Where is Forested Griffin’s Nest?
The nest is at the southern side of the Misty Marshes. Use Vernworth and Checkpoint Rest Town to orient yourself: it lies west of Vernworth and northeast of Checkpoint Rest Town. Gamer Guides lists the location at X: 6557, Y: 5330; treat these as that guide’s map coordinates, not as confirmed in-game coordinates. Gamer Guides’ location listing and Game8’s Griffin locations guide both place it by the marsh.

How do you reach the nest?
Published route guidance gives two ways into the area from around Checkpoint Rest Town. The sources do not establish which is shorter or easier, and do not provide turn-by-turn directions.
| Approach | Route described |
|---|---|
| Ancient Battlegrounds | Travel through Ancient Battlegrounds, north of Checkpoint Rest Town. |
| Strange Corridor cave | Take the cave east of Checkpoint Rest Town. |
These alternatives are described by PC Gamer’s Portcrystal guide. No definitive quest prerequisite is established in the location guidance.

What to expect at the nest
Expect a Griffin at the location. Game8’s general Griffin advice identifies fire as an elemental weakness and the head and wings as weak points; these are general enemy notes, not a guarantee about every encounter state. Game8’s Griffin guide covers the encounter and weaknesses.
