Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a griffin? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a griffin.
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 need to make a trap out of stone and stone pillars plus a Dino gateway
1 build a cage.
2 kill everything around them.
3 shoot a arrow at it when your in the cage.
4 close the door when he’s in it.
Highlyyyyyy recommend not using tranq arows. Darts are more expensive but defenitly risk free.
Wouldnt recommend taking low level ones , just wait ..mine just got killed by about 6 bugs
Very sad...
It's been tamed I'm for my 60s.
Make sure u bring alot of narco berries because its topo is a joke
Tips for taming an griffin in mobile
1. you need to be lvl 85+
2. you need 10+ allo kibble. If not enough 9 kibble and one prime meat will do
3. you need atleast one soothing balm or else you need over a 100 kibble
4. Do NOT use tranq arrows! You will kill it with arrows. Either darts or toxicant (but toxicant is the best of these 2)
5. you can trap a griffin like this: make a 2 by X big platform, place stonegates at every snap point, place 2 doorgates at the ends of each.
6. it has low stamina. I would recommend pumping stamina first and then attack.
These tips i got from more experienced player of the game and by myself. Pls like it so that everyone can see it
you’ll need to build a trap. These guys are extremely fast I tried without a trap and well died, trap is easy to do make sure it’s stone tho. These guys are good flyers yet there damage I couldn’t say the same.
just build a pen using stone pillars (3 high) and a dinosaur gate. grab a pteranodon and lure him in it. The pteranodon will fit through the pillars and the griffin will be trapped
If you tame from a flyer, bring something tanky and faster than them. Also, if you use a cage, still stay back. They have a VERY large hit radius.
We are currently taming a griffin right now easy tame just hop on the back of a tapjara
Player 1 fly it
Player 2 hop on the back seat with tranq darts or arrows
And it will chase you so you can get a head shot every time
I hope this was helpful if it was you can like not saying you have to so bye
Of you're knock these with fist and with 100% melee also with cooked fish meat at official server you're a savage
I still use crossbow, i just heal using snowowl once or twice depending on owl stam
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.
FOR MOBILE PLAYERS! To tame a griffin, u MUST have its respect, 3 ways u can get it is by wearing the Royale crown from the store,or being level 85 to 95 or sharing the last letters in ur name and the griffins name. The best food for them is griffin kibble (cannibles) but u can only get the eggs by breeding griffins that share the same last letters in their names
Griffins aren’t as hard as their cracked up to be honestly. I mocked out a griffin and almost a second higher level one in less than 15 minutes. The only reason I couldn’t get the higher level is because it flew away and all I had was an Argie (Which are slower than griffins) but all I did was fly out and attack them with my Argie and flew to a flat area they followed me and my Argie is only a 105 but he’s a absolute tank.
But anyway he took the hits easily and while they circled to attack him I shot them with tranq arrows. I fell like they are better than darts because darts are so expensive for some people. But if you have a Bronto and an Anky than you can get alot of darts easy I can if I want just lazy lol.
But you should be able to take the hits with flak they also have a big turn radius so it makes it even easier to tame.
If they start to run just go ahead of where they are going and land and shoot. But if you can I like to just get around lots of rocks on a flat hill or plateau or something but alot of rocks and alot of space. With these conditions they should get hung up on the rocks so you can just shoot them while they are stuck. Anyway this is my first of many post so please hit the (up) ^ arrow. ( if you don’t want to you don’t have to.
Have a great day and remember Tickle chickens are not friendly.
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.
Easy 7 step tame:
1. Find one you want.
2. Hit it with a traq dart. ( then it comes to you)
3. Quickly Net it.
4. Knock it out with tranq darts.
5. Give it kibble or meat.
6. Patiently wait.
7. Tamed Griffin.
You can find griffins in abundance on fjordur at the river by 52.86, 84.93
