Author's Note
----------------------------
One of the most underrated platformers I've played thus far on the X-BOX has
been Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. Originally designed by Eurocom Software,
this masterpiece brings back the historic ideals of Egyptian times, yet
retains many elements often found in popular platform games. Often compared to
Zelda: Wind Waker, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy includes elements of puzzles,
action, and various role changes. Interactions with your environment will
determine your chance of succeeding at your mission. This FAQ/Walkthrough will
provide an in-depth analysis on how to complete the game, along with any side
quests that occur along the way. Extras, or secrets can be found in their
respective sections. Be warned though, spoilers are present throughout the
walkthrough. May the gods of Egypt bless you like a royal Pharoah.

Updates
----------------------------
=05/08/05= v Final
Added a small missing section from the walkthrough on how to obtain the green
password in the Uruk Islands. I've received many questions since this time, and
am deeply sorry from the error. No more updates on this guide. Now that I look
back, this had to be one of my best works ever.
=02/16/04= v1.0
Finished the FAQ. Was earlier than my expected deadline, but this was because
of Ninja Gaiden's delay [ :( ]. Anyhow, the FAQ is 100% complete. The
walkthrough goes step-by-step from the beginning to the end. Side quests are
listed accordingly. Going to submit tonight.
=02/06/04= v1.0
Started the FAQ. Going to lay down the basic formatting, then start on the
walkthrough so I can keep pace with my current game file. Will work on the
side quests and item list after the walkthrough is complete. Expecting a
release date sometime around February 23rd.
- To make it easier on yourself, any chapter with a (#.#) listed afterwards
represents that it's part of an "easy search" function. Simply press CTRL + F
on your keyboard, then type the number located inside the parentheses. Click
find next, and it should bring you to that section immediately.

- 1) Introduction          -
============================
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is the classic example of an underachieving,
underrated, and unheard of classic. It's basically a 3D platformer that puts
you in the role of Sphinx, a partial demigod who is performing tasks for his
Master to protect the current land from evil clutches. Based around Egyptian
times, most of the names and item labels resemble that of this historic period
thousands of years ago. On your journey, a sinister plot unfolds which
includes both Sphinx and a Cursed Mummy to join together as a force of one.
However, Sphinx is more than just some Crash Bandicoot look-a-like. It
features some of the most complex puzzles you can find in modern video games.
Your environment will become your most hated enemy, and wanted friend. Nearly
every interaction causes you to wrack your brain in search of a delightful
answer to the puzzle.
Not only that, but Sphinx combines excellent graphics, dramatic music, and all
of the modern marvels we see in next generation video games. Combine this with
the modest $20 price tag, and you have yourself an instant hit. Often compared
to Beyond Good & Evil (another low $20 hit that raved excellent reviews), this
is why Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is considered to be top five on Game of the
Year. Expect to go on a bewildering journey that mimics many adventure games,
but keeps a keen sense of entertainment amongst itself. Can you save your land
from being overtaken by evil forces? Or will you fail at the mercy of another
Egyptian God? It all comes down to you - Sphinx.
Here's a brief excerpt from the manual of the storyline (credit to THQ):
.../+\... AN ANCIENT EMPIRE .../+\...
It is an ancient Egypt not told in the history books - the powerful Egyptian
Universal Empire that once joined several worlds through Solar Disc portals.
However, the old empire was destroyed and the magical crowns that held the
portals together were scattered and lost. The civilizations in each world have
become separate, each suffering its own fate. Some of the civilizations have
retained contact with others; some have lost contact completely and have lost
all memory of their former allies.
The legend says that two forces are trying to recover the old empire and all
of its crowns. One is Osiris, who is a positive force. The other is the dark
Set, whose intentions are believed to be destructive. Still, little is known
of these gods and their true goals, or even if they really exist. But the
signs are ominous, and it is clear that something is happening. News -
disturbing news - is spreading... about normally peaceful villages at war,
plagues of monsters overrunning the once peaceful countryside. Nobody knows
why this is happening...
The chain of communication between the worlds remains largely abandoned and so
unstable that to use it is likely to cause even more problems and dangers.
Many people have used the portals but disappeared without a trace. Use of the
portals is not recommended. You never know what you will encounter on the
other side, or if you'll get anywhere at all.
"Two heroes. One mission."
Their methods couldn't be further apart.
Get ready for intense, mind-boggling 3D action in the world of ancient
Egyptian gods, goddesses, mummies and a host of supernatural creatures.
