Lore of the Sphinx was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Following Pythagoras' suggestion, Kassandra made her way to curious ruins south of Lake Kopais in Boeotia.
Kassandra travelled to the forest hill north of the Scorched Rolling Plains, arriving to a camp at the ruins situated on a cliff near the lake.
She went past the camp to the stairs of the strange ruins, and saw a man taking notes while observing a statue of the Sphinx.
As she approached him, she noticed the statue and its surroundings.

Kassandra showed him the broken half of an amulet that her father had given her.
