Tips & Strategies
Are you tired of running out of Tranqs/Darts? Are you absolutely fed up with these a**holes eating your Bio-toxin like it is pizza? Are you raging at the fact that allo kibble only gives 2 percent affinity and wasting amber all day and night to buy more mixes? Then follow this (mostly accurate) guide!
Step One: The first step is gathering resources! You will need around 20-240 Tranq arrows based on the quality of your weapon. It is NEVER recommended to tame a high (or even low) level griffin without AT LEAST a 10x soothing balm. It is going to take at least an entire week for the beach to tame. They can be acquired rather easily by tributing artifacts. The second-last step is to prepare the taming food, If you dont have access to a chef station and a significant amount of mixes, prime meat also works, although it will mess up the taming effectiveness slightly, and also spoils fast. The last step for preparation is to build an normal argy trap, which also works for the griffins, you dont want it to fly away with all of your tranq arrows, darts, weapon durability and a huge chunk of your sanity. It is best to make a trap out of stone, as high levels may destroy your trap and escape before it is down. After that, it is time to galvanise into action.
Step 2: Clearing the area and luring it into the trap.
You will need to clear the area with an argy or quetzel first, as there are carnos, allos and rexes all over the mountain, not to mention other griffins, make the area safe unless you want to lose your life.
Once you’ve done that, luring it into the trap has little difference between luring an argy into the trap, Do the same thing, thats all.
Step 3: The knockout.
Unlike many of the other high topor creatures, you can knock out griffins rather easily, as in, low levels, you will only need about 12-20 for them. High levels chow your sanity like chips.
STEP 4: FINAL BOSS.
The tame is hard, use the soothing balm, BUT EVEN with a soothing balm, some can still take more then 3 hours to tame, make more allo kibble or farm more prime meat, and most of all, feed it narcotics or biotoxin so the thing doesnt wake up.
And now, either you are living in external depression, mentally and physically unstable, smashing everything to pieces, or flying on a griffin!
Hope this was helpful!

More Royal Griffin Taming & KO Tips
Don't unclaim it because it will not die after 15 min. But it will become a real wild griffin and get angry on you.
Hey there! This is A SUPER SERIOUS TIP! If u want a high level use a 15x soothing balm… they cost 45 amber but an easy way to get amber is to go around the map on ur fastest flyer or mount and open supply drops… there is a 25% chance u will get amber, the better the drop, the more amber u get, also if u find a ringed drip they have a 40% to drop amber, underwater drops have a 30% of amber drop, ringed underwater drops have a 50% chance of amber drop, the maximum amber u can get from a drop is 5. Also cave drops have a 25% to drop amber… One more thing, the artifact of the strong can reward amber occasionaly as well. -Valkeri
U need to be level 85^ to tame
If you need to tame a royal Griffin in 30 second then do this:-
Step1:-go in the top of Griffin mountain and put trap and trap it and
Wait for night then put a bed and sleep this will do your Griffin food zero
Step2:-then knock it
Step3:-give 10×balm and put your meat or prime meat or griffin kibble fast
If a Griffin doesen't respects you, you can't tame it.
If you have the same last name as a griffen it will respect you
If you’re in single player, Taming these will be much easier, just follow these steps.
1. Select a low lvl griffin, Lead it away from the mountian into a trap where there are no creatures
2. Place down a bed and sleep, this will cause the griffin to be starving when u KO it. (Only works in single player, in Multiplayer just leave it trapped for a few hours and dont let it kill anything)
3. Knock it out, Get soothing balm and give it to the griffin, Then get prime meat or allo kibble and give it to the griffin. Just make sure you have enough so that it tames
4. Get another low lvl griffin with the same last letters in its name that is the opposite gender.
5. Repeat the process, tame up around 2-4 females and 1 male only.
6. Breed them, make griffin kibble.
7. Repeat the process with a high lvl griffin, but use griffin kibble instead.
Quick tip: when i tamed a 290 griffin at 10x balm it needed 4 griffin kibble and at 15x balm it needed 3, if that helps.
PRO TIP FOR MOBILE USERS!!!
Do not spend ancient amber on soothing balm.
Instead do this.
1. (Optional) Get aurthoplura pet (Recommended from clever cave) you can tame a lvl 70 with one broth of enlightenment, although it is a pain getting the black pearl. It is passive tame but you can easily get close with bug repellent and ghillie armor, The aurthoplura is a good tame cuz no other animal can see it.
2. Go speedrun the caves with aurthoplura with its stealth you can easily pass any enemies.
3. Do the snow cave first (remember to bring fur) and bring about 5 sleeping bags find the artifact (you can do the entire cave with this guy place sleeping bags near artifact grab one, and then die respawn near obelisk tribute it and die again respawn back at sleeping bag and so forth. Do this until you get gas mask. (You can teleport tame out of cave).
4.head to swamp cave with buddy, gas masks and sleeping bag, do the cave (you might have to do some of it on foot so I recommend bring weapon) find artifact place sleeping bags and repeat.
You can also do this in lave cave and get acendent weapons (mastercraft if in easy) and also will not work so easily in hardcore.
Got 15 times 10 soothing balm this way
Hope this helps ;) WCKDD1
UP SO ALL CAN SEE PLS
These are so mean on mobile. I go up the mountain for rare mushrooms to tame a kangaroo 🦘. Come down to 5 of these trying to kill my equus. AND when I knock one out it says "IT DOES NOT RESPECT YOU" and I'm like "Waaaaaaaa"
Tamed one with LOTS AND LOTS of stacks of meat. Don't do it.
