Griffins Mounts and Armies
This mod adds GRIFFINS in Skyrim (No DLC Required)
Optional File: Esp Version Française pour la version 1.1 (les rares notifications contenues dans les scripts et qui apparaissent à l’écran, en haut à gauche, n’ont pas été traduites)
This mod is a Standalone Mod with the SAME Griffins as in my mod Ravens and Co – Mounts and Followers (But NO Ravens, NO Avians)
* “Griffins are legendary creatures with the tail, backlegs, and body of a lion, with the head, wings, and front feet of a eagle. The weird shape was to signify it as the king of birds, and the king of lions, and because of their legendary superiority Griffins are usually seen guarding great legendary treasures of ancient Greece”
RIDEABLE GRIFFIN
To have the Summonable Griffin you must buy the “Spell tome: Conjure Griffin” at Farengar Secret-Fire in Dragonsreach (Whiterun) or with an other “Spell Vendor” (ex: Sybille Stentor in the Blue Palace in Solitude).
With the book you have the spell….Then summon the Griffin…
(If you have not bought a book/spell, NO PROBLEM, you can always put again this mod at the bottom of the list in the Data Files when you launch the game… buy the books, etc..)
The Griffin will appear above you…
Controls
You can head in any direction (turn left or right, up and down) with the Mouse (Look up and look down to steer up and down)
and
W (or Z): forward
A (or Q): turn left
D: turn right
You can summon your Griffin again when you have received the message “Dragon has returned”.
(The Griffin will not disappear unless you mount it ride it and dismount it)
The Griffin do not help the player in combat and is supposed to be used as transport only
This mount contains a lot of bugs or problems (The legs tremble when you go up in altitude; You can be stuck on a tree) Save before taking a ride
Sometimes you have to be patient to mount on the Griffin (If you are unable to ride the Griffin, you must go away from him and then return to him)
To dismount, you must land, and you have to wait to be well “IN” the ground, then “E”…
If your Griffin refuses to fly again (to return at “home” !) when landing you can try a FAST TRAVEL
ARMIES OF GRIFFINS
This mod adds the ability to quickly incubate eggs with the fire of the forge, and quickly create a horde of GRIFFINS (5, 15, 50, MORE ? …ATTENTION with the freezes in your computer !)
To obtain these eggs, simply bring the “Griffin Egg” (or “Little Griffon Egg”) found with some merchants in WHITERUN (Merchants: Arcadia of Arcadia’s Cauldron, Anoriath, Hulda of the Bannered Mare) to a forge and create the “Incubated Griffin Egg” (or “Incubated Little Griffon Egg”) in the “misc” section. Now open up your inventory, navigate to “Scrolls” and there they are. You throw them and when they hit the ground they hatch into Griffins
When your creatures die, remember to loot their corpses for more eggs
DRACO GRIFFON MOUNT and COMPANIONS
2 terrible Draco Griffon keep the statue of the God Griffon on the path between the Western WatchTower and Whiterun !
You have also an Enormous Summonable Mount (you must buy the book/spell at Farengar…)
You can only have one follower at a time: if you want a different one, you need to dismiss the first one before you recruit them.
If you have any problem with the dialog box, or if telling the follower to return at home doesn’t dismiss him, or if you have lost the active follower, you can try this:
Type “²” or “`” or “~” key to get into console, and type:
set playeranimalcount to 0
With Amazing Follower Tweaks , or other mod with followers, if problem to dismiss the followers, you can uncheck this mod (AFT or other) when you launch the game
If problem with the Dialog Box of the followers/ companions (Wait – Follow – Trade – Favor – Dismiss) you can also enter / exit a house or make a fast travel
