Players will come across a range of monsters in Valisthea each with different difficulty to kill.

Defeating it will help Clive earn some Renown and Gil in return, so if you are wondering where to find Dozmare, check out this guide on the location of Griffin in Final Fantasy 16 (FF16) and how to defeat it.

How to Defeat Griffin in FF16
Dozmare is one of the most difficult-to-beat beasts you will come across in bounty hunts. It is a B-rank monster who once defeated will give you around 20 Renown & 8500 Gil in the game. Learning attack patterns and looking for room for attacks will be the key to defeating the Griffin. Listed below are the attacks he will perform while in battle:
- Lunge Attack – Dozmare will fly up and if there is no wind beneath him, he will lunge at Clive.
- AoE Attack – Dozmare will fly up and if there are lights and the wind beneath him then he will attack Clive with a wind spell and you will have to get out of the area.
- Special Attack – Dozmare will fly in circles and dive into the ground around Clive to release a field of energy.
Once you get used to the attacks it gets easier to find rooms for attack during his cooldown.
