What are tips for griffin? Tips and strategies for griffin in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
To the person who said the griffin should eat other kibbles griffins aren’t on the island
130 tranq arrows 2 crossbows for a 145 20 pieces of mutton to tame approx 48 minutes 4.9per mutton
Good ol net harpoon and mantis with clubs and you’ve got yourself a freshly tamed Griffin
To the person who said they can’t find any griffins on the switch: These are the locations I found my griffins: Dag Rock Valley, Upper Hidana, and Waterwall of the Ancients. Hope this helps!! ^^

you can use arrows instead of darts if you have it in a trap! drag a corpse to the griffin once it gets low; it'll eat the corpse while trying to attack the trap and regain all its health so you can keep firing. cheaper than making a bunch of darts.
Highly recommended to build cave before going after one, lost a 130 Griffin because of it, look up nooblets if your looking for build on cages, also explains where they are
To tame use the same as an argy trap three or four gates two doors and just run inside and trap it. I recommend having someone there to feed it narcotics as it can be hard to find vois sometimes.
Not gonna lie they look lowkey cute, until they start chasing you and clawing your eyes out of course
Get yourself a vulture and go kill ovis, but let the vulture harvest it (you can't put anything in it's inventory, it has to harvest it on its own), and the vulture will keep raw mutton fresh for 2 hours while you trap and knock out your griffin. No kibble needed, nearly max taming efficiency for the cost of a few spoiled meat to tame a vulture.
I tamed one of theses without a trap but it took ages even though it was only lvl 10 , definitely use a trap
Has anyone noticed that if you tame a low level (my 2 were both lvl 16) after they are tamed all stats decrease by a good margin.
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.
I’ve found the best way to tame these guys is with a net gun. Depending on the level I wouldn’t recommend *just* netting it, though. Once it’s down you can build a quick trap around it using foundations, door frames (singles, not doubles), and ceilings. Even just 1 level of door frames with a ceiling on top and it won’t be able to escape when the net breaks. Much easier than trying to fly them into a trap. [Method tested!]
You need to make a trap out of stone and stone pillars plus a Dino gateway
On rag, can be found near beaver dams near the middle of the map next to mountains. Every single griffin I have found there has been glitches and stuck flying in a circle so there will be there unless aggro’d by someone or something. You can use an argy trap to trap it and then knock it. Then get mutton and boom, you have a griffin. One of the easiest mobile tames.
I found one of these while flying on my pteranodon and wow there aggro range is huge and they can chase you for days and not get tired.
Build a pen, lure the Griffin into the pen, knock it out, let it wake up, knock it out again, then feed it mutton. 100% taming effectiveness. With an ascended crossbow it's not to many arrows for a knock out. Like 40 each time for a 150. Hope it helps!!!
