How to unlock the Riddle Me This achievement in Assassin's Creed Odyssey - Definitive Guide

After finding the gates to Atlantis, the new questline unlocks and starts with the Sphinx.

She asks three random questions, I'll give you the answers to all of them. Then choose the matching symbols of the answers in order. E.g. if the answers are Moon, Sun, Star, you find the glowing symbols matching those to end the quest.

Answers:
What can bring back the dead, make you cry, make you laugh, make you young; is born in an instant, yet lasts a lifetime? Memories

This thing all things devour: Birds, Beasts, Trees, Flowers; gnaws iron, bites steel; grinds hard stones to meal; slays kings, ruins towns;
and beats high mountains down? Time

Some try to hide, some trt to cheat; bit time will show, we will always meet. Try as you might to guess my name; I promise you'll know, when you I do claim Death

As small as your thumb, I am light in the air. You may hear me before you see me, but trust I am there. Hummingbird

I'm Alive, but without breath; I'm as cold in life as I am in death,
I'm never thirsty, though I always drink Fish

I create my lair with earthen string, and dispatch my prey with a biting sting Spider

What is always old and sometimes new; never sad, sometimes blue; never empty, but sometimes full; never pushes, always pulls? The Moon

Never resting, never still; moving silently from hill to hill; it foes not walk, run or trot; all is cool, where it is not The Sun

At night they come without being fetched, and by day they are lost without being stolen Stars

In spring I am gay in handsome array; in summer more clothing I wear; when colder it grows, I fling off my clothes; and in winter quite naked appear Tree

What is large, yet never grows; has roots that cannot be seen; and is taller than all the trees? Mountain

What can run, but never walks; has a mouth, but never talks; has a head, but never weeps; has a bed, but never sleeps? Rivers

Once you've done answering her riddles, return to her and she'll tell you to hit the symbols of your answers in order. Once you've done that, the quest ends and the Sphinx is defeated.

To unlock this achievement you need to Outwit the Sphinx. You acquire the quest to do this after first discovering Atlantis and speaking to Pythagoras who will charge you with reclaiming four keys to unlock Atlantis. The four keys are each held by one of the four Legendary creatures that you fight: The Sphinx, The Minotaur, Medusa, and The Cyclops. See "Birthright" for details on how to find Atlantis to start these quests.

You will be asked to find Pythagoras's apprentice so go do this and then complete his short quest to get a key to activate the structure you're directed to. Once you activate the structure you are given a series of riddles by the Sphinx and these must be answered correctly to successfully outwit it. The answers i gave are:

  • The Tide
  • A River
  • A Mosquito

After answering these three questions you are asked to touch three symbols that represent your answers. This was honestly quite ambiguous and I guessed but it worked and unlocked the achievement, so I touched in this order (using the Sphinx as a reference point in the middle, there are six symbols either side, number 1 will be the symbol immediately next to the Sphinx):

  • Wave symbol sixth on the right of the Sphinx
  • Moon symbol first on the right of the Sphinx
  • Hummingbird symbol third on the left of the Sphinx

After pressing these a small cutscene plays then the achievement unlocked.

The answer does not have to be correct. The main thing is to choose the right pictures.
