The Almost-a-Bull is a monster in Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy.
Description[]
- "Almost-a-Bull is named so not only for the two horns atop its head, but also for its unnerving habit of charging and attacking anyone wearing the color red."
- ―Book of Sphinx
- "Uses its horns to violent effect."
- ―Monster Inspector
- "Often found in Heliopolis, the Almost-a-Bull’s defense mechanism sees it shrink in order to present a smaller target for any attacker. A unique breeding mistake led to one hand being replaced with a third horn; almost an evolutionary anomaly."
- ―Abydos Museum
Traits, Appearance, and Abilities[]
The Almost-a-Bull appears to be completely covered in bandages like a mummy. It uses its claws to deliver brutal and dangerous attacks. Almost-a-Bulls appear from gas vents, and shrink in size with each strike from the Blade of Osiris; if not killed, they go back to the gas vents to regrow and heal.
Strategy for Sphinx[]
Slash at the shrinking monster until it is dead. The best strategy is to stand on the gas vent, preventing it from returning to safety.
Locations[]
- Great Wall Entrance I (Non-Respawning)
- Lost Temple of Heliopolis
