This is going to be your all-in-one tip for crystal wyverns.

Firstly, the variants and where they can be found. Crystal Wyverns in general are only found in the crystal isles map.

Tropical Crystal Wyvern: probably one of, if not the top favorite here. It spawns in the beautiful southwest beaches (I’ve primarily found them on the most southwest island) and they look bright blue. They have a breath attack that spits water and does damage over time. Also, once tamed they get a hydrated buff when touching water much like a spin-off would. Which increases speed, making this the fastest wyvern. But also buffing damage, etc.

Blood Crystal Wyvern: A health stealing Wyvern which lives in the middle area of the map ( around 55, 33 ) you can tell if you are in the right place if there are red crystals in the biome. It’s only ability is it’s breath attack. It siphons health from the target. But other than that, nothing too special.

Ember Crystal Wyvern: found in the east area of the map in the areas rich with orange crystal and forest, these wyverns ability is that they are practically just like the normal fire Wyvern you would find on other maps, except it does more damage the more you use it.

How do you tame these?

Crystal Wyverns are a passive tame. Meaning you don’t knock them out ( but as you will see we still have to, if you are familiar with getting Wyvern milk then you will get it. )

They can be tamed with your normal crystal, found in abundance or primal crystal ( the much more preferred taming food. ) to retrieve primal crystal, you must knock out a crystal Wyvern (it can be any type and it can be a male or female) the higher the level the more primal crystal you will get once knocked out, you have to just interact with its unconscious body to retrieve them. Keep in mind these spoil in 40~ minutes and there is no way I know of to preserve them.I recommend a lvl 80ish because any higher and you will get too many crystals and they will spoil before you can use them, when I knocked a 140 out it gave me 26 crystal and I only tamed two before it spoiled. You can’t tame crystal Wyverns fully with normal crystal, you need at least some primal crystal, otherwise it won’t even tame. Unless its a low level on a boosted server.

To start the taming process. Simply approach the wyvern ( they won’t attack you unless you attack them unlike normal wyverns. ), then try and get on its back while it’s landed. It can be a bit weird but I’ve done it many times on official smalls. I think that jumping on the wing then moving up to the back works best. Go prone while your on the back. Make sure you have your crystal, and start taming. Feed it, and it will fly but since your on its back you will stay with it and you can still feed it in the air, if your on the ground you have to wait for it to land which could take a while, hence getting on the back (also it’s cool). Once you feed it the first time depending on the level, it will take along time for the second feed but be patient and after that it’s the easiest tame.

Extra things to note:

There are Heir Crystal Wyverns, these are Wyverns that are found in the desert in a cave and they are untamable, but if you head into the cave you can steal one of their eggs, like the classic method.

Lastly is the crystal Wyvern queen, the boss of crystal isles. It is one of the only boss arenas that lets you bring flyers.

I know this was a bunch of info so I recommend remembering this tip as it likely will answer your questions.

I hope I taught you something, and good luck getting your own Crystal Wyverns, Survivors! - Layth
