What’s more, we’ve provided answers to her challenging riddles.
So read on with ourDragons Dogma 2Sphinx guide.
The Sphinx rewards you with treasures from chests if you solve her riddles correctly.
Do not read unless you are okay with learning spoilers.
On top of all that, a large Drake routinely roosts in the large open area outside the fortress.
I would recommend resting here as there will be more difficult battles ahead.
Will you attempt to slay the Sphinx or solve her riddles?
This is a small area littered with large boulders and an ancient stone relief carved into the wall.
The Golems main weak spots are the giant blue magic seals covering their bodies.
Feel free to rest here if needed.
The first place to encounter the Sphinx is located in the mountains above the Misty Marshes, northeast of Checkpoint Rest Town.
Finally, make your way up a series of staircases and you’ll find yourself facing the Sphinx.
You’ll have to think carefully to solve her riddles and get through her Game of Wits.
Yet how will your eyes advise you?
Take the right-hand path indicated in the middle of this map and keep going straight until you reach the Ancient Battleground.
Venture through yonder door, and retrieve that which is of greatest value."
Then deliver the Sealing Phial to the Sphinx.
Chest Reward:1x Wakestone and the Sealing Phial you found.
Be wary for a mighty Drake rests at the Ancient Battleground.
#2 Riddle of Madness
Riddle:“Love is as twin to madness, they say.
They are bound fast, as night is to day.
So bring forth your most beloved to me, that I might gauge the depth of your insanity.”
Climb to the top of the Ancient Battleground’s fortress and defeat the Cyclops standing in your way to reach your goal.
Then talk to her to tell her who your most beloved is.
It doesn’t actually have to be true.
The child knows not the parent: such is the parents due.
Be sure to rest up for the future battles ahead.
I am a lost child; for kinship do I yearn.
So bring to me my Parent, that I might better learn."
Use the Riftstone of Fellowship to find Pawns with a “Special Moniker.
Yet lighter pack makes fleeter foot and challenge nimbly met.
So grant to me what you most prize, and thence elude your ponderous demise.”
Answer:Give the Sphinx anything from your inventory and she will double it.
The Golem is a tough guardian to defeat but with careful strikes to its weak points, it will topple over like a ton of bricks.
You know of the Seekers Tokens, I trust?
Those keepsakes of a fondly remembered journey?
Yet where was it that you found your first?
One more flight of stairs and you will finally reach your destination.
Retrace your steps, if you’re able to you might make a new discovery.
Seven days shall we say, ere you return?
May your journey be a pleasant one."
After giving your answer, the Sphinx leans in with a creepy smile.
Answer:Literally, go back to the very first place where you found a Seekers Token.
Youll find another Seeker Token there.
You’re on a time limit so move quickly!
I found the Sealing Phial above the entrance to the dungeon that the Sphinx sent me to.
Chest Reward:3x Ferrystones
Get ready to fly on the Sphinx!
:After giving your answer for the last riddle, the Sphinx will fly off.
You will have to move very quickly.
Bring any NPC to the Sphinx to solve the Riddle of Madness. I suggest taking your Pawn since they should already be with you.
Otherwise, you will need to meet her there for theRiddle of Reunionquest.
Getting to this Sphinx location by foot will take some hard work.
This guide will explain the latter.
Go to a grand riftstone and hire a Pawn with the name “SphinxMother”, or “SphinxFather”, or “SphinxParent."
Make your way there and stop at the bridge leading into the town.
you’ve got the option to either rush past them or defeat them.
I suggest defeating them to get special materials and experience points, if it’s possible for you to.
Give the Sphinx an item you’d like to have duplicated.
Head this way and you’ll see a tilted column blocking a narrow passageway.
Clamber around the column and continue forward to get to the Frontier Shrine Sphinx location.
Additionally, you cannot choose in what order you receive these riddles.
Go back to the first place you found a Seeker Token and you will find another one there.
Perhaps you expected more, but I’m afraid that’s that.
Our next game shall have to take a different tack.
Though constant this world may seem, in truth, all is in flux.
