How to unlock the Riddle me Wisp achievement in The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing - Definitive Guide

This solution is brought to you thanks to the website Gamebanshee about Van Helsing.
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!

im pretty sure if you do the first wisp 4 times with 4 different people it counts. might be a glitch

I can confirm that this is glitched.
I started playing on regular character. I answered first and maybe (not 100% certain) second wisp. Then I created a Hardcore character which I played to same spot as regular character and answered to first and second wisp.

Next time I launched the game, riddle me wisp popped right after loading screens we're gone.

Great guide but like others have said it's glitched in favour of the player. I only came across two and it popped when I reloaded the game up.

Guess this achievement glitched for me too. I goofed on the first wisp, but managed to get this after choosing the correct choice for the second wisp in Dreadworks after I came back to the game a while later. Just popped up randomly while loading for me.

Unlocked for me after answering 2/4 correctly. Gave the wrong answer on the first two, but correct on the last 2 and unlocked as soon as I answered the 4th wisp (2nd right answer).

Popped for me after the third - so buggy.

This unlocked for me after answering the 2nd Wisp. So it is definitely buggy. Just had a similar thing happen with the Explorer achievement. The ingame tracker says i'm 23/29, but it unlocked when I went into the "Lost Ink" mission (which is the 23rd place I visited).

This achievement is bugged. I have tested the theories others have presented and once I got two correct answers, I ended the session in the menu and restarted the game.

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.)

I got curious and had to check if this was true. I mean this is more or less an autowin achievement for all who quit their games a certain way. So well I put up the tracker when giving up for the night. Now when I started up again it didn't count unless I quit the game via the home button (not in game menu). But sure as a priest the counter went up 25% each time I started. I had answered first and third correct and the second one wrong for the record. Good luck folks! toast

Yeah, this popped way early for me. I had 2/4 and reloaded my save for a regular playing session. I was surprised to see it pop and figured that I encountered a glitch. Glad to see others have mentioned it!

I just got this without even meeting all wisps. I think it may be cumulative over several playthroughs.

Hey everyone, just a quick video for unlocking this achievement. For this achievement, all you need to do is find and answer the four wisps in the game. They're in Croakwood, Dreadworks, Old Town, and Pocket Realm. Just watch the video for the answers and where they are. Hope it helps!

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.

During the game you will find four fireflies that will ask you riddles. Fireflies are not hiding anywhere, and if you make complete maps of all locations, you will easily find them. If you answer their riddles correctly, they will drop loot for you, and if not, they will attack you. You have to answer correctly so that no one attacks. The answers are: “I don’t know, Katerina knows,” “death,” “lightning,” “42.”
