Hi all! Relatively new GM to Pf2e. Running a campaign right now where the party is uncovering clues regarding the upcoming reveal of an obscure and ancient enemy.

As the party is encountering these clues, they are trying to glean information using recall knowledge that would be, in my mind, impossible to recall.

For example, they found the banner of the ancient enemy and tried to recall information to know who the banner belongs to. The ancient enemy has not been seen for generations and only 1 person in the whole town has any knowledge of this enemy but chooses to keep quiet.

My question is what would be the way to handle this? I opted to let them do the recall knowledge but the DC was the normal DC for their level +10 for the extreme difficulty.

Ultimately they failed the checks and gained no information, but should they have even rolled? Or should I have simply said this isn't something they could possibly know about?

Looking for advice or any existing rules for this I suppose and hope I'm posting in the right place! Thanks!
