If you return to Noble Sivrn after having completed "Names of the Sphinx", you see:

You say, 'Hail, Noble Sivrn'

Noble Sivrn smiles, 'It is a pleasure to see you once again, _____.'

You say, 'Where is Isilisinisusurpa?'

Noble Sivrn says 'What you seek is beyond my ability to find. Is it not known that Rohtrepoten imparts all knowledge to those who are to be confused?'

You say, 'Hail, Rohtrepoten'

Rohtrepoten says 'Greetings, _____.'

You say, 'Where is Isilisinisusurpa ?'

Rohtrepoten says 'Foolish words fall upon my ears, backwards and forwards through the years, spoken one way is ever contrite, and the other while correct, not quite.'

You say, '?aprususinisilisI si erehW'

Rohtrepoten says 'You have everything backwards, which is the first step, betwixt twin spires forgotten games Isilisinisusurpa's kep. Playing for ages forgotten in dust, watching forever as all falls to rust. You will not see the hidden without seeing them first.'

In the vicinity of 1125, 700 is what appears to be an abandoned game board (which conveniently lies betwixt twin spires). Walking over the stone "squares" causes the appearance of some to change slightly...

Stand in the middle square of the row of squares between the two pillars facing north (this is the above-mentioned /loc) and /say 'Where is Isilisinsusurpa?' After doing so, the sphinx will appear a little ways north.

You say, 'Hail, Isilisinisusurpa'

Isilisinisusurpa says 'I am a carefully constructed facade. Irresistable and impenetrable. All but invisible. You see me through the disturbance I create. That which i displace shows my form, but nothing more.'

You have been assigned the task 'The Hidden Sphinx'.

Correctly pronounce: Isilisinusurpa (8 syllables)

You say, 'I`sil`is`in`is`u`sur`pa'

Noble Svirn nods in approval.

This completes the task.

Isilisinisusurpa despawns 60 seconds after assigning the task to you, accompanied by the text:
Isilisinisusurpa says 'In a blink of an eye, eternity has fallen upon the scales of balance.'

Although it appears the sphinx can be respawned endlessly, the task itself cannot be repeated:
You say, 'Hail, Isilisinisusurpa'
Isilisinisusurpa does not acknowledge your presence.
