So I'm an anime only, though I larp on the side. If Subaru is Flugel and made the tower so only he'd pass, what would his answer to the second trial with Reid be? IIRC the only times it was cleared was by Emilia because Reid was just playing around and Julius because Gluttony's body couldn't keep up after consuming him. Both of these feel like they would be out-of-scope when anticipating how to clear them.

Personally, I would see all of the towers trials as a computer.
The first trial is (lets say it is) the Login of the tower, as any login device it needs a password, but someone with enough will, time and patience could theoretically pass the first test by brute force, ergo trying every convination until one is right.
However, Reid is not beatable with (just) this mindset, since this mf is tecnically the World Strongest (at his time) he needs either an challenger of similar or superior strenght (Reinhard for example), someone that can make his guard lower so he or she may get a cheap shot (someone like certain silver haired elf) o someone that can bring him down to his level, if only there was a type of magic to help with this...

Emilia already tried every stone before Subaru woke up, so the test could only be solved if you knew the answer while touching it

Ok i just checked the novel and you are right
Julius: [That is our guess right now. There happens to be this Monolith, but I can say that even when we went around touching Monoliths at random… We were unable to find an answer.]
Subaru: [Ah, so you’ve already tried bruteforcing it?]
Subaru broke down Julius’s mild manner of speaking to the bread and bones of it. Emilia and Meili, who had heard that explanation, were patting their heads with what seemed to be a look of embarrassment about them.
Just attempting to touch and check every single one of them, certainly it looked like they had tried to carry out that tactic. Nevertheless, it did not seem that it had done the trick.
Subaru: [It’s an Trial after all. It means we have to solve the problem and answer it.]
Now if i can put my opinion on this subject i would say that, if knowing the answer is part of the requirement one could theoretically either obtain that knowledge from either Flugel or Subaru.
The only person i could say it would fit the bill for Flugel is either Echidna the witch or Pandora. And the latter is the one is what i believe Reid would be the firewall though.
Since i remember that there was a comment that if Theresia had the sword saint DP she could get Pandora to a draw or something like that.
