Riddles



Riddles primarily test your RuneScape knowledge. If you remember most of the details you learned through quests and other information, you shouldn't have a problem with these. However, since there are usually one or two things that might have slipped your mind, here's a list of the current riddles. They are in alphabetical order after the first letter in the riddle (example: "My name is..." is under M).

**Note: When you go to some locations with chests or drawers, you may find that they are locked. If this happens, you will get a message giving you a hint about what to do next. The message might say "Beware of dog" or "It's a guard's life" or something similar when you try to open the chest/drawers. If you get a message like this, just look for it in the list that follows. Remember to have your clue scroll with you or else you will not get the key the monster drops.