Experience an unfolding mystery as you play Sphinx and his reluctant friend,
the Mummy. Along the way, you'll uncover dark secrets, discover new abilities
and items and encounter hundreds of fascinating creatures. Sphinx's journey
will require wirts, agility, and a variety of special powers, as well as the
aid of the Mummy, when being inconspicuous is the only solution. Sphinx's
quest is an epic one - to find the lost sacred crowns of Egypt and stop the
evil Set before he shrouds the world in darkness.
----------------------------
As you can see, the game puts great emphasis on the Egyptian storyline. Again,
most of your action will take place between 2 characters, Sphinx and a Mummy
(whose background is revealed later on in the game). Expect the unexpected, as
most would in a time of danger.

============================
- 2) Game Basics           -
============================
The X-BOX controller fits fairly well to the entire theme of a 3D platformer.
First of all, most of your action will occur between the joystick and the
actual four buttons on the controller. Aside from that, depending on what type
of environment your character is interacting with, that usually determines
which control set is used.
KEY representation for each button:
Thumbstick = left/right thumbstick pads (black)
Control Pad = left directional pad (black)
A = A button (green)
B = B button (red)
X = X button (blue)
Y = Y button (yellow)
R = R trigger (black, underneath right side of controller)
L = L trigger (black, underneath left side of controller)
START = Start button (black, center)
BACK = Back button (black, center)
Black = Black button (black, right)
White = White button (white, right)
______________
/Game Controls/
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Left Thumbstick - moves character
Control Pad - opens up items menu
A - jumps
B - attacks (Sphinx only)
X - action button (uses items, opens doors, etc.)
Y - assign shortcut items, capture monsters
R Trigger - assign shortcut items, capture monsters
L Trigger - assign shortcut items, capture monsters
Right Thumbstick - rotates camera angle
START - pauses game
BACK - brings up inventory menu, view logs/quests
Black Button - boss camera (focuses primarily on enemies)
White Button - centers camera
- You cannot attack anything until you discover the Blade of Osiris, or if
your character is not assigned weapons. The control pad brings up a menu to
quick select items. All of these actions will appear in the upper right corner
of the screen. Whenever you can interact with something, the corresponding
button will light up on the interface. This is an easier way to know what you
can, and cannot interact with.
___________________
/Controlling Sphinx/
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Left Thumbstick - moves Sphinx
Right Thumbstick - rotates camera view
A - jumps (hit twice to double jump)
White Button - centers camera
B - performs short attack
B (2x or 3x) - performs chain/combo attack
B (hold) - backhand sword slash
A + B - performs overhead attack
A (2x) + B - performs overhead slam
- Sphinx can eventually double jump once he receives a special item. Most
specific skills in the game require an item to "learn" or be able to perform
that ability. The backhand sword slash is similar to a 360 degree circle
attack. An overhead attack causes for a rising blade swing to occur 180
degrees directly over your head. An overhead slam has Sphinx jump extremely
high, then quickly rush down with his blade as part of a slam.
_________________
/Surface Swimming/
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Left Thumbstick - default speed swim across surface
A - jumps
B - dives
X + Left Thumbstick - fast surface swim
____________________
/Underwater Swimming/
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Left Thumbstick - change character's direction
A - default speed swim
B - attack
X - fast swim
__________________________
/Grabbing, Hanging, etc.../
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Left Thumbstick - climbs, shuddles over, hangs
A - jumps upward
B - drops down
___________
/Screen HUD/
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
As with every game, there's usually a special screen layout which will be
consistently used throughout the game. A well-known term for this type of
screen is the player's HUD. It basically holds all important information that
the player needs to know in order to be successful at the game. Sphinx's HUD
is fairly easy to get use to, and is very reminiscent of Zelda: Wind Waker's
layout.

|                                           ### Scarabs |
|_______________________________________________________|
- Your item menu can be activated by pressing the left direction control pad.
It only pops up temporarily on the screen, and is often used when combining
items with certain slots, changing ammunition for your blowpipe, or assigning
a specific item to a button slot. The items are listed below in the item
content area.
- Your gold health ankhs do not always appear on screen. In most cases,
they'll temporarily pop up whenever you are injured during gameplay, or pick
up Ankh potions. The red colored portion (represented by @@ symbols) is split
into three thirds. Depending on your opponent's attack power, you'll usually
lose one third of the red circle. Also, if you fall off an edge, or have a
miscellaneous death, it will only take 1/3 chunk out of the red blood. Once
you lose all blood in an Ankh, it will turn an empty black color. These can be
refilled by visiting the correct people, or finding Gold Ankh containers
(replenish one full ankh). More Ankh containers (increases capacity by one)
can be obtained later in the game via boss fights, and/or rewards. Also, four
Ankh pieces (special quest items) when combined with the right person can form
an Ankh container.
