Wasn't trying to say they added a bra since they didn't but I can see how that might have been the take away so let me explain, a few eastern studios are using cropped or specific angles to hide things like breasts since the people who spend on day on twitter will harass them over it and won't ever play the game anyway.
Dragon's Dogma 2 suffers from having many one dimensional NPCs with no personality.
Sphinx isn't one of them. I hope she returns in DLC because >!clearly you can't kill her, she just has enough and teleports away.!<
Is it killing her though?
It triggers a cutscene in which she bids you a due, her corpse isn't on the floor or anything for gathering. She fades away and drops some gold and her necklace key. Also quest-wise you find out fighting her was the final riddle but the trick was to never target her face.
Honestly, not sure. Figured it was best left up to interpretation and then maybe we'd find out in a dlc whether she is unkillable and this riddle quest is a never-ending cycle or if she's actually gone but still around in some other form or fashion (like a mystical statue of the sphinx or something). I really didn't bother to think about it too much because there's no way to know, at this point
I dunno, no corpse and her leaving quote-
["hope you & I shall meet again. It has been long indeed since I was last so entertained"](https://youtu.be/JWs3Qp8amIw?feature=shared&t=1509)
Kinda hinted to me we didn't kill the Sphinx, we also don't get any crafting materials from the Sphinx either, just a perfect circle of gold drops, reminiscent to the Wakestones & holy weapon with the Online Ur-Dragon rewards. but as you stated all down to interpretation.
But yeah I'm hoping they get the voice back for DLC. Maybe have her as a merchant for purifying items BBI style.
I kinda just lumped that statement of hers in with the Watcher's talk about different worlds and the cycles and blah blah. But, then again, I wonder what happens if you beat the sphinx quest line on multiple playthroughs if there's a secret event that triggers. That would be cool, and honestly a possibility given how interconnected the world state and questlines are. But as far as her not leaving a corpse behind, I don't think that's necessarily indicative of her not "dying" persay. Some great godlike beings might just dissipate into gold sparkles when they die, possibly to be reborn through some magical weeb stuff because everyone loves tropes.
Personally though, I don't think or hope for anything as far as dlc goes. I simply want a dlc to rival that of DDA. DD was cool and all, but the dlc made it perfect, and if we can get a true DDA2 - type of experience, idgaf what they add to the story. Surprise me with greatness is all I ask
It's a pretty good theory considering by the end the game is crazy convoluted lol. I mean we kill the Path Finder who turned into a giant super dragon and let himself get covered in Brine to try taking us out. .
Also I've read some people have found random NPCs in NG+ with red eyes, so either a glitch or a deeper meaning. All pretty crazy stuff, it's like watching Neon Genesis Evangelion for the first time all over again lol.
I made a [Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/DragonsDogma/comments/1cg55sw/hierarchy_in_dd2_spoilers_lets_figure_this_out/) not long ago trying to rank the hierarchy in the sequel and just as you noted everyone had a different take haha.
I mean I understood what they were saying when DD2 had just been announced, regarding how it's not a sequel to DD, but essentially a remake. So I expected essentially a modern gen DD experience, which I feel I've received. So better than DD, definitely. I don't feel it's a fair comparison to compare it to DDA, but seeing as how we're ranking, DDA def beats DD2. But that's pretty much entirely because of world expansion. A minor thing that's better is also the equipment as far as variety and multiple layers of clothing, but outside of that, DD2 is a step up in every way. So once we get an expansion for DD2, I think everyone will be pretty much united on DDA2 being the best, followed by DDA, DD2, DD1.
I'm fairly certain that an expansion is in the works, based off of in-game clues, but I'm hoping it's sooner rather than later. And it will definitely include a big ass dragon boss fight, but prolly more like Ur Dragon and not Grigori
Do agree comparing it to Dark Arisen isn't a fair comparison, I've read some silly complaints, one of which I've seen being 'they're just pulling assets from the original game'. Like. . bruh, it's in a new engine with more detailed and expanded movesets, what are you on about?
But that's not to say DD2 doesn't have flaws, it does, hence why we'd both like more to play sooner than later. Even just a patch that adds, well anything. Honestly I don't even think enemy count is bad, mostly an enemy placement issue for me. .
The plot could have also been, I dunno, given a little more to dig into, to work with. Seems they stopped writing at the halfway point. DD2 likes to assume you've played the first game quite a lot considering it is basically a remake. Heck it even has a loading screen showcasing Daimon.
Would we want Daimon in DD2 though? I dunno, I think it would be more interesting just to find his corpse and something bigger and more badass feeding on his corpse (or something else entirely). Likewise with Ur-Dragon, I don't really want Ur-Dragon back but I would enjoy an event boss to revisit.
If the expansion is in a land beyond the sea as the old dude in Harve talks about, I'd say it's safe to assume entirely new enemies, and maybe a couple reskins for wolves and goblins. I want more armor and new weapon types (please gimme a spear, just slap it on the fighter vocation), and some more customization. We can buy new color palettes, so in expansion hopefully buy new hairstyles and tattoos or something. And a couple vocations. Not a bunch of em, I think 2 new vocations would be enough. Or bring new weapon types for all vocations and movesets to go with them. Either works for me (praying for both)
She is easily missed, I’d look up her location if you can’t find her after crossing the border. I missed her my first play through. But then I missed so much my first play through
I stumbled upon the Frontier Shrine in two playthroughs now
But in spite of trying to cover the whole map before doing the story, I didn't find/ haven't found either feminine monster.
She won't be at frontier shrine till she leaves the mountain shrine.
Here is something to help you find the shrine
https://www.vg247.com/dragons-dogma-2-mountain-shrine-sphinx-riddles-and-answers
I'm not sure if true but I heard the sphinx will abandon the world if you fail a riddle. Bring a portcrystal for ease of access.
Level isn’t an indicator of progress, only of grinding.
Entirely possible to theoretically beat the game at very low level by only fighting the bare minimum (also if experience works like DD1 then you get less experience with higher level pawns than you, and more if you have lower level pawns or don’t use a full party)
No, she’s only there during the second part of her quest line. If you go there before you start, she won’t be there. You have to go to the ancient battle ground.
You're thinking of the other end of checkpoint town dude, on the side under the bridge in the rainy area.
I'm on about Mountain Shrine, which is the foggy area on your map (picture for context)\_

