I regret to inform you that it’s Halloween again. Yes, it’s time for cubs to run underfoot while shrieking, throwing spiders at each other, and getting violently sick on candy corn. If you think I’m exaggerating, I’ve got some floors that need mopping.

Guild Wars 2’s Path of Fire expansion is out, adding mounts to the game for the first time. Of these, four were previewed ahead of launch, but players have been delighted to discover a ‘secret’ fifth: the Griffon. Developers ArenaNet tell us about designing and implementing the game’s best-kept secret to date.

During the run-up to Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire’s launch, players were teased about the four mounts being added to the game. But secretly, ArenaNet hid a fifth mount - the Griffon - in the deserts of Elona. Read on to find out how to get it, and what it’s all about. Beware, non-story spoilers ahead!
