Mountain Shrine

Dragon's Dogma 2 guide · The location of the Sphinx

The Mountain Shrine is an ancient ruins area located north of the Checkpoint Rest Town where the Arisen first encounters the Sphinx. Players can interact with the Sphinx here to solve five riddles for unique rewards before it departs for its next location. Exploration around the shrine also yields several treasure chests and collectibles hidden along the stairways and surrounding platforms.
