Before you might solve any riddles, however, you better knowwhere to find the SphinxinDragon’s Dogma 2.

We tackle reaching these locations later on in this guide if you need help reaching them.
you might solve these riddles in any order you like.
If you turn to your right at the entrance of the cave, you’ll see a climbable rock.
initiate the chest to find the Sealing Phial before returning to the Sphinx.
Luckily, there are two ways to solve this riddle and we recommend using the first solution.
The first and, again, the one we recommend isshowing the Sphinx your Main Pawn.
Simply carry your Main Pawn onto the platform in front of the Sphinx before talking to her again.
When prompted agree that your Main Pawn is your beloved and the Sphinx will accept this answer.
(While also commenting that she expected you to have more loved ones, which is pretty harsh.)
The second solution involves eitherromancingan NPC or bringing the one who has the highest affinity to the Sphinx.
To bring an NPC to the Sphinx, you’ll need to use the Sealing Phail near them.
Again, we recommend using your Main Pawn rather than hunting down an NPC.
The Sealing Phial can only be used once and is far better suited for a future riddle.
For solving the Riddle of Madness, you’ll earn a Portcrystal.
Here, just at the beginning of the village, you’ll find the Riftstone of Fellowship.
Upon interacting with this Riftstone a Pawn called either SphinxParent, SphinxMother or SphinxFather will appear.
Pleased that you solved her riddle, the Sphinx will open another chest which contains 1200 RC.
Riddle of Conviction solution
The Riddle of Conviction is a trick in two parts.
After handing this item over, the second part of the trick will come into play.
(Though if you did hand over some spoiled meat, you should probably just throw that away.)
Yet, if you decided to venture into the unknown, then it could be further afield.
This token has a strange aura though and is, in fact, a Finder’s Token.
If this was your last riddle, the Sphinx will also depart for the Frontier Shrine.
If you placed a Portcrystal at the Mountain Shrine, remember to pick it up!
you’ve got the option to then place it at the Frontier Shrine.
You will need to visit the Frontier Shrine for the following riddles.
Visit the following section to learn how to reach the Frontier Shrine.
If you miss this moment, then you’ll lose your chance to earn the Eternal Wakestone.
Again, we have instructions on how to reach this shrine further along in the guide.

Hence why we recommended switching to a melee-based Vocation.
This will defeat him and, in doing so, solve the riddle.
For solving this riddle, you’ll be rewarded with a Ring of Ambition.

It won’t happen automatically.
How you reach Bakbattahl depends on how far you’ve progressed with the main story.
If you’ve already gained the ability toenter Battahl via the Checkpointthen you could take that route.
(Though you may die a couple of times.)
Maurits can be found north of the first inn you encounter upon entering Bakbattahl.
To find him, go past this inn and then take the first road to your left.
Go up these stairs and take the left-hand path.
Keep going until you eventually find a mural of the Sphinx with Maurits standing next to him.
(He may escape from your hold, but you might just grab him again instantly.)
Don’t go running off so quickly though because the Sphinx is once again trying to trick you.

For us, the answer was nine as this was the last riddle the Sphinx gave us.
For solving the Riddle of Recollection, you’ll receive the Unmaking Arrow.
We highly recommendusing it to defeat the Sphinx, which we touch upon in the next section.
If you don’t achieve this, then you’ll miss your chance to earn this incredibly useful item.
Wehighly recommend using the Unmaking Arrow to defeat her.
(Also known as the short way.)
Once that happens, open your inventory and equip the Unmaking Arrow.
Now you should probably check that you hit the Sphinx.
you could now use this key on the golden chest to earn the Eternal Wakestone.
Again, we do not recommend defeating her this way as the Eternal Wakestone is too important to risk.
After saving his life, he’ll ask you to escort him to the cenotaph of the battlegrounds.
Though you might want to collect the other rewards in this room.
Climb these steps when you see them and defeat the armoured ogre in this area.
Here you’ll find the entrance to the Worldsend Cavern.
Though it might be accompanied when you arrive, so you better sort that out… Once you’re well rested, follow the tunnel until you reach a space containing a hole.
Thankfully, this boulder is breakable and doing so will allow you to continue further through the cavern.
To defeat the golem, you oughta focus on the glowing blue spots which will appear on its body.
Don’t forget to place your Portcrystal nearby!
To reach the Frontier Shrine, you first have to go to the Checkpoint Rest Town.
This can be easily reached by taking the oxcart at the western bridge of Vernworth.
Climb up them and follow the cliff until you come to a fragile bridge.
It’s a good idea to defeat this orge and then visit the nearby campsite.
(You’ll find a path that leads down to it close to the fragile bridge.)
We highly recommend visiting this campsite, because you’ll shortly find yourself under attack once again.
With the ogre defeated, you might safely continue up the path and go through a short cave.
you could either choose to defeat these two monsters or make a mad dash for the Frontier Shrine.
When you find this branching point, head south and climb over the pillar.
Now all you better do is continue following the path until you reach the Frontier Shrine.
ensure you place a Portcrystal upon arriving!
