7. Whoever didn't answer her correctly, was eaten by her.
#AssassinsCreedOdyssey Fact : When we falter to answer the riddle in-game, The Sphinx laser beams us in the game, doesn't eat us.
I wish she could've eaten us! Come on @Ubisoft ! The game was already rated M!

#AssassinsCreedOdyssey Fact: Greek Sphinx was killed in-game was b/c we answered all her riddles! I appreciate the truth of myth to game & not fighting her.
BUT, I would've loved to see her devour herself and then the Piece of E would appear instead of just laying dead!
