Has anyone ever tried camping this thing or the other one? Maybe if you kill one enough, yer faction with the other will raise to the point where you could talk to it...wonder what could come out of that?

This thing flies almost exactly the speed of SOW. Would not follow me all the way to the zone point though. I suspect it can't stray too far from it's hill. Aggro radius is HUGE on this thing: almost exactly equal to spell casting range, so don't expect to necessarily get the first shot off. I found this out by trying to cast Benevolence on it which has a fairly long casting range. I was curious whether I could go from "threatening" to "dubious" but never found out :(

So I'm sitting in Rathe Mountians wondering when Hasten will start running around when the 45 ranger and I get bored and want to kill off the sphinx. Apparently it has changed drasticly from the top posts.
After killing the sphinx 6 times in a row I now update the information as thus: tanking this MoB is impossible. It has a 40-65 point damage shield. When I set the pet on it I was shocked to see his health dropping so fast (I had it feared). A quick dispell though removed the shield and all is happy again. Other than that, it casts fear...often. Every time my fear ran out it immediately feared me. Only slightly annoying but worth a note. It didn't get any other spells off against me so I don't know what class its base is. As far as a pet, I have yet to see one. I let it sit for 3 mins and it didn't cast a pet. Also the respawn time is way under 15 mins. I would kill one wait about 5 mins and another would have spawned. Also to note: I had cleaned out the riff raff around the hill so that I wouldn't get other creatures on me. When the Sphinx died there was a mass spawn of drakes (obsidian, basalt, etc). Shardwing didn't ever pop though. As for loot, the most I have gotten in cash is 4 PP but I did get a fire emerald once. Anyhow this monster has intregued me so I'll probably go kill it a few more times and update this post.

It's level 40, has all the enchanter spells through 39 abviously. Pet is not a worry, just root/snare it at the beginning. A necro can easily solo this at 49, maybe even sooner, just buff your pet, darkness the sphinx and Invoke Fear. Last time I killed it was in august, tried with a druid at 51 recently and couldn't resist anything with 124 MR so I gated 8(

It has a whole lot more HP than it used to, thing was way to easy before

I hate it when there's no info on a beastie I'm interested in, so I thought I'd fill in a bit after helping take down this Sphinx.

First, it conned even to me at 40th, so the above level info is correct, when it respawned (about 15 minutes) it conned the same. In combat, it casts mainly like an enchanter, and has a very low level enchanter pet (green to me, probably around 28 or so). In addition to it's enchanter spells which were resisted rather easily with a 84MR, it casts a necro type lifetap spell that does maybe 50 points. It can also Dragon Roar, an AE stun. It's not a spell, it's an ability, so you can't interrupt it.

She has a lot of hit points for a caster, and many heals were needed since her DD spell Anarchy does 288 points to those who can't resist it.

Faction goes up with the other sphinx and its scarabs (faction with 418 goes up) and down with it and the various Zaza beetles (417) may have those numbers backwards, but you get the idea.

Loot: Just coins the time we took it down.

Where is it? If you know the giant valley, just go one more valley south where all the drakes are, she's on top of the ridge there.
