Griffon Profile
Griffon is perhaps the easiest boss in the game, although don’t take him lightly. On the higher difficulties he can pose a challenge, but fortunately he seems to become less of a threat with every encounter. He likes to use his ranged attacks to his advantage - he will almost always attack from afar with his electrical based attacks. Every so often he will charge you and attempt to peck you with his massive beak when he gets close enough; this is your cue to hack away at his exposed chest which should disorientate him and make him collapse on the ground for a few brief seconds allowing you to get a few extra hits in with your new Ifrit toy.

Griffon’s strategies stay pretty similar with every encounter too and as you progress he will learn a few new techniques but they still all revolve around lightning attacks from a distance. Almost all his long range attacks consist of some form of electricity and aren’t all that difficult to evade and after a while you begin to associate the attacks he’s about to use with his posture, allowing you to predict his next move. Your best bet is to go with the flow; your dual pistols do a decent job from afar but won’t be enough to finish him off alone. When he enters your vicinity just let rip with your Alastor and unleash your devil trigger whenever the opportunity arises.
