Im kind of embarrassed, but i just cant beat this quest (its the glacial griffon thing).

have you guys beat it? and how?

EDA + Banishing Strike + Interupt for bloodsong.

Easy.

I did crippling anguish + conjure phantasm and ran around non-stop. Had natural healing too for any odd healing i needed. Just keep outa range of the spirits

Spirit spamming, as suggested.

I tried other ways of handling it but quickly got sick of it... even banishing strike wasn't really enough since I had to kill the griffon as well.

Heres what I took

Avatar of Lyssa + Poison Tip Signet + Fire Prer (forgot name) or Barbed Arrows + Sloth Hunters Shot + Interrupts + any self heals. I think I even brought favorable winds.

Switch to ranger secondary, take Toxicity, Poison Tip Signet, Hunter's Shot, Read the Wind. Bring along some self-heals or some extra ranged damage if you want.

Lay down toxicity, apply read the wind, apply poison tip signet, fire Hunter's Shot.

Lose aggro, when everything is ready, rinse and repeat. Takes a while but works wonders.

ive used a ripost build with alot of interup/KD i think its hardest for a warrior.

boarderx · Dec 07, 2007, 01:04 PM // 13:04

be sure to cap [skill]Wanderlust[/skill] it was much easier after i grabbed that, and yes i went with spirit spamming and interrupts [skill]dissonance[/skill] stagger wanderlust and dissonance and it should shut him down nicely

Bassu · Dec 07, 2007, 10:12 PM // 22:12

Lyssa + Mesmer degen hexes.

Darkside · Dec 07, 2007, 11:24 PM // 23:24

I used the same ritualist spirit spammer build that is used to beat bison.

I'm also having a bit of difficulty with this quest. Does anyone have any sort of in-depth tip for killing this griffon?

As i said 3rd post. Use crippling anguish and conjure phantasm. Spam them to degen him to death, i didn't even need him to get stuck (the bug that is now fixed). Take natural healing for spot heals, a 15/1 staff maybe and some form of e-management if you wish.

/Rt spirit spamming is lolwin

Coloneh · Dec 10, 2007, 12:42 AM // 00:42

i didnt find spirit spamming that effective.

i got him with /R

grab favorable winds, toxicity, pious haste, a long/flatbow, apply poison, some sort of heal and a few choice bow attacks.
run to the top of the hill on the right, by the gate. place spirits a little down the hill. apply poision and fire a few shots at him. you should be fine, but if he runs at you use pious haste to the top of the hill to lose him. you can fire almost the entire radar range from the top of the hill.

blurmedia · Dec 10, 2007, 08:38 AM // 08:38

I killed him in under 20 seconds with spirits

Hate to ask, but what does your setup look like? I can't get him below half before I die.

Skye Marin · Dec 12, 2007, 09:25 PM // 21:25

I caught him on a tree and killed him when we was bugged and couldn't cast. They fixed the bug a week later.

Victory is mine!

Just dont get in range of his spirits and you will be fine. Lure him towards your spirits and make new ones as they recharge.
