⚔️ The Griffin armor diagrams are in Velen.⚔️ It has a level 11 requirement.⚔️ You'll have to fight wraiths, endrega, an ekimmara, and a wyvern to get them.⚔️ The upgrade diagram locations come from buying Edwin Greloff's maps at the Midcopse blacksmith, the Hierarch Square armorer, and Éibhear Hattori, once you complete Of Swords and Dumplings.
The Griffin armor is a medium witcher gear set mainly focused around buffing the power of your signs, but also turning your Yrden into an AoE that reduces the damage you take, and further increases sign intensity when you're in it. There are four armor pieces, two swords, but no crossbow.
The diagrams to forge the basic Griffin witcher armor are located in Dragonslayer's Grotto in east Velen, to the northwest of Downwarren. The video above shows the route through this ruin, but otherwise:
Forge it at Crow's Perch, Novigrad, or Kaer Trolde's armorers.
Read Witcher George's Journal, also in the chest, to get the location of the Griffin Silver Sword and the Griffin Steel Sword, both of which are also in the Velen region. Remember, there is no crossbow in this set.
In Hindhold watchtower in north Velen, directly east of the Border Post. Be prepared to fight endrega workers and warriors.
In Lornruk lighthouse in west Velen, north of Heatherton. There's a wyvern nesting and you'll have to enter underwater via a cave with drowners.
Once you've crafted the basic armor, you can upgrade it to enhanced, superior, and mastercrafted by finding the relevant diagrams.
