Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a griffin? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a griffin.
Griffins are just one of the best flying mounts in the game they can do some crazy dive bomb move and it takes damage, you can even use weapons on the mount and you can tranquil enemies from them and they cannot get you
You can tame these Tweety birds by capturing them in a net, then you can use the tranq darts, tranq arrows, or shock tranqs to knock them, Then you will need extraordinary kib to tame or meat, and you got yourself a Diving satanic tweety😁-Smiley
Never tame in the dark. It will come out of nowhere and kill you. Hope this helps;)
I recommend using the trap syntac made in his taming a max level griffin video. It’s soooo much better than the gates. Btw a pteranodon can dint through the space between two pillars, a griffin can’t
Careful starver time is way off so people can know
if you are taming one you should make trap so it wont run away with high torpor and if it wake’s up you can knock it out again
I was taming a 74 with a tribe mate, took three prime meat and it said I needed seven 🤔.
btw I used used 4 Dino gateways and 2 gates to trap.
To the person who said the griffin should eat other kibbles griffins aren’t on the island
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!]
An incredibly good and cheap taming pen for a Griffin is using on dino stone gateway and 4 stone fence supports. Search Kaizer from Crete on YouTube. I used it last night to tame a 145 Griffin. 10/10 (also works with Argys) 👍
To tame this magestic beast, hit it to anger it, take it high into the sky (away from all things itll try to attack) and lure it into a trap made for pters to be able to pass through. They create dust which makes it hard to see where you need to hit at times. Its takes a ton of tranq darts. But its worth it. Pump stam, health and weight and its a faster tape. And its beautiful. Have fun :P
JUST USE A NET GUN, IT MAKES KNOCKING OUT 100% GUARANTEED
Says 90 some tranqs from a crossbow for a 145. It takes 129 arrows out of a crossbow.
Hi, I’m Apollo. Probably not the Apollo in the previous tip but maybe. I just want to say, if you don’t trap this thing, it’s going to get away. No matter what you do, if you don’t trap it, it’s going to fly away and leave you in its dust.
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.
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.
You can find griffins in abundance on fjordur at the river by 52.86, 84.93
(Long post, lots of good details) Taming Griffin is a pain, but doable. In short: trap, attack, sleep, KO, balm, and feed method, with some useful tactics. I play single-player casual hard for this, and i wanted a breeding pair to tame unicorn.
1) Go to the rocky tower between Maw and Eastern Shore, directly across from waterfall (in mobile La41.2 Lo65.7) Clear off bronto by agro and lead it off the edge. Bronto won't respawn, and no predators can reach this location.
2) Set up classic argy taming pen ( 4 stone gate frames, 3 stone pillars, 1 reinforced gate). To build, stand with your back to Far's Peak, aka Griffins' Peak, and make sure gate opens in.
3) Out of reach of the trap, set up 2 preserving bins, a pestle and mortar, and a sleeping bag. In the direction of Far's Peak, also out of range, put a torch to guide you in if trapping at night.
4) Fly on pteranodon and locate a low level (10 to 30) griffin. Agro and slowly lead it back to trap. Fly in level to ensure griffin goes in, Pteranodon will fly right through, trapping griffin when you close the gate.
5) Now use a rex, allo, argy, or whatever, and fill both preserving bins with Prime meat, I used my giga as i had one. Also put in about 70 biotoxin in one preserving bin.
6) NOTE: If you save/exit at this point, and I recommend you do, remember the food level in griffin will reset, so the next steps will need to be done without any saves.
7) Partially tranq, but do not KO, the griffin. This will start food depletion. Now sleep, and then KO. You want the food down as low as possible for rapid tame.
8) Apply 10x soothing balm, then load up with prime meat. if taming doesn't finish during rapid feeding, then use biotoxin, and feed 4 prime meat at a time, to keep in in preserving bin as long as possible.
9) I was able to tame a level 20 without needing any biotoxin, and a level 50 only needing some at the end.
10) My female ending -ena and male ending -rna were able to mate, so Only Last 2 Letters must match!
-Good Luck
I'll use a tranq dart or two to get their attention and to lure them to a place I can build.
When I stop and turn to face them, I will use the harpoon gun/net projectile to drop them at my feet.
Then I'll put a 3 to 5 dino gate trap around them, with a door on each of the outer gates.
Then I start shooting tranqs at them and don't have to worry about roaming random dinos or argies killing them while I'm taming.
*Bonus: since I can use an exo mek, I pick up my trap when I'm done.
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!!!
