Should You Kill the Sphinx?
Defeat the Sphinx for the Last Reward
Though you cannot kill the Sphinx in the traditional sense, you can defeat it after completing all its riddles. Doing so rewards 10,000 G and the Key of Sagacity, which opens the largest treasure chest behind it containing an Eternal Wakestone.
Defeating the Sphinx is optional but recommended after finishing all riddles to claim all rewards.
Defeat the Sphinx Only After All the Riddles
It is best to defeat the Sphinx only after completing all its riddles to obtain all the riddle rewards first. Attacking the Sphinx otherwise will lock you out of any of the other riddle rewards.
Sphinx Riddle Solutions and Location
Obtain the Eternal Wakestone to Revive Multiple People
The Eternal Wakestone is used to revive all the NPCs in the vicinity that the effects of the Dragonsplague may have caused.
How to Kill the Sphinx
Attack the Lion and Bird Parts to Defeat It
The Sphinx can be defeated by attacking the lion and bird parts while avoiding its human face and chest. It is recommended to fight solo or with a healer pawn, as other pawns may accidentally hit the wrong areas.
The Sphinx has four health bars and uses AoE attacks, including Fire Stomp, Lightning Stomp, and Sphinx Bolt.
Clues for where to strike can be found on the murals and vase from the Riddle of Futility. Once all health bars are depleted, it drops 5 pouches of 2,000 G each and the Key of Sagacity, which unlocks the chest behind it containing the Eternal Wakestone.
Use an Unmaking Arrow
Shoot an Unmaking Arrow on the Sphinx's wings to defeat it instantly. This is not required, but guarantees a quick victory.
Obtain an Unmaking Arrow from the Sphinx
An Unmaking Arrow can be obtained as a reward for one of the Sphinx's riddles, the Riddle of Recollection, which involves bringing several statues to the Sphinx equal to the total of riddles you have completed.

Anonymous over 1 yearThank you for your amazing guides! Please update this information, there's no need to use the unmaking arrow. Fight with whatever vocation you like, just don't mess with her face. You must go alone or with a healer pawn (without any attack spells).
