How to Find the Griffin Gauntlets
The diagrams for the Griffin Armor, Gauntlets, Trousers, and Boots are all located within the Dragonslayer's Grotto, which is found in a cave just to the West of both Reardon Manor and the village of Downwarren.
Upon entering the cave you'll be set upon by several level 7 Wraiths that inhabit the caves. Use the Yrden Sign to lure them into a physical form to defeat them. A side passage on the right holds more treasures, but your main goal lies straight ahead. When you come to a dead end, look for a crack in the wall on the left to destroy with the Aard sign.
Beware the next area, as it is full of flammable poison gas. Use Aard or Igni to disperse it temporarily, and lure the remaining Wraiths back into the corridor to defeat them. The final chamber holds the prize, as well as an intimidating level 14 Ekimmara. This vampiric enemy will try to cloak itself for a sneak attack. Counter this by lighting them up with an Igni, or use of the Devil's Puffball bomb. Defeat it, and the whole armor set is yours for the taking.
