It is so easy to beat it now with A/E
glyph of swiftness
deadly paradox
shadow form
critical eye
critical agility
you can't be touched, just add in some attack skills and you're set.

the change to Steelfang Slash might have killed it, i used kd as a interrupt on his spirits and it went down on the 1st try. used this on most solo quests btw.
the necro build works for warriors too, you just need as much energy you can get, my guildie managed w/ a cupcake and 2x honeycomb but i dont think you need all that, a offhand and a +5 weap should be just fine

I did it today on my monk
After several tweaks I beat him with this:
[build= OwUDE8Y+SfA2g2kAVmE9A8DoEA]
I just hex and kite with [you move like a dwarf] which also serves to disrupt him.
[Cry of pain] deals damage and interrupts him
the remaining skills are interrupts and the last 2 are extra damage dealing and to kill any annoying spirit that he have managed to pop at an inconvenient spot.

Anyone with 4 pips of regen, or with smart use of Auspicious Incantation should be able to use this:
[build prof= Illusion=12 Inspiration=12][Crippling Anguish][Conjure Phantasm][Auspicious Incantation][Conjure Nightmare][Mantra of Persistence][Ether Feast][Cry of Pain][Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support][/build]
Damage is mainly degen, but it only took two minutes.

Once your party reaches 60% DP in Hard Mode you don't get ressed at shrines.
tatsuya uchiha
yes i know that only a few of my party was at 60% ogden was at 43% when that happened i made sure of it
DarkGanni
You reached 60dp and when whole party gets 60dp in Hard Mode that means game over.
You have to restart all over again. When doing HM I suggest taking powerstones or other DP removing consumables,
also rework your skills bars for better chance to survive.

Thats actually wrong, its when the whole party is @60dp you lose, not when YOU specifically are at 60dp, because I know i have been @60, and rezed because one of my heroes, usually the one with [Death Pact Signet] is on less then 60.
malko050987
If there was lots of death during the battle, it's likely that Odgen died two times, jumping from 43% to 60%. Sometimes you can miss a death&rez by the H/H team if you're fighting.

My suggestion is to get a longbow. Keep on shooting the griffin on higher ground and move back. He will continue to cast spirits at that same place, but the spirits can't attack you. Once he laid down all his spirits, shoot him again and DPS him. I did this with a friends warrior with YMLAD and the dwarven headbutt spamming build and killed him without much problems. I also added Vigorous Spirit for the extra heal
Voodoo Rage
This worked for my ele:
[build=OgRDQbtMSrlVBTBUB6i5iAAAAA]
Spammed my minions (mindbender worked nicely to reduce casting time). Literally stood right in front of the griffin to body block him. He just stood there doing nothing while my minions took him down. I never had to heal them and the sniper support took his head off unnecessarily at the end.

My original build had spoil victor which I never actually used (there's a wasted 10k elite tome right there...). I never need my blood of the master either since the griffon seemed more interested in un-body blocking itself more than attacking anything (I was standing right in his face and he never took a swipe at me). Death Nova wouldn't have mattered either. It's more of a glitch than anything.
Ultima pyromancer
not sure if this has been posted, but it just worked a treat for me
[BUILD=OgRDUsqMOThqwR1KQMKi+C8A]
Spam the minions as soon as you get in, making animate bone minions your priority, quickly run to the griffon and the minions will body block him. spam tenais/searing heat and MoR with a flame staff. Also spam Blood of the master to lower your health then hit him with Grenths when your health is around 100. You can push it lower than that, but its not advisable. When his bar is 1/5 downish, just staff him and the minions/degen should kill. Easily doable in 1 min
enjoy

I did this on my assassin with relative ease by kiting around him and bringing enough health in my shadow arts to heal myself and then on bought mesmer secondary and got massive amounts of degen, while using You Move Like a Dwarf for knockdowns. I brought a build with something a long these lines.
-I had a staff with +20 energy and 20 enchants (what I use for running) and my radiant armor/attuned set on for energy-
Feigned Neutrality
Shadow Refuge
Conjure Nightmare
Conjure Phantasm
You Move Like a Dwarf
Dark Escape
Dash
Shroud of Distress
It has relatively simple usage I just used the running skills to keep out of his reach and switched off which mesmer spell i had on him to keep up all the degen. Obviousally use the other spells as needed for blocking and health. "You Move Like a Dwarf" is a lifesaver if you need to make a quick escape out of his range. Go get em tiger!

