Eldest and soggiest of all the Lycaeum's guardians, they pose riddles to all who dare trespass in those hallowed, sunken halls. Since nobody has figured out how to talk underwater, the only answer a Deep Sphynx has ever gotten to a riddle is "glub glub", which has made them so mad they've just started attacking people.
Base health
At spawn, minute zero, before the run scales it.
Contact damage
Move speed
XP dropped
How it fights
- Health × your level. Multiplied by your character level at the moment it spawns, then locked in.
- Cannot be pushed. Published knockback is zero.
Resists
The game publishes a magnitude for each of these and never says what the scale is, so treat them as effects that land badly rather than as percentages.
Where it spawns
The LycaeumHealth here is the base figure the game spawns it with. Enemies gain health every minute the clock runs, Curse multiplies it again, and Inverse doubles the whole stage before any of that. This one also multiplies its health by your character level as it spawns, so it gets tougher the better your run is going.
