Basic griffin school gear - important information

Griffin School Gear - basic

Griffin school gear works best for those players who like using the signs - each part of the armor - as well as swords - have a bonus which increases as you upgrade the gear. To acquire all of the schematics for this gear, get yourself a map first (Edwin Greloff's First Map). You can buy it from a blacksmith in Midcopse in the western part of Velen (not far from Keira Metz's house). The gear also consists of a unique crossbow.

Required level: 11

Griffin Armor

Location: Dragonslayer's Nest near the Crookback Bog

Follow the path leading south-east from Lindenvale to find the entrance to the cave. On its end, you will find Dragonslayer's Nest to the north of Crookback Bog. Inside there will be some wraiths (level 7). Proceed to the end of the corridor in front of you.

Wall that is to be destroyed

Destroy the wall at the end of the corridor with Aard. Put down your torch if you have it as there will be some explosive gases inside. There will be more wraiths inside along with the (currently asleep) Leshen [20 level]. Quickly move through the narrow corridor and on its end use Aard on the rock.

Chest on top of the stairs

In the end there is an Ekkimara [level 11] to be dealt with. Use your dodges when he attacks you. It is recommended to have a Cat potion, it makes the fight easier as you don't have to hold a torch. After the fight, open the chest with the schematics on top of the stairs in the middle of the room.
