Objectives
1	・Exit the Castle Area There is only one target to defeat in this Side Mission called the Griffon Queen. From where you spawn, head straight down the stairs and open the door, where you'll encounter several Wolves on the other side. Once they're taken care of, head through the open door to the left of where you exit from the previous area.
2	・Navigate Through the Tower Area In this new area, proceed through the open door on the right and navigate your way past the fallen pillars – open the door at the end. The level is linear from here on out, so move forward down the pathways until you reach a darkened tower area. Move to the door on the left and open it, then move down the hall until you reach a balcony overlooking the Griffon Queen.
3	・Defeat the Griffon Queen From the balcony, move down the stairs down the left until you reach the bottom area where the Griffon Queen is. Several Bombs will be nearby along with Wolves. Destroy them all to finish the Side Mission.

Tips and Strategies

Defeat the Regular Enemies First

In the fight area against the Griffon Queen, you will be presented with several regular enemies in the form of Leech Bats, Bombs, and several Wolves. To simplify the fight, take care of the Bombs first, before moving on to the Leech Bats and then the Wolves.

Not defeating these enemies before moving on to the Griffon Queen will complicate things, as these enemies, particularly the Leech Bats and Bombs, have attacks that can stun the player and leave them vulnerable to the powerful attacks from the Griffon.
