Mountain Shrine Quests
A Game of Wits begins when the Arisen speaks to the Sphinx at the shrine. Each riddle answered correctly unlocks one of the sealed chests behind her. In the Riddle of Conviction, the Sphinx duplicates the item offered to her, and once the riddles here are finished she moves on to the Frontier Shrine.
What's Inside Mountain Shrine
The usual way up leads north from Checkpoint Rest Town through the Ancient Battleground and the Worldsend Cavern, then along the Shrine Corridor to the stairs that climb to the shrine. A campsite lies just below it.
The chests behind the Sphinx are sealed by magic until her riddles are solved, and their rewards include a Wakestone, a Portcrystal and Ferrystones. Beyond the entrance, a cave holds more loot and more enemies, with chests containing a Sobering Tonic, the grimoire Igneous Melody, a Sealing Phial, Rotten Apple, Rotten Scrag of Beast and gold. Copper Ore, Silver Ore and Gold Ore can be mined inside.
