Tips & Strategies

The easiest way to tame a griffin 😌.
Requirements: 4 stone Dino gateways - 2 reinforced Dino gates - 1 net gun and some ammo for it - crossbow or rifle - tranq arrows or tranq darts -
First, you must make a stone trap, I recommend getting four stone Dino gateways and two reinforced gates, this way you can reuse the trap to tame other griffins. This will require around 1,200 stone I think 400~ thatch (maybe) and about 650 wood (approx). I recommend getting a large tame with good weight and using a metal axe and pick instead of using a Dino to harvest :)
Now, you must find a griffin, they usually spawn in either the mountain plain areas on most maps (that they are on) or winter biomes.
Once you find a griffin, make sure there aren’t any other creatures around that could kill you or the griffin.
Now, run up to the griffin and use the net gun to trap it. Place the Dino gateways in a line, make sure the gaps aren’t to big. Place the doors at both sides of the trap, make sure they’re closed ofc.
Now, you can use tranq darts or tranq arrows (with crossbow). Wait a few good seconds before shooting again with the crossbow though, or you may kill it.
Shove some meat in its inventory and you have a griffin! I recommend going to the info section for the best food to get!

For people who play on the Nintendo Switch on Ragnarok, you can find them at Waterwall of the Ancients and Upper Hidana. At least, that’s where I found mine. They can also spawn close to mountains, canyons, and maaaaayyyybbbee the tundra. Hope this helps!
Around mountain tops with no snow usually on ragnarok
I tamed one by cageing myself and hitting it with my fist
Please everyone just go to the YouTuber Captain FatDog.
His traps are so cheap, efficient, and just downright amazing
Please everyone check him out he makes traps for all the difficult dinosaurs. Peace out 👍
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 owl’s 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.
Just build a 2x4 or 2x6 pen with a dino gate on one side, placing stone pillars on the outer edges all along it. Make it near the green obelisk! Then fly the griffin into it thru the door with a pteranodon, fly out thru other end thru the pillars, land your mount, run to the other side, close the door, boom. Trapped griffin. Then tame with roughly 150 tranq arrows. Use mutton or prime meat as they are easiest to come by.
This thing is actually the fastest flyer in ark if played right.
Wyverns are fast, yes. So are pteras, etc.
But the griffin… if you gain lots of altitude, you can use the dive ability to surf back up and fly forward and slightly up to gain insane amounts of speed. No wyvern will ever catch you. Try it out!
You find them at 22,44 in ragnorak by the mountains and forests
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 I’m only 8 I can’t spell properly) third tame it with raw meat (if not idk)repeat to get more up if you think it was helpful
Considering taming this mythological beast? I may have a few ideas how! But first off, everything I say in this tip is of course what I recommend, you can tame this however you want! All I can say is good luck! Now where were we? Yes alright let’s start with the supplies one would need to tame this! First a rifle and some darts, this will be a must have, as it does little to no damage with maximum torpor! Pack at least 50 of them (pack more in case you miss) Next consider bringing a net gun! This will be usefull for keeping them in one place for a easy knockout! And finnaly the kibble and narcotics you will need: depending on the server I would recommend bringing 300/200 just to be safe, as well as 3/7 kibble, they like extraordinary kibble! Next is where to find said beasts! They can be found on; crystal isles, the island, fjordur, raganrok, scorched earth, and lost island! Alright the knockout process is fairly simple; step 1 locate a griffin! Step 2, Shoot it with a none torpor inducing weapon to lure it to you! Step 3, Net it! Step4 make it regret coming to you (aka knock it out with ease) Step 5, feed narcotics, and give it the kibble and bam you got a griffin! What are you supposed to do with said griffin? Well here’s some ability’s the griffin uses! First it has a dive witch can be converted into a swift glide, or used as a massive slam into the ground doing surrounding damaged depending on how fast your decent is! Next is this is the ONLY flying tame you are able to shoot from while riding it, making it a solid choice for aerial warfare in pvp! It also has room for 2 passengers! But griffins are made for both the sky and the ground, making them a versatile mount! Hope my info helped!! Good luck out there!
This bird is very aggressive and will fly away at high speeds when it's almost dead or about to be knocked out.
Please stop saying allo kibble or name requirements here. This is a PC Griffin page and I have been confused cause of this. Please restrict that to royal griffin page. Also this is a regular knockout tame, just use the 4 dinosaur gateways with 2 gates and u are good.