- The control menu in the upper right is used for interacting with objects. If
you can alter or affect another object, the X button will have an action
appear over it. Otherwise, all buttons appear transparent until something is
assigned to them, or a function is implemented.
- Your number of scarabs is located in the lower right corner. This will
frequently pop up only when you enter stores to purchase things, or are about
to spend money. It does not always appear in the bottom corner.
- Other than that, most of your action takes place near the center of the
screen. Remember that camera angles can be adjusted using the Black/White
buttons.
___________
/Characters/
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Throughout the game, you'll come across numerous NPCs, or characters that will
assist Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy on their perilous journey. In most cases,
these characters will provide you with helpful hints, or give items that
provide you with certain abilities. Either way, it's important to understand
their influence on the storyline.
%--------%\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
| SPHINX | Race: Part demigod, animal
%--------%////////////////////////////
- Main hero of the game, and the primary character you will play as. Sphinx
is a young, brash, and impatient warrior. Anxious to take action against
the forces of evil, he sets off his quest to restore the waning powers of
the old gods. In his quest, his destiny becomes intertwined with that of
Tutankhamen, now a mummy, and when he acquires the lost magical crowns, he
will be able to face Set and fulfill an ancient prophecy.
%-------%\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
| MUMMY | Race: Undead
%-------%////////////////////////////
- Pretty much your co-hero of the game who plays a partial part in
preventing Set's ascension. Young, naive, and inexperienced, Prince
Tutankhamen was led into a trap and changed into a shambling mummy. He
will need the help of Sphinx to retrieve the Canopic Vases containing
fragments of his soul, return to life, and challenge the evil Akhenaten
for his throne - and the love of Nefertiti.
%---------%\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
| IMHOTEP | Race: Part demigod, magician
%---------%//////////////////////////////
- Practically your boss in the game who leads you with advice, and assists
you on your journey. Master Imhotep is skilled in the art of magic, and
uses it to its fullest power. Unfortunately, his elder age prevents him
from engaging in battles as he use to. Imhotep serves the Gods, but also
keeps a separate view to make sure the world is set in balance.
%--------%\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
| ANUBIS | Race: God, Guardian of Osiris
%--------%///////////////////////////////
- Anubis is the guardian of the god of Osiris. Met later in the game, Anubis
will be your main hookup throughout the game. The mysterious god's
intentions are unclear. Whether he is friend or foe, only time will tell.
%-----%\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
| SET | Race: God of Evil
%-----%////////////////////////////
- Villain of the game who you will frequently encounter through indirect
methods. Sole reason for the suffering and recent activity of evil
spreading throughout the land. Eventually, destiny recalls that Sphinx and
Set must battle to determine the fate of the land. Powerful magician who
can mimic forms of others. Shows no mercy on others.
%--------%\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
| OSIRIS | Race: God of Good
%--------%////////////////////////////
- Although you never meet him in his character form in the game, Osiris
plays an important part in Sphinx's role. Sphinx acquires Osiris's own
blade and shield to be used as combat weapons. Osiris is the twin brother
of Set, however, he represents a totally opposite realm.
%-------%\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
| HORUS | Race: Part demigod, bird
%-------%////////////////////////////
- Another young apprentice who serves under Imhotep (along with Sphinx). Met
early in the game, but eventually disappears after a mishap. Not much is
known about this mysterious figure who ends up taking the wrong path
decided by fate.
%----%\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
| RA | Race: Supreme God
%----%////////////////////////////
- Primary God who rules over all people, things, and other gods. Established
several thousand years ago, Ra created the world and everything around it.
Although you never meet him in the game, Ra set down a prophecy which is
carried through to Sphinx's life. Ra created Osiris and Set to balance out
good and evil in the world. Unfortunately, greed overtook Set's soul (a
quality of evil), and forced him to betray the other gods.
%-----------%\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
| NEFERTITI | Race: Human
%-----------%////////////////////////////
- Prince Tutankhamen's main love, and girlfriend throughout the game. She's
only interacted with briefly early in the game, but tries to tell the
Prince that a conspiracy is amidst throughout the castle. Unfortunately,
it's too late, and Tutankhamen is transformed into a mummy.

