Griffins are one of the most feared creatures in Rune Factory 5, but with a little bit of preparation and patience, you can tame these ferocious birds and use them to help you in your quest. Here are some tips on how to get started:

  1. Start by finding a griffin nest. Griffins will only lay eggs if they feel safe and secure, so finding their nest is a good way to start. Once you find the nest, talk to the griffin parents and offer them food in order to make them trust you.
  2. Once the griffins trust you, it’s time to start training them. Feed them small pieces of meat every few hours so that they will become used to your presence and learn to obey your commands. Make sure not to overfeed them or they will become obese and difficult to control.
  3. Once the griffins are trained, it’s time for the real challenge: taming them! To do this, equip yourself with a Capture Ring and approach the griffin from behind while holding out your hand. The griffin will likely resist at first, but keep offering food until it finally submits and allows you to capture it. ..

There are 5 monsters in the Griffin family:

Griffin Ice Griffin Flame Griffin Hippogriff Killer Griffin

What you’ll need to tame any kind of Griffin is:

Bird’s Feather or Strong Talon Enough space in your Monster Barns

Fortunately, like most non-boss monsters, Griffins drop their favorite taming items.

Each type of Griffin has their own unique color palette that you can see in the following images.

Griffin-type Monsters Locations

1. Griffin

Regular Griffins are the most widespread among their family, and can be found at these 3 different locations:

Phoros Woodlands Lake Yumina Belpha Ruins: Depths

There are 2 good locations with a Gate that spawns only Griffins.

The first location is at Belpha Ruins: Depths B4 where only a single Griffin spawns each time.

The second location is in the Northern area of Phoros Woodlands where multiple Griffins spawn.

2. Ice Griffin

Ice Griffins are one of the first types of Griffins that you can encounter.

They can be found at:

Lake Yumina Meline Crystal Caverns – Depths

If you look at the map below, you’ll see 2 recommended locations for Ice Griffins.

The area circled in red has a solitary Ice Griffin that is only at level 17. This would be a great monster companion that you can tame early in the game.

Otherwise, the area circled in blue has multiple Ice Griffins at level 45.

3. Flame Griffin

Flame Griffins can be found around mid-game after you’ve unlocked the Depths of Kelve Lava Cave.

4. Hippogriff

Hippogriffs can be found in the Western side of Gadeus Grasslands.

There are 2 Gates near each other that spawn Hippogriffs:

The Westernmost gate spawns both Hippogriffs and Ducks The other gate is a moving gate that spawns only Hippogriffs

5. Killer Griffin

The Killer Griffin is a special spawn that appears only during Starfall nights.

Tip: It’s recommended to farm the Killer Griffin for Mealy Apples using your Spell Seal. Make sure you save before defeating the Killer Griffin because only one will spawn for that Starfall event.
