Acquiring the Griffin isn't dependent on level but rather on whether or not you've completed certain quests. Please seethis thread discussing the process.

So look to see whether you've completed the following quests: Legend of the Witch, Date with a Beloved, Mysterious Monster and Hint's in History. These quests usually coincide with unlocking the Dark Forest location.

Hope this helps. ^^
