Useful Info
Sphinxes are hefty beasts with a large variety of Hexes. Their paralysis is a big threat if you don't have willpower, though their melee isn't bad either. They can be found in the Depths, the Vaults, or in a large pack inside Tomb:1. Out-of-depth sphinxes can rarely show up in the main Dungeon.

Tips & Tricks
- High willpower (at least +++, preferably ++++) will render them almost incapable of disabling you.
- It takes 154 willpower in order to have a 0% chance to be hexed. (See the Paralysis#Paralysis Spell Table for what's needed to reach this.)
- Strong summoned allies can usually take out a sphinx without trouble. In the worst case, you may be incapacitated by a spell, but your allies will kill or distract it until the effect wears off.
- If you see a sphinx with several strong allies that you're not ready for, consider teleporting or using a scroll of fog and running away immediately. You may not get a second chance.
- You can summon your own friendly sphinxes with the spell Monstrous Menagerie.
History
- Prior to 0.31, sphinxes had 11 speed, but were slightly more likely to cast spells.
