To catch a Graphorn, you’ll need to locate its den in the south-most portion of the Clagmar Coast map, which becomes accessible after completing the San Bakar’s Trial main quest, and then use the Nab-Sack spell to capture it after defeating it in battle. The process involves standing above the Graphorn Den and fighting the Beasts from there, utilizing damage spells like Confringo, Incendio, Expelliarmus, and Diffindo, as well as ancient magic combos to weaken it before using the Nab-Sack.