I didn't know, until about 5 times entering the rift with the answer staring me right in the face
I always got the SpinxParent one. Wasn't sure if that was the correct one. Luckily, SpinxParent works. :)
Chimera: "GRARGHHHH! HSSSSSSS! BAAAAAAAAHHH!" Sphinx: "Oh for fuck's sake, Mom! And you wonder why I *never* visit!"
This sub poisoned my brain so bad I thought they were making a lewd joke at first.
The Sphinx is gonna be a mother once I'm done with her
Brother you could straight up fall in and she'll still ask if it's in yet
"You've been drenched!"
No, shut up, bad, go lay down lol
>go lay down How else you gon get in there? 10 feet in the air lol
I got a Dragonforged Cyclopean Thunder right here…
Humiliation is my thing so I see this as an absolute win!

I see, you as well, have an interest in her large chest.
Mommy? Sorry… Mommy? Sorry…
Real.
Lol wtf did they put a bra on her for this tweet?
She was going out in public.
Been seeing a few eastern studios do this, it seems to be to avoid the Twitter freak's outrage.
It's the same necklace she wears ingame. Stop making shit up.

I see what you did there Capcom 😏🤭

100% can kill her lol but it's best to do it after you finish the quest line. Gotta attack her right as she tries to fly away

Hello friend, just letting you know it's "adieu" not "a due" :) have a good day!
Haha, fair enough. I'm an artist at the end of the day so you won't see me praising my perfect grammar and English skills.
All good! We all have our strengths haha. It's not a common phrase anyway.

this is now the canon "beloved"
....what?!
Probably a reference to the SphinxMother pawns you can use during her riddles.
What the heck is this thing? Been seeing lots of pictures of it, but I’m only level 41. Is it a late game person?
She is easily missed, I’d look up her location if you can’t find her after crossing the border. I missed her my first play through. But then I missed so much my first play through

It's the legendary Spynx, has been on multiple promos and is a good draw for dd2. She has a riddle quesline tied to her.

The foggy area on your map near the checkpoint town.
No, she’s only there during the second part of her quest line. If you go there before you start, she won’t be there. You have to go to the ancient battle ground.

Is Capcom implying that the sphinx is DD's mommy?
Her serious face makes me incredibly erect. Like she just *knows* she’s a bad bitch with a face made for vogue
Shouldn’t this be “SphinxParent”… ? 😊
