Unlock Griffith in Anime Expeditions by completing his initial questline in Crimson Shore, then farm the specialized Eclipse Infinite mode to collect the required evolution souls. Deciding between Silver Falcon (Light) and Fifth Godhand (Dark) defines your team's tactical focus: Light provides universal offensive support for existing carries, while Dark delivers scaling damage and crowd control during dense, late-game waves.

Here is the complete step-by-step breakdown on unlocking Broken Falcon, accelerating your soul farm, and choosing the right evolution path.

How to Get and Evolve Griffith

The quest begins in Crimson Shore, but your soul grinding takes place in an Eclipse-designated stage. Entering standard Infinite mode will not yield the required event currency.

Unlock Broken Falcon

1. Enter any standard Crimson Shore story act.

2. Locate the Griffith NPC marker standing near the initial spawn area.

3. Interact with the NPC and accept the quest to receive the base unit, Broken Falcon.

4. Open the quest shortcut to Eclipse Infinite, or look for the distinctive Eclipse symbol on the story-selection interface.

5. Launch the Eclipse-marked mode.

Always track the active Eclipse marker directly rather than memorizing a specific stage name. In some rotations, the marked stage appears on maps such as King's Tomb rather than Crimson Shore.

Farm the Correct Evolution Item

Decide on your evolution target before committing your runs to card selection.

Once you collect 150 matching souls:

1. Return to the Broken Falcon NPC in Crimson Shore.

2. Trade your souls for the corresponding item (Cursed Egg or Eclipse Shard).

3. Open the Upgrade → Evolve menu in the game lobby.

4. Select Broken Falcon and choose your target evolution form.

5. Verify all auxiliary materials in the evolution recipe before finalizing.

Note: Soul exchange items cover the primary requirement, but always verify lobby gold and secondary catalyst counts in your inventory before evolving.

How to Farm Eclipse Souls Faster

Maximize your souls-per-minute rate instead of chasing high-risk multipliers that prolong matches or risk wave failure.

Understand the Eclipse Progression Loop

Eclipse Infinite follows a distinct reward structure:

• Every 5 waves: Select a Redemption, Sacrifice, or Neutral card.
• Redemption / Sacrifice cards: Advance their corresponding alignment meter.
• Every 10 waves: Defeating a milestone boss grants a large bonus to your leading meter.
• At 100% meter: The alignment final boss spawns.
• Defeat the final boss: Receive your payout of matching souls.
• Select Neutral cards: Add +5 bonus souls directly to the final boss completion payout.

Optimal Card Selection Priority

To farm reliably, follow this selection hierarchy:

1. Lock your alignment early: Pick your targeted soul alignment (Redemption or Sacrifice) immediately so the Wave 10 boss bonus funnels into the correct meter.

2. Take +5 soul Neutral cards with manageable drawbacks: Grab bonus soul cards when the difficulty penalty does not compromise team survival.

3. Choose matching meter cards when no reward cards appear: Push your progression bar steadily to trigger the final boss encounter sooner.

4. Halt modifier stacking when wave DPS drops: Never take extra challenge modifiers if your frontline starts leaking durable mobs.

Build a Dedicated Farming Roster

Broken Falcon is a base quest unit and does not need to stay in your active party while farming. Swap him out for a fully built lineup:

• Early Defense: Fast-deploy units to secure the opening lanes.
• Economy: Reliable money-generating units to fund mid-game upgrades.
• Lane Coverage: AoE damage dealers positioned across long straightaways.
• Single-Target Burst: High-tier boss killers to finish milestone targets quickly.

Position your strongest DPS units along extended track sections rather than crowded spawn corners to ensure final bosses remain in range before reaching the exit.

Light vs. Dark Griffith: Which Evolution Should You Choose?

Both forms serve fundamentally different combat roles. Keep in mind that you cannot equip both Silver Falcon and Fifth Godhand simultaneously in a single lineup.

Light Griffith (Silver Falcon): Universal Carry Buffer

Deploy Silver Falcon if your roster already features top-tier carries. Position him centrally where his support aura covers as many primary damage dealers as possible. While specific buff percentages may vary depending on ally scaling mechanics and patch revisions, he provides immediate, consistent team-wide value across all game lengths.

Dark Griffith (Fifth Godhand): High-Wave Scaling Carry

Fifth Godhand relies on the Eclipse Distortion mechanic, pausing enemy advances and applying the Mark of Fate. Surviving marked enemies within his attack radius fuel his continuous damage scaling.

Dark Griffith excels in high-density, multi-wave content where enemies possess sufficient health pools to sustain his mark stacks. If incoming waves are cleared instantly before marks accumulate, his overall damage output drops significantly.

How do you get the base Griffith unit in Anime Expeditions?

Speak to the Broken Falcon NPC in Crimson Shore and accept his introductory quest. You will receive the base Broken Falcon unit immediately, which can then be evolved via Eclipse mode items.

What are the soul requirements for Light and Dark Griffith?

Silver Falcon (Light) requires 150 Redeemed Souls to purchase the Cursed Egg. Fifth Godhand (Dark) requires 150 Sacrificed Souls to purchase the Eclipse Shard.

Which evolution is better for general content?

Silver Falcon (Light) is the better choice for general progression and most players because his damage buffs enhance any established carry. Fifth Godhand (Dark) is specialized for endurance modes with high enemy density.

Why are Eclipse Souls not dropping during runs?

Souls are awarded upon defeating the final alignment boss at 100% meter progression, not from standard waves. Make sure you entered the dedicated Eclipse Infinite mode rather than standard Infinite.

Can you equip both Light and Dark Griffith in the same team?

No, the game restricts you from placing both Silver Falcon and Fifth Godhand in the same loadout. To use both forms, you must acquire and evolve two separate copies of Broken Falcon.

Summary

Unlocking and upgrading Griffith is all about a concentrated grind loop in Eclipse Infinite. Make an early decision whther your account need the universal buff utility Silver Falcon (Light) or the high wave endurance scaling Fifth Godhand (Dark). Instead of locking your alignment meter from the start, wait until your team secures 150 souls, and prioritize consistent clears over too many challenge modifiers.
