Grab elements which custom attribute value contains string - xpath selenium

In some application there are div's with custom tip attribute:

<div tip="<b>Kobold łucznik</b>" style="left: 450px; top: 220px;">...</div>
<div tip="<b>Kobold łucznik</b>" style="left: 320px; top: 320px;">...</div>

I'm using nodeJs selenium webdriver to pull some data from this application. I found info that I can use xpath to grab elements which attribute is equal to something.

What I want to achieve is find all elements which value of custom attribute tip contain string: 'Kobold łucznik'. I want to do that to be able to collect x and y from left: x px and top: y px and push it to some array of objects later on.

But the first step is to find all this elements.

I tried like this:

driver.findElements(webdriver.By.xpath('//@*[contains('Kobold łucznik','tip')]/..'))

But with no luck.

As @zx485 said in comment section the issue here is that tip attribute value has < in it. Unfortunately I can not change the tip value. The key for my app to work correctly is to grab those elements and I can not get the job done without doing it.

I think this should work 

driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[contains(@tip,'Kobold łucznik')]")

or use css selector which fast and compatible with more browser

driver.findElements(By.css("div[tip*='Kobold łucznik']"))
