Talk:Griffin's Bane/@comment-69.163.5.206-20161230225749/@comment-5847779-20161231154303

It saves before going into the tower as a checkpoint. Perhaps there is a checkpoint save right when you go through the door and get onto the walkway. Well since you only get 1 normal save and 1 checkpoint save. When you reload the game you will get the most recent of the two.

It's common for Pawns to die here when the Griffin makes that big hole in the ground. Then it's also common for pawns to die when you have to run away when the Griffin destroys the rest of the walkway. I just played this recently and my main pawn died. I went ahead anyway. Sure they will miss out on XP, but when your main pawn is lacking XP they will gain ~15% more XP until they catch up with you.
