Grrr! I can't figure out this stupid bronze riddle. I've tried equipping bronze weapons, dropping bronze weapons, casting "bronzy" spells, attacking the plaque, putting bronze items in the containers in the house (including his body).

I haven't tried attacking the plaque with bronze arrows (do they exist?) and I haven't tried wearing bronze armor. I tried searching everywhere with spot hidden rings on and nothing.

Arrg! I'm NOT asking for the answer, I want to do this on my own. I'm just venting. Hmm, maybe if I got a suntan, that would be "bronze"? Maybe a tanned dick would be "harder than copper"? Stupid riddles! My mage hides his face in shame.

Or maybe the exact opposite?

Hint:

Maybe if you 'covered up' with bronze instead?

Boo. I finished the game and never solved the riddle. Had to look up the answer online as I don't plan on playing again. (didn't read your spoiler Hick).

I guess my bone with it was my perception. I thought this was some mild little nonesuch quest. Grab some papers, give them to the sister, get 50 coin. I see now the prize is much bigger, so the difficulty is much higher. I'm fine with that, just wish I'd had a better sense of what was at stake. Oh well.

Bit disappointed in the endgame "wand" as well.
