The Griffin's turning radius is so big that if you position yourself correctly you can stand still and the Griffin will go in cirles around you forever.

I found a way to easily lose a grif’s aggro when riding a Argentavis having a grif attacking you.

You just have to fly around in a circle then continue in the direction you where going I have tried this twice on two different griffins and I instantly lost their aggro

Just tame it

It’s not that hard use Rex’s

i’m a lazy guy, and i don’t usually use traps when i tame things, other than BIG things like a reaper queen or a giga, but THIS IS THE EXCEPTION. unless your dad is apollo, it is impossible to knock one of these guys out without using a trap, for my case anyway. they are ridiculously fast, and they will circle you and attack you. however, the griffin is worth the trouble. it’s one of the fastest fliers, does devastating damage compared to other fliers, other than your typical high-level argy, doesnt need a saddle to ride, can fit two people, and not to mention it looks amazing. however, it can’t pick up many things, it can only pick up smaller creatures. if you carry cryopods around with you though, this shouldn’t be a problem. -J

Like if they should stop being so stubborn when you try to fly them in a trap

Just a tip, don't let your careless and cocky tribemates ride it in the first 5 minutes of it being tamed

You need to use TRANQ DARTS after the griffin nerf.

You CAN tame them with a crossbow.

Wait 5-7 seconds between shots and there is no way you will kill it. Torpor raises over time, arrows/darts are not instant.

You do not "have to have" tanq darts.

There I was, staring into the face of death. I pointed my mighty crossbow at the beast head. And was eaten by a saber tooth. Make sure you clear out the area before taking the griffin on.

You do not need a saddle for griffins
