Tips & Strategies
Yall are gonna think I’m totally lame for some of this, but it’s good for everyone to know how other people go about taming these things.
First, I’m on mobile, and when getting a wyvern proved wayyy too hard on scorched earth, I bought ragnarok specifically to tame one of these. I ground xp, found a good ptero and found the world scar in rag, ventured in and got brutally murdered, even though I had my player resistance up to max so I was “untouchable”, then I met a poison wyvern. Turns out they kill you a different way than the others.
So, I die, thinking it’s all hopeless and sad and I’ll never get a wyvern, so I start to build a teeny little base, then I find out about the crystal cavern… a heavenly place supposedly filled to the brim with wyvern eggs.
I venture in timidly with my only tame(a lvl 212 ptero) and I go searching. Nothing. I narrowly avoid the wyverns in there and I get out alive to try again another day.
Finally, I go again. This time, I hit it! A lvl 55 lightning wyvern egg! Not the level I wanted, but definitely the element I wanted. So I yoink it and leave, barely escaping the clutches of the angry wyverns on my tail.
I set up 16 camp fires and get the egg incubating… now I need to knock a female for milk, cause I can’t use cryopods… not enough keys.
I venture out with my ptero to go find a female… well, they spawn like crazy in front of the crystal cavern as well as inside of it, so I start by leaving my ptero somewhere safe while I go with a standard bow and tranqs to go see if I can knock a female. Well, I get killed by a poison wyvern again, and so does my ptero.
Misery and sadness, and fifteen minutes left on my incubation timer. I go back out with a standard bow in lvl 85 ptero to find an alpha wyvern!!!
I decide I’m going to cheat for this one since I need the milk, and I turn the Dino resistance down to 400000x damage and I use my ptero to knock it out of the sky, killing the ptero in the process. I get my milk, and I literally run all the way back home 1 and a half minutes before my wyvern hatches.
I crafted a preserving bin and now I’ve got 45 milk for my lil baby!
Mind, I cheated slightly,(a lot) just due to wanting one to try it out. I don’t have god console, but I mess with the settings to benefit my player and tames if I need to.
I ground to lvl 100 and i have the most basic tools: stone hatchets and picks and good ole bow and arrow.
I hope you guys enjoy my story. I’m not a regular cheater, mind. I’ve built a very powerful stronghold from scratch before, have tamed gigas and carches the hard way several times, rhynios, you name it. This is my first wyvern!
If you’re having issues finding eggs, the crystal cavern is the only place I’ve found them so far, so try it out. But watch out, wyverns are extremely strong and scary. If I’d been doing it the hard hard way, (the easy way is still realllly hard) it would’ve taken so much longer. These beasts do not get trifled with for no reason.
Good luck, fellow players!!!
More Wyvern Taming & KO Tips
People usually try to put the milk in a fridge for to make it last longer. It doesn’t let you. But I found out that you can put it in a preserving bin. Press that one good button so more people can see.
I got two eggs a fire and a lightning and to hatch I made a House and put a hole lot of fire places and they hatched and how I made the fire house I made it two stories tall and I put fire fill the hole floor I put a ladder so I could go up there make sure you have a lot of wood have fun with your wyvern
READ THIS IF YOU WANT A WYVERN
To have your own wyvern you need to steal its egg, so there is a few things you need to have to go for a wyvern egg:
1. You need a flying dino that is fast and has decent stamina.
2. Locate the wyverns’ cave in any map you play (Ragnarok, Valguero, Scorched Earth, etc.).
3. Go near the cave and stop to regenerate stamina.
4. Try to see hoy many adult wyverns are flying around the cave. If there are too many you don’t have many chances to successfully steal an egg
5. When you are ready, fly into the cave and take the egg (I recommend to take the first one you see, because if you stay too long inside the cave, wyverns might kill you).
6. FLY AS FAST AS YOU CAN TO GET OUT OF THE CAVE.
7. If you can get out alive, you have made the hardest part, but you have still work to do.
8. When you arrive your base, put down and light around 10 or 15 torches in a circle, and place the egg in the middle.
9. Wait for it to hatch.
10. When the egg hatches, you will have to take care of the wyvern until it grows. You have to do the things that the wyvern asks you to do. The hardest one is to give it wyvern milk. To acquire this you need to knock out an adult wyvern or kill an Alfa. BUT THERE IS A MUCH EASIER WAY. If you have cryopods, try taking your wyvern in the cryopod and then let it out. Sometimes it changes the thing that the baby is asking for.
11. Keep doing the things that your wyvern wants until it grows.
12. Congrats! You have a WYVERN!! :)
I tamed a 150 perfect argy, beefed him up to 20k health and 800% damage, straight up yoinked a level 165 wyvern egg(which i didn’t know existed, thought it went it 150), annihilated all the angry losers, hatched it, forgot I needed milk and it died, don’t be me
I got a level 150 lightning egg and I was so excited to hatch the egg...that when I went to put the egg down I accidentally ate it instead. :( ps4 users: R2 ISN'T GONNA DROP THE EGG YOU'RE GONNA EAT IT LIKE ANY OTHER EGG. REMEMBER THIS. LOGIC BEFORE EXCITMENT.
I'll give my two cents on how to raise one without wyvern milk, as it can be difficult for newer players.
ASE: If you don't have the means to kill an alpha or knock out a female for milk, use Daeodons. Make sure their inventory is filled with cooked meat. Once the baby starts losing health from starvation, use Daeodon's healing to keep it alive. I recommend making a cryopod as well, since the baby may ask for milk as an imprint, and this can help reset its need to something else. You can also cryopod it to make more cooked meat for the Daeodon if it runs out and just release it back later. This will not hurt the Wyvern or ruin the imprinting process, just freezes it. Snow Owls are also useful, though if you have a high level one for this then you're probably at a stage where you can at least safely trap a female wyvern anyways.
ASA: Bison milk. Yeah, it's very simple and much easier. Get some bison milk (have a female bison nearby a non-adult for her to passively produce it) before stealing an egg and then it can be used as a replacement for Wyvern milk. No need for Daeodons unless bison aren't on your map and/or you don't have any milk to transfer. In that case then it's back to Daeodons or Snow Owls.
Good luck, and enjoy these beautiful beasts!

If you don't have wyvern milk just tame daeodon so your wyvern will heal and won't die 😊 Press like so more people will know
The highest wyvern egg you can get is 190.get higher level eggs to hatch rather than low levels as high levels have more food and need to eat less often.
LIGHTNING WYVERNS ARE THE BEST 4 STEALING EGGS!!! They can outrun the fire and Poison Wyvern population of the trench and they are immune to lightning breath.
