Detailed Walkthrough
Progressing in the Blacksmith’s Blues side quest will reveal Dozmare. This is available during the main quest, Here be Monsters. Talk to August in the Hideaway to begin the quest.
Prioritize the quest and follow the marker to the forge, where you must talk to Blackthorne.
Afterward, you will have to speak with Charon, who will be just behind you when the cutscene with August ends.
Speaking with Charon will reveal that taking down the Griffin is the best way to proceed. To find the Griffin, the next step is to reveal its identity using the Hunt Board. Head over to the Hunt Board using your waypoint and talk to Nektar. Ask about the Griffin sightings, and Nektar will tell you about Dozmare, which is the troublesome Griffin.
Now, using the map, fast travel to the Obelisk in Caer Norvent River Gate. Once there, walk slightly West of the location until you reach a giant clearing.
Head inside this clearing, and there will be some shining sparks towards the edge.
Walk towards these sparks; eventually, the camera will pan towards the wall, and you can spot Dozmare. Dozmare will leap down from the wall following a short cutscene. This will begin the fight, so ensure that you are prepared.
After defeating Dozmare, a Wounded Tanner will appear. Talk to him, and he will provide you with the Treated Leather that Blackthorne requires.
After talking to Tanner, fast-travel back to the Hideaway and talk to Blackthorne. This will remove the Treated Leather from your inventory, completing the quest.