============================
- 3) Walkthrough           -
============================
As with many platformers and RPGs, there are usually times in the game where
you'll get stuck. Because of these obstructions, it can be very difficult to
figure out the correct way to get past a certain problem. The following
section basically will describe how to beat Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy step-
by-step. Every puzzle will be described in its entirety, along with any
boss/enemy battles. The walkthrough is split into several gaps in the plot.
Refer to the table of contents if you need more information. Remember,
spoilers are present.
**The game begins with a cutscene showing two brave warriors, and Master
Imhotep briefing them on their next mission. The two lads are named
Horus (the bird), and Sphinx. Ihmotep fears that evil is approaching
their world because the Temple of Uruk's red laser beam has been shining
brightly the past few days. He wants you to infiltrate Uruk, and retrieve
the Blade of Osiris as it's necessary to combating the forces of evil. He
then warps you both to the land of Uruk, and requests that you rely on
each other to reach the blade together. Unfortunately, Imhotep can help
you no longer as his powers are useless in this dimension.**
______________________
/Blade of Osiris (3.1)/
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
First of all, Horus mentions that it would be best if you split up. Head off
in his general direction, and you should see a few lava pathways, along with
coconut trees. Continue near the edge of this plateau on the right side. You
should see a pile of rocks. The game will briefly tell you how to interact
with items (press X). Pick up the rock, and then run over to the nearest
coconut tree. Toss it by pressing B, and a coconut should fall out. Take it.
Now, repeat this process for the other coconut tree which should be nearby to
its left. Once this is accomplished, go near the wall, and jump up the two
rock ledges to reach the top. Run over the lava pathway, and Horus will
mention that you need to figure out how to cross the river flow of the lava.
Wait there until you see two small rocks float downstream. Time your jumps
(hold down A for a longer jump), and leap from one rock, to the other, until
you meet the other side. Once there, move near the wall, and Horus will say
that you must use your wits to reach the area above. You should also see a
brief picture of a brown worm popping up from one of the lower lava rivers.
Before heading down there, there should be a coconut tree right next to the
high wall that you have to reach. Pick up a rock nearby, then toss it into the
tree to drop the third coconut. Now that you have 3 coconuts, head down to
where the worm popped up.
Press X to speak with him. Select Yes, and give him all three coconuts. He'll
thank you greatly, and will let you use his body to get "shot up" to where
Horus was standing. Stand near his tongue, and his mouth will open up. You
should get sucked inside. You're now viewing from inside his mouth. His head
should be wobbling back and forth horizontally. Press X when his head is aimed
directly in the middle. Then, press X again when his head reaches all the way
vertically up. After you've pressed X twice, you should be shot out up to the
location where Horus was. Go inside, and Horus will inform you that it's
impossible to reach the Blood of Ra fountain. There should be a pile of rocks
nearby. Pick up one of the rocks, and toss it at the big flower in the center.
This should destroy all fire flowers nearby.
**Horus will claim that he was just toying with you all along (although he
really wasn't). He says that you're slowing down his progress, and
hurridly rushes ahead.**
Walk into the red fountain area (where he was just standing), and stand still
for about five seconds. Run out, jump down the high ledge you're on, then
quickly run UP the lava stream that has the rocks flowing out. Don't worry,
the Blood of Ra protects you from taking damage in lava or geyser streams.
Now, head all the way up this channel (be quick though, the Blood of Ra aura
runs out in timed intervals). There should be a gray idol positioned near the
end of the tunnel. Run up to it, press X once, then pull the left thumbstick
down to pull the idol back. This will cause for lava to direct down this
pathway. Quickly run down the lava stream, and then head back to the worm.
Again, shoot yourself up to the Blood of Ra area, reform your aura, then head
down past the lava flow. This time, cross the river flow, and go straight
until you see a pussing lava geyser near the edge of the plateau. Stand on top
of it, and you should get shot up. Do this about 2-3 more times on the other
geysers until you reach the top level.
**An eyeball metallic device will notice your presence, and quickly shut
the door to the following area.**
Look to your right, and there should be a ledge you can hang from. Walk over
there, then hang down on the side of the ledge. Crawl over until you're about
3/4 of the way over, and rotate the camera so you can see where the eyeball is
looking. When it turns its head, press A to jump up, then quickly sprint into
the opened doorway. Continue onward, and you'll run into yet another
spectating eyeball. Head to an area slightly before the eyeball, and there
should be a pile of rocks. Pick up the rock, then walk up to the eyeball, and
press X to drop the rock on it. This should destroy the device. Continue
forth. In the new area, pass the two fire flowers, and continue through the
tunnel.
