Channel: David C. Drake
Date: 2023-02-07

The first riddle encountered during the main quest of The Elder Scrolls: Arena, a classic open world fantasy RPG originally released in 1994. 🧝 This is the first of two riddles presented in the Dwarven ruins of Fang Lair. ⛏️ Accepted answers available here: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Arena:Fang_Lair_(quest)#Fang_Lair

Thou must prove thy worthiness to proceed to the Underdark. The correct answer will open the cell to the gold key, which will open the portal.

Rush not to answer mortal. The wrong choice will open the cell doors to the spiders...

As you near, the door itself speaks:

Listen to my puzzle, foolish mortal, and prove that you are worthy of my service...

If Cell 3 holds worthless brass, Cell 2 holds the gold key.
If Cell 1 holds the gold key, Cell 3 holds worthless brass.
If Cell 2 holds worthless brass, Cell 1 holds the gold key.

Knowing this, brave fool, and knowing that all that is said cannot be true, which cell contains the gold key?
