Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a royal griffin? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a royal griffin.
So here’s a trick I have learned so I am currently taking my second griffin but here’s some tricks and tips I learn
Tips:
Go run the south cave or any caves that give soothing balm
Use a trap with about 4-6 stone dinosaur gateways place one gate keep the other one
I also recommend bringing high damaging weapons to kill other animals for prime meat
You may also want an argy and upgrade speed and health
Steps:
1. Find a safe area to lure the griffin and build your trap
2. After getting the griffin the respects you lure it through the open side of your trap without the gate
3. When it gets in the trap and you close the gate put the argy in front of the gate so the griffin is agro to it and quickly place the gate behind
4. Put a sleeping bag by the trap and sleep it will starve out the griffin to 0
5. After starving your griffin quickly knock it out and put in the soothing balm
6. Quickly get prime meat and feed it
How to gain a griffins respect
Have the same surname as the griffin and when your lvl 40 it will respect you with your surname
Be lvl 85 and above for low lvl griffins or 95 and above for all griffins
Have primal pass and gold crown
Recommendations
Have around 60 tranq darts with you just in case you never know
Tame low lvls so it will be easier to tame
Save up 100 ancient amber and get a name change ticket and scout out the griffin you want then change your name to it’s surname
Well that’s all I can think of but I hope this can help some people with taking their griffins
WARNING WHEN PLAYING IN SINGLE PLAYER
THERES A PROBLEM WHERE IF YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME AND RIDE A MOUNT/LEAVE TO MAIN MENU
IT WILL REVERT BACK INTO THE OLD NAME
SO IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO GAIN THE RESPECT OF GRIFFINS, IT SHOULD BE EITHER USING GOLD CROWN OR LEVEL YOURSELF TO 85/95 AS USING NAME CHANGING TICKET WILL BE IN VAIN
UP SO MORE PLAYERS BECOME AWARE

Important tip-
First time 2 opposite gender low level Griffin (suggestion level 10)
Then grind Griffin eggs and after getting 10 eggs you can take high level Griffin (Must use 10x smoothing blam)
I tame a 260 lvl Griffin with 4 Griffin kibble and a 10x smoothing blam. Now I have 9 Griffin in my base.
I just found out a trick to not wait for too long
First u trap the Griffin then hit it to lower it's hp upto half then sleep in front of it in hide sleeping bag for 4 hour then knock him unconscious u will see it has 0 food so all the kibble or food u give him he will eat it instantly
This way u can save a lot of narcotics and can tame even high level very quickly
1.tame two low levels with the same surname
2.breed and make griffin kibble
3. Use griffin kibble to tame higher level ones
4.breed the higher level ones
5.imprint
(Soothing balm is a must)
It takes like 2 full days to tame a high level griffin with raw meat I tested it so you dont have to your welcome
To all who are wanting to tame one: (WARNING! WALL OF TEXT)
If you are level 40+, your surname needs to match that of one of these creatures. For example, if your name in the game is Sasha, but the one you want to tame has the name Morphi’i, you will need to change your name with a name change ticket (100 amber) to Sashai’i. If you are level 95+ or have the gold crown skin on your helmet, then you can disregard needing to change your name.
Next, a trap of a 4x4x4 cube with 4 wooden Dino gates is the best way to trap it. Griffins can damage wood, but I was able to trap & tame 2 with a single of the structure aforementioned. When taming, it is important to note that if you do not have a soothing balm, it is going to take literal hours to tame the griffin. A x10 taming balm is decent, and easily obtained from a dungeon (the southern one near the center is my favored one for gathering these), but a x15 is preferable. Keep in mind even with a x15 it will still probably take 20+ minutes to tame *at best.*
For food, it only accepts prime meat, prime fish meat, either raw or cooked (but raw is better, of course), or allosaurus kibble. To get a griffin to lay eggs, you must have the female mate with a male, and griffins only mate with another griffin of the same surname. Go for a low level, always, unless you are prepared with thousands of narcotics and armed with the patience of a saint.
