Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2: How to solve every Sphinx riddle CapcomThe Sphinx in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 provides players with a fun non-combat challenge to conquer, plus solving them earns players a Portcrystal and other useful rewards. The world of Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 is emergent and immersive, so there are plenty of surprises waiting for players as they explore. One encounter worth trekking off the beaten path for in the game is the Sphinx arc. The Sphinx presents our Arisen with a different sort of challenge to other monsters they\u2019ll encounter. It\u2019s not worth fighting her, in fact, taking a swing at her will ensure she flees, and players will never have a chance to earn her rewards. Instead, this is one encounter where wits and wiles are needed. Like in the original Dragon\u2019s Dogma, the Sphinx presents a set of riddles to answer. Answering each riddle correctly earns rewards, including a Portcrystal, which alone makes tackling the Sphinx\u2019s problems well worth the trouble. Here\u2019s every Sphinx riddle and answer, as well as how to find the enigmatic creature in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2. Contents How to find the Sphinx and start her arc – First set of Sphinx riddles & answers – How to find Sphinx second location – Second set of Sphinx riddles & answers – How to find the Sphinx and start her arc To find the Sphinx, players will need to head north from the Checkpoint Rest Town toward the Mountain Shrine. To reach it, head north out of town and follow the road toward the Ancient Battlegrounds. Inside the ruins of the Battlegrounds is an NPC, Oskar, with a sidequest. Players are free to tackle Oskar\u2019s task before or after the Sphinx, as it isn\u2019t related to her arc. However, it is an easy way to get to the top of the ruins. Whether players head into the ruins with Oskar or not, at the top of the ruined castle, a Cyclops bars the path. Deal with the monster and then head into the Worldsend Cavern. Inside is where players will find the Sphinx. First set of Sphinx riddles & answers There are five riddles in the first set of Sphinx riddles at the Mountain Shrine: Riddle of Eyes, Riddle of Madness, Riddle of Wisdom, Riddle of Conviction, and Riddle of Rumination. Here\u2019s how to solve each riddle and their rewards. Riddle of Eyes \u201cOur eyes are our allies, yet oft do they betray, for eyes tell lies, so I advise, and thence do lead astray. Yet how will your eyes advise you? Venture through yonder door and retrieve that which is of greatest value.\u201c Answer: After speaking the riddle, the Sphinx will open the cracked doorway. A sprawling series of caverns lies behind it, teeming with monsters, including an Ogre. However, above the entrance is a chest which holds a Sealing Phial. This is the correct item to give the Sphinx to solve the riddle. Reward: 1x Wakestone – Riddle of Madness \u201cLove 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.\u201d Answer: To solve this riddle, the player must return to the Sphinx with the person whom they have the highest affinity value with. Simply take the person back to the Mountain Shrine using a Ferrystone, place them on the pedestal, and tell the Sphinx it\u2019s their beloved. Reward: 1x Portcrystal – Riddle of Wisdom \u201cThe parent knows the child, yet the reverse is far from true. The child knows not the parent; such is the parent\u2019s due. I am a lost child, for kinship do I yearn. So bring to me my parent, that I may learn.\u201d Answer: This is one of the trickier riddles to solve. Players will need to bring the Sphinx a Capcom Pawn with Sphinx as a moniker. SphinxParent, SphinxMother, and SphinxFather will all work. Players can easily teleport their Pawn using the Riftstone of Fellowship. Then simply carry them up to the Sphinx. Reward: 1,200x RC – Riddle of Conviction \u201cLife is an enigma\u2013a lender of mortal debt. Yet lighter pack makes fleeter foot and challenge nimbly met. So grant to me what you most prize, and hence elude your ponderous demise.\u201d Answer: While the flavor text suggests players should fork over their most valuable item, any item given to the Sphinx correctly solves the riddle. However, this riddle will duplicate any item the player gives to the Sphinx. So it\u2019s well worth offering the Sphinx something valuable like a Portcrystal or Wakestone. Rewards: 1x Portcrystal – Riddle of Rumination \u201cYou know of Seeker\u2019s Tokens, I trust? Those keepsakes of a fondly remembered journey? Yet where it was that you found your first? Retrace your steps, if you can\u2013you might make a new discovery.\u201d Answer: The answer to this riddle is dependent on the Player\u2019s early game and where they found their first Seeker\u2019s Token. The Sphinx gives players seven in-game days to return to the spot where they found it. There they\u2019ll find a Founder\u2019s Token. Retrieve it, and then bring it back to her. Rewards: 3x Ferrystone – How to find the Sphinx\u2019s second location Once players have completed the first set of Sphinx riddles, the Sphinx will depart for a new location. The Frontier Shrine. This shrine is easier to access than the Mountain Shrine. Head south out of Checkpoint Rest Town and follow the path heading west across the river. Keep heading up the ridge, the Frontier Shrine is past the cave. Riddle of Reunion solution Simply reaching the Frontier Shrine also counts as solving one of the Sphinx\u2019s riddles in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2. This riddle is known as the Riddle of Reunion, and players are rewarded with 100k gold upon reaching the Shrine and meeting the Sphinx again. Second set of Sphinx riddles and answers It\u2019s worth throwing down a Portcrystal before tackling the second set of riddles, as they\u2019ll have players heading back and forth between other locations and the Frontier Shrine. The second set of Sphinx riddles in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 are given in a random order, after solving the first riddle, another will be randomly assigned. Here are all the answers to the second set of Sphinx riddles. Riddle of Contest The Sphinx spawns combatant, and forces the player to equip a Ring of Derision, which severely weakens their attacks. Answer: To solve this riddle, players need to stagger the opponent, then carry them and toss them off the cliff. Reward: Ring of Ambition \u2014 Increases XP gains when players defeat enemies. – Riddle of Differentiation \u201cI seek this man. If men are so distinct, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll meet him in a trice.\u201d The Sphinx shows an image of a tubby red-haired man wearing a white robe. Players should check their History and the NPC Logbook to check for specific clues. Answer: The solution is a reference to Devil May Cry, with the Sphinx requiring the player to bring them an NPC called either \u201cDante\u201d or \u201cVergil\u201c. Dante has straight hair, and a straight scar over his eye. He can be found in the market area at Checkpoint Rest Town. Vergil has wavy hair and the scar over his eye is jagged. Players can find him just past Checkpoint Rest Town\u2019s gate. Once the right person is found, carry him and teleport back to the Frontier Shrine to show the Sphinx. Reward: Whimsical Daydream \u2014Trickster class weapon – Riddle of Futility \u201cHere I have an amphora destined for Ser Maurits in Battahl. Deliver it to him, but beware; it\u2019s rather fragile.\u201d Answer: Players need to carry the amphora to the designated location. However, they can\u2019t fast travel. And they can\u2019t let themselves be attacked while holding it, or the amphora will instantly break. If the amphora breaks, the Sphinx will leave, and players will fail any remaining riddles automatically. Players need to place the amphora down whenever there are enemies in the vicinity and defeat them, before picking it up. Of course, an alternative option is to fetch Ser Maurits from Battahl, and carry him to the amphora, and this will work too, for those who aren\u2019t up for a futile challenge. Reward: Eternal Bond \u2013 Give this ring to an NPC to greatly boost your relationship\/affinity with them. – For more Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 content, check out our guides below: How to make a new character in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 | Best PC settings for performance | Does Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 have multiplayer? | How to import from pre-release character creator<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
