Griffin Gauntlets are the basic tier of the Griffin School gauntlets, medium witcher armor from the base game. They give 27 armor at level 11, with +5% sign intensity. The diagram is next to George's tomb in Dragonslayer's Grotto in Velen. They come early in the game.

They also give +1% piercing, +2% slashing, +2% monster and +5% elemental resistance. The sign bonus suits a signs build. They are the first step of the Griffin upgrade chain, which ends at the Grandmaster tier.

Set Bonus

The Griffin set is medium armor. It has five tiers: Basic at level 11, Enhanced at 18, Superior at 26, Mastercrafted at 34 and Grandmaster at 40. The set bonuses come with the Grandmaster tier. 3 pieces: after a sign cast with stamina, the next sign within 3 seconds costs no stamina. 6 pieces: Yrden traps are 40% larger, and inside them stamina regen rises by 5/s, sign intensity by 100% and damage taken drops by 20%.

How to Get Griffin Gauntlets

  • Start Scavenger Hunt: Griffin School Gear in Velen.
  • Go to the end of Dragonslayer's Grotto, past the wraiths and an ekimmara.
  • Take the diagram next to George's tomb, with the other Griffin School armor diagrams.
  • A journeyman armorer crafts them.

Griffin Gauntlets Map Location and Quest Guide

The Griffin Gauntlets diagram sits in a chest at the far end of Dragonslayer's Grotto in Velen, the final resting place of the witcher George. The pin marks the grotto, the armor stop of Scavenger Hunt: Griffin School Gear. The same chest holds the armor, boots and trousers diagrams and Witcher George's journal.

  1. Buy Edwin Greloff's first or second map from the armorer in Midcopse to start Scavenger Hunt: Griffin School Gear. Finding any of the diagrams also starts it.
  2. Go to Dragonslayer's Grotto, drop down into the area and enter the cave.
  3. Kill the wraiths and head down the main hall.
  4. Blast the weak wall with Aard and kill the wraith behind it.
  5. Clear the toxic gas clouds in the tunnel with Igni or Aard, and fight any wraiths on the way.
  6. Prepare for a fight, then blast the rocks at the end of the tunnel. An ekimmara waits behind them.
  7. Kill the ekimmara and loot the chest with the glowing lights for the Griffin Gauntlets diagram.
