There are 5 monsters in the Griffin family:
Griffin Ice Griffin Flame Griffin Hippogriff Killer Griffin
What you’ll need to tame any kind of Griffin is:
Bird’s Feather or Strong Talon Enough space in your Monster Barns
Fortunately, like most non-boss monsters, Griffins drop their favorite taming items. Each type of Griffin has their own unique color palette that you can see in the following images.
Griffin-type Monsters Locations
1. Griffin
Regular Griffins are the most widespread among their family, and can be found at these 3 different locations:
Phoros Woodlands Lake Yumina Belpha Ruins: Depths
There are 2 good locations with a Gate that spawns only Griffins. The first location is at Belpha Ruins: Depths B4 where only a single Griffin spawns each time. The second location is in the Northern area of Phoros Woodlands where multiple Griffins spawn.
2. Ice Griffin
Ice Griffins are one of the first types of Griffins that you can encounter. They can be found at:
Lake Yumina Meline Crystal Caverns – Depths
If you look at the map below, you’ll see 2 recommended locations for Ice Griffins. The area circled in red has a solitary Ice Griffin that is only at level 17. This would be a great monster companion that you can tame early in the game. Otherwise, the area circled in blue has multiple Ice Griffins at level 45.
3. Flame Griffin
Flame Griffins can be found around mid-game after you’ve unlocked the Depths of Kelve Lava Cave.
4. Hippogriff
Hippogriffs can be found in the Western side of Gadeus Grasslands. There are 2 Gates near each other that spawn Hippogriffs:
The Westernmost gate spawns both Hippogriffs and Ducks The other gate is a moving gate that spawns only Hippogriffs
5. Killer Griffin
The Killer Griffin is a special spawn that appears only during Starfall nights. Tip: It’s recommended to farm the Killer Griffin for Mealy Apples using your Spell Seal. Make sure you save before defeating the Killer Griffin because only one will spawn for that Starfall event.
Griffin Taming
There are a few things you should prepare before trying to tame Griffins. Every Griffin type will drop its favorite taming items, which are:
Strong Talons Bird’s Feathers
Note: Griffins don’t produce any items after being tamed.
