More Wyvern Encountering Tips
Bring lots of shock tranq darts and long neck rifle... maybe 2 or 3 shots to take down a wyvern, but they are back up very fast (less than 45 seconds). Get the first egg you see and then run. AFTER it hatches, go back to get the milk. If you get the milk before it hatches, it will spoil because it can't be refrigerated. Female wyvern give you 5 milk... this should be all you need.
Poetic wyvern information:
The wyvern is a lizard of the air,
To tame it's fury,
You must enter their burning lair,
It has three kinds: one's stormy one's toxic and one's fiery,
To enrage them is a deadly thought,
But if successful will not amount to nought,
If you find the glowing stone,
From Inside will come flesh and bone,
And lightning, venom, or fire,
But do not sink into the burning mire,
To get this treasure,
It does not bring pleasure,
It enjoys a nest of burning flame,
And milk of the beast from which it came,
But if you manage the impossible feat,
The wyverns's fury is now yours to tame,
If you hatch wings of thunder,
Your aim may often blunder,
But with its power,
It could topple the highest tower,
If you hatch wings of acid,
Your shot may miss,
But after that the air is no longer placid,
If you hatch wings of fire,
Your range is weak,
But your power is dire,
To fight posion wyverns use a gas mask.
Do not fly in a straight line when escaping as they have a horrible turning radius. Try getting them stuck behind things in the environment.
Rip people trying to steal an egg after the flyer nerf ;-)
For the new players:
Ice wyverns freeze you which slows you down but it is the weakest wyvern
Fire wyvern does burn damage over time with breath attack
Poison wyverns can be very dangerous as their breath attack ignores armor
Lightning wyverns are the strongest wyvern in the game, however their breath attack costumes a lot of stamina
Tropical crystal wyverns arenβt the best for mele but they get a boost when touching water
Blood crystal wyverns heal themselves when they hit tigers with their breath attack
Ember crystal wyverns are similar to fire wyverns with the same breath attack
-Hope this helps!
When you search for eggs try to always take another person and eat cactus broth to help you be noticed less. Dont forget to give your bird cactus broth also. Very important
Let me just say, the only flyers that can easily outrun and out tank one of these is another wyvern. When you run, do NOT fly straight ahead. They are faster and stronger than you and donβt run out of stamina. I highly suggest stealing any wyvern egg that you can find, and then use that wyvern to go egg hunting instead.
Use a ptero or moth with lvls pumped into speed, stam and health and use that to at least get you to an egg.
Having your bird die over a body of water, or even dismounting into the water can be a potential lifesaver, too.
Good luck!
All of the high level lightning eggs Iβm hatching because I want a breeding pair are all males.π
I did get a black lvl 180 lightning though, so Iβm happy about that. I hope I get a female soon!
Hereβs how to tell the difference between fire,ice,poison,and lightning.
Fire is usually red and/or black with horns where ears should be. Ice is white, light blue, and on rare occasions a light purple they also have basically a trike frill of horns.Lightning is purple and/or dark blue, also they do not have horns but weird ear frill things. Finally poison, they are always green no matter what shade also they have dillophosour frills. If you see any of them and are under level 80 or have very strong creatures/weapons/tribesmates, RUN!!!! π+π²=π
