Aside from its beautiful visuals, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is no slouch in regard to storytelling. As Oliver and his friends find a way to help his mom get cured of a disease, he encounters the mysterious Horace, seemingly a ghost who lost his memories while exploring the world. During his conversations with Oliver, Horace will start to give riddles that players need to solve.

Aside from giving a bit of trivia to make the world of the Ni no Kunigame more engaging, these riddles actually contain prizes for players who can solve them. In fact, some of the game’s most useful spells are locked behind these riddles, making them a must-solve for players who want to maximize the experience.
Before fans of Ni no Kuni approach this questline, they would probably be interested as to why the riddles are being asked in the first place. This questline begins as soon as players meet Horace for the first time in the tombstone to the right of the Ding Dong Dell palace courtyard. It’s soon revealed that Horace is an old ghost appearing in the visage of a young boy, and is often reminiscing of his past.
As players begin having conversations with Horace, he will start appearing in various locations across the game world. Players need to use the Spirit Medium Spell in order to converse with Horace, and frequent interactions will initiate Horace’s riddles.

Players who answer his questions correctly would receive various rewards, primarily Spells and sometimes unlockables.
