In this segment, the video discusses the Sphinx boss in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and provides a detailed guide on how to reach and conquer it. The Sphinx is a special boss unlocked through a series of ten trials, each offering better rewards like gold, unique items, and achievements crucial for full completion of the game. To reach the Sphinx, players must navigate to two key locations from the checkpoint, starting by heading north through the ancient Battleground, passing a castle, and climbing to the Mountain Shrine. The video advises ignoring a boss en route and provides step-by-step navigation tips for reaching the caverns that lead to the mountain top. Upon reaching the peak, players encounter the Sphinx and start with the first trial, ‘the riddle of eyes,’ which involves fetching a file from a chest after defeating enemies. Completing this trial rewards the player with a wake stone. The second trial, ‘the trial of Madness,’ requires bringing a significant character, like the main Pawn, to a designated pedestal.

In this part of the video, the narrator explains how to engage with the Sphinx to solve riddles and obtain valuable items, specifically the duplication of a Port Crystal. Players first finish the initial riddle to receive the Port Crystal, an essential item in the game. The narrator advises completing the “riddle of conviction” next because it is quick and allows the duplication of items, particularly the Port Crystal.
Next, they outline strategies for efficiently using the Port Crystals, like placing one in front of the shrine for quick teleportation. For the “trial of wisdom”, players need to bring a Sphinx parent, which can be recruited from the Rift Stone of Fellowship after defeating some enemies. Completing this trial rewards players with 1,200 Rift Points to spend.
Furthermore, the narrator suggests tackling both the “trial of wisdom” and the “trial of rumination” simultaneously to save time. For the “trial of rumination,” players must backtrack to the location of their first Seeker token find. The video section provides detailed steps and tips to optimize gameplay and complete these challenges efficiently.

In this part of the video, the focus is on completing mission areas and trials involving tokens and chests. Starting north of Verw Worth, the player finds a Finder’s Token and heads back to the Sphinx to present it, finishing the trial and opening a fifth chest containing three Fairy Stones. The Sphinx then moves to its final location at the Frontier Shrine, which is easier to reach than the previous one. Players are advised to retrieve their Port Crystal before moving on. After a rest in town, the route continues through a dried river section, leading up to the final Shrine location. Here, players face five final trials that are more challenging than the previous ones.
Upon reaching the final location, players automatically receive a reward of 100,000 gold, aiding in the upcoming tasks. One of the initial trials requires bringing back stone statues to the Sphinx, corresponding to the number of completed trials, which is verified by counting opened chests from previous locations.

The speaker advises careful observation and gives the locations and times where each brother can be found. If a mistake is made, the player can reset to a previous save. The speaker then briefly touches on the Riddle of Contest, which involves defeating an enemy while a ring reduces the player’s damage to zero. Strategies include using party members for damage or throwing the enemy off a cliff for an instant kill. Successfully completing these tasks rewards the player with new items.

Tips for completing the challenge include utilizing the unmaking arrow to defeat the boss by targeting its wing to acquire the key for the final chest.
