You can use weapons while riding on the main seat of these guys on ascended

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.

You need to use TRANQ DARTS after the griffin nerf.

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

Make sure to trap griffin using 4 Dino gates and two doors or have fun chasing it around

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 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.

You do not need a saddle for griffins

Everyone please keep your "mobile griffins" to the Royal Griffin page

I'm trying to find information for a Griffin on Ragnarok

If I wanted to tame a mobile (royal) Griffin I would go there

They can fly through open stone dino gates so build a taming pin with that in mind to make it easier to tame otherwise you will be chasing it down alot.

Wanna get Wyvern eggs? Use one of these with a whip and you'll get so many eggs you'll end up with so many omelettes that you don't know what to do with them

As fun as they are to ride, I think they should have the same carrying capacity as an argentevis

If you can't dive, it's because you have your map out. ;)

236 points   🔧 Utility   Jun 17, 2022   Report

They spawn a lot at 51.2 81.7 on fjudor

359 points   🔧 Utility   Nov 18, 2020   Report

These guys should seriously be able to breed. I really wanna see mutations on griffins.

613 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Jun 13, 2017   Report

General Argentavis taming pens will work, it is a knockout game that is not narcotic heavy. Will require quite a lot of tranqs. Have fun taming it everyone!

While diving pull up at the last second above your target and use main left click attack. Does a ton more dmg then just landing on target. Gives a nice speed boost too.

To find the griffin (lost island) you need to go to 33.8 75.4
