Ecco, Defender of the Future Riddles Part One
08-17-2009 by Johnny L. de Alba

Celebi7242 and Riveller of the GameFaqs Ecco PlayStation 2 board have been going at it, in an interesting topic about riddles. I got Celebi7242's permission to post some of the riddles here but it will be up to you to find the answers.

You can run, but you can't hide. A spire of stone, a hole through which you must slide. Quick to sing, quick to dash away You may be scared, but this thing wants to play...

Agility and speed are your best bet Without a blast of electricity, you can't kill me yet. I seem to sit and rest, but really I'm not. I hide in plain sight, but you'll most likely get caught.

They're different but they're the same... The ones from the past were much more tame. This one has the same weakness to be exploited But figuring out how to defeat, the others were much more pointed. In the past they had eyes; why do these look so blind? Not one creature is left of the planet's own These are the only ones you'll find. One more reason to be your enemy, but this time you're alone.

The rust and gloom make it hard to see, This is one place you weren't meant to be. So many twisting pipes you've lost your way, Nothing goes the way you want this day. Seek to raise the water in all this place And find the tunnel with a red rock lace.

Many colors on its wide wings But it won't help you, lest you do two things. Find it once, call it once, call it twice Where it goes, you should know where Don't worry, it won't bite; it's nice! Sing for it, and let it carry you if you dare.

Murky waters, deep and dark Surviving seems impossible for a shark Too little fish, too much pollution The first of things after the attack. Spheres of light are the solution Claim them and bring the future back.

Like the second time, Only these tubes are much clearer Hear a distant, mysterious chime. Jump from place to place and your goal will be so much nearer.

A great expanse of blue What happens, what you feel is true. Powerless has your defense become The shield around the earth will no longer hum. Find it, heal and restore it Five to be found, four below and one above. Use two of your power, to see four rings lit But you're too late; those creatures have no love.

Fall from the top of the mountain Crash into the water below You know neither where you are or when Swimming fast, avoid two tiger sharks in tow.

Stuck in a fallen girder Sing to the switch on the wall Avoid the shark to avoid murder Dash out into the hall Your journey here has only just begun But soon you will be able to see the sun.

Hiding in a dark, circular hole Sing to a friend and dash for the goal Be quick and make it through Or be eaten without me having to chew.

I am as bright as the morning sun In a place as dark as a moonless, starless night Take me and you're one step closer to being done I radiate soothing warmth and blinding light.

Waterfalls pour in this great machine To escape all the currents' tugs you must be keen No living things but fish Enter red to the left and follow the metal is the wish.

Infinitely raging lust for power, I hold what you seek in a tight grip I myself will bring about your final hour The drains to plug with rocks are my unintentional tip.
