Accessing Archgriffin Acid

Track this fabled beast to a partly wooded area north of Crows’ Perch, and just north of the Wolven Glade marker. Find the road through the northern part of the woods, usually where a group of bandits are hanging out. Introduce them to the sharp end of your sword, before inspecting the area with your Witcher Senses tingling:

• There’s evidence of bloody body parts and claw prints by the road.
• An archgriffin feather is found on the hillside pasture, roughly north, as you exit the edge of the woods.

The nest itself is at the top of the hillock, and after a lengthy wing-clipping, you should bring this beast down with a thud and cut out the necessary ingredients for Yoana.

Now you have the acid gland, be sure you cut off the griffin’s head (the trophy), and return it to the Baron’s quartermaster, who sells his wares on the left side of the archway within Crow’s Perch, opposite Fergus and Yoana. He has a reward of crowns for proving you slew the archgriffin. The Contract part of this quest now concludes.
