Riddle of the Sphinx Hints
I can't find the Cobra Shrine.
1 of 10: Look for a clue at the River Cavern.
2 of 10: At the River Cavern, look inside the briefcase for a note about the Cobra Shrine.
3 of 10: The note says there is a dead end, which does not really end.
4 of 10: It also refers to a faded painted wall.
5 of 10: You'll find the dead end, by taking the leftmost of the three passages, at the point where the River of Death diverges.
6 of 10: Now if you could only get past that wall....
7 of 10: It looks like someone's already tried.
8 of 10: Can you think of a way to make the hole larger?
9 of 10: If you haven't been to the River Cavern yet, you'll need to go there first.
10 of 10: Bring the pickaxe from the River Cavern and use it on the painted wall.
