Once they solved the first part of the riddle, what did you make of the second part, ‘Pride crowned, another shielded. Three blushes bloomed to ranks and file’. Any initial clues?

Again, too cryptic for me, I will wait to find out when it is revealed.

Some sort of rose.

The first part made me think of a crown and shield. If it was in a graveyard could they have been on the gravestones. The second part to do with some sort of flowers in threes, but no idea at all about ranks and files.

"Pride crowned" seems to be a reference to an overly prideful leader. "Three blushes" could be roses, or young maidens, and "rank and file" is mostly used as a military term.

‘Ranks and file’ made me wonder if the objective was hidden among the tombs of the ranks and files (or the ‘lesser’ ranks of the knights buried further away from the altar), but that didn’t narrow anything down very much.
