Tips & Strategies
I find that luring it into a hallway-like trap as tall as a normal gate and pillar walls helps trap it, especially when you use a pillar to shorten its ability to move. Most effective method, max DMG horse kicks. Trust me, high lvl griffins fall to this always
More Griffin Taming & KO Tips
You need to use TRANQ DARTS after the griffin nerf.
This is way I do , personally.
1.make atleast, 4 or 5 STONE dinosaur gates and 2 stone dinosaur gate doors
2. Make a Net launcher thing and a net projectile.
3. Make sure that you're on a tame or have on some good armor so while it's going at you, you don't die
4. Shoot the net projectile at the griffin and then place the stone gateways over (with little gaps so you can shoot but also small enough ot can't glitch through) and the put the gateway doors in.
5. I would suggest using longneck, crossbow or compound bow (if you have the m available) but a regular bow works as long as you have , I would say 20-40 TRANQ arrows.
6. Try aiming for the head so it can speed things up with 4-7 second intervals
7. MUTTON is going to be the BEST taming food once it's knocked
8. Enjoy your new griffin lol - Kameron
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
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
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 👍
don’t try run at these guys and try tranq it because there too fast it won’t work. Me personally I made an easy cheap trap with stone stuff and got it in, tranq arrows with a crossbow worked fine for me. For the trap just search on tiktok griffin trap ark or YouTube I’m sure either will work
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.
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!
