Tips & Strategies
This is for you if you are in Valguero.
The Ice Wyvern cavern (or at least the estimated middle of it) is at the coordinates Lat: 8.4 and Long: 75.3. You need to get a really high-level flier (such as an argentavis) and fly in there, grab an egg (or multiple!) from a hole in the wall of the cavern (eggs are light blue, and they spawn in nests in SOME holes), then fly back out as fast as you can and the Ice Wyverns get bored and just totally abandon their eggs with a straight face. That is ARK logic. Then, go to an incubator. Put the eggs into the incubator (make sure it’s powered) and go back to death cavern to knock out some female wyverns and collect Wyvern milk. Then go back to incubator (FLY FLY FLY BUDDY) and keep milk in a preserving bin. Then, when the baby hatches, feed it, then cryo it and put it in a cryo fridge. Then, take it out every once in a while (so it doesn’t get cryo sick. It does if you take it out too often.) and feed it. When you have an adult Wyvern, you can feed it meat. No more Wyvern milk. Then, you have an adult Ice Wyvern and you can fly around and stuff!
This is the cool part.
At the end of Ice Wyvern cavern, there is a cave. That cave is a passage to a lava-filled tunnel called Fire Wyvern cave. It’s filled with bugs, lava, and—you guessed it—Fire Wyverns. There are Fire Wyvern eggs in there as well, so you may need to get an Ice Wyvern to go up against the Fire Wyverns. It’s like a game of Floor is Lava. Literally. So you’ve got to fly into the cavern, fly through the tunnel with your Ice—wait a second, do they even fit into the tunnel? Maybe just take a high-level argentavis with loads of health. Taming one is pretty easy. See how to tame one on the Argentavis page! Fly into the cavern (don’t get lost!) and grab some eggs. Then go back the way you came and go back to the incubator. Do the exact same thing you did with the Ice Wyvern, with the cryopod and all that. Don’t worry about trying to grab milk from a Fire Wyvern, all Wyvern milk is the same. Plus, the Ice Wyvern cavern has less lava everywhere.
Do not worry about trying to craft a Wyvern saddle, that doesn’t exist ingame. Just hop on your adult Wyverns and fly around blasting stuff. Fire Wyverns have fire breath and Ice Wyverns have ice breath because ARK just had to do the most basic, obvious superpower ever. Thanks ARK. With this method, then you don’t have to use a Tek Transmitter to transport Wyverns from Scorched Earth or Ragnarok, you can just raise some on the spot!

DO NOT USE A LYAMANTRIA YOU WILL DIE EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO STEAL ITS EGG
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.
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.
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.
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