**Horus will mention that he possibly needs your help to move on. He also
suggests tossing a rock into the animal hole on the right to help you
reach the next area.**
First of all, before tossing any rocks, head over to where the three coconut
trees are. Take some rocks, and toss them at all of the trees there. You
should collect a grand total of 5 golden scarabs. These are basically the
monetary device in the entire land. From now on, you might want to try
knocking every tree possible to see what secret lies above. Now, toss a rock
into the animal hole on the right side of the map. It looks like a dark small
cove, and it's against the right wall. Little explosive buggers should pop up
to give you an "eventful" surprise. Lure them over to where the giant boulder
is resting (with three attached ropes). Stand behind one of the ropes, and the
little bugger should start to turn red. When he does, he should leap directly
forward into the rope causing it to be destroyed. Once this is accomplished,
repeat the process two more times (for the other remaining ropes). If no more
explosive buggers pop out, keep tossing rocks in the animal hole. Once all
three ropes are destroyed, the giant boulder should swiftly role down into the
lava river below.
Head over to where the boulder fell, then jump down on top of the boulder.
Jump again to where the ledge is, and use it as a boost.
**Horus will then mention to watch out for these spiders walking along the
wall. They can impede your progress greatly should you be bitten.**
For the following section, simply follow the picture diagram below to get past
the spiders. Also, make sure you use the Save Progress Statue at the bottom of
the ravine. These are the only way to save your progress in the game.
___________ >>>   |     they're marked with X's. Follow the arrows, and you should
|  ^   X  |     not have any problems.
|  ^ go to the right side of the banquet room, and search the
second wooden closet against the wall. Inside you'll find
an old amulet.
Once you have these two, go to the golden throne chair at the top of the room.
Walk up to it, and drag it out of the way. Behind it you will find a small
ventilation shaft. Press Y to crawl, then enter the shaft. Once you're inside
the gloomy place, go all the way straight ahead, and hit the switch. Now turn
around, and go right at the newly opened gate. Hit this switch. It should
rotate a wall that secretly puts you in your brother's room.
**You overhear a discussion between Akhenaten and the old hag. Apparently,
there's a big surprise coming for you (on your birthday party). Your
brother is planning to overtake the throne, and has planted several
Sarcophagi throughout the palace. The hag says that Nefertiti probably
has her letter, and that she's leaving a spare sarcophagus key in this
room.**
Once they leave, look in the lower left corner of the room for a solid statue.
*-*_*-* AMULET #3 --> The old amulet is located behind the statue in the lower
left corner of Brother Akhenaten's room.
Once you have this, search the rest of the room, and near the top is the
sarophagus key. Grab it, then go back to the rotating switch room, and switch
back to the old gloomy location. Now, head back to the ventilation shaft, and
crawl through to the other side. Once you're through, your chief guard will
inform you to be careful when traveling in the old unstable structures of the
palace. Now, sprint straight ahead towards the end of the banquet hall, but do
not leave. Between the two doors is a sarcophagus case. Walk up to it, then
use your newly found key to open it. Enter the casing. You'll then be warped
above the throne chair on a tall idol chair.
You're now on the upper portion of the banquet room. Look to your right. Jump
over there, then crawl/hang over until you make it to the small ventilation
shaft. Crawl in the opening. You should then be in a room where the door locks
behind you, and there is a sole statue of a god (along with a chest).
*-*_*-* AMULET #4 --> Open the chest to gain another old amulet.
Go near the statue, and press X to grab a hold of it. Drag it away a bit, then
let go. Jump down the hole. You should land back in the same gloomy room from
before. Crawl through the same ventilation shaft to the throne room. Now, go
back in the same sarcophagus case. Once above, this time, take the left side.
Go in the first sarcophagus case. It should warp you ahead of a chest on the
left side of the room. Slowly walk out, and hang on the small wooden ledge.
Shuddle over to your left until you see the chest above. Press A to jump up.
*-*_*-* AMULET #5 --> Inside the chest on the left side of the banquet room.
Once you have the five amulets, jump down to the banquet room floor. Leave the
banquet room, and immediately turn. There should be a sarcophagus case right
outside the entrance to the banquet room. Enter this one, and it should warp
you to a room with a closed chest. Open the chest, and inside you'll find a
Wardrobe Key. Head out the door behind you. This door act
