The Witcher 3 Griffin School gear: standard diagrams and Lornruk

Find six standard Griffin diagrams at Hindhold, Lornruk and Dragonslayer’s Grotto, including the underwater entrance around the raised bridge.

Three stops for the standard set

Hindhold has the steel sword, Lornruk the silver sword, and Dragonslayer’s Grotto the four armor diagrams. The raised Lornruk bridge is bypassed through an underwater cave entrance.

Legacy base-game hunt, not an enhanced or grandmaster set route. Enemy balance and exact new-build performance were not tested here.

Choose the piece you are missing

StopRoute checkpoint
HindholdClimb to the harpy area, enter through the wooden door and loot the skeleton for the steel diagram.
LornrukUse the underwater entrance near the Place of Power, climb inside, then find the silver-diagram chest near the ladder above the door.
Dragonslayer’s GrottoClear wraiths, walls and gas, then the ekimmara; the armor diagrams are in the final chest.

Do not keep jumping at the bridge

Scout the water and cave entrance below instead. Preserve enough breath and health for the dive and the climb. The wyvern and underwater enemies are separate hazards; a visible tower does not make an underlevelled fight safe. Once inside, search around the upper ladder rather than only the bottom chambers.

If the marker points into rock, compare its elevation and your approach. A correct underground marker can look inaccessible from the surface.

Confirm the complete set

Read George’s documents to add the other locations, then compare the six standard diagrams in your crafting list. Looting documents or unrelated swords alone does not prove the diagram chest was collected. The four armor slots are armor, gauntlets, trousers and boots.

Check recipe tier, craftsman type and missing materials before spending on crafting. Yoana’s unlock is relevant for master armor service, not a prerequisite invented for every standard diagram. Remastered’s Reforge is a separate appearance choice.
