In the game, you can encounter sphinxes on some maps. Have you ever been able to solve their riddles? I personally can't.

To everyone who hasn't checked out the "Heroes 2" section or thinks that sphinxes only appear in the 5th installment, I have a HUGE REQUEST: please don't post any more. Sphinxes originally appeared in the 2nd game, and the puzzles were difficult, largely due to the English versions (i.e., these were established English language riddles that people weren't very familiar with) or pirated translations. But nevertheless, they were still solved, so "1" is definitely possible.

It would be okay if it were just puzzles.
But I have the Russian version!
This means that when typing a word, you can't even find some of the letters!
And what about the keymaster's tents?
He'll tell you the password, you approach the barrier, you say it - no reaction!
Then, by trial and error, I discovered that there might be 1-2 spaces at the end of the word!

Later, I figured out by trial and error that there could be 1-2 spaces at the end of the word!

I also couldn't figure out what was wrong for a long time, until I noticed that the period after the keyword had some spacing. That's when I thought – could it be a space?
Thirdly, they did it right – they removed this "relic of the past": either you were in the keymaster's tent, or you weren't!

The correct answers to the Sphinx's riddles could be found using the map editor:rolleyes:
But some riddles were easy to solve. For example, in the last scenario for Roland, the Sphinx asked, "Who is the true king?" Of course, it was Archibald, because he was the king's eldest son, and by law, the throne would have been his anyway.

Good Lord, isn't life complicated enough?! :smile32:

Initially, sphinxes appeared in the second game, and the riddles were difficult largely due to the English versions (i.e., these were established riddles of the English language that people knew little about) or pirated translations.

Yeah. On some fan-made map that came with the disc, there was a sphinx with the following question: "Is Babylon 5 the best TV series?" :D No dictionary of English riddles will help here.

Moral of the story: don't argue with the developers :D

Almost! All that was needed was to answer "yes." But since I was a fan of Babylon 5, I couldn't imagine any other answer :D

I know a method to find the answer to the Sphinxes. Go into Far Manager (if you have it):p

But I also know how. However, it doesn't contribute to intellectual development.:smile08:

I first saw them in 3.5; the game doesn't punish the player as harshly there. There were also occasional glitches: you'd type any letter and win. Yes, it was an old version.

I forgot what bonuses Sphinxes give for a correct answer. I remember that if you answer incorrectly, the hero dies; I think I lost Roland that way once and had to start over.
