Dragon’s Dogma 2 is packed with surprises, and one of the most intriguing is the enigmatic Sphinx. If you manage to solve all ten of the Sphinx’s cryptic puzzles and defeat them, you’ll walk away with a purse of gold and some incredibly useful items. However, in this article, I will discuss the first riddle. I will cover the rest in other articles later. In this challenge all you need to do is find Sealing Phial and give it to Sphinx.
The Riddle of the Eyes Solution
To start this riddle, you’ll find the Sphinx at the Mountain Shrine, northeast of Checkpoint Rest Town. Here’s the riddle itself:
“Our 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.”
Once the Sphinx opens the door, step inside…and immediately turn around. Do you see that chest perched above the doorway? Inside, you’ll find a Sealing Phial. Bring it back to the Sphinx to seal this riddle away.
Here’s the important thing to remember about the Sphinx – this isn’t a typical boss fight. If you attack, you risk forfeiting the whole quest line! When you encounter the Sphinx, focus on answering the riddles, not drawing your weapons.
Why Bother With Riddles?
Solving the Sphinx’s puzzles offers fantastic rewards. Each riddle you conquer unlocks a chest, often containing something valuable. But the real prize awaits those who persevere through all ten riddles! Be patient, stay sharp, and you might just become one of the few to successfully master the Sphinx’s challenges.
Riddles can be a bit finicky, so consider saving before attempting them. That way, if you make a wrong choice, you can reload. The key to many Sphinx riddles is in looking beyond the obvious, and sometimes, twisting your perspective. Classic fantasy tropes might not be the answer here. Sometimes, a bit of lateral thinking is needed.
Final Words
I hope this helps! The Sphinx’s challenge in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a fun riddle challenge you will have to solve within gam to progress.
