Tips & Strategies
Finding these guys n gals can be a task but i found a op method to tame them. You'll need two people for this method but it works like a champ every single time. Go fly out on the skiff. When you notice a void "you'll know when it sneaks up on you and destroys your building" but fly above him or her. Add some distance between you and it but not to much so that the beam on skiff can't beam it. Once you beam it. Have a buddy use the minigun to bring its health down. Now you have two options. You either bring its health down to the 10% which sometime it fights back. Or you can bring its health down to about 200 to 300. This will cause it to run away. So go underneath the plateforms in lunar with skiff. Have your ceiling touching the bottom of platform. Once you release it the void will try flying away. Sense you are under the platform awith a lith it cant run. Now jump on and have a field day. Gl hope this helps.
More Voidwyrm Taming & KO Tips
The voidwyrm, or Tek wyvern is a pain to tame.
Firstly, you need mutagen, and a lot of it for a high level. On my 5X taming servers, it was roughly 4% per feed.
To actually tame them, you need to do the following:
1) find the creature. They are always in space, and have the most probability of appearing at the top of the spawn zones in Space. Look around the asteroids at the North and South ends, that's where I tend to find them.
2) you need to take it down to below 10% of it's health, where it will start glowing blue. It's breath attack is annoying because it stuns you for 5 seconds, and it breathes on you like a person with Halitosis does on the bus.
3) once it's health is down, you need to get close and ride it like you would an equus. The mutagen should be in slot 0 because every time it does a "barrel roll", you should be feeding it.
I haven't found a way to not get bucked off 2-3 times, depending on the level, and if it aggros Astrodelphis, they can slow you down and allow it to get away and heal. It heals pretty fast, not as fast as a reaper though.
Using the creature... It's a Tek variant wyvern. It's breath attack doesn't seem to do damage, but it has a stun effect that let's you get a few free chomps. The longer you hold the breath action button, the more stamina you burn, so only hold it long enough to immobilise your victim
Baby Voidwyrms will eat meat out of troughs and maewings
Go and watch nooblets YT Video. Heβs got a easy way
People never read non-violent incorrectly. It doesnβt mean it isnβt hostile, it means you donβt beat it into unconsciousness as it tries to run away because it knows youβre about to halfway murder it, non-violent in this case is a bull ride.
Nonviolent my ass, if you have a tek rifle use it but if you don't then use a fabricated sniper
Use mutagel in chem bench turn it into mutagen. Put mutagen into hot bar. Ride the voidwyrm , Do a barrel on voidwyrm to tame. Thank me later
So every time I try to tame one it flies to the middle of the map Flys in a circle and dies to invisible acidπ it also completely ignores me and just gets itself killed. This happen to anyone else?
Contrary to what you may hear, the Voidwyrm is one of the simplest creatures to tame in ARK. The issue is attempting such a thing without decent bait and strategies.
Now for the tips themselves, so here we go:
1- Humans don't make good baits. We have relatively low health and can't shoot while stunned. Spoilers: You need to hurt the Wyrm, oh, and it also can stunlock you to death if you are not careful enough. Tames with high HP (20k+) and OK saddles (40+) are enough to even the hardest hitting of their tames.
2- They can and will destroy all kinds of structures. Trapping them with man-made structures is almost impossible, and baiting with structures is impractical, unless you get lucky enough to trap them a corner. Another spoiler: They not always spawn near natural map structures, and kiting them isn't very pleasant...
3- They can steamroll your precious Hover Skiff. Any and all Voidwyrms instantly destroy Hover Skiffs, no mercy will be shown. As Skiffs are the fastest way to search for such a (now) very rare creature, it's advised that you tame them where they spawn, and place your Skiff away from the area.
4- They take reduced damage from TEK weapons; This, however, can and should be used to your advantage, as they need to be brought at very low health to be tamed. Below 10%, to be precise.
TL;DR: Let your creature tank it, carefully shoot them, mount when ready, use Mutagen when they roll. Repeat any of these when needed if bucked off.
Finding them is now the real pain. If you use the Wiki Spawn Map, uncheck the "Space_Gen2" box. You are VERY unlikely to find them in these areas. To the ones that don't: stay to the West of 50 Longitude.
In any case, try to stay at more or less the level of the bridges.
You cannot tame this creature outside of the space zone.
Bringing it into one of the main biomes will give you a message saying it needs to be in space.
Finally it will let me give you the best tip on taming one these bad boys all you need is a net gun and a shotgun mutagen and bam easy to tame after that
