ARK: Survival Evolved Companion

Tips & Strategies

People told me that if you encounter one they're very vicious and will attack you. In my experience, they are not at all like that. They only hurt you if you get too close to them as they fly around in circles really fast. But they never target you and attack.
More Griffin Encountering Tips
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.
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.
Be prepared because it is real fast and does a LOT of damage and I mean a LOT so first you are somewhere that there is 1 of them (fact on my private server 1 griffin was near my base) second you knock it out with tranks (sorry Iβm only 8 I canβt spell properly) third tame it with raw meat (if not idk)repeat to get more up if you think it was helpful
To find the griffin (lost island) you need to go to 33.8 75.4
Around mountain tops with no snow usually on ragnarok
IT can be found on Valguero (like for Dododex)
If you have access to a snow owl, you can tame these with any crossbow! Just shoot it until it looks bloody, and heal it with the snow owlβs ability. Do it so that it heals quite a bit, but not so long that the torpor drains back empty. Then hop off the owl and continue shooting it with tranq arrows. I knocked a 140 with a 279 crossbow and using this method it had over half hp remaining once it finally went down.
These things are aggressive not friendly.
Feet hit the bay, look around black sand, hear a hawk noise, look up.
Proceed to pray to Thor. Because the Griffin is divebombing your noob a**
Best map to find these is crystal isle theres a trench full of them in dessert
