Riddle of the Sphinx Hints
Help me find the scarab on the sandy path.
1 of 7: Starting at the entrance to the lake, turn right. Go around the lake until you are about halfway around the lake (between where you began and the Cliff Statues).
2 of 7: Go to the spot where you have a choice -- you can either continue forward to the Cliff Statues, or you can turn to the left towards a path of rocks in the water (leading towards a stone archway).
3 of 7: From this spot, continue going forward through the sand towards the statues.
4 of 7: Count each move from here, until you've moved nine times.
5 of 7: From this spot, look along the edge of the large shadow.
6 of 7: You'll find the scarab weight near the edge of the shadow (on the right side).
7 of 7: It's a little difficult to see. Search the sand on the far right of the screen.
