All Coin Riddle Solutions

- Insert the 3 Coins into the Coin Cabinet on floor 1F in the office area.

- The riddles are as follows:

Coin Riddle 1: Three bright coins in the five holes be, first sits the Maiden underneath the tree. The wind from behind the Maiden doth blow, a beautiful Flower alone has to grow. And here comes the Man, so sleek and so fine, in the pale moonlight his eyes doth shine.

Solution: Place the Woman Coin in the bottom hole, the Snake Coin in the middle hole on the left, and the Man Coin in the middle hole on the right.

Coin Riddle 2: The man doth approach, his Blade now revealed, his face disappears behind shining steel. Away from the man doth the Maiden flee, towards the Flower, away from the tree.

Solution: Do not move the Coins. The riddles follow on from one another and relate directly to the current positions of the Coins. This riddle is referring to the positions of the Coins as they were placed in the previous riddle.

Coin Riddle 3: Where once grew a Flower, a venemous glee, where once a Maiden, but a stone doth be. And over her Grave the Main doth remain, his blade never met the vile Serpent's vein.

Solution: Flip the Woman Coin over to reveal the gravestone, place the Snake Coin in the top hole, and move the Man Coin to the middle hole on the left.

Coin Riddle 4: The Beast who its teeth in her flesh doth bore, He who has failed, She who is no more. Now unto you falls a grievous chore, who carries the blame for what fate had in store?

Solution: This riddle is actually asking you a question rather than demanding you place the Coins in specific positions: who do you think is to blame for the woman's death? Is it the man, herself, or the snake? There's no wrong answer here, so you can put whichever Coin you like in the top hole. Doing so will reward you with the Apartment 201 Key.
