Griggs of Vinheim
Griggs of Vinheim

Description

A sorcerer from Vinheim Dragon School. He came to Lordran in search of his master, Big Hat Logan, who has departed from Vinheim in his search for knowledge.

Location

  • Lower Undead Burg
    In a locked room at the bottom of the Undead Burg. To reach the bottom the player can unlock the door (using the Residence Key) next to the dragon bridge, after the Taurus Demon boss battle. After climbing down the long ladder, keep going forward, descending the staircase where you might be attacked by two Undead Attack Dogs. After the staircase, make a U-turn to the right, then hug the left wall. You'll hear Griggs shouting for help when you're near the correct door. The door to Griggs is opened with the Residence Key. It cannot be unlocked with the Master Key, despite it unlocking several other doors that the Residence Key also unlocks. Unlock the door to rescue Griggs (talking to him here is optional).
  • Sen's Fortress
    Upon buying all spells and rings from Griggs1, when you return to the room where you find the Black Sorcerer Set, a hollowed Griggs will be there. This way you can get Griggs' drop without sinning.

Use

  • Sells basic Sorceries and Sorcery-related items only when your INT stat is at least 10 points.
  • After Logan leaves for the the Duke's Archives, he'll sell some of Logan's sorceries (Soul Spear and Homing Soulmass), effectively enabling you to get two copies of these two spells in one playthrough.

Notes

  • In the initial room where Griggs is trapped, is a body in a barrel on the right hand side with a Sorcerer Armor Set and Sorcerer's Catalyst. Be careful breaking the barrels in the room because you can hit Griggs and turn him hostile. Rolling (dodging) can be used to break scenery without hurting NPCs.

Bugs

  • If Griggs' storyline is finished and he is killed in Sen's fortress, there is a possibility that he will appear in the first room where you initially meet him but, you will not be able to speak with him. Humanity can still be drained from him, however.
  • There is also a possibility of Griggs appearing in the first room you find him in, with the same restrictions as mentioned above, if killed prematurely.
