Comentario del artista:
With The Ultimate Riddle, I tried to merge two concepts: The first half of the song is quite ambient. It is meant to fill the role of a sort of myserious "you can't go here yet" song, not unlike the scenario of the infinite staircase in Super Mario 64. The second half is a very Metroid Prime inspired exploration piece, to be heard while exploring ruins on your personal world. The result is a very mysterious song indeed.
I interpreted the riddle as Shadolith entering a temple in his land and then when she finally reaches the core she sees the heart of the land along with ancient carvings. Shadolith is confronted with a strange tablet on the wall (representing the prophecy about her becoming a god) and a series of holes in the wall. Said holes actually make up part of the melody to the song "Gods of the New World". Would playing those measures actually be relevant to creating the new world? They might be, or they might not.
