The Yerhva Queen of Riddles in Karl’s Bay is one of Charlie’s many games in Deathloop. This game, which is found in a building near Colt’s tunnels, asks players to answer 10 questions correctly. While it does provide multiple choice, if you’ve not found all the clues and documents, knowing the answers can be tough.
The Queen of Riddles (also called The Yerhva), is found in Karl’s Bay, in a small building by Colt’s tunnel. The game will ask you ten questions in a random order that you will need to answer correctly. While the answers always correspond to the same number, we’ve taken the liberty of writing out each question and its answer below – so that you can learn more about the history of Blackreef. Take a moment to check out the Haul-A-Quin while you're in Karl's Bay.
For those that want to work it out themselves, there are clues dotted around all of Blackreef. These clues are in the form of cassettes and notes, so you will need to do a lot of reading and searching. The best way is to use this cheat sheet. Here are the questions and answers, in no particular order:
