Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a royal griffin? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a royal griffin.
if youre taming these,never use prime meats. use allo kibble and soothing balm instead.
i see a lot of people complaining how long to tame these thing with prime meats,such waste.
Basics: 3 ways to earn respect: Be lvl 85-95, wear golden crown(Need Primal Pass), or have the same pronouns as it at the end of your name (Examples: -mu, -lot, -an)
Once you have found a Griffin you want, build a row of 4 stone dinosaur gateways with reinforced gates. Lead the Griffin into the trap by using a tame(Preferably a flyer) and shut the gates. And with that, the Griffin is trapped.
My suggestions. Tame low level ones before a high level one(High levels take forever to tame, so you’ll want Griffin Egg Kibble instead of Allosaurus Egg Kibble.
Fun Facts: Griffins will only mate with other Griffins of the same family as them.
You can use weapons on the backs of Griffins, which can be useful for taming Quetzals
Griffins don’t need saddles
A non-tamed Griffin that respects you will deal less damage than non-respectful ones
Griffins are cannibals.
If you sleep next to it, the torpor rises and it eats two kibble.
When taming I usually go through a couple stacks of biotoxin
Just keep letting it wakeup and when it wakes up let it regain health and then knock it and remember don't feed it, soit will get hungry and when you give it food it will be tamed faster, do this to other knockout tames to make taming faster and so you don't need to restart if it wakes up
How to tame a high level Griffin:
1. Look for a low lvl female griffin (Like a lvl 5 or 10 or whatever)
2. Knock it out and tame with allo kibble or prime meat (Or whatever u prefer)
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 but then with a male (Oh and both ur griffins need the same surname!)
4. Buy a carnivore pheromone
5. Put the pheromone in ur female and breed them
6. Get the egg and make super griffin kibble
7. Look for a high lvl griffin, knock it out and tame it (Use a 10× soothing balm! I tamed a lvl 150 griffin with only one super kibble and a soothing balm!)
Thats it!! Good luck and have a nice day <3
Just to clear some things about them:
You have to be respected to tame one of these, the methods of getting respect go as follow:
You have to be level at least 85 for the lower level ones to respect you
Or level at least 95 for all of them to respect you
Or the last two or three letters (depends on griffin) of your name has to match the griffins, but this only works if you are level 40 or higher for this to work, if you want to know a list of griffin name ending just search up “ark griffin suffixes” or something along the lines of that.
They take any meat (except fish I think) so you can use that but it is highly not recommended to do so since it can take a whole real life day. So they take Allosaurus kibble, or griffin kibble. So I recommend taming two low level griffins to get the griffin kibble since the allo kibble will take forever also.
Ok this is the last point I know it’s long, when breeding griffins they can only mate with griffins with the same name ending (same essentials as before) so keep that in mind, and the baby griffin will die if the mum or grandmother are not close.
Ok that’s the basics of the royal griffin, I know that was long, but have fun taming them
You need to be level 85 for some griffins and level 95 for all griffins
ok so why does this need to respect me?
like my giga doesnt even know my pteranodon but does he attack it? no.
Looks like your going to have to farm the hunter cave. It’s basically impossible to do without soothing balm
The most time consuming creature to tame
been playing since 2019(I think) and only just taming one. I recommend using bio toxin instead of narcotics. Easier to get, especially since with God console you can just give yourself a ton.
How to get a high lvl griffin
Method one: Get 2 super low lvl griffins and breed them, then save up amber on daily prisuits to get snake plant seeds. Then you can make griffin kibble/super griffin kibble from the low lvl griffin eggs. Then tame a high lvl griffin with griffin kibble, also kibble and 10x/15x balm
Method two: cage a high lvl griffin, knock it out, let it starve, let it wake, let it heal, repeat until it’s food is super low, then tame it with a 10x/15x balm and allo kibble
Why are griffins with the surname ‘an’ so rare. I changed my name to aikan and now I have 0 amber. But griffins with the surname ‘ric’ are so common. Kind of wish I wrote ERIC and all griffins with ‘ric’ will respect me.✌️
Reccomend a trap, and not using normal narcs but bio toxin instead. Which makes the basil a must have tame. And use only tranq darts to the face. But with the new update instead of following you the bastards circle around you, and slap your arse. Also complete nutjobs. Be careful y’all.
Y’all if u need this guy the easiest way to tame them is kibble but that’s kinda hard sometimes so I used UNCOOKED prime meat and soothing balm :) also they (on mobile) only live in one mountain near the top/middle left side
Hope this helped <3
Griffins take A LONG time to eat, so if you don't want to sit and wait, ( if you have god console ) boost the speed to 400x and it will be a super fast tame. And FYI god console is ONLY on mobile.
These things wake up fast

Here are some tips I learnt from taming these,
1. Always starve it for a while before putting allo kibble in, for a level 9 I recommend starving for maybe 55 minutes, a level 5 would need to be starved around 25-30 minutes or else it would eat very slow and may take longer than an hour.
2.NEVER give it all the allo kibble at once, unless you know it’s the exact amount needed dont put it all in!!! Only put half the amount you have, a level 10 would need maybe 15 kibble, a level 5 around 10 kibble, griffins will eat all the kibble even when tamed!! Don’t put all kibble in griffin they will eat until they’re full or out of food, food being the extra kibble.
3.DONT use narcotics, if you can feed it bio toxin every time torpor starts getting a bit too low, usually narcotics make effectiveness go down.
4.Never use griffin to go into battles unless it’s a really high level, 70+ griffins glitch a LOT and it makes them vulnerable so until you have heaps of stam, heaps of health, and heaps of melee dont go into a fight! You don’t want your griffin dead!!
5.To knock out griffin I use a small trap and 30 tranq, I don’t usually require 15 unless I miss a lot of shots, unless it’s a high level above 20 you may need a bit more, it’s best to be prepared with 25 extra tranq.
Anyways yea I’m not a author so this probably doesn’t make any sense but here ya go. that’s all
(Will only work For god mode players only) If you set the speed to 400 then you can tame it with raw meat in 63 mins (while also using the level trick every now and then)
