Griffith Base Unit Acquisition

To obtain the base Griffith unit, players need to farm Underworld Dimension Portals. These portals can be found in two specific locations: the Sacrificial Realm Infinite Mode and the Lost Castle Infinite Mode, both accessible in World One. As you progress through the portal tiers, your ultimate goal is to secure a Seeker Portal, which provides the opportunity to obtain the base Griffith unit.
Once you have the base unit, the initial evolution requires a King Egg. This evolution item can be obtained through two methods: crafting it using Spirit Shards or finding it as a rare drop from the dimension portals.
Focus on clearing portal tiers efficiently to reach Seeker Portals faster. Stockpile Spirit Shards during your runs so you can craft the King Egg as a backup method if the rare portal drop doesn't favor you.
| Item | Source | Drop Method |
|---|---|---|
| Base Griffith Unit | Seeker Portal (Underworld Dimension) | Farm portal tiers in Sacrificial Realm or Lost Castle Infinite |
| King Egg | Portal Drop / Crafting | Rare drop from portals or crafted using Spirit Shards |
| Spirit Shards | Portal Runs | Collected throughout Underworld Dimension runs |
Starting the Secret Questline
Unlike standard unit evolutions, the next phase of Griffith's progression does not use a normal evolution button. Instead, players must locate a hidden NPC and initiate a multi-step questline that spans several game modes and requires specific rare items.
The questline NPC is concealed behind a rock near the enchanting area that surrounds the spawn point. When you first interact with this NPC, he will request an Eclipse Seed, which serves as the entry item for the entire secret questline.
If you farm for an extended period without receiving the Eclipse Seed, check your game settings. You may have accidentally disabled item drop pop-up notifications, causing you to miss the acquisition alert.
Eclipse Seed Farming Strategy
The Eclipse Seed is a rare item obtained by defeating bosses with the Dark element. The most reliable method to farm this item is by running any Infinite Mode that features dark element enemies. You should eventually receive a pop-up notification confirming that you have obtained the Eclipse Seed.
| Requirement | Details | Best Method |
|---|---|---|
| Eclipse Seed | Rare drop from dark element bosses | Farm any Infinite Mode with dark enemies |
| Quest NPC Location | Behind a rock near enchanting area | Surrounds the spawn point |
| Pop-Up Alert | Confirms Eclipse Seed acquisition | Check settings if not appearing |
Mid-Tier Evolution Requirements
After obtaining the Eclipse Seed and returning to the questline NPC, your Griffith unit will gain access to a new evolution button. This mid-tier evolution requires materials from the new Legend Stage, specifically from Act 2 and beyond.
The special evolution item drops exclusively from Act 2 of the new Legend Stage. Essences needed for the evolution can drop from any act, giving you multiple opportunities to stockpile them during your runs.
The most time-consuming component of this evolution is the special item from Act 2. Using the new stage info feature, you can check whether the item is available before reaching pity, allowing you to plan your farming sessions more effectively.
Return to Quest NPC with Eclipse Seed
After obtaining the Eclipse Seed from dark element bosses, speak to the hidden NPC behind the rock near the enchanting area. He will acknowledge your progress and unlock the evolution button on your Griffith unit.
Farm Act 2 Special Item
Enter the new Legend Stage and focus on Act 2 to obtain the special evolution item. This is the most time-consuming requirement, so use the stage info feature to check availability before committing to extended farming sessions.
Collect Essences from Any Act
While farming for the special item, you will also accumulate essences that drop from any act of the Legend Stage. These are needed alongside the special item to complete the evolution.
Evolve Griffith
Once you have both the special item from Act 2 and the required essences, use the evolution button on your Griffith unit to complete this stage of the questline.
| Evolution Material | Source | Farming Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Act 2 Special Item | Legend Stage Act 2 | Hard - Time-consuming, check stage info |
| Essences | Any Act of Legend Stage | Moderate - Drops across all acts |
| Eclipse Seed | Dark element boss kills | Moderate - Farm infinite dark modes |
Egg of the King and Dark Mode Transformation
Upon completing the mid-tier evolution, return to the questline NPC to receive an item called the Egg of the King. While this item does not appear to have a direct functional use in the evolution process, it serves as a trigger that initiates the final and most complex phase of the Griffith questline.
The Dark Mode transformation requires you to sacrifice units worth 10 million cash during a single infinite run. Plan your unit placement and economy strategy carefully to reach this threshold before the run ends.
Activating Dark Mode
To trigger the Dark Mode transformation, take your newly evolved Griffith into an Infinite Mode run. During the match, you must fill his passive bar by sacrificing units that are collectively worth 10 million cash. Once the bar is full, Griffith will immediately transform into Dark Mode.
You can verify that the transformation was successful by restarting the match and checking whether his passive has changed. Upon returning to the questline NPC after completing this step, he will confirm that you have finished the entire questline.
