Can anyone explain to me why...!?

[S.Madness]

Why are there so many PAWNS with such names as SphinxMother or SphinxFather or SphinxParent!? What is the joke behind it? if there is any.

[Keldrath]

It’s tied to a quest

[Maltsi]

Are you looking pawns at harve village? Because that specific rift stone only shows sphinx related pawns. And as above person said, they name it like that so people can quickly find it for the quest

You can find em pretty much anywhere I’ve found em all over heck I even used to have a pawn I hired named Raven and for a while the game magically changed her name to SphinxMother and she was stuck like that a long time before it magically changed back to Raven. The one I eventually used for the quest I pulled from the Melve stone.

That is true, but i meant that harve rift stone will only show sphinx related pawns and nothing else. I personally haven't seen more than handful of those outside of that rift stone.

Edit* you might have lost internet connection for a while (or capcom servers were out), pawns names converts to monikers when you are offline and back to normal after connection is restored

Oh yeah you might be right they often have themes and it probably has that theme I don’t recall it personally but I’ve no reason to doubt you now that you mention it

My understanding is any Riftstone of Fellowship, of which there are several, will work. As it's particular filter is special monikers. And if memory serves there's even one nearby the ancient battlefield. The larger stones and cities also allow you to sort with the Fellowship property.

It's in the name.
But honestly how does this works anyways. So people actually give pawn that moniker? lol

Yes this is absolutely not true at all.

I may have typed it out wrong, as i explained in later reply. i mean that one specific rift stone only shows sphinx related pawns. You can ofc also find then else where.

Far as I know, there's a quest that requires you to hire official capcom pawns with those names.

So people try to cash in on that by naming their pawn the exact same.

It's literally just people being pricks.

You don't need capcom pawns to do that quest. What is important that the moniker is one of those 3. Some people try to troll and have sphinx name but different moniker. But in most cases their name is the same as their moniker in which case it will work

[Nik-Naks]

You're supposed to summon SphinxParent and bring it for a quest. But some are named mother and father, so you might get the wrong one and fail that quest.

I think i managed to missclick the wrong SphinxParent though, noticed it had red eyes and dismissed it instantly... Then the mf'er kept showing up in my game same ugly name. Luckily i started over, correcting a couple of mistakes so this wont happen this game.

So fyi, people that you summon might show up walking around in your games later.

I still think it’s capcom doing that like what happened to Raven for me. I guess it’s possible the pawn network died and they switched her to a generic name but I doubt it I think they’re just randomly changing pawns monikers to that sometimes for a bit just to increase the amount of them in the pool so they can be easier to find for people. Just a theory I’ve got.

These ar Capcom pawns and are to that you can hire them for the Sphinx questline because one riddle involves these kind of pawns.

Yup I just found the Sphinx and read some of the comments here. Silly me.
