odin/raiden?

[bipper]

Maudin

[Flying Mullet]

No dice.

[Inferno]

Valiant Knife

[Flying Mullet]

No, but closer.

[Vermachtnis]

Blizzard Sword?

[doeboyfresh14]

Atma Weapon (the weapon, not the boss)

[Flying Mullet]

No.

[Vermachtnis]

Mog's Dance Water Rondo

[Flying Mullet]

Non.

[blackmage_nuke]

Kaiser Dragon?

[Flying Mullet]

Nope.

[TehIrishViking]

Cyan's SwdTech Skill Cleave? (Number 8)

[Flying Mullet]

Nope.

[Inferno]

Getting closer with Valiant knife hey? Doesn't even help me. I don't have a clue... I'll say Wing Edge

[Flying Mullet]

Nope.

[doeboyfresh14]

i vote for an extra clue. i'm stumped. :confused: haha

[Flying Mullet]

Sometimes with hail,
sometimes with rain,
I slice to the bone,
for the one in pain,
seeing loved ones
ride the train.

[Inferno]

Tempest, my final guess

[I Don't Need A Name]

Cyan's Dispatch?

[Flying Mullet]

Tempest, my final guess
Yarr, a winnar is you! :monster:

[Inferno]

Damn !! I thought about it right at the beginning, but the "I slice to the bone" line got me all confused. Oh well... I'll think about something, but if someone wants to try something just go ahead !

[I Don't Need A Name]

Ahh, Tempest was the one I was thinking of xD

[Chaos Mage]

so what's the next riddle?

[Inferno]

An easy one... I think

Nowhere to buy me
Nowhere to find me
To help the beast
Try the dragon's neck

[doeboyfresh14]

is it crusader?

[Flying Mullet]

My guess it is something that can only be stolen. And perhaps equipped by Umaro? But I can't think of anything that is only stolen in the game.

[Inferno]

is it crusader?
No

[blackmage_nuke]

My guess is something that can only be won at the colleseum, Illumina?

[Inferno]

No

[Vermachtnis]

Midgardsormr?

[Inferno]

Midgardsormr?

Huh Terrato I guess ? I've only played the original version... but no sorry

[Wolf Kanno]

Shadow

[Inferno]

No

[doeboyfresh14]

Marvel Shoes?

[Inferno]

Nope

[Wolf Kanno]

No but you are onto something with Kefka's tower, just a quarter of the way though...

[Flying Mullet]

Atma?

[Wolf Kanno]

Yes! (and you are still dead to me!!!)

[Flying Mullet]

Here's my next riddle:

Second to blond,
Never the best,
Fried 50 soldiers,
when put to the test.

:p

[Inferno]

Terra

[blackmage_nuke]

Terra seems too obvious,

Magitek?

[Flying Mullet]

Terra
That's the answer!

I was picking on WK. :p

[Wolf Kanno]

At least Terra was in Dissidia, Celes wasn't even considered. :colbert:

[Inferno]

Terra
That's the answer!

I was picking on WK. :p

I knew this was way too easy

[musenji]

Here's really easy riddle just to get the thread going, because riddles are awesome:


If you're looking, I can be found
in a cafe with a whistling sound.

[blackmage_nuke]

Shadow?

[musenji]

It's aliiiiiiive!

Yep, your turn!

[blackmage_nuke]

i dont feel like making riddles someone else can go.

[dunit697]

greatest speed in the universe
yet a very slow process >in the real world (hint)
what could be worse

[Hollycat]

the length it takes to learn haste?

[Inferno]

quick

[dunit697]

no and no, i am not a great riddle maker, but try to solve in parts in relation to the real world. Obviously the answer is something in VI but you need to use real world references to figure it out

[Hollycat]

holy

[dunit697]

closer

[Hollycat]

slow for real but fast in fake.....hm......
metamorphisis? or regen?

[dunit697]

Think of it in two parts, fastest in real and fake for the first word
slow for the last

[Wolf Kanno]

Meteor

[dunit697]

holy and meteor were close, u guys got this, what is the FASTEST THING IN THE UNIVERSE? followed by a slow process in our world, not one word!

