This guide will offer players a lot of tips, information, and the ideal tactic to kill the Gryphon in Titan Quest 2, to progress further in the Main Quest. First, let’s take a look at the Gryphon’s attack pattern.
How to Beat the Gryphon in Titan Quest 2
As mentioned before, the Gryphon is the first boss inTitan Quest 2, and players need to beat it aspart of the main quest in Proti Island. Apollonia the Terrible has anattack patternthat consists of a series of melee attacks, a lunge, and a sequence of aerial blasts that propel wind waves and cause lots of damage. Here’s a detailed list of its attack patterns and how to counter them:
For melee players, the best way to beat this boss is to circle around the boss using Whirwind (Modified Sweep skill), and bleeding it out or poisoning it in case they have weapons with +1 to Poison Damage. The Gryphon is resistant to most Elemental Damage, except Lightning, so using that is also an option, especially for hybrid builds or ranged players. Heavy attacks are a decent way to deal damage, but will leave the players exposed to the melee combo of the Boss that can chip away their life in a matter of seconds.
Ranged class playersshould be extremely careful, as Apollonia will take advantage of the distance to launch her Aerial Blast attack, spamming it until the players are dead. Use Barrier (Q) to mitigate the damage, and attempt to move away from the effective range of the attack, or stay in the middle of the air waves to avoid being damaged. Static range attackers and spellcasters are not going to have a good time fighting this boss, unless they keep attacking and moving, kiting the Gryphon and remaining vigilant of its lunges.
