Encountering Tips

How do I kill a wyvern? wyvern battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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 ;-)
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
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 aren’t 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!
Don’t go to murder snow, I just went and there was 12 ice wyverns from what I could count before I died. Btw Could I kill them with max level fire fully imprinted and a prim saddle giga?
Heres some INFO as we call it..
There are more than one type of wyvern, they are fire, poison, lightning, and soon to be a Crystal Wyvern with the Crystal Isles free DLC coming, they are going to be a passive tame. The types of Crystal Wyverns are base, tropical, blood, and ember.
The wyverns spawn in wyvern dens, and can be found in the Highlands for Ragnarok and the Snow Desert in Valguero (I only do free DLCs).
You tame wuverns by going into the wyvern dens and finding nests with eggs in them. Once you have an egg, they need 10-15 standing torches, 4-5 fireplaces, or 20 (atleast) campfires. Until they are adults, they need Wyvern Milk to survive. That is all they eat until then.
Wyvern milk can be obtained by knocking out a female wyvern and collecting milk from there. Alpha wyverns drop more than normal wyverns.
Wyverns pick up larger dinos than other flyers.
Wyverns can breathe fire for fire wyvern, lightning for lighting wyvern, and poison balls for poison wyvern.
Info!
So I lost seven birds.. I was not prepared.. props to top comment
When you are trying to snatch wyvern eggs use cactus broth so you can fly through the world scar practicly unnoticed until you take the egg
Wyverns are on extinction, they just are not tamable up so the kid who said they aren’t can see
Lat 10 Lon 80 on Valguero.........
All of the high level lightning eggs I’m hatching because I want a breeding pair are all males.😐
I did get a black lvl 180 lightning though, so I’m happy about that. I hope I get a female soon!
I was so dedicated to get a wyvern my first time ever doing it I lost a 109 pteranodon 27 pteranodon a 28 argy and a 62 argy but I got a super good wyvern doing all of that was so worth it
Here’s 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!!!! 🙂+🐲=💀
All 4 types of Wyverns (not including Crystal Wyvern) is in Fjordur, Fire on the main map, Poison in Vanaheim, Ice in Jotunheim, Lightning in Asgard
If you have a great idea about using dragons for the alpha dragon fight. Think again they’re not allowed and you will be sent in by yourself. I guess that means I raise the whole generation of boss killing dragons for no reason.
Stealing an egg is easiest when two people go one carries the other on the mount. If things get bad the carried person throws the egg on the flying mount and lets go...the wyverns will still chase him and not the person on the mount now with the egg.
Lead wyverns out of trenches on mobile there is an over spawn on rag, so many spawn that nests can be filled and some wyverns don’t get to lay eggs. I like to lead them to a diplo or a bronto, but in reality you can lead them to rhinos and mammoths, I have noticed that rhinos entertain wyverns the most as they have literally had an entire 1 minute showdown with a max level lightning wyvern. Most creatures die with in the first few seconds to the wyvern, which is why I say go for rhinos, there is also the option of going to a cave next to the trench bridge. The bridge is a natural one and the cave is only accessible through a climbing creature or a medium to small flier. I can’t guarantee a wyvern won’t fit in there, but the entrance does seem a bit too small. This cave is large with no artifact, it has metal and salt, as well as obsidian and two entrances. The second entrance is quite close to the ground and it usually a wyvern sits outside, the cave is spacious so if the entrance isn’t enough to get the wyvern stuck you can build a gate trap.
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.
