Dragon’s Dogma 2 is full of mythological monsters and beasts. During your travels, you will encounter many classics like Cyclopses, Griffins, and Dragons, but a more obscure creature is hidden away in a cave waiting to challenge you in a different way. The Sphinx is found in the Mountain Shrine at the top of the hill once you go through Wordlsend Cave. It won’t attack you when you approach, but instead, it will challenge you to a test of intellect. There are a total of 10 riddles to be solved, with a reward given for each one you manage to crack. Dragon’s Dogma 2 never holds your hand with anything, so we’ll help you unravel these riddles.
First five riddle solutions
The first half of the riddles are given at the location mentioned above. Once you solve this first batch, the Sphinx will move, and you will need to find it again to continue. Here are the first five riddles, their solutions, and rewards.
Riddle of the Eyes
“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.“

After getting the riddle, enter the room the Sphinx opens up for you. You need to bring back the most valuable item you find there. The chest holding the Sealing Phial you want is hidden directly above the door you came in through and can be reached by going up a path to the right.
This riddle’s reward is a Wakestone.
Riddle of Madness
“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.”
Your next task is to bring the person you love most to the Sphinx, or in this case, the NPC you have the highest affinity with. You will need to keep track of this yourself, find that character, and either escort them all the way back or use a Ferrystone to fast-travel back. Place them on the pedestal to complete the riddle.
Your reward is a Portcrystal.
Riddle of Wisdom
“The parent knows the child, yet the reverse is far from true. The child knows not the parent; such is the parent’s due. I am a lost child, for kinship do I yearn. So bring to me my parent, that I may learn.”
This is where the riddles start getting tough. The solution here is to find the Capcom-created Pawn named SphinxFather or SphinxMother from a Riftstone and recruit them to your team. Place them before the Sphinx and complete the riddle.
You get 1,200 RC for this one.
