Tips & Strategies
If they respect you there’s no reason to run, unless it does not...run where ever you can go. I have admin so I have no reason to worry since I maxed my level. Just be really careful near the griffins, they can be kinda dangerous to level uhhhh Idk just low levels. Far’s Peak is the only place on the map to find the griffins, don’t use a starter bow while taking it down. That could lead to death and all your stuff gone, make sure to bring a lot of raw prime meat if you don’t have kibble at all. Also watch out for raptors, Sabertooth tigers and much more while going to Far’s peak. Bring a flying dino and a lot of strong tranq arrows, park the flying dino somewhere safe and not too close to where you are and set the Dino’s attack to “neutral” so once you attack the griffin it does nothing, WARNING : don’t set to passive because your dino could be killed by the other Dino’s around.) also. Put it not so high on a rock but still high so if you need to escape you can. Btw thank u for reading
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
WARNING WHEN PLAYING IN SINGLE PLAYER
THERES A PROBLEM WHERE IF YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME AND RIDE A MOUNT/LEAVE TO MAIN MENU
IT WILL REVERT BACK INTO THE OLD NAME
SO IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO GAIN THE RESPECT OF GRIFFINS, IT SHOULD BE EITHER USING GOLD CROWN OR LEVEL YOURSELF TO 85/95 AS USING NAME CHANGING TICKET WILL BE IN VAIN
UP SO MORE PLAYERS BECOME AWARE

I just found out a trick to not wait for too long
First u trap the Griffin then hit it to lower it's hp upto half then sleep in front of it in hide sleeping bag for 4 hour then knock him unconscious u will see it has 0 food so all the kibble or food u give him he will eat it instantly
This way u can save a lot of narcotics and can tame even high level very quickly
I have losed the grifins interest in me in seconds because a pteranodon is too fast to a griifin I have a pteranofon lvl 67 and it's movement speed is 167% it is too fast for a griifin and I got a griifin lvl 14 to South zone 1 and tamed it with allosaur kibble with soothing balm but it destroyed the trap and killed my baryonyx lvl 30 but however I managed to knock and tame 1 like= 1rip baryonyx
1.tame two low levels with the same surname
2.breed and make griffin kibble
3. Use griffin kibble to tame higher level ones
4.breed the higher level ones
5.imprint
(Soothing balm is a must)
They dont respect me.... My quetzal can take care of that.
It takes like 2 full days to tame a high level griffin with raw meat I tested it so you dont have to your welcome
DO NOT GO NEAR IT IF UR NOT GONNA TAME IT YET OR IT WILL FOLLOW YOU ALL THE WAY TO UR BASE like what happened to me and it broke my whole thatch base :( (my argentavis died bc of this mistake)
Mobile a pain, but doable. Basic 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 Lat 41.2 Lon 65.7 the rocky tower between Maw and Eastern Shore, directly across from waterfall. 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
To all who are wanting to tame one: (WARNING! WALL OF TEXT)
If you are level 40+, your surname needs to match that of one of these creatures. For example, if your name in the game is Sasha, but the one you want to tame has the name Morphi’i, you will need to change your name with a name change ticket (100 amber) to Sashai’i. If you are level 95+ or have the gold crown skin on your helmet, then you can disregard needing to change your name.
Next, a trap of a 4x4x4 cube with 4 wooden Dino gates is the best way to trap it. Griffins can damage wood, but I was able to trap & tame 2 with a single of the structure aforementioned. When taming, it is important to note that if you do not have a soothing balm, it is going to take literal hours to tame the griffin. A x10 taming balm is decent, and easily obtained from a dungeon (the southern one near the center is my favored one for gathering these), but a x15 is preferable. Keep in mind even with a x15 it will still probably take 20+ minutes to tame *at best.*
For food, it only accepts prime meat, prime fish meat, either raw or cooked (but raw is better, of course), or allosaurus kibble. To get a griffin to lay eggs, you must have the female mate with a male, and griffins only mate with another griffin of the same surname. Go for a low level, always, unless you are prepared with thousands of narcotics and armed with the patience of a saint.
Once tamed, lead your griffin back home and put it in a safe space to let it passively level up. Once it’s health is at least x3 that of a normal griffin and it’s stamina is at least x2 of its original value, you’re ready to take it out on flights.
Furthermore, breeding griffins will produce better offspring, just like with all other dinos, but again, be armed with the patience of a saint. It takes many real-life days, about 2 weeks is my guess, of nonstop gameplay, for the baby to mature completely. While it is in its baby phase, it must be near its mother to feel secure enough to eat. However, once it is juvenile, it can be moved away from its mother if necessary. Hatching the egg will take at least 5 air conditioners.
TL;DR: Royal griffins are mainly trophy tames, but once trained enough, they are a cross between argentavis for firepower, and tapejaras for flight mobility, with a large aoe attack.
THEY WILL NOT MATE UNLESS THEY HAVE THE SAME SURNAME! I didn't know that when I tamed a pair of Royal Griffins, now I have to go hunt down another low level Griffin that shares one of their last names and is of the opposite sex, then tame that one. Let me make that mistake for you.
Wtf I found one with thèboys as there name lol

Hi guys I'm so happy for taming my first R. Griffin
By using a change name card so cool level 8 griffin 🤩
You need a soothing balm
Toxic bin 100*
Prime raw meet 50*
Voila here is your royalti
Honestly a little too much for just this😐. One, you gotta be level 85 just for SOME to respect you, level 95 for them all to respect you. Should be brought down 10 levels for the respect. They really just speed, not much stamina tho and can’t carry that much either, also they can’t carry that many dinos. Basically a ripoff version of an argy,. They also take forever to tame. Honestly should just either make them worth the wait AND respect or change the requirements for taming.
