How to beat Sphinx, Devourer of the Unworthy, in Valor Mortis
The Sphinx is the Chapter 4 boss in Valor Mortis, fought in the Ancient Lair after the Caverns. The fight centres on parrying its claw attacks, building its posture meter and striking its head, with a blunderbuss becoming especially useful in the second phase.
Players are advised to arrive at around level 20, upgrade endurance and parrying skills, and bring a sabre if available. Watch for red-glowing unblockable jumps and dodge them; a crouch without the red glow signals an orb whose ground shock wave can be avoided by jumping.
- Parry claw combos to break the Sphinx’s posture.
- Dodge red-glowing jumps and jump over orb shock waves.
- Save blunderbuss shots for the second phase.
