AboutTrey McGowan Expertise I can answer strategy questions for just about any video games. RPGs and collecting/raising sims are my major specialty, though I am also experienced in general strategy games, a variety of MMORPGs, and possibly even some much more esoteric ones. I can't promise that I'll be able to answer all your questions from personal experience, but I can promise that if I can't, I will do my utmost to research the answer before I give it to you.
Best consoles to ask about: NES, SNES, GB/GBC, GBA, Playstation, Playstation II. If you are asking outside of this list, please give a little extra time for some research to be done on the game.
Please note: if you are wanting a particular version of strategy (i.e. a *fast* playthrough, a powerful playthrough, a challenge game, a specific boss beat in a specific way), make sure the details are added. The more I know about what *you* want to know, the better.
Experience I am an avid player of video games of various types, including RPGs, strategy games, MMORPGs, et cetera. I have been playing since the Atari 1300 days, and even back then, learning the strategy and the like of the games was as interesting as beating it.

Question Hello there! ^^
I hear you can give advice on Sphinx and the cursed mummy! OKay, So I have been playing it and the part where you release the pharaoh in the cursed palace and then go chasing him down some corridor. In time he turns into a giant, green, spider like creature..... I have tried various times to find his weak point and failed, would you happen to know how to defeat him? He is making me so mad! >.<

Answer Hi there, Integra!
This seems to be a popular game for people to ask about! Either it's very good, or very difficult. Or both! :)
A little research brought me to the boss that you're looking at. And it's definitely a 'technical' battle on this one. As I'm sure you've noticed, he's immune to everything. What you need to do is use the rocks on the ground to stun him. Once he has been stunned, walk around behind him and start kicking his tail. Or at least attacking it. You should get a good hit or two in, at least, before he un-stuns and you do it again. Just repeat this process and he will go down. Simple? Yes. Easy? Not really, but that's part of the adventure!
Good luck with your critter-killing! If I took the wrong boss, feel free to correct me in a follow-up and I'll make double-sure! Any other follow-ups, questions, comments, et cetera, are welcome as well!
