How do I tame a crystal wyvern? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a crystal wyvern.
Wyvern Rodeo is best way to tame
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.
When I was egg hunting, I saw this lv. 215 egg!!!! Unfortunately, it wasn't a blood wyvern,it was an ember. But that didn't stop me from taking it. After hatching it, three babies jumped from the egg, I was given triplet lv.215 wyverns!!!! And to top all that off, they were all females!!!! That day I did the happy dance. Such an incredible day.
After you’ve tamed up a breed pair of Crystal wyvs you can breed them. When breeding it does not need a lot of primal Crystal. An easy way to know when you wyv is going to starve is by looking at its food because it’s food drains about 1 food every 1 minute so if the wyv has 1000 food left it will start to starve in 1000 minutes. 1440 minutes in a day so 1440 food is equal to 24 hours before it starts to starve. 🆙 if this was useful
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.
Baby crystal wyvern food drains at 1 food every 50 seconds, so multiply the amount of food the baby has left by 50, then divide it by 60 twice to get the amount of hours you can leave it without food, also, 1 primal crystal gives 350 food, so it adds just under 6 hours (which is primal crystals spoil time)
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 :)

The baby raising timer is off it takes me about 1 hour to 2 for my baby crystal wyverns to grow up so you can just set a timer for an hour-2 hours
When you are riding at the shoulder just go first person prospective then their is lesser chance of dropping.
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.
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.
Just hop on the blood crystal wyvern's back and feed it,you shouldn't fall off
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.
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.
The food drain timer for raising and breeding is food divided by 60. Or 100 food drain per every 1 hour and 34 min. I literally timed it with a stopwatch.
Some crystal wyverns are passive tame with crystal, However, beware the heirs by the tench protecting their eggs.
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 👌
Best way to tame these guys is to gather enough crystals then hop on thier back when they land. Then all you have to do is spam E until you tame it. Just stand perfectly still so uou wont fall
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
