I play ark mobile a lot, as well as regular ark, and in mobile I don’t think you need prime meat.. at least not for the first 50% or so. Once when taming, at 50% it stopped taking regular meat and I wasn’t stocked on prime meat since it expires so quickly, so I lost that one. But the next time I tried it took regular meat all the way?? Still confused, but I got a griffin!!

you can build a trap with: 1 stone foundation, 1 stone railing, 3 double door frames,1 double door and 1 holed ceiling.

you place the foundation then the railing on your right, on your left you put two frames on top of eachother then you put the ceiling so that it's over the foundation, you place on your opposite side a double door frame attached to the ceiling (it doesn't touch the ground) and you place the door on the lower frame.

you make a griffin follow you, you should pass trough the trap with the railing on your right and the door on your left

as the griffin is inside you go to te side and close the door, congratulations now the griffin is trapped.

Tamed my first griffin ever yesterday. It’s a level 108 and was a relatively easy tame. I got it into my stone dinosaur gate/pillar trap in one try and shot it mostly with Tranq darts then switched to tranq arrows when I ran out. Now, I haven’t had it for too long, I’ve leveled it up about 10-15 times, but I’m not seeing what all the hype is about with these. They’re really cool looking but I tamed a level 108 and it’s stamina is way too low. It’s health is 4000 which isn’t terrible but you run through that pretty quick since it’s attack is trash. It has low weight. It’s kinda fast and you can shoot guns while riding it, but other than that I’ll take an Argy over these guys any day.

I found the best way to tame one is to get on a safe cliff high above one, just far enough that a fabricated pistol can hit it (helps to have a scope on it), also have around 50 bullets. Shoot it and it will turn directly straight line to you, as it’s flying straight at you just hold the trigger the gun will fire full auto. If you positioned yourself far enough away the Griffen will turn to flee before it gets to you, meaning you’ve weakened him. At that point switch to tranq gun, chase him and you can force him to get stuck in the side of something, I corralled him into trees and a cliff using my tapajera (any flyer you can ride will work) At that point you just need to shoot him around 10 times in the but with shocking tranq or 15-20 regular tranqs bc he’s weak. Then I just used prime meat. His torpor drains slow so if you need you can even leave to acquire more.
