Portions of this guide have been taken from multiple sources (references at the end) and organized into a single comprehensive guide/list in order gain access to the griffon.

Before I begin this guide my In game name is Njordr.7632 if you have any questions PM me in game and I will get back to you with any questions you have. This includes requests for guides or unrelated questions. Good luck.

in order to complete this you will need to purchase 10 items in total. Each item costs 25 Gold coin, for a total of 250 Gold coin to unlock the mount. these items will only be available after completing the heart quest during your current session for access to the shop keeper. You will also need to be Done with the Path of fire story line.


At the conclusion of the Path of fire story, you will begin finding items such as Strange Pellet of Bones and Fur, Strange Droppings, and Strange Feathers. These will direct you to the illustrious Beastmaster Ghazal
who will politely direct you to his assistant Seeker Kandake To reach Seeker Kandake, we can start from Vehtendi Academy Waypoint and move southeast toward Vehtendi Vineyard, turning east before reaching the vineyard. The path continues through a brandstorm, the Fury of the Brand lightning strikes can be negated by riding a skimmer. Following the path, players will reach a jackal portal. Quickly switching from skimmer to jackal to avoid the lightning and taking the portal will take players right to Kandake on Spearmarshal's Lament.

However it can be noted that this is possible without a Jackal though much MUCH more difficult. it is also feasible to use a friend teleport to this location or, more preferably the next location below.
After talking to Kandake, players can mount on a springer and reach the ledge right above her. Slightly to the left is a jackal portal (the one high above, not the one at the bottom near the mastery point. If players fall down they can climb back up with a springer). Players should dismount their springer, await a small break from the brandstorm, mount their jackal, and take this jackal portal to enter the Yahnur Plateau, which is safe from the brandstorm. From the plateau, players can mount on their springer and jump to reach the Sunspear Sanctuary.

Once here you can talk with the corpse to start the open Skies collections. you will also receive a Teleport to avoid the hassel of going through the void storm or whatever they call it.

To begin we will start with the Domain of Vabbi as you are already here and, hopefully ready to start. bear in mind that at the corpse you can mount a griffon for free and use it as long as you do not dismount. this will be needed to collect several items in the next couple collections.


To get this item you must complete a event "Help First Spear Kitur recover his equipment and escape imprisonment" Location below.
Kitur will wander around and have to find seven items that include his armor and sword. He will have a speech after getting each piece making this a long event to have to repeat. It can be difficult to find as it is hidden behind a semi open bookcase door in a library below the main atrium

Keep track of Kitur during the event to make sure he does not die. The groups of mobs should not be difficult to solo but the final Veteran will be at the end of a long hallway and constantly spam attack waves that have to be jumped over in rapid succession. Being hit a wave will stun your character and prevent them from jumping so they will be hit by the successive following waves, effectively stun-locking your character and making it impossible to do anything. The hallway is too long to push the way down through the waves and you will be continually taking damage. With a group of players, there is a better chance that one will be able to get through to the end of the hallway and past the spammed wave attacks and from there they can hit the Veteran without being constantly stun-locked.

To get this item you must complete "Aid the Awakened in the Vehjin Mines" heart-quest and purchase it for 25 gold

Dont try and loot the chest the fairies will beat your ass.

This one requires you to complete a Legendary bounty. in order to start it you must go to Destiny's Gorge bounty board and accept the Legendary bounty the "Legendary Corrupted Facet" if, however for some reason it is not on the list all Legendary bounties reappear on the bounty board 30 minutes after the bounty has retreated or has been defeated. meaning you just have to wait a bit.

It's not directly at the top. and it is 100% feasible to do this without the Jackal.

This collection will have you go back to the library from the path of fire questline.

After finishing the Open Skies collection achievement for all five crystal desert maps, use your Spearmarshal's Plea to return to the Remains of the Last Spearmarshal and begin placing down all the eggs and runes by interacting with the placeable icons. This will complete the Sunspear Sanctuary collection and start the Sunspear Wisdom collection.

After receiving the Divine Passage, head to the Tomb of the Primeval Kings (an invisible intyeractble thing opens the portal you pretty much have to hug the wall) and reopen the portal by interacting with the tear in reality at the back of the chamber. This will return you to Kormir's library. Once inside, you will need to kill elites with the Key Hoarder effect to obtain Kormir's Library Key. A key is consumed upon opening a Cache of Sunspear Wisdom to retrieve a volume so 10 keys are required in total. Progress is saved if the instance is left

• Writings of the Last Spearmarshal, Vol. 1 Scale the lone staircase to the left of the portal (Stairs 2) and follow the outside of the platform counterclockwise.
  
• Writings of the Last Spearmarshal, Vol. 2 Along the outer wall on the ground floor. Opposite to the hidden area of the library.
  
• Writings of the Last Spearmarshal, Vol. 3 Follow the wide path to the left of the portal and turn clockwise at the outer ring to see this chest.
  
• Writings of the Last Spearmarshal, Vol. 4 Directly in front of the portal on the outer wall.
  
• Writings of the Last Spearmarshal, Vol. 5 Follow the outer wall counter clockwise from the hidden library.
  
• Writings of the Last Spearmarshal, Vol. 6 In a corner directly clockwise from the hidden library.
  
• Writings of the Last Spearmarshal, Vol. 7 Scale the lone staircase to the left of the portal (Stairs 2) and follow the inside of the platform clockwise.
  
• Writings of the Last Spearmarshal, Vol. 8 Scale one of the two double helix staircases directly in front of the portal (Stairs 3). Follow the long sloped path at the end of one to this chest
  
• Writings of the Last Spearmarshal, Vol. 9 Jump up to the ledge on the ground floor outside the hidden library.
  
• Writings of the Last Spearmarshal, Vol. 10 Scale the staircase connected to the center platform (Stairs 1) for this chest.

Congrats go back to the stupid dead sunpsear and help her kill some random champion. it will periodically get a shield that you gotta break with the griffons attack. You gotta do this yourself party members are not allowed but after your wallet is empty from all the expensive collection items and you have collected every egg throughout the entire dessert you can finally get your griffon mount.

I would feel remiss if I did not address you all here, portions of this guide were indeed copy and pasted from several different wiki pages. Why reword something that is already said well enough already. references have been added below to all the wiki pages i used to make the above guide.

If you have any questions about something in GW2 related or. Unrelated to this guide or if you have any requests don't leave a comment PM me in game and I will message you back as soon as I can I am Njordr.7632 if you want to complain to me or throw me a coin feel free to do that as well. if you want to just talk about life or insult me I am open to those as well. Insults however will be read to my friends for our amusement. Good luck guys and I hope you find this guide satisfactory enough to get the griffon mount. and if it is not please mail me what i am missing or if you have any complications.

Here is a list of the Pages I slogged through to make this guide. Once again if you have any questions, comments. or requests please feel free to mail me in game, I am Njordr.7632
