~ BREEDING ~
First thing you need to know about griffin breeding is that they’re finicky. If you ever wanted to replicate what it’s like to raise a pet in real life in ark’s format, this is the best challenge you’ll get.
#1- Babies under 10% maturity refuse food if they’re separated from their mothers. They do not care about the sore, only the dam. After 10%, they’ll start eating from the trough and become independent from their dam.
#2- Once you fully imprint on them using candies, if they don’t reach 10% before the next imprinting time,
They will refuse food if they’re not imprinted on again, despite already being at 100% imprint.
I am not sure if this is accurate for all families of griffin, as this did not happen with my ‘Ra family baby, but it did with my ‘Yss family baby.
#3- Babies, even with toy yo-yos on a maturity boosted server, grow incredibly slowly. To put it in perspective, it only takes 2hrs on a max boosted server w/ yoyo to get a giga to 10%. It takes a griffin about 10-15 hours. HOWEVER, from what I’ve noticed they don’t eat much. They’re very sparing with food and get slots quickly, so they really only need to be sat with for the first hour if you have a good food supply.
#4- Unclaiming any griffin will effectively turn it wild and you will have only 15 minutes to knock it, and wake it up tamed after doing so, before it dies of neglect.
So if you are selling griffins as a part of your admin shop, as I am doing, you’ll want to sell adults by pre-trapping them, completely depleting their food value via stimberries prior to unclaiming, as well as a good amount of biotoxin to help it knock, and then giving your buyer a good longneck with shocking tranq darts and a 15x balm with allo or griffin kibble in order to instant-tame it.
Make sure your buyer is fully prepared and knows the sensitivity of time in re-taming your griffin, and if they do not knock it in time, I suggest doing so yourself.
It may also be wise to pre-collect your griffins implant invade of mishaps.
I hope this helps Dododex mods as well as users! This is all information that I had to find out for myself through experience and through in depth research.
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.
