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.

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.

Default Beaten and found a bug (maybe ...)

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.

A/E - PermaSF, Sliver Armor, GoLE, Teinai's Crystals, Earth Attunement.

Watch your energy.

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.

yup ... my assasin just did the quest now but she only used Conjure Phantasm, just place 12 into illusion and have a heal and run; takes about 6-10mins.

so that means anyone can use the mesmer secondary to do the quest with ease.

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.

That's it basically. I tried all the ranger "its easy" builds and a few other ones, and he breaks aggro way too easy and spams spirits in your range so the kiting and running up the hill doesn't work. Or when it does you have to waste time killing the spirits and he regens by then.

So I kept poison arrow, and maxed out death, got bone minions, shambling horrors, and blood of the master, ran right up top him and he was trapped, he could only spawn one spirit. I only used poison arrow twice since my energy was low when I switched from the staff. But I also brought barbed trap and tripwire that can be done with the staff so poison arrow in hind sight probably wouldn't matter anyway.

Just keep the minions alive and spawning and it was really easy. Also could bring troll ungeant to regen from BoM a little or in case you get targetted by the one spirit, I didn't but I assume it is possible.

Took maybe 3 minutes to burn him down this way.

[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.
