Unmaking arrow on sphinix

[Rohji]

U use arow on her when hp bar show up i shot her she loost whole hp but than die she say im leaving and fly away
i lose arrow and dont get wakesoten get bit scamed some one have this too ?

[can'tdecide]

It's part of her dumb af riddle. If you shoot her face and (chest?) she doesn't die but leaves the game permanently.

It's honestly nothing more than a terrible decision on the devs part. Next time, hit her to start the fight and shoot her rear/main torso. Or just shoot her torso before she does leave if you can make the shot after getting all riddles.

I don't know why the Unmaker's Arrow that literally can destroy anything else including the great dragon is weaker than a Sphinx....Apparently the Sphinx is above the great cycle....stupid af and there's nothing else to it. Sorry you missed out this time around.

Lol you just have to hit her in her main torse, not her face. I wouldn't even shoot the arrow at all until she does her flying away speech, after all your don't "need" it to kill her, some players report killing her before she even tried though it was rare.

You cannot do ANY damage to her human bits. You can only attack her legs, butt, and wings. You dont even need to use the arrow, its a big waste. Shes not the hardest so long as your around level 30, and its easier to hit her legs that way.

Its also important that you do NOT have any pawns with you and if you do keep your main pawn, that they are a mage with as many buffs and zero attack skills as possible because they can and will hit her face and fail the challenge.

thanks for answear
i alt f4 but to late is saved and i wont play new game for this stone

The wakestone can be gifted away. What's your pawn ID?

[Wrath]

to kill her you need to fight until she said "i'm gonna away" then you can kill her with unmaking arrow when she start to fly.
if you use the unmaking arrow during the combat phase you "complete" the combat and she say "i'm gonna away".
so you should attack her with normal equipment until that moment or you need 2 unmaking arrows, 1 to finish the combat and 1 to kill her.
seems stupid, because the unmaking arrow should grants one shot kill everytime, but it's how it works.

@Wrath
never had that problem, didn't wait until hp bar showed up. i just shot her with an unmaking arrow as soon as she spread her wings specifically on her wing and she died and gave me the loots.

What are you all talking about. I start combat shooting at her. Then equip Unmaking arrow and shoot the wing or body and win instantly. Already done this twice.

This poster is correct, except about the last paragraph. You can have pawns with you if you tell them to wait, they won't attack, even if they're standing right in the middle of the fight. But yes, the the sphinx fight itself is actually just another riddle, and the "solution" is to do enough damage to kill her by only breaking the animal parts. A few misses that hit human parts is fine as long as it's not a lot of damage, each part has a health pool of it's own and after a while it will "break" and doing further damage to it won't lower her health bar. You just have to do that to every animal part without doing it to any human part to win. Or you can just unmaking arrow any animal part to instantly "solve" the riddle. It's not exactly a waste considering this game has no particularly hard enemies and due to the save system it's better safe then sorry. I just do it the intended way and stockpile arrows for the offchance we get a BBI equivalent DLC in the future.

Yes, you have to hit a bestial part of the sphinx with the arrow. Her legs, her rump, or her wings. Do not shoot her face or tits.

[Player Zer01]

sounds like you got hit by an attack but the unmaking arrow is a 1 shot ANYTHING. it also odd because if you died then it should restart before the battle with a save.

unmaking arrow immedietly saves the game when you fire it. And to win the sphinxes battle isn't to kill it, but to kill it in a specific way.

One of the riddles has you look at a mural of a guy attacking the sphinx from behind, and a guy literally telling you "THIS IS HOW YOU KILL HER, PAY ATTENTION".
