Need help with Quest 31, 'A Right Riddle,' in Dragon Quest XI S? We'll guide you to the Shellslime in the Bibliotheque and help you solve its tricky riddles for your rewards!

Alright, let's tackle Quest 31, "A Right Riddle." This one's a bit different because it involves some brainpower rather than just brute force! You'll need to head back to L’Academie during Act II to find a special monster who's got a challenge for you.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, make sure you're in Act II of the game. Once you are, travel to L’Academie and make your way to the Bibliotheque. Inside, you'll find a friendly (and riddle-loving) Shellslime. Chat with him to accept the quest.
  2. 2
    The Shellslime will present you with his first riddle. To solve it, you'll need to equip the Hero with a Steel Broadsword. If you don't have one already, you can forge it at any Camp's crafting table. Once equipped, talk to the Shellslime again, and he'll acknowledge your correct answer.
  3. 3
    For the second riddle, the Shellslime will ask you to equip a different weapon. This time, you'll need the Fizzle Foil. This particular sword isn't available at the start of Act II, so you'll need to travel to Gondolia. Head to the weapon shop there and purchase the Fizzle Foil. Once you have it, return to the Bibliotheque, equip the Hero with the Fizzle Foil, and speak to the Shellslime to complete his second riddle.
Tips
  • Don't forget to forge the Steel Broadsword at a Camp if you don't already have one. It's a pretty standard sword, so you might have picked it up earlier.
  • The Fizzle Foil can only be purchased in Gondolia, so plan your trip accordingly. It's worth it for the Mini Medals!
  • Make sure you equip the correct weapon *before* talking to the Shellslime after each riddle. The game checks your current equipment.
  • Mini Medal x5
