Riddle of the Sphinx Hints
How do I use the scroll?
1 of 10: You will need the Archway Scroll.
2 of 10: It can be found in the Archery Hall.
3 of 10: The Archway Scroll shows a diagram of the stones around Sobek's Archway.
4 of 10: The stones are numbered.
5 of 10: Find the stone that is labeled I (#1) on the scroll and press the corresponding stone on the archway.
6 of 10: Following the order on the scroll, press the stones around the archway in the correct order.
7 of 10: From left to right (clockwise) the stones are numbered as follows: 12, 1, 13, 15, 10, 19, 17, 3, 9, 5, 11, 2, 16, 6, 18, 10, 7, 4, 20, 8, 14.
8 of 10: There are two number tens -- it doesn't matter which one is pressed, as long as only one is pressed.
9 of 10: The door will move before all the stones are pressed.
10 of 10: When stone number 18 is pressed, the door will turn. Be prepared to click on the opening quickly, as Sobek turns, in order to pass through the doorway.
