The Titan Quest 2 Gryphon is the first boss you will encounter. It’s a ferocious beast that uses several aggressive attacks. It is part of the Queen Of The Mountain main storyline
Let’s see what you must do to bring down Apollonia the Terrible!
Titan Quest 2 Gryphon Attacks and Strategy
The boss employs several attack patterns. Once you learn these combos and how to deal with them, the fight becomes considerably easier. Keep in mind that it’s best to dodge an attack to avoid damage, rather than to land a hit that might put you in a vulnerable position.
Attack Patterns
Triple Melee Attack
The sequence includes a melee attack from the right, a melee attack from the left, and a claw lunge. Move away from the boss and stick to the sides to avoid it.
AOE Attack
Watch out for the blue dot, as this signifies the start of this attack. Pay attention to the indicator to see where the boss will land. The boss leaps in the air and then lands, inflicting AOE damage. Wait for the leap and then dodge the attack.
Aerial Blast
The boss blasts three waves of air towards the player. This happens twice. A single air wave follows this attack. Stand between the waves to avoid the first part and then dodge to avoid the third.
Apollonia the Terrible Attack Strategy
The Gryphon resists all elemental damage, except Lightning. You will want to use Bleed and Poison for damage over time. Melee players should keep moving at all times. Skills such as Whirlwind come in handy for this fight. Don’t use heavy attacks, as they take time to charge. The safest strategy is to use quick attacks and run away from the boss to avoid its attacks.
Ranged players might be tempted far away from the boss, but this will cause the beast to use Aerial Blast multiple times. These attacks can quickly overwhelm you. Don’t forget that you can absorb this attack with Barrier. Aim to stay mid-range and be quick.
