Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a crystal wyvern? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a crystal wyvern.
Here’s how I tame my Tropical Wyverns:
1: Get crystal, I recommend a stack, just in case.
2: find your desired wyvern.
3: get on the back of said wyvern, this May take a few tries and I recommend wearing ghillie as you do.
4: start feeding from on the back of the wyvern, try not to fall off or get pushed off.
5: bam! There’s your wyvern! You’re welcome :)

Wyvern Rodeo is best way to tame
If you can hop on its back
It makes it go much faster
You can climb it’s wing crouch on its neck and feed it make sure you don’t move until it’s tamed or you might fall off.
CRYSTAL ISLES: Bring extra crystal just in case it glitches and you need to restart taming it. To get on it’s back land next to it on a flyer and whistle it to follow then jump up the wing and lay down in between the shoulders. That way when it flies straight up or down you will be good to go.=)
Some crystal wyverns are passive tame with crystal, However, beware the heirs by the tench protecting their eggs.
Ill just sum it all up.
So for starters you need to be lvl 65 to passive tame them. I recommend 4 stone gateways for extra safety but 2 will do just fine. Simply place one in front and one behind it. If you want primal crystal and tame the one youre taking from, simply after taking primal crystals let him kill you and eat your body so that it will de aggro. Destroy the gateway traps if you were using them so it can reach your body. After that follow it, jump on its back, lay down and voila you got yourself a perfect tame. You might take some time to look around as there are usually some already placed traps with wyverns traped so you have some easy crystal.
Laying down is almost a 100% succes, unless like it happened to me, it decides to dive bomb straight into water. Keep some parachutes just in case.
As for raising baby's, piece of cake. My 215's came out with over 1400 food so they last over a full day with that. 2-3 times feeding with 2-3 primal's and youre set.
Tricky but effective taming method
Build three stone dinosaur gates (only need two but three to be safe)
Find one that's on the ground and place a gate in its path, quickly try to place a second gate as close as possible behind its shoulders. If you position correctly when it tries to fly away it will be stuck between the two gates.
Nearby, but not too close, build a foundation, bed and chest
Now tranq the wyvern to knock it out, keep distance so it doesn't hit you with breath attack
Once knocked out harvest its prime crystals
Pop everything in your chest
Let it wake up, it'll be aggro, let it kill you
Respawn at the bed and it shouldn't be aggro anymore (if it is respawn outside of render and fast travel to the bed), grab your stuff out the chest and feed it its own prime crystals
Success 👌
No one has mentioned this but for a safe way to tame just grapple to the neck (safest spot) then just feed it primal crystal
If you have enough primal crystals, you can tame the one you knocked out and took them from. It will
aggro when it wakes up, but as soon and you leave render distance you can come back and it'll be docile again. Or you can just please a sleeping bag nearby and let it kill you when it wakes up.
Never done it before but you can grapple on it using a cross bow and feed it while it is flying. Al long as you done hit it and the line doesn't snap you will be good
When you are riding at the shoulder just go first person prospective then their is lesser chance of dropping.
Its Extremely easy to tame it, I flund a trick where if you climb up ots tail and sit on its back (normally where you would be sitting if tammed) and you feed it crystal, once it flies in the air it will not kick you off, you will be able to tame it quicker and easier.
The initialization of feeding is tye longest when taming. All the other has a 20 second interval between them, not 34,as the Dododex suggests.
Sit behind the noticeable big bum on your stomach facing forward. If you sit on the hump you will get knocked off it the Wyvern flys into stuff as long as you are behind the hump you will not get knocked off, save players.
I incubate my eggs and it takes about 30 mins to hatch and then up to 2 hours to grow up but I recently found out about the command “setbabyage” if you have commands available then I recommend doing it and if you add a space then one after age then it will be grown up all the way it won’t be at full health so I would recommend do GMBuff when you get on it to heal it

Whenever you feed them to tame, they take off flying no matter what. Either be grabbled or standing on it's back when this happens.
You can raise these on 3x with no food till fully grown adult. No food necessary. They hatch with enough food to not die. They will eat a ton once grown but as long as it's 3x or higher you dont need any food. If you're worried you can heal them at the end with a snow owl and just watch their health.
To the guy that posts the tip to grapple its neck, he is wrong. The grapple will do Argo and if that doesn’t kill you, if agrees it can’t be tamed.
You can tame these very easily using normal crystals. Jump on their back and go prone between the shoulder blades and they wont buck you off when they take flight. Then just spam E.