[Hollycat]

light time
light counting sand
light life
light getting through the anoying part of kingdom hearts at the beginning
light quicksand
light aging
light old
Inferno growing (sorry had to say it)
light growth
light writing an essay about the treaty of versailles

[dunit697]

close on all, yes, light corect, light ____________

[blackmage_nuke]

light of judgement?

I hear the courts are pretty slow

[dunit697]

YESSS LIGHT OF JUDGEMENT!!! ur turn!!

[blackmage_nuke]

someone else can make a riddle

[Hollycat]

sad face, I havent played it recently enough to make a good riddle

[dunit697]

easy one
I have mysterious powers
my grandpa is very good with magic
I'll make monsters hit the showers
yet have a story so tragic

[Hollycat]

gau....
wait aminute... his grandpa didnt, so...
that girl with the paint brush

[dunit697]

It's not Gau or relm

[Wolf Kanno]

Terra

[Hollycat]

I dont remember her grandpa mentioned, I remember her father......

I need to play 6 again.
but I want to buy it for real..... no one has it cheap..........

[Vermachtnis]

Mog

[dunit697]

U got it kanno, terra

[Wolf Kanno]

The grandfather through people off but I figured since daddy was an esper, grandpa was as well. ;)

Worn of green that knows no bounds
a sword tis still, glory unfound
a shadow comes, that steals the sound
forsaken power, leaves dumbfound
No tears from allies can be found.

[dunit697]

Kefka

[Wolf Kanno]

Nope

[Vermachtnis]

Odin

[dunit697]

Twas thinking odin too

[Wolf Kanno]

You know, with a bit of tweaking this riddle would fit Odin...

...and no it's not him either. ;)

[Hollycat]

fake sigfried

[Wolf Kanno]

Nope

[Inferno]

I'm kinda lost here. If it's not Raiden, a hint would be nice

[Wolf Kanno]

Worn of green that knows no bounds
a sword tis still, glory unfound
a shadow comes, that steals the sound
forsaken power, leaves dumbfound
No tears from allies can be found.

A moment left, a tragedy met,
a guilty past, kind words at last
love and hate, consume his fate

I thought this one would be easy... but that's not happening. Hopefully this will clue you in before I have to make a very obvious clue. It's actually tough to be cryptic about this character.

[Hollycat]

shadow, and how he can be left behind

[Wolf Kanno]

Nope, remember the first line cause it makes this a short list.

[Inferno]

I'm colorblind, it ain't fair :(

[Wolf Kanno]

Ask a friend

[Jiro]

I assume the character sprites will be green then. This basically leaves us with (as I remember) Edgar, Terra... I can't think of any others. Locke wears blue, even though I originally thought is was him.

I will guess Edgar then. I really have no idea!

[Wolf Kanno]

No, its not Edgar. You're close with the sprite though...

[Jiro]

The green has some relevance to a sprite, and after some thinking I've also added Bannon and Gilgamesh to that list.

The sword reference reinforces Gilgamesh (I'll point out now he is my guess to save confusion) as a possibility. The second half of those three middle lines in the first stanza are also strangely relevant on their own. "Glory unfound" makes me think of treasure being unfound - because Gilgamesh nicks ("steals") it and then leaves the party "dumbfound". It's shaky as all sin, I admit, but it's 1am and that's all I've got going for me atm.

The last stanza probably references his backstory or something, I'm not familiar (I should be!). But there's all those little hints you've dropped that point near here (Odin: Odin's castle is underground through Figaro which you get to through Figaro Cave or whatever and there Gilgamesh nicks treasure; not cryptic: he's a pretty straightforward character as far as I remember, he just nicks your stuff and runs away from fights and is mysterious).

[Hollycat]

Isnt he fake sigfried on the train?

[Wolf Kanno]

It's not Gilgamesh, he doesn't have a sprite in the game. :p

It's not Fake Siegfried either.

I'll add a new stanza and if no one can get it by this point I'll just reveal the answer...

