Recruiting Griffins... did I hallucinate?
 

Hi all,

started playing the game yesterday, haven't really gotten that far yet. Level 6 mage I believe, have done most in the initial map, and explored a bit in the swamp and Arlania.

The question: I am fairly convinced that at some point I visited a house or trader where I could recruit Griffins. However, my army was full at that time. Since then I've been trying to recall where it was, have searched through the map over and over but I just can't find it. Are some locations offering random units or do I simply keep on missing the right location in my search?

Anybody who knows?
Cheers

You can buy Griffins from the castle near the entrance to Arlania. :cool:

I love them due to their huge movement. They need to be used wisely though because they get killed rather easily.

I haven't started a new game yet, I thought it was supposed to randomize with each different character?

I'll have a look. Odd I couldn't find the place back :confused:
(you mean the castle is within the initial map, right? I haven't beaten the units guarding the blue tent yet, btw)


*edit*
What castle near the entrance to Arlania?!
Do you actually mean that blue tent? Other than that, I don't even see any castle?

I think he meant the castle in Arlania map. You will see it as you enter Arlania.

Ah ok. Well that's the one I vaguely recalled being the place. Castle Netvill. But he only has dragonflies, swordsmen and bears :(

you can also go to the island full Griffins, they have eggs you can hatch as well as being neutral troops. Its off the cost of Arlania

What troops are in what castle or settlement is randomized each game.

And once you finish the quest for the king of Griffins you can recruit the creatures from him and also buy some eggs (portable recruiting items FTW!).

More griffins?
 

I need more griffins for my army. I've exhausted Argus' castle and Captain Hook's Tavern. Anyone know where I can find more? Preferably without stealing their eggs, I mean... :)

Edit: Sorry, I see this was answered in another sub-forum. I guess I'll have to build up the courage to do that griffin quest. :)

Edit 2: I see my post was moved to this thread, so now it looks extra silly. I'll try to be more useful in the future. :)
