Tips & Strategies
If you want to tame a wyvern, read this:
#1: Get a flyer that has good health, speed, and stamina. (I recommend a pteranodon or griffin for speed or bat for near invisibility at night)
#2: Fly to the Wyvern Trench and land outside of it to regain stamina. But be careful of the wyverns inside.
#3: Drop as much gear as possible before you go in because wyvern eggs weigh a lot.
#4: Get the first egg you see. If you can't find one, leave because the wyverns could kill you. After a bit, you can go back in. (Force new egg spawns by killing nearby dinos or killing wyverns if that doesn't work)
#5: Once you find an egg and grab it, fly out as fast as you can. If wyverns come out of the trench farther than excpected, fly next to a bronto or anything big so the wyverns will attack it instead. (I'd say before you grab the egg, turn your flyer around so you don't waste time turning around after you grab it)
#6: If you escaped successfully, get to your base and place 15-20 torches because wyverns need extreme heat to hatch. Egg Incubators and campfires also work.
#7: Wait a few days for the egg to hatch. Egg Incubators make it take only 30 minutes.
#8: Before the egg hatches, find some female wyverns and milk them by knocking them out because wyverns only eat Wyvern Milk until adulthood.
#9: Once the egg hatches, claim the baby by naming it. Then immediately start feeding it Wyvern Milk. (If the baby won't eat the milk and you're panicking, force feed it the milk)
#10: The maturation will take days but Egg Incubators make it a day and a half.
#11: When the maturation bar is around halfway full of almost full, the wyvern will want either to walk with you, be hand fed, or cuddle, by having a sign above name. I highly recommend do this because it will give 100% imprint. (For example, the pacifier sign means it wants to be hand fed)
#12: Once the taming bar meets 100%, you can finally ride on the wyvern and it doesn't take Wyvern Milk anymore and instead eats meat. (They eat all kinds)
Name tip: If you have a male lightning wyvern, name or Thor or Zeus

People usually try to put the milk in a fridge for to make it last longer. It doesnβt 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 wyvernsβ 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 donβt 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 didnβt know existed, thought it went it 150), annihilated all the angry losers, hatched it, forgot I needed milk and it died, donβt 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 π 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.
You CAN net projectile a wild wyvren
