What are tips for wyvern? Tips and strategies for wyvern in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I noticed Dododex recommended “ideal temperature” when hatching Wyvern eggs is inflated! I believe it says 176-194 •F. I’m using 7 A/C units and the temperature is 94 •F
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
Baby food drain begins at 300 food per hour and drops by exactly 30 points linearly for every 10% of growth
See below hourly consumption for every 10% of growth:
- 0% = 300
- 10% = 270
- 20% = 240
- 30% = 210
- 40% = 180
- 50% = 150
- 60% = 120
- 70% = 90
- 80% = 60
- 90% = 30
I have even created a excel spreadsheet for myself that does a live countdown on food drain, taking into account how long a baby will be in each 10% phase and its respective food drain and how long its current food will last. It is VERY accurate.
From what I have witnessed this is the same for Rockdrakes, although I haven't had a chance to properly test it yet
Go invisible on a bat and hop off next to the egg and start teleport after the teleport is almost done grab the egg
Trust me use a griffin for this they are so good for getting eggs especially since they can dive bomb
You could put turrets down so while you leave the turrets can shoot them down
IMPORTANT:
Wyvren eggs weigh 50 kg, so make sure that you have decent weight
I'm assuming if youre looking for tips you have already tried this yourself and it aimt going to well, and even if you haven't tried yet here's a run down.
1. Getting the egg.
Wyvern eggs are not to complicated to get, dont try on an argie or you will die. But on a pteranadon, Griffin, or tropegnathus, you can get as many eggs as you want. I know the tropeo can be annoying to tame but griffins are pretty simple and work fantastically.
2. Incubation.
Im not sure exactly how many A/C are needed to incubate a wyvern egg but I would set up a minimum of 15. Build the structure 2 walls high so that you can put celings above your A/C units. Place the egg on the celings as if its placed on the floor the wyvern might glitch into the foundations.
3. Feeding.
The method of getting milk can be tricky so there's always the alternative of getting a Daeodon and setting them to offset the starvation by healing the wyvern. If not just build a trap of 4 behemoth gateways and preferably a keypad.
How to tame a Wyvern!
First, let’s prepare!
What you need: A fast flyer; a pteranodon will work, but put a lot of points in stamina.
Some points in fortitude; it is very hot in the Wyvern trench.
How to tame
Fly to the Wyvern trench and find a nest. Make sure no Wyverns are nearby so they don’t aggro on you. Be very quick and fly down to the nest, dismount, grab the egg, and get the heck out of there!! Once you take the egg, every Wyvern will aggro on you and follow you for hundreds of meters. If you are on ragnarok then you can fly to the redwoods and use the trees to trap the Wyvern. It also doesn’t matter the level of Wyvern yet, because you can always come back once you have a full grown Wyvern and get actual good eggs.
Now that you have an egg, you now need to hatch and raise it. I would put down standing torches in a semi circle then light it up one by one until it starts incubating. Once hatched, you will then need Wyvern milk to feed it or it will die. To do this you need to find a female Wyvern and knock it out. In its inventory there will be Wyvern milk that you can take and feed it to your Wyvern. I would recommend the universal flyer trap, the stone gateway (Behemoth stone gateways) trap. If you don’t want to do this you can use a snow owl to heal it up too. Imprinting will also sometimes need milk also.
Now for some neat utilities!
Wyverns come in 4 different types, fire, lightning, poison, and ice. Each has their own abilities based on their type. They can pick up other Dino’s up to the size of an allosaurus.
Now you have tamed a Wyvern!

To get milk easily watch captain fat dog trap on YouTube it works quite well
Get in grab egg and get out fast
People, in order to kill these effectively , all you need is a tactic and an Argy,
Your Argy should have atleast 15k or more health and good stamina and some points into attack damage if you want this to be quicker
Go in steal an egg you want, and begin to fly to the top, if a wyvern is chasing you, do not panic in the slightest, if multiple wyverns are chasing you, again, don’t panic.
Wyverns have horrible turn radius so you must use that to your advantage, begin flying around in circles try to in better measure, tail-ride them and attack , when done right they won’t be able to hit you and if they can, they won’t use their elemental attack only bites.
Again If multiple are on you at once some may fire at you, try and dodge the attacks while still circling as best you can, don’t stop biting.
, if the one that you’re not focusing on is a poison wyvern or lightning wyvern however, shift your focus on them,chances are any fire wyvern chasing you won’t hit you compared to the chances of non focused lightning and occasional fatal for the player poison to hit you,
trust me when I say I’ve fought off multiple like this and won with barely any damage inflicted on my Argy or me,
This applies to Ragnarok only:
On the far west side of the Wyvern Trench there are usually an egg or two in the first couple of holes in the wall.
The coordinates (47.0, 51.4) (42.7, 55.4) (44.4, 58.8) and (33.5, 66.8) contain Ice Wyvern eggs. I can confirm the first and last have eggs, while I have only heard that the other two contain them.
Make a zeppelin and build a box on top of it. Next get a oviraptor on follow just behind you inside said box. Fly over to a nest and land on the nest and stop driving the zeppelin. Turn around and take egg from oviraptor without aggroing wyverns then fly and repeat.
Wyverns may occasionally still aggro but they don't stop after awhile your zeppelin can take the hits and hopefully get close to wild dinos to get wyvern to aggro on them.
Aside from that only risk is if oviraptor clips through zeppelin if not careful.
You can give the wyvern babies bison milk. Tame a few bison and you are set
The way I get eggs on Ragnarok is I fly down into the trench on a griffin and I have my tribemate on the side of the trench wait on a rex. When I get an egg I fly up towards the rex and it kills the wyverns then I go back down into the trench and repeat. Hope this helps sorry for the bad grammar.
