Useful Info
Sphinxes are hefty late-game beasts that pack a wide variety of debilitating Hexes in their spell lists. Because they can paralyze you, they're a much bigger threat when other enemies are around than when alone, but even then they have some decent melee attacks and the ability to smite. They can be found individually in the Depths and the Vaults, and in a large, dangerous pack on the first floor of the Tomb. They are also occasionally summoned by the unique sorceress Kirke.
