None correct yet sorry.
None correct yet sorry.
got tired of backscrolling thorugh the threadOriginally Posted by Enjolras
my mind started wandering and i thought of being in the submarine getting the huge materia. and then i also thought of the crashed gelinka airship where you can run into the turks before your last in midgar
63% of statistics are made up on the spot.
Nothing to do with the Gelnika or huge materia.
Damn...I was hoping to come back and this riddle would be solved.
I don't have any ideas, but you told me to give the reasonings for my answers, and maybe you could give a hint based off them, so here they are:
The Heliotrope bounty - A heliotrope is a type of flower, or refers to the purple-ish color of that flower; and a bounty is either something plentiful, or something sought after. So the best I figure this line is talking about Aeris.
Following tragedy most final - I figure this line ties in with the previous, but tragedies and Aeris pretty much go hand-in-hand, so I haven't really narrowed down which tragedy this could be referring to.
Descent gains potency - At first I thought of descent as downward motion, but I'm starting to think it's used in terms of ancestry, which again could be referring to Aeris, or, for a change of pace, Sephiroth.
Ascend on with the great chronicle - No idea.
Aerith herself?
The Heliotrope bounty-Refers to Ilfalna(Aerith's mom).
Following tragedy most final-Ilfalna dies.
Descent gains potency-Using MrSchpagge's idea, Aerith is stronger than her mother.
Ascend on with the great chronicle-Great chronicle might refer to holy/the lifestream, where Aerith combines with(ascends on) it.
Got no theory other than the whole, summon thing is 'almost on the right track' does that mean a monster of sorts is it? Not that I can name any, just throwing questions at you.
(Is that even allowed)
I am not a man
Edit: Fixed Quote
Could the first line be referring to Ruby Weapon? "Bounty" as you have to kill it to get the "Heliotrope" (Desert Rose). Or does bounty refer to the Kalm Traveller sending you out to get it?
Tragedy... Sephiroth summoning Meteor? After all, it's the trigger to releasing the WEAPONs.
Hmmm, Emerald Weapon is under water and arguably the hardest enemy in the game.
Okay, this one has me stumped. It could be referring to Ultima Weapon, cause it's in the air, but then again, very vague. Maybe "ascending" out of the Northern Cave with Highwind when the WEAPONs appear and Sephiroth summons Meteor?
My guess would be the WEAPONs, then.
Edit 2: Oh, just noticed that the "Release of the WEAPONs" was already said. Whatever.
Wow, a bunch of posts all at once.
None correct in that last bunch, to try and get this kick started again I'll give you some big hints. Or, more specifically, some possibilities to eliminate.
(SPOILER)The answer is not a story event or single character, and has nothing to do with the WEAPONS.
Also,
Is it the monster boss you fight when you open the safe in the Shin-Ra mansion?
Is it the Magic Plus materia you find in the cave on your way out of the Forgotten Capital?
Absolutely correct!!
My reasoning was as follows:
The Heliotrope Bounty - The materia is a Heliotrope-like colour (Purplish-Pink) and is a bounty waiting to be found, so to speak.
Following tragedy most final -It is avaliable shortly after Aeris' death.
Descent gains potency - Descending the long ladder on the way out of the Forgotten City will take you to the materia, the effect of which makes your magic more potent.
Ascend on with the great chronicle - Ascending the ladder will continue the story as you head toward the North after the death of Aeris.
Sorry if it was a bit obscure, anyway, congratulations to MrSchpagge!!
Only took a month to solve that one, good job Enjolras.
Here's the new riddle:
I am the creeping retribution,
slow, but unyeilding.
I am the bane of the brutal,
the blood on their hands will be their undoing.
I am the killer of killers.
Is it the Tonberry?
My guess is that 'creeping retribution' and 'slow, but unyeilding' refer to its stately shamble toward you, while 'bane of the brutal', 'blood on their hands will be their undoing' and 'killer of killers' refers to it's Everybody's Grudge attack, which does damage based on how many enemies have been killed by the target.
I was hoping this would be an easy one, but no that easy.
Oh well, it's more enjoyable to try and figure out other people's riddles than wait for them to solve mine.
Your up again Enjolras
I'm gonna give up my turn to anyone who wants to put a riddle up, if I think of one and no-ones put one up in the nest couple of days I'll put one up.
