Talk:Griffin's Bane/@comment-71.230.38.10-20131126074415

Does anybody know how to keep that one soldier just past the door in Bluemoon Tower (the one right before you get to the series of gates) alive? As soon as you walk a few steps past the door, it triggers the first Griffin cutscene in the tower, and the thing just pounces on the poor bastard and kills him in one go. I've even tried switching to sorcerer and High Boliding the damn thing (finishing the spell in the doorway then running forward to trigger the cutscene). I can nearly kill it in one shot if I'm lucky(/unlucky, since I want the thing to live long enough to lbust open the last gate for me), but I still can't keep it from killing off that one guy.

Main character's nine-starred Fighter, Strider, Mage, Sorcerer, and Assassin, and has eight-starred Ranger; no experience in Warrior, Mystic Knight, or Magick Archer as yet, though, so if there's a strategy that doesn't involve those classes or the associated augments, that'd be preferable.
