There's a very nice way to almost not get hit at all while fighting a griffin if you're in a good spot and can do ranged attacks. First, scorch the wings a few times to make sure it can't fly. Hopefully there are some raised spots around (like the ruins around Grand Soren, but any high enough ledge will do). After that, gain aggro. The griffin should try and just walk toward you as if it's getting close to do an attack. However, the ledge will block the advance of the griffin so it will just keep walking toward you without actualy moving. If you're fairly high up, it'll just stand there and shake itself a bit over and over again. This allows for an easy kill since it won't try to attack you. Oddly enough though, your pawns don't know how to react to this and so won't attack the griffin often if at all. Even yelling "Go!" multiple times just makes them kind of wander around.

Pros: can easily kill the griffin with little health damage.

Cons: Has to be in the right location, and will take a while if you don't have good damage.
