Can't kill Sphinx?

[GorishiDan]

I've tried solo and with pawns but she always flies off in the end. Tried not hitting her face but nothing. Ok cool. Kinda gave up was just gonna use Unmaking Arrow and be done with it only for it to not work (the arrow ends the fight immediately but she just flies off all the same). Now i'm afraid to roll back again and Denuvo block me from playing cuz i committed "Fraud" (as i heard it counts every manual save roll back as an activation of the game). Am i experiencing a bug or something? I thought the arrow would kill anything.

I highly doubt youll get into trouble for using the save features.

I'm talking about manually overwriting the steam save file outside the game

Unmaking arrow must NOT be used on her face, body or back leg to be safe only.

It is really her face or head in front. Try not hitting it even.
For me I checked the pawns is "Wait！" and never hit face once, can just damaging her till she's down.

I thought her face was the only part that couldn't be hit. I shot it at her front legs. It wasn't a "human" part so i thought it'd be fine

Manually overwriting the file sometimes causes issues, but capcom can only do so much. If you are just backing up a save and using that save rather than the in game save, then nothing should happen.

As for the sphinx, they were extremely obtuse and unclear. There were several murals and a guy saying "do it this way". And all you were really supposed to take from it is melee anything other than the head and chest.

When I attacked the sphinx, I was using my archer and I shot her in the body about seven or eight times before she finally recognized, so I didn't even have to melee, but in general, that is the intention, probably something like 100 melee damage at least in the back leg area to start the fight.

As for finishing the fight, either damage that probably isn't going to happen, or the unmaker.

But you are right, the tough part is starting the fight and roughly, even if you are the archer, jumping at her and doing the kick is probably what will start the fight for you. Just make sure you hit her in the butt, legs, or back. Not the face.

I would advise to anyone who's getting worried, to be aware, even with the DD2 Save Manager I need to exit the game entirely, not just go to the main menu, or the load of a previous save will fail. However, the mod is doing a similar thing, it just keeps all the autosaves instead of one..

suggest you to switch to archer, equip that special arrow , and aim for the wings
