I disagree with high torpor drop. It’s more like medium. Let torpor go all the way down, then narc, it rises as slow as it drops.

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
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
Just tamed my first griffin on fjorhor, level 135 and it’s mostly easy if you just have a harpoon gun and net projectiles, also I used tranq darts but obviously you could just build a trap for it and there’s plenty of tutorials on YouTube but I just found it easier and less time consuming if you just net it.
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 👍
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.
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
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!
