Griffins are a must-have tame if you can take one down. A great way to do this is with a Tapejara. It can take a decent amount of arrows with precise shots so you’ll need to get in the backseat. Carefully land your Tape near(but not too close to) the Griffin and switch seats; if you don’t play Mobile, you can switch seats when on the ground before shooting the first tranq. When it aggros it will fly off the ground and pursue you, this is your queue to whistle Attack so the Tape can take flight and chase the Griffin with a steady pace. Since they don’t lose stamina while you’re a passenger you can freely shoot at the Griffin to take it down but if you and the Griffin end up in a circle there’s a chance the Tape’s wing could interfere with aim depending on the angle. Darts are good too but tranq arrows work just as well with less materials. Once it goes unconscious, whistle Passive to avoid attacking it and switch seats to get to where it lands before carnivores do; where there are griffins there are usually dangerous animals so don’t get caught lacking when taking their prime meat to feed it. It helps to kill a few snakes and use a good quality pick to store the meat. It can take a while for the Griffin to eat so keep watch for raptors and other threats while eating for the hunger to drop. Bio Toxin adds a little more torpor than Narcotic but is perishable so a bring about a stack of it to keep it unconscious until completion. It also helps to bring some cooked meat so you quick-heal the Griffin if it lost a lot of health during the arrows. If you used a Tape to tame a Griffin then change that button pls and thx

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

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!

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!

So if you want to tame a griffin you'll need about 50 tranq arrows for a 1-35 lvl then 50+ for any levels 40+ and two crossbows (just in case the other breaks). You don't necessarily NEED a trap but it is recommended! (Bigger traps are always better). You can find traps on yt. (ALSO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PTERANDON) ALSO BRING NARCOTICS! I thought I didn't need them and I was mistaken, so I had to use narco berries. SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

So once you got all of that you need to find a griffin. Once you've found one you'll need to knock it out by putting it inside the trap. Or you can make it surround you (it has terrible turning radius) then knock out. If you don't have a trap to use on the griffin it will run and probably agro on another dino while trying to run.(use that chance to knock it out, try not to do it over water). Once knocked out feed narcotics when the unconscious level gets to the first " s" . Recommend prime meat or mutton but just normal meat will work also (normal meat will just have less than an effect) then boom! You got yourself a griffin!

Sorry if you don't understand!
