Dragon’s Dogma 2 features a variety of enemy types that you can find all across its expansive world. Each of these enemies provides a unique challenge – especially the larger ones. One of these enemy types is the Griffin.
However, a lot of players seem to be having a problem finding Griffins. Not to worry, we are here to help you out. In this guide, we’ll be showing you exactly how you can find Griffin locations. We’ll also provide some additional tips to ensure Griffins don’t get away. Let’s get into it!
Where To Find Griffin Locations
There are no fixed spots for finding Griffins in Dragon’s Dogma 2. So, we’ll first look at areas that you need to look out for when locating them. After that, we’ll provide you with some specific spots where you can find them often.
Griffin Locations Explained
Locating Griffin can be a pain for some players in Dragon’s Dogma 2. This is because there is no specific spot indicated by the game. Additionally, the game doesn’t offer you much in terms of guidance.
However, there are certain areas where you’ll have better luck finding Griffin. These Griffin locations are:
- Areas with fields and livestock, like cows and Ox
- Ox Trails where you’ll see convoys of Oxcarts
- Near Griffin nests that you can find in high places and overlooks
- Flying in the sky at random points.
So, be on the lookout for areas like these, and you should be able to find quite a few Griffin locations. Just make sure to keep an eye on the sky!
With that said, there are some specific areas on the map that tick these boxes. We’ll look at these areas next where you’ll likely have more luck finding some Griffin to fight.
Fields and Ox Trails Near Vernworth
In general, you’ll find a lot of fields with livestock in the Vermund area. However, if you’re looking for Griffin, there is a great area near the city of Vernworth. We have the Griffin location marked on the map below.
In this area, there are both fields and ox trails. So, we recommend hanging out near the livestock or following the oxcarts. While you do so, keep an eye out in the sky.
Sooner or later, you’ll have a Griffin attack the oxcart or livestock. This is your chance to fight them! Speaking of oxcarts, you might be interested in completing the Phantom Oxcart Quest.
Forested Griffin Nest near Misty Marshes
Another reliable location where you are guaranteed to find a Griffin is the Forested Griffin Nest. You can find this area in the Misty Marshes area. We have the location marked on the map below.
Typically, you’d go to this Griffin nest because there are some great rewards you can get here. But hey, if you’re looking for a Griffin, then you get to tick both boxes.
Once you’re in the area, focus on gaining some altitude. Just keep climbing the rocks and killing any enemies that come in your way.
Eventually, you’ll be able to spot the Forested Griffin Nest, along with the Griffin inside it. This creature will defend its nest to the death so be ready for a fight!
Don’t forget to get the great rewards inside, which includes a really valuable Portstone!
Bakbatthal Ox Trail in Battahl
You can also find Griffin locations on the other side of the map in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Make your way to the Bakbatthal Ox Trail and follow an Oxcart convoy there. In some instances, you might have to be closer to the Gate of Battahl.
The general location of this Ox Trail is shown on the map below.
In these rocky areas, you’ll find that Goblins will also sometimes ambush me. However, if you’re not watching, a Griffin might also come from above and jump scare you!
Dealing with Griffins Flying Away
One major issue that a lot of players deal with is Griffins flying away during battle. As a result, the effort that goes into locating Griffins can end up being wasted.
To deal with Griffins flying away, you’ll need to focus on setting their wings on fire. You can do this in a variety of ways, including using fire arrows or fire spells. When the wings are on fire, Griffins won’t be able to fly away.
You can use these opportunities to deal as much damage as possible! Be careful though, as Griffins can have really powerful attacks. Check out our Escape Grab Attacks guide to see how you can deal with their grab attacks!
That’s everything you need to know about finding Griffin locations in Dragon’s Dogma 2. We encourage you to explore the map and look for other areas where Griffins can appear.
