Tips & Strategies

So here’s a trick I have learned so I am currently taking my second griffin but here’s some tricks and tips I learn
Tips:
Go run the south cave or any caves that give soothing balm
Use a trap with about 4-6 stone dinosaur gateways place one gate keep the other one
I also recommend bringing high damaging weapons to kill other animals for prime meat
You may also want an argy and upgrade speed and health
Steps:
1. Find a safe area to lure the griffin and build your trap
2. After getting the griffin the respects you lure it through the open side of your trap without the gate
3. When it gets in the trap and you close the gate put the argy in front of the gate so the griffin is agro to it and quickly place the gate behind
4. Put a sleeping bag by the trap and sleep it will starve out the griffin to 0
5. After starving your griffin quickly knock it out and put in the soothing balm
6. Quickly get prime meat and feed it
How to gain a griffins respect
Have the same surname as the griffin and when your lvl 40 it will respect you with your surname
Be lvl 85 and above for low lvl griffins or 95 and above for all griffins
Have primal pass and gold crown
Recommendations
Have around 60 tranq darts with you just in case you never know
Tame low lvls so it will be easier to tame
Save up 100 ancient amber and get a name change ticket and scout out the griffin you want then change your name to it’s surname
Well that’s all I can think of but I hope this can help some people with taking their griffins
More Royal Griffin Taming & KO Tips
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
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
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.
U need to be level 85^ to tame
can I tame it with griffin kibble?
up if yes
If a Griffin doesen't respects you, you can't tame it.
Chef station does not give griffin kibble
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
