Utility Tips

What is a griffin used for? griffin battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
It's basic swipe from the ground is rather weak. It's strength comes from being able to dive swipe. To utilize this, you will want to focus the camera on your target and fly above then straight down at the enemy, while left clicking to swipe a claw in air. This does unreal massive damage, potentially thousands of damage.
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.
Great for wyvern egg stealing, you need to master the dive acceleration before trying though. I recommend doing it over water to simulate the lava you would burn to death in if you fail ;)
Other than that with the dive these appear to be completely unmatched as far as speed goes for any Dino except maybe a pure speed galli
i tamed a level 95 bad boi and these things SLAP. literally. their dive attack deals 280 damage per hit and you can hit creatures at least twice before swinging back up. immediately get your bonus for killing each creature for your first time and level up stamina, then take on an alpha carno. i got +14 levels from killing a level 90. just keep bumping stamina and weight!
