Hello! Here is an overview of the griffin (Old Ark mobile players go to the Royal Griffin page). I recommend trapping them, but it is possible to take a griffin without a trap, but it can be difficult. Griffins are known to be very hard to trap. (Not to advertise, but I recommend Captainfatdog’s griffin trap on YouTube.) You will likely need a lot of biotoxin/narcoberries/narcotics. When tamed, they are the fastest fliers in the game. They can strafe (move freely) in all directions, glide, and you can use weapons on their back. You can only breed griffins on Ascended, and you can breed Royal Griffins on Old Mobile. Their glide can make them move at incredible speeds. In order to glide, you must not be holding anything in your hand (even maps and spyglasses) and look down. It takes them a couple of seconds of nose diving to reach terminal velocity (max speed). If you dived correctly, you will see wind effects near your griffin’s wings and you will hear a loud wind noise. You also must be sprint flying to glide. The glide speed still affects you when you land so you will run very fast. Griffins are the only flier you can use weapons on. You can also stand on their backs but sometimes it will glitch and you fall through so keep a parachute with you if you are going to dismount in the air. They have 3 different attacks; normal, dive bomb, and dive swipe. You can use the dive bomb attack by diving straight down onto a creature/player. The dive swipe is the strongest attack. You use it by diving at a creature but instead of just diving, you attack while you are still going down. You do not need a saddle to fly a griffin. You do not need a saddle to ride a griffin. That is all I know, thank you so much for reading!

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!

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.

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.

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