You're doing it wrong. But seriously, if you had 60dp and the rest of your party have been wiped a few times, perhaps it is for the better that you start over O_o. I really doubt this is a bug...maybe ogden WAS at 60 already.

Pin down + poison arrows(elite) + kindle arrows + go up the hill + longbow works perfect for me

This is how I did it as a W/E. [Gladiator's [email protected]] [[email protected]] [Deadly [email protected]] [Bonetti's [email protected]] [Fire [email protected]] [Heal [email protected]] I used this as an A/E [Glyph of [email protected]][Deadly [email protected]][Shadow [email protected]][Fire [email protected]][Lightning [email protected]][Deft Strike] For the A/E, I used a totem axe to cast [Glyph of Swiftness] [Deadly Paradox] and [Shadow Form] zealous daggers to gain a bunch of energy between laying [Fire Storm] [Lightning Orb] [Deft Strike] all at once and an energy staff to lay them. Basically, start with glyph, paradox, and SF. Switch to energy stealers. Switch to Staff and cast the last three skills. Go back to energy stealers. Then to whatever weapon has the 20% enchanting mod to recast glyph, paradox, SF. Cycle through till death. It took like 7 or 8 minutes. I'm not going to claim this to be the best method, but I was proud of figuring it out on my own and it was certainly fun.

Having previously done with Ranger (poison and cripple) and warrior/mesmer (energy denial LOL) I tried with my Paragon.
Since I didn't want to turn my para into a spirit spammer or a MM, I just went to to Kamadan and unlocked Warmonger Weapon.
The build can be seen here:
With 12 channelling, I should have been able to interrupt all his spirits, then for 30s the beast shouldn't have been able to cast anything, because Ritual Lord works if the spirits are activated and not interrupted.
But when I tried, it casted the 4 spirits, I interrupted all of them, then bleeded and crippled, burned and signet for energy, and after less than 20sec. it started spamming again
I haven't read anywhere that bosses in EotN have half skill recharge of ALL SKILLS.
So I ended up using an essence of celerity to shorten WW recharge, and furious because of the bug I also used some sweets for more energy, required for some other additional interrupts that I wouldn't have needed if the beast had been correctly programmed.
EDIT
I posted this in bug section and actually I discovered thet it has natural HSR of all skills. This is written on the official wiki but not on the old one which i normally use.
So my build only works provided that you use an essence of celerity.

After a few frustrating tries, I just went with the SF Sliver build. Took me about ten minutes in NM, it's probably faster in HM. Just attack him so sliver locks on him, and chase after him if he runs away.

Necro's or Monks can go 55/SV only take YMLAD with you to interrupt [[Bloodsong] so you can't be killed by life stealing. For other profession i used [[burning arrow], [[Poison tip signet] and a run skill to break aggro. [[Poison tip signet] has no energy cost so a warrior has no energy probs. Use of [[Favorable Winds] can kill him faster because you do more damage.

Did it with my new necro yesterday and I was trying to see just how easy and simple I could make it. 2 skills was all I needed.
[animate bone minions]
[barbs]
The trick to stand right in front of the griffin and body block him so that he can't move to cast any more spirits. Now, I was just trying to be cocky, so obviously you could mix in a bunch of other skills to make it easier but the main thing is that you have to completely body block him with the minions.

[Grenth's Balance][Animate Bone Minions][Blood of the Master][Barbs][Necrosis][Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support]
That's an Any/N template to beat Griffon really easy.
Just keep casting [Animate Bone Minions] soon as you zone in. You'll have 8 - 10 minions up when the griffon goes hostile, minions run in and block him. Just use [Barbs] and spam [Blood of the Master] over and over. When you are < 100 hp, use [Grenth's Balance] to heal up.
When Griffon's health is less than you when you are ~150 hp, its time to bring out [necrosis] and [ebon vanguard assassin support] to finish him off. Easy & fast.
PS: If doing this on a warrior, you will have some energy problems. I used a Zealous Spear with +5e & a high energy set with +42 energy (15+15+12) to do it, which sounds harder than it is.

Did it with my mesmer. I tried getting cute and going with a signet of illusions build to give me high ranking minions but I forgot that unless you spec points into death magic, you can't raise more than two minions.
Again, trying to keep it simple. Necro secondary. 12 rank in both curses and death:
[animate bone minions]
[barbs]
No need for any other skills, but obviously others could help.
