How to unlock the Riddle me Wisp achievement in The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing - Definitive Guide
If you prefer a neat video over pictures, check at the end of this guide ( courtesy of Zasta 360GameTV)
There is 4 wisps located in 4 different zones of the game.
First one is in Croakwood, it's "named" the Nameless wisp ( for now...)
Location : http://hpics.li/bc88606
You have 3 choices to answer the riddle correctly :
You can say "I didn't take your name" and then allow Katerina to name it Hearthfire; you can say "Begone, evil spirit" and then name it Hearthfire yourself; or you can say "Begone, evil spirit" and then name it Lifespark. Any other responses will cause the wisp to attack you.
The second wisp is in Dreadworks
Location : http://hpics.li/bc9415b
Q : It begins but has no end... yet it ends all that begins
The third wisp is in The Old Town
Location : http://hpics.li/a03b640
Q : What is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything?
The last wisp is in The Pocket Realm
Location : http://hpics.li/a6e9f39
Q : I touch the earth, I touch the sky. If I touch you, you'll surely die!
If you need to unlock this achievement and you have already got at least 2 correct, simply close out the game session and restart it. If you only answered one correctly, end the session 3 times and start it up again.
(This does not work with the ink well achievement.)
There are four wisps that count toward this achievement in various locations of the game. You will have to choose specific dialogue choices to avoid them becoming hostile. Make sure you loot the item the wisps drop, as this seems to trigger the counter that you successfully tamed them. Click on the location names to see map locations.
1. Croakwood: Choose "I didn't take your name" then "No, but Katarina knows it. Don't you?"
2. Dreadworks: Choose "Death"
3. Old Town: Choose "42"
4. The Pocket Realm: Choose "Are you the Thunderbolt?"
Similar to a few of the other achievements in the game, this one often unlocks early. Mine unlocked after only two of the wisps, but not directly after doing the second one. The next day I started the game and it unlocked at the loading screen.
