Glacial Griffon Tips (MERGED!!!)
Elinold Fyonex
man how the heck can you beat him? He's such an efficient spirit spammer and wars jsut suck against them (as do most other professions lol) Any tips or builds to beat him?
Sasuke The Betrayer
I used barbed arrows + poison arrow with a warrior... lol. Anything that can degen works fine. Just takes a while. I tried zerging him and he wouldn't stop casting.
JeniM
Greneths Balance FTW - Great self heal and major damage dealing
fgarvin
He will eventually glitch on a tree/hill/spirit/thatched hut...whatever. After he's done that, degen ftw.
DergeDraconis
Life Transfer, Life Siphon + other degen = win

I made up a Any/R build to kill this guy. It uses core skills that you should already have (except 1) and PvE skills.
[skill]Apply Poison[/skill][skill]Savage Shot[/skill][wiki]"I Am The Strongest!"[/wiki][wiki]"Finish Him!"[/wiki][wiki]Deft Strike[/wiki][skill]Troll Unguent[/skill]
Shoot from the hills along the side to increase your range and damage. Simply use a Longbow to keep out of range of the spirits and keep the Griffon poisoned. Always Interrupt Shadowsong to be safe, though it's not a big deal if you don't.

This is how i started my plan with the griffon, but then he glitched up and didn't move anymore while i popped him from atop the rocks. i got a free pass.

Glitch him on the merchant's spot by pulling... He'll only spam 1 spirit at the time. Get your interupt and degen, then watch him die
Elinold Fyonex
i took consume soul, watch yourself, the dwarf rank stance-lengthener, and flail and lion's comfort and dolyaks sig no spirits = easy match
Evalbane
I went Ranger/Nec and used the corpses and then he got stuck on a wall and I used poison and screaming shot I think until it died.
Pupu
beat him as this on day of gwen was released alot of running around lol ;/
Racthoh
Consume soul takes away all of his offense. Then fill in the other 7 slots to kill him.
Miss Puddles
r/n: grenth's balance, apply poison, lightning reflexes, antidote signet, distracting shot, troll unguent. lots of kiting, he got stuck on the othe side of the hill on the right side, i was able to degen him with poison without getting hit by the spirits. grenth's balance when you can = dead griffon.
Dart The Eternal
I have spent the last week trying to eat this guy, have paid over 25k for skills and cap signets and still have not beaten him, I have tried many builds and no luck. Please has anyone beaten this guy with a warrior since the update making it so he no longer gets stuck and so on.

Beat him day before yesterday on my warrior. I went W/N with the following skill list:
Grenths Balance
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Savage Slash
"You Move Like a Dwarf"
Healing Signet
Doylak Signet
Last Skill choice is up to you
Now here is the thing; you wont be able to take him on as soon as he spawns because he starts spamming spirits. Even if you interrupt a couple, he will continue to cast all the rest. Somehow the AI doesnt relax until he has laid out all of the spirits at least once and he wont attack you until he has finished the cast so your main offence i.e. riposte and GB are useless. So the way to do it is, attack him in the beginning but when the spirits get through, withdraw. Once he finishes, pull him with a long bow to the edge of the his spirits range. He will now start attacking you. Keep spamming your ripostes and use savage slash/move like a dwarf to interrupt him whenever you see him start to cast (he doesnt cast all of them one after the other like he does in the beginning. He tried casting only 4 times when I was pounding him and I interrupted each one).
Use Grenth Balance when your health goes down to 100-150 and it will do massive damage on him. By the way, keep doylak signet up all the time and never use healing signet unless doylak is up.
Oh and for attributes, max tactics with the rest in strength for doylak and just match the requirement for your sword.
Hope this helps.

55 mo/n with SV... easy.

Both my Warrior and my Monk got thre griffon by turning into a spirit spammer, the same build I use for the bison tournament. All you need is one energy boosting staff.
Ursan blesing, Painful bond, Summon spirits, Pain, Bloodsong, Vampirism, Shadowsong, Disenchantment.
(and, BTW, I just did it yesterday, so the latest changes to the quest are beatable).

