Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a griffin? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a griffin.
Why do these tame faster in pc?
If you find a high level one, see how slow it is. Generally I've noticed Griffins are pretty slow. I tamed one with my Deinonychus using the normal Argie trap. Recommend using prime meat for taming. You don't need a lot and carry extra narcotics because tranq arrows don't work for very long on these guys.
Make sure u bring alot of narco berries because its topo is a joke
Wouldnt recommend taking low level ones , just wait ..mine just got killed by about 6 bugs
Very sad...
Easy 7 step tame:
1. Find one you want.
2. Hit it with a traq dart. ( then it comes to you)
3. Quickly Net it.
4. Knock it out with tranq darts.
5. Give it kibble or meat.
6. Patiently wait.
7. Tamed Griffin.
Tips for taming an griffin in mobile
1. you need to be lvl 85+
2. you need 10+ allo kibble. If not enough 9 kibble and one prime meat will do
3. you need atleast one soothing balm or else you need over a 100 kibble
4. Do NOT use tranq arrows! You will kill it with arrows. Either darts or toxicant (but toxicant is the best of these 2)
5. you can trap a griffin like this: make a 2 by X big platform, place stonegates at every snap point, place 2 doorgates at the ends of each.
6. it has low stamina. I would recommend pumping stamina first and then attack.
These tips i got from more experienced player of the game and by myself. Pls like it so that everyone can see it
just build a pen using stone pillars (3 high) and a dinosaur gate. grab a pteranodon and lure him in it. The pteranodon will fit through the pillars and the griffin will be trapped
Use DARTS and mutton or prime. Meat on a 145 spoils very quickly even in 2x so keep flying around killing rexes and alphas for more meat. You can kite him if you're on a flyer using the trap (YT Nooblets video). Just fly in a circle cutting the corner really sharp and he will fly inside. And for the love of gob, please unlock your gateway so other people can actually tame them instead of spamming the mountain with traps!
-AK
I still use crossbow, i just heal using snowowl once or twice depending on owl stam
trust me. use "captain fatdog" Griffin trap to trap a griffin. cheap, easy, and effective
If you tame from a flyer, bring something tanky and faster than them. Also, if you use a cage, still stay back. They have a VERY large hit radius.
FOR MOBILE PLAYERS! To tame a griffin, u MUST have its respect, 3 ways u can get it is by wearing the Royale crown from the store,or being level 85 to 95 or sharing the last letters in ur name and the griffins name. The best food for them is griffin kibble (cannibles) but u can only get the eggs by breeding griffins that share the same last letters in their names
Go to the beaver dam spot in vannaland I find plenty of them there.
Argy taps works just fine (3 Dino gate frames and 2 Dino gates) 👍🏻 So people see
EASY way to TAME. Use harpoon gun and net projectile.
Tranq with Tranquilizer darts or better shocking darts.
It really works. Mutton or Prime meat.
Have fun!
(Long post, lots of good details) Taming Griffin is a pain, but doable. In short: trap, attack, sleep, KO, balm, and feed method, with some useful tactics. I play single-player casual hard for this, and i wanted a breeding pair to tame unicorn.
1) Go to the rocky tower between Maw and Eastern Shore, directly across from waterfall (in mobile La41.2 Lo65.7) Clear off bronto by agro and lead it off the edge. Bronto won't respawn, and no predators can reach this location.
2) Set up classic argy taming pen ( 4 stone gate frames, 3 stone pillars, 1 reinforced gate). To build, stand with your back to Far's Peak, aka Griffins' Peak, and make sure gate opens in.
3) Out of reach of the trap, set up 2 preserving bins, a pestle and mortar, and a sleeping bag. In the direction of Far's Peak, also out of range, put a torch to guide you in if trapping at night.
4) Fly on pteranodon and locate a low level (10 to 30) griffin. Agro and slowly lead it back to trap. Fly in level to ensure griffin goes in, Pteranodon will fly right through, trapping griffin when you close the gate.
5) Now use a rex, allo, argy, or whatever, and fill both preserving bins with Prime meat, I used my giga as i had one. Also put in about 70 biotoxin in one preserving bin.
6) NOTE: If you save/exit at this point, and I recommend you do, remember the food level in griffin will reset, so the next steps will need to be done without any saves.
7) Partially tranq, but do not KO, the griffin. This will start food depletion. Now sleep, and then KO. You want the food down as low as possible for rapid tame.
8) Apply 10x soothing balm, then load up with prime meat. if taming doesn't finish during rapid feeding, then use biotoxin, and feed 4 prime meat at a time, to keep in in preserving bin as long as possible.
9) I was able to tame a level 20 without needing any biotoxin, and a level 50 only needing some at the end.
10) My female ending -ena and male ending -rna were able to mate, so Only Last 2 Letters must match!
-Good Luck
I say use shocking tranq darts but everyone has their opinions.ps plz add breeding for the griffin.
Never attack without good hunting gear. You have to be over level 85 to tame in mobile.
Make a trap with about 5 stone gates frames and 1 gate on both sides and lure it in then use tranq darts for ko
If u have a argyle the griffin will go after it and u can knock It out while it busy killing ur argy
