Cannot find Griffon for Winged Reaver quest
Can any assist with information on this quest? The Griffon is supposed to be in the Hillfigure Knoll vicinity but I have yet to spot it.

Like many other quests, it is not nececssary to specifically slay the Griffin at Hillfigure Knoll. Any slain Griffin will complete this quest. Completing the main story quest Griffin's Bane will also complete this quest.

They show up (or don't) depending on where you are in the main questline. If you haven't done the quest Griffin's Bane yet, then there are no Griffins at all. If you have already done the quest Final Battle, then the only Griffin in the game is at the Highfigure Knoll.

However, they share a spawn timer with some other beasties. So if there is a cyclops wandering along the road south of the Knoll or a Chimera in the forest to the west, then your griffin won't show up. Complicated, right??

I wrote a a help/tip thread on this here that might help.
I get plenty of Cyclops and Chimaeras.

If they are both there then, according to the wiki, you need to kill the chimera and come back the next day.

Lots of people struggle with griffins but you can overcome it. Are you luring them with corpses? You can also use shield summons. The best thing I've found is to make sure I have a port stone next to their spawn point. Save when you port in and reload until you get their attention and your kill.
Thank you for the tips.

I am fairly late to this game and this topic.. but ran into the same problem.. killed the biggies near Hilltop several times.. no Griffin. This was after I had done the main Griffin quest so I couldn't use him.

So I moved onto other quests and eventually I was leaving Gran Soren to head to the Catacombs and a Griffin showed up.. at night while I was fighting undead and bandits.

Your hands must be sore with all that digging... Maybe... Put the shovel down?