Long before the flower's lost
Rumors spoke of honor reborn
Men's search reaped time forever lost
Devil's tongue word's became forewarn.

[Hollycat]

lockes fiance

[Wolf Kanno]

No, it's not Rachael.

[doeboyfresh14]

is it the imp?

[Rantz]

Could it be General Leo?

[Hollycat]

jumbotuar

[Wolf Kanno]

Could it be General Leo?

We have a winner!


Worn of green that knows no bounds - Wears a snazzy green outfit.


a sword tis still, glory unfound - Got killed before joining the party


a shadow comes, that steals the sound - Kefka used a shadow to fool Leo and Killed him


forsaken power, leaves dumbfound - Leo refused Magitech infusion but was killed by a Magitech Knight


No tears from allies can be found. - The empire certainly didn't bury him...


A moment left, a tragedy met, - Leo left the base camp that gave Kefka the opportunity to poison Doma


a guilty past, kind words at last - He confesses he felt guilty about knowing what the empire did to Terra and then gives her advice.


love and hate, consume his fate - Leo is loved by the Empire but hated by Kefka who is jealous/


Long before the flower's lost
Rumors spoke of honor reborn
Men's search reaped time forever lost
Devil's tongue word's became forewarn.

The last passage is a reference to the fact that before the whole "Resurrect Aerith" rumor the biggest time waster rumor in the series was trying to resurrect Leo. Which is impossible without a hacked game.

[Rantz]

Aside from the "no tears from allies" line that I couldn't figure out, and the last stanza (I never heard of those rumors), I had most of my reasoning right :)

I haven't even finished this game, so I'll just do a really easy one so I don't mess up.

The prodigal son
False rumours: Half Oedipal
For faulty reasons

[Hollycat]

edgar. wait.
no.
Vargas!!!!

[Rantz]

Vargas is correct. :)

[Elskidor]

The grandfather through people off but I figured since daddy was an esper, grandpa was as well. ;)

Worn of green that knows no bounds
a sword tis still, glory unfound
a shadow comes, that steals the sound
forsaken power, leaves dumbfound
No tears from allies can be found.


Wow, I thought anyone could get that on the first day. that first line is just so obvious. I'm afraid to answer, because not sure about my riddling skills.

[Hollycat]

I am the storms hero, the lightbulbs lord, and the golfers villian
I am the all father, I am the old one, I am the one with big whiskers.


If you cant get this riddle, it means you have never played a ff game... ever

[Vermachtnis]

Humbaba!

[Hollycat]

nope

[Wolf Kanno]

Ramuh

[Hollycat]

YEP

[Jiro]

I totally meant Siegfried when I said Gilgamesh. Gosh, how did I forget his name.

[Wolf Kanno]

A possible tough one...

I have no name, to bore you with
ancient treasures are my gift
A surprise guest from old school myth
a choice of action leads to rift.

Hint: the third line is deceptive.

[Hollycat]

gogo?

[Wolf Kanno]

Nope, and before anyone answers, I'll give another hint by saying it's not Gilgamesh either.

[Rantz]

Lete River?

[Brennan]

Uh, Shadow?
Kinda jumped on and saw that riddle, so if there's some kind of rule that you can't use the same answer twice through all riddles, then sorry if I messed that up

[Wolf Kanno]

Nope on both

[Vermachtnis]

Lone Wolf

[doeboyfresh14]

ragnarok?

[Wolf Kanno]

No on both but...


Lone Wolf

You're really close...

[Hollycat]

silver lobo

[Jiro]

I wonder if it might be Impresario. He's unnamed, and I'm fairly sure his house is full of ancient treasures, one of which might be the old school myth. Also that deal in WoR with him could be the rift. It's all I've got, sorry :p

The old school myth line is a good one though. I thought Lone Wolf first too, especially because he appears in V as well (not exactly old school in comparison to VI, but still!).

[Hollycat]

by the rift do you possibly mean cyan's dream, he talks old school

[Wolf Kanno]

No on all of them so far but you are on the right trail with Impresario even if I do count Impresario as a name... :shifty:
