If you can hop on its back
It makes it go much faster
Recently tamed my first crystal wyvern. Went to a premise trap, tranq’d an heir, took the crystal from its head, ran to despair it from the trap and repeated one more time to acquire enough prime crystal.
Turned to the tropical beach, Brought a crossbow and a grapple hook. Waited for the wyvern to land, jumped on its wing then shot it between the shoulder blades with the grapple hook. I’m on console so I pressed left trigger to give the grapple some slack in case I fell off and was able to feed it all the crystal needed.
Once it tames, I just pressed ‘y’ to ride it and left the area.
Hope this helps!
Sit on the base of the neck and whatever you do, do not touch the left stick. I can caych any level given enough crytstal and fortitude.
Jump on its wings then on its back and lay down on its back and feed it crystal
When taming one, jump onto its back. That way when it takes off after the first feed you can keep feeding it without losing it (Fact came from Nooblets on Yt)
Go for embers before trips at wipe day
there are 3 different sub species of crystal wyvern
Tropical crystal wyvern: Breathes a water cannon attack that just does damage, and it can also get a hydrated stat buff when in water, can be found in the tropical forest area in crystal isles( bottom left )
Blood crystal wyvern: breathes a health draining ability that drains enemy health and gives it to you, can be found in the rocky crystal mountains( middle towards the left has big orange and red crystals )
Ember crystal wyvern: breaths a fire breath that does more damage the more you use it on one enemy, can be found in the forest volcano with the red trees around the base of the volcano you'll see it has small red Crystal's
Note: all type of crystal wyverns can also be found in egg form in the crystal wyverns cave in the desert area guarded by crystal wyvern heirs which are untamebale and also the only crystal wyvern which can exceed level 215+
Note: You cannot attempt to KO while on the back of the wyvern. The wyvern just makes you slide off the back like a bronto on the back of a quetzal.
Use chain bolas, then shoot at it from a distance as they can still use their breath take primal crystals then either get away or kill it so it doesn't aggro on you
Crystal Wyverns are the only tameable and friendly type of wyvern.
They are passive tames and can be found anywhere
1. In the desert (the desert ones aren't tameable tho BUT they lay eggs)
2. Near the south west of crystal isles (tropical variant)
3. In the volcanic area (ember variant)
4. In the forest near the center of the map (blood variant)
But heres how to get a crystal wyvern:
1. You can feed them crystal but you can more easily tame them using primal crystal which is only obtained from alpha variants of crystal wyvern.
3. Recommended that you stand on their back bc they are fast and can land far away if you are on the ground
4. Feed them and they're yours.
(Btw near the cave of the desert area there is a wyvern nest)
Terrifying
It took me an hour to get primal crystal if ur raising a baby crystal wyvern start looking for crystal early and put them in its inventory the spoil time is around 5 and a half hours in the wyvern’s inventory
Higher level crystal wyverns give more prime crystals when slept. Use gates to trap and sleep. When taming you can grapple hook their back to avoid being clipped off while shoulder riding. Prime Crystal expires fast, so get it as quickly as possible before taming.
You can grapple hook em, and hold on until it is tamed.
I kinda a advanced noob
But for all the fresh noobs honestly the waiting till it stop and running up the wing n I lay on the shoulder
EASY
JUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO MOVE TO MUCH OR U WILL FALL
Passive tame good
If you play with friends someone drive you feed, if you play alone Use a hook in it then feed it until tamed
