Walkthrough
Vesemir will ask you if you are ready to fight the Griffin. Unless there was something else you wanted to do before the battle, tell Vesemir that you are ready.
A Thunderbolt Potion should prove useful. The game will prompt you to brew some of those.
Dialog
Vesemir: Hm hm. Fine. If everything's ready, say the word and we'll get to work.
Geralt: I'm ready. No point in waiting. Let's find a good spot to ambush it.
Vesemir: Picked one out already. Other side of the stream - there's fields and a grove. Plenty of room and far enough so no one will get in our way.
Geralt: Good. Meet you there.
