GW2 Griffon Mount Collections Guide
A guide to unlock the Griffon mount in Path of Fire.
Contents
Getting Started
To start with this collection, you will need to finish the main storyline for Path of Fire. You will also need a springer mount with High Vault (Mastery Rank 3) ability. Also be prepared with 250 gold as you will need it for completing the collection (each map has two vendor items required for the collection that costs 25g each).
Start from the Vehtendi Academy Waypoint in the Domain of Vabbi which is in the SE area of the map and follow the path. You will eventually see a Jackal portal. If you have the Jackal Mastery Rank 3 ability, use it to shortcut to the other side. Otherwise jump down and use springer high vault to make it to the safe bubble on the other side.
From that safe bubble, scale up the wall with your springer and make it to the vista and the safe bubble up top. You should be in the plateau area now and make your way to Remains of the Last Spearmarshal to start the collection. He will give you Spearmarshal’s Plea, which can be used later to teleport back to his remains.

Gundayo, the Rune of Honesty
You need to catch the Corrupted Facet legendary bounty which spawns NE of the map near the Teratohedron. You can just camp the bounty boards in Destiny’s Gorge and hope he pops up soon. The rune will be inside the event reward pop up chest.
Icon of the Goddess
Purchased from Priest Hakim who is the heart vendor by Temple of Kormir Waypoint. This item costs 25g.
Sunspear Tithe
Purchased from Priestess Karima who is the heart vendor east of Amnoon. This item costs 25g.
Warmed Coastal Griffon Egg
This Griffon egg is on top of a very high rock/cliff not too far from entrance to Desert Highlands. You can get up with springer mount High Vault ability. This is a griffon roost so you can ride the griffon to the next egg location.
Browned Crystal Griffon Egg
You can fly to here from Warmed Coastal Griffon Egg using the griffon or just glide here.It is on top of a mesa overlooking Hatari Tablelands.
Lustrous Coastal Griffon Egg
You can find this egg atop the Teratohedron which is in the Maculate Fringe area. When you arrive at the bottom of the Teratohedron, follow the slanted pathway up that is filled with branded lightning strikes. Go all the way up until you are at the hero point. From the hero point, use your springer mount to jump on top of this little rock right above it.
Then from that little rock, you are going to use the springer to get to the bigger rock that is just across and slightly above. This should put you in a position where you can see the griffon nest. Make one more jump use your springer to reach the nest.
Dusty Coastal Griffon Egg
There are a couple ways to reach this egg. You can either enter the Sanctum of Nabkha area and just use Springer High Vault to climb the rocks near the mastery insight to get you high enough to glide over to the giant floating platform. Alternatively, you can go back to the griffon roost for warmed egg and just fly across to here, which is my favourite method. The eggs are located on a tall pillar which you can get to by using the springer jump from lower pillars.
Ridged Coastal Griffon Egg
Go back to the Griffon roost for warmed egg and just simply drop down on the south side of it until you see a Cliffside opening below with a nest.

You need to kill the elites in this instance for keys to unlock the chests that contains the pages.

I will constantly be referencing to it.

Outer ring ground floor, this is opposite of the balcony above the hidden room.

This is on the outer ring ground floor. For reference, use the tiled bookshelves here in the background. I also included a picture of looking towards the center of the room with chest behind you.
Writings of the Last Spearmarshal Vol 4
On the ground level of the outer ring. If we use facing the balcony above the underwater hidden room entrance as a reference and you are looking at it, this cache is to the left of it. One of the pillars is part of the titled bookshelves.

Using the balcony above the underwater hidden room entrance as a reference, this chest is left of it on a spiral staircase on the ground floor outer ring.

This guy goes immune every 25% HP so to break his immunity shield talk to one of the griffons and ride it. Then run up next to his shield and use the #1 griffon attack on him to break his shield.
Once the boss is dead, you will be rewarded with the Griffon mount.
