Encountering Tips

How do I kill a wyvern? wyvern battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
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
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.
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!
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

Compy tamer ;) hehehehhehehhehehehehehhehehehhehehehehhheh
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
Lat 10 Lon 80 on Valguero.........
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
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
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.
Wyverns of the same type can’t be used against each other in pvp.
If you see a lightning wyvern FLY AS FAST AS YOU CAN THEY SHRED YOUR DINOS HEALTH
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.
For people's information. In the lost island
Ice Wyvern location.
Should be in this trench close to the blue obilisk in snow. Apparently the managarmar is found also near there or just in snow areas generally. The Dinoputhecus is found in the red woods and the amargasaurus is found in the snow so far mostly in the I've Wyvern den.
I've spent enough time around why runs in ark tamed or wild to know that these things are overpowered they can be as tall as four players at the normal height there are four kinds of normal wyverns ice, fire lightning, and poison
Fire acts like a flamethrower ice Activa flamethrower if something wasn't too right about it. Let's just say the ice wyverns attack or at least main attack is to shoot out an icy flamethrower. Lightning wyvern to shoot I will beam of electricity that's does a lot of damage. Then we have poison wyverns well they have the side fins of a dilophosaurus and from what I've seen when you look closer at them they always have their mouth open and if you look inside and look directly at its tongue it looks a bit like a snake's tongue.
If you go up aginst a wyvern and your on one if it's the same element you won't take damage