You can catch a ride on the Sphinx if you grab onto her quickly after answering her fifth riddle.
And so the time has come for me to fly.
If you are not yet satisfied, seek me at my new abode.”
Answer:Go to the Sphinx at her Frontier Shrine location.
You can make your way to the Frontier Shrine Sphinx location from Checkpoint Rest Town.
Reward:100,000 G and the opportunity to solve additional riddles.
Note:Place a Portcrystal near this Sphinx location to make the following riddles easier for yourself.
But are these differences so great?
The Frontier Shrine Sphinx location is along the river between Checkpoint Rest Town and Enoa’Battahl Forest.
If men are so distinct, I’m sure you’ll meet him in a trice."
So pay attention to their hair, eyes, standout scars, and more.
Remember, you cancheck your NPC Logbookin theHistorytab of the menu to see any new NPCs.
Finding the Sphinx again at the Frontier Shrine counts as a riddle.
Don’t get confused by Dante from Checkpoint Rest Town side of the border.
Some say it’s pain that does it best, others darkness – but I say neither.
Could you survive such despair?
For the Riddle of Differentiation, you’ll find Vergil on the Battahl side of the Checkpoint Rest Town gate.
Here I have an amphora destined for Ser Maurits in Battahl.
Deliver it to him, but beware; it’s rather fragile.
That way, you don’t have to worry about bringing the vase through extremely dangerous areas.
Ser Maurits ilocation s found in Battahl at the Mural Byway as indicated on the map above.
Chest Reward: 1x Eternal Bond (ring):Increases affinity when gifted to an NPC.
Is that not so?
Come, try your armthough he shall be your opponent, not I.

However, I am not one to be amused by a simple duel.
Bear this ring into battle, that I might gauge your true strength."
Answer:While wearing the Ring of Derision, your attacks won’t do much damage.
It’s far easier to bring Ser Maurits to the Sphinx rather than bring the vase to him.(Image credit: Windows Central)
Remember to unequip the Ring of Derision when done.
My memory fails me you see.
Remind me, and make it plain.
For the Riddle of Contest, pick up your opponent and then throw them off the cliff.
Let yonder statues be your means.
For every question aptly answered, bring one here before me."
Answer:This is a bit of a trick question.
For the Riddle of Recollection, place a statue for each riddle you’ve correctly answered so far.
So if you’ve solved four riddles correctly, put four statues down.
Did my prizes fail to satisfy?
Though it is a pity…
When you’ve solve all of the riddles, fight the Sphinx!
I had taken rather a liking to you.
Answer:Fight her, until her health goes down to 0.
She’ll now attempt to fly off and she won’t let you climb on her back.
To defeat the Sphinx, you must shoot it with an Unmaking Arrow.
But don’t let her fly away.
She will dissolve and drop a key for the final large treasure chest.
Reward:Gold and Key of Sagacity to get an Eternal Wakestone.
The Eternal Wakestone is a special single-use Wakestone that has the power to revive multiple NPCs at once.
It will disappear from your inventory when used.
The easiest way to ensure this is by having an Unmaking Arrow handy.
However, I suggest doing the riddles first and then defeating her to get the most rewards.
The easiest way to defeat the Sphinx is with a special Unmaking Arrow.
Without further ado, let’s go over how to kill the Sphinx.
TIP:I highly recommend yousave at an inn before attempting to defeat her.
If something goes wrong, you could revert back to your last inn save.
There are clues throughout your Sphinx journey that hint at how to defeat her.
To defeat the Sphinx,you’re not supposed to hit her in the head.
The thing is, your Pawns might strike her cranium.
Additionally, magic attacks or AoE attacks might also accidentally cause damage to her noggin.
Eventually, she will be defeated and won’t fly off because you fought her correctly.
So complete that riddle at the Frontier Shrine to get it.
But verify to avoid her head!
But she will drop a key that will let you kick off the final treasure chest.
Each riddle is an extremely difficult quest that will test the limits of your brain power and observation skills.
Whether you choose to tackle the Sphinxs riddles or slay her is entirely up to you.
