Witch's epitaph: Difference between revisions

The '''witch's epitaph''' is the central riddle of [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni (series)|Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]{{umineko}}. The epitaph appears in the main hall of the Ushiromiya family mansion, adjacent to the large portrait of the witch [[Beatrice]]. The riddle is outwardly a guide to reach the [[Golden Land]], where [[Kinzo Ushiromiya]] supposedly hid his gold fortune. During the course of the games, the epitaph is interpreted instead to be a detailed account of how to perform the ritual to revive Beatrice. According to rumor, Kinzo put the portrait and epitaph on display as an elaborate means of determining the next family head. The epitaph is first solved by [[Lion Ushiromiya]] on November 29, 1984.