Once tamed, lead your griffin back home and put it in a safe space to let it passively level up. Once it’s health is at least x3 that of a normal griffin and it’s stamina is at least x2 of its original value, you’re ready to take it out on flights.
Furthermore, breeding griffins will produce better offspring, just like with all other dinos, but again, be armed with the patience of a saint. It takes many real-life days, about 2 weeks is my guess, of nonstop gameplay, for the baby to mature completely. While it is in its baby phase, it must be near its mother to feel secure enough to eat. However, once it is juvenile, it can be moved away from its mother if necessary. Hatching the egg will take at least 5 air conditioners.
TL;DR: Royal griffins are mainly trophy tames, but once trained enough, they are a cross between argentavis for firepower, and tapejaras for flight mobility, with a large aoe attack.
Mobile a pain, but doable. Basic 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 Lat 41.2 Lon 65.7 the rocky tower between Maw and Eastern Shore, directly across from waterfall. 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
Get x3 balm and any meat it likes,
Find one that respects you that you like,
Knockout.
Use balm
Shove meat up its butt.
Wait 10000000 years
Boom ya got a griffin ya like
Omg as I’m typing this I found a unicorn and griffen in the same place 😀 I want to tame it but I have nothing to use HELP
For taming a griff you need to be one of three things.
1 lvl 85 or above
2 have the crown skin equipped
3 have Sam last name (such as radtmir name yourself with mir at the end of it) and be at least lvl 40
If your taming these on single player trap it and before knocking it out sleep in a sleeping bag so that when it knocks out its food stat is 0 so you can feed it easily no more waiting
Hi guys I'm so happy for taming my first R. Griffin
By using a change name card so cool level 8 griffin 🤩
You need a soothing balm
Toxic bin 100*
Prime raw meet 50*
Voila here is your royalti
IMPORTANT TIP TO THOSE WHO STILL DON'T KNOW!!!
If you sleep first and tranq a dino near you that you want to tame after waking up and when it's down you can see that it's hunger is 0. EASY TAME!
If your on mobile don’t waste your amber on name change tickets,they don’t work
When seeing these animals, make sure it respects you right before you knock it out and feed it food. if it doesn’t respect you, you can’t tame it. A tip to taming these things is to build 4-5 stone dino gates. Then, put it in a line formation with some space in between so that you can still shoot it, but it can’t escape. Then put two stone doors at the end so that there’s no way of escaping unless you open it. Once you have the trap, find a griff that you want, agro it with a mount, lead it into the trap, and close both doors. Once it’s trapped, you want to shoot darts until it knocks out. then just feed it kibble bc it takes a while to tame, and use x15 soothing balm. hope this helps!
Please don’t go Taming a high level with allo kibble it will take over a hundred if it’s a high level on hard and several hours. Instead tame 2 low level griffins with the same letters at the end of their name, breed them and make their egg into a kibble which will need snake plant seeds which can be bought for amber. This will take less time and less resources to tame.
Find it very annoying that u can’t tame these thing unless they respect u. To do that u have to have gold crown skin which u need primal pass for or be level 85. Plz make a dif way to get these beasts to respect us! Plz up to let others know so they don’t waste tranqs and their time ect
WHY SO LONG TO TAME! Cmon like I’m gonna stare at a screen for hours on end
people might tell you taming a griffin is not an easy task but i’ll
help you out if you’re looking for help
ok taming griffins :D
1st: get a stack of tranq darts/ 2 stacks of tranq arrows & about 100-150 bio toxin
2nd: build a trap with 4x gateframes and 2x gates and 2 pillars in the middle (all structures must be stone) & make sure to place it in a safe part of the map with no other big dinos
3rd: find a griffin that’s level 10-15 (or below) lure it to your trap with a pt (i highly recommend a pt as it can go through the trap and you can just close the gate when it’s in)
4th: tranq the small guy out and purchase a 15x soothing ba for 40 amber (you can watch ads) and i highly recommend you use prime meat if you have a argy you bring with if not allo kibble works as well (their torpor goes down fast)
5th: tame another of the opposite gender with
the same last name and a similar level
6th: breed the pair and make griffin kibble to tame a high lvl :D
