"Did you always run from Gran Soren or do you have a Portcrystal placed at Hillfigure Knoll?"

I have a portal way up at the Manse, which was where I ported to. The Manse area is considered in the "Northface Woods", but I wasn't aware there was a Chimera near the Goblins south of the Knoll that was still considered the Manse area. The location section says

"Hillfigure Knoll in Northface Forest, will not appear if a Chimera is stalking the forest."

and I assumed that meant it HAD to be in the Northface Forest area, but I guess assumptions make an ass out of you so, my bad.

"As I understand it there can be either a cyclops (on road east of knoll), a chimera (near camp), or a griffin.. - if either of the first two is present the Griffin won't be there.." That's something I hadn't thought of. I'll sprint around and give it another few days of murdering those instead to see if that fixes my issue.

"Live bait also works - tempting targets for Griffins are the usually poorly armored humans that seek the Arisen's protection in Escort Quests."

I considered that as well and think that's probably a good thing to try. I'll make a not and give it a shot later.

As an aside, it's not that I don't think it's possible, just that I can't get it to happen. Le shrug. I'll probably have time to try it today, perhaps.
