If you want to upgrade your gear to its max level in The Witcher 3, then you need Blood and Wine for the Master Master Master Master! quest. With this quest, you can hunt down all six pieces of Grandmaster Griffin Gear in The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine, and we've got their locations pinned below, along with their stats and material requirements so you know exactly how to get them and how they perform against monsters and man alike!
Scavenger Hunt: Grandmaster Griffin Gear Locations
#1-3 Grandmaster Griffin Gauntlets, Boots, and Steel Sword Locations
You can find the Grandmaster Griffin Gauntlets, Boots, and the Steel Sword Diagrams together. Head to Fort Ussar Ruins, where you will find two slyzards to slay. Kill them, and then head to the eastern side of the ruins to find stairs and a hidden chest beneath them. Inside the chest are the three Diagrams mentioned above, and Captain Augustus Fierabras' Report, which you must read for the next location.
#4-6 Grandmaster Griffin Armor, Trousers, and Silver Sword Locations
Northwest of Fort Ussar Ruins is Mont Crane Castle, which is a Hanse Camp. You can expect to fight over 20 bandits here, so come prepared for a massive fight. Fight them (or ignore them) and head to the center of the marker to use The Eye of Nehaleni, which you obtained many quests ago with Keira Metz in the base game.
Dispel the illusion to reveal a hidden area, and you'll find a workshop with a power crystal on one of the tables. Pick it up and head to the archway in the middle of the workshop to find a hidden button with your Witcher Senses, which reveals a new area.
Place the power crystal in its slot, and then use Aard on it to activate a portal. Inside is a Golem, so watch out! You will then want to grab the Grandmaster Griffin Trousers Diagram from a sack by the chair, then the Grandmaster Griffin Armor Diagram from a tiny box on a shelf, and finally, the Grandmaster Griffin Silver Sword Diagram on the table.
