Riddle of the Sphinx Hints
How do I match each disk on the Golden Pyramid with the correct animal?
1 of 12: Look carefully, just above each of the three dials on the pyramid.
2 of 12: There is an image of a cobra...
3 of 12: ...sitting on a colored disk.
4 of 12: The color under the cobra will determine the correct animal to use.
5 of 12: Match the three colored disks on top of the Golden Pyramid with the three colored disks on top of the archway.
6 of 12: From the top of the archway, make note of which color is in which order (from left to right).
7 of 12: Each of the three colors (from the archway) matches each of the three symbols from the Cliff Statues (so the left-most color represents the left-most symbol).
8 of 12: Since each of the three symbols from the Cliff Statues matches an animal from the Ra scroll, you should be able to determine which colored disk (on the Golden Pyramid) should be set to which animal.
