Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen - All Norgan Sphinx Riddle Solutions

October 13, 2026·3 min read

The Norgan Sphinx challenges players to solve three riddles involving the Mournful Giant, an ice wyrm and a hidden brooch.

The Norgan Sphinx in Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen gives you three riddles tied to the expansion's main quest: the Riddle of the Body, Soul and Will. Each requires a specific item found somewhere in Norgan, and all three must be completed before the story can continue.

You can solve the riddles in any order. Bring Heatstones and healing items before heading into the harsher areas, since two of the objectives involve dangerous enemies and severe weather.

Riddle	Required Item	Location	Reward
Body	Mournful Giant's Tusk	North of Norgandian Settlement	Norgan Portcrystal
Soul	Frozen Wyrmslife Crystal	Beorcan Stronghold	3,000 Rift Crystals
Will	Decorative Brooch	Mountain Stronghold	Eternal Wakestone

Riddle of the Body Solution

Return to the Norgandian Settlement and speak with Dwayne at the inn about the giant. Rest at the inn until morning, after which a roar points you toward a new objective north of the settlement.

Follow the marker into the mountains and defeat the Mournful Giant. Loot the Mournful Giant's Tusk from its body, then return it to the Sphinx at the Shrine of Wisdom to receive a Norgan Portcrystal.

Riddle of the Soul Solution

For the Riddle of the Soul, travel to the Beorcan Stronghold in western Norgan. You do not need to open the large door associated with the Beorcan's Twinned Keys, since another route through the ruins leads toward the required encounter.

Continue to the Frozen Battleground, where you will face Fimbl, an ice wyrm. Defeat it and collect the Frozen Wyrmslife Crystal, then give the crystal to the Sphinx to earn 3,000 Rift Crystals.

Riddle of the Will Solution

The Riddle of the Will sends you back to the Mountain Stronghold, the location of the earlier Fallen Dragon encounter. Enter the main battle area and search near the rear-center section for a Decorative Brooch lying on the ground.

Picking it up triggers an enemy attack, so either defeat the attackers or escape once the item is secured. Return the brooch to the Sphinx to complete the riddle and receive an Eternal Wakestone.

What Happens After All Three Riddles

After handing over the Mournful Giant's Tusk, Frozen Wyrmslife Crystal and Decorative Brooch, the Sphinx gives you the information needed to continue the Fallen Dragon storyline. You can then return to the Norgandian Settlement and speak with Polyeidus.

Completing that conversation moves the Dark Arisen main quest forward. Since all three riddles can be active at once, completing nearby objectives together can reduce unnecessary travel across Norgan.