Woot, I finally did it. Skills are Sever Artery, Gash, Riposte, Deadly Riposte, Shield Stance Lions Comfort, Grenths Balance (necro no attribute elite from Dragon's Lair) and Signet of Stamina. Using my longbow, I pulled the griffon away from the spirits, took a few shots, then after it got to me, I hit Shield stance, then Riposte, deadly Riposte after first hit, Sever Artery, followed by Gash, by then it pounded me a bit, so I broke attack, and hit Grenths Balance, and hit Signet of Stamina if health was still low and ran away from the newly spawned spirits at my location, got to another spot and repeated the process. When his health gets low, it will be a matter of just spamming ripostes Sever artery and gash and running away as GB will no longer have an affect. Watch carefully as you are running away, be sure to hit Sig of Stamina when necessary. I started out by running up the hill directly to the right and then alternated the other 2 hills to give me the height advantage over the spirits for range with my longbow. Takes some practice, I did it 4 times with this build before I got him. Totaly, I made 46 efforts at this guy. For my gear, I have my ancient armor, Sup vigor, minor strength, and minor tactics all radiant insigs for extra energy, and helm is Sup sword. I used Victos Bulwark -2 damage in a stancehealth 30 and my Sskai's sword, 10% furious, max damage, 30 health any longbow will do, but I used the Sundering one ya get by typing Bonus if ya had the preview code or preorder for GWEN. Attributes were 13 Tactics, 9 Strength, and 12 Sword
ReiNaruto
I beated him with "Apply Poison", "Screaming shot", "Vampirism", "You move like a dwarf", "Nightmare weapon", "Drunken Master", "Savage Shot" and "Lacerate" or maybe "Glass Arrows". Don't remember the elite at this moment.

[skill]mark of rodgort[/skill][skill]mind blast[/skill][skill]breath of fire[/skill][skill]fire storm[/skill][skill]flame djinn's haste[/skill][skill]mystic regeneration[/skill][skill]fire attunement[/skill]
Use the aoe on the spirits when you need to. Keep rodgort on the griffon and hit him with a fire wand/staff if dissonance is bugging you or mind blast for the energy. If he's standing still making spirits, aoe him. If he comes close to you, flame djinn and run. Bring anything you like for 8th skill.

Just for people who needs help with this in the future.... (",)
One method that'll work with ALL CLASSES is as a Primary/Secondary NECROMANCER:-
SKILLS:
1) Animated Bone Minions
2) Animated Bone Horror
3) Animated Shambling Horror
4) Blood of the Master
5) Grenth's Balance
6) Anything (Preferably Energy Boost)
7) Anything (Preferably Energy Boost)
8) Anything (Preferably Energy Boost)
ATTRIBUTES: Death Magic as high as possible. Do whatever you want with the rest... Keep in mind that energy management is very important here.
WEAPON/ARMOR: Anything that gets your Energy to 50 and above...
STEPS:
Before the Glacial Griffon arrives/become hostile run to the wolves' corpses.
BEGIN CASTING:
1. Animated Bone Minion (2 Minions Total),
2. Animated Bone Horror (3 Minions Total),
3. Animated Shambling Horror (4 Minions Total),
4. Animated Bone Minion (6 Minions Total),
5. Animated Bone Horror (7 Minions Total),
6. Animated Gone Minions (9 Minions Total).
Don't bother healing your undeads before you get 7 or more of them. Concentrate on getting more minions first. Wait a while to gain energy if required. Don't worry, by the time you get 6-7 minions out, he won't be summoning any/too many spirits.
By the time you get 7-9 minions, he'll be too busy dealing damage to them to even worry about killing you.
Using Blood of the Master, heal your minions when you see their health going lower than 75%. Otherwise, don't waste too much energy. Keep up the healing until YOUR OWN health's pretty low. Use Grenth's Balance on the Griffon - it'll take a huge chunk of HP from it for yourself. Continue to heal your minions and use Grenth's Balance when YOUR HP is low.
Rinse and Repeat. He'll be wasted in no time.
Hope this helps... It's pretty simple, but you've gotta be fast, especially in the beginning.
Good luck!
Cheers.

Ok, the Glacial Griffin is just pwning me whatever strategy I use. I'm close to giving up and i need help. Anyone got a foolproof method to killing this son of a... ?
Kyomi Tachibana
I used Poison Tip Signet, Heal Sig, Troll Unguent, Bonetti's Defense, Antidote Signet, You Move Like a Dwarf, and Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support, and just degen'd him to death, all you gotta do is make sure you kite/pull him away from spirits, took awhile but I did it.
Hehe, had Remedy Signet instead of Antidote Sig in there. >_> Oops.
12 Tactics, 12 Wilderness by the way.

Oh btw I've tried Poison arrow, I keep getting obstructed n stuff.
Nightmares Hammer
Spirits. Bloodsong, Dissonance, Shadowsong, Pain, Painful Bond = pwned.
07moj
How do I get those up without running out of energy?
Nightmares Hammer
Use energy boosting equipment.
07moj
I don't have the money for that :S
Nightmares Hammer
Collector stuff, then. You just need a focus & wand.
07moj
I might try Poison Arrow again, the only reason mostly why I couldn't hit it because it kept moving around or I got blinded by Shadowsong 
Lord Xivor
Grenth's Balance ftw.

Ursan, Ruby Djinn. EV Assassin & a self heal.. works with all professions

Warrior's Endurance
Distracting Strike
Distracting Blow
Savage Slash
You Move like a Dwarf
Deadly Riposte
Riposte
Flail
Run upto him, dont let him cast ANY spirits, just keep interrupting him. If he gets a spirit up, restart. It takes a few goes to get the timing right, and it CAN be done with this build. I have the proof >.>
Good luck.
Any problems Pm me
