Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a wyvern? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a wyvern.
You actually don’t need very much all you need is a crossbow with like 200+ tranq arrows which is’nt very hard to get if you mid tier level (this is for the milk) and you need a pteranodon with a lot of stamina health and movement speed preferably a lvl 100 at least then you need to find the closest cavern which would be at the end where the deepest part is btw and then recharge your stamina outside the cavern and go in with the pt I did it that way
For me I was playing solo on the valguero map and I got an ice wyvern yesterday, didn’t need to give it milk just hatched the egg ( which took about 20 standing torches) to tame it I use raw prime meat and raw meat stuffed itt in his inventory and imprinted. If you are playing valguero map on a console they are really hard to kill because of their freeze ability but what I did was I used an argentavis and made it overpowered so I could one shot wyverns. Don’t spend hours trying to get wyvern milk just give the baby raw meat and raw prime meat.
As long as it is over level 2. You will not need the milk. If it is level 1 it will lose just a small bit of health. Ps I play single player. It might be different on a online sever. (Wish I would have known that.) Oh well… hope this helps.
Whatever you do get a high level I got a lvl 10 wyvern and its stamp I'd so trash it died too a lvl 30 mantis
You need two wyvers the same color, same type, male and female and mate them, mate their children down the line and eventually you will get a color mutation 😀👍🏼
These guys are so useful but also take so much to get. If you want one you’ll probably want to get the egg(s) ahead of time, and then set apart a day or two dedicated to looking after them while they hatch and grow. Always have milk on hand (gotten by knocking out female wyverns of any type), it can’t be put in a fridge however, so make sure you have a working preserving bin or three to keep it (and unless you’re hatching 3-4 wyverns, some of it will spoil even in the preserving bin, so make sure your supply isn’t gone by the time you want to use it). Usually on servers a wyvern trap will be built near their spawn and it can be quite easy to lead them in with a fast flier (I recommend a pteranodon) and knocked down with tranqs. The milk can be found in their inventory (usually regular female wyverns will have 5, however if you manage to kill an alpha of any gender you can get 50) and used whenever the baby/juvenile/adolescent wyvern gets hungry.
People say you need a daeodon if you want to raise a wyvern without milk. If you are on singe player or your own sever just up the maturation rate i always do thia for wyverns. Up if you do this
Raising one of these can be simple or very difficult depending on what your looking for. Normally players do 1 of the 4 ways you can tame large wyverns
1) Hatch em and feed it wyverns milk, not very effective if your looking for PvP stats, and can be very expensive if your trying to tame multiple wyverns
2) Simply trading with other players, very effective for PvP stats since you can choose what states you want but finding the right seller can be tricky, again tgis can be really expensive as some players... May ask for your pinpal account no joke
3) Only works if you have access to a large wyvern and a cloning station. You can simply clone an exact duplicate of any wyvern or tame in your possession. Not the fastest way to accumulate wyverns and it's by far the most expensive, but if the stats are nice well this might be what your looking for.
4) Snow owl exploit. Experts only, "breeding"... This is by far the best method to doubling your large wyverns and it's also the fastest and cheapest way possible. Let's say you have breed wyverns and hatched them. Now your stuck with 3 new born lightning wyverns and have no access to wyverns milk and they are going to starve to death, what do you do? Well it just so happens they can't die if there health never reaches zero. Well you simply need to heal them occasionally with a snow owl.
Say what you want
Is it worth keeping an eye on the health meter?
Yes it is, if you don't want them dead
Do you have to be there every second?
No, more like every hour depending on how much health they have, it can be every 2 hours and so fourth.
How much does it cost for this method?
Gas and Raw Meat
A little gas for your AC units and some raw meat for your owl. In other words absolutely nothing.
quick tip: PRESSING THE HEAL BUTTON AND THE DISMOUNT BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME WHILE RIDING AN OWL. YOUR OWL WILL START HIS HEALING SKILL AND YOU'LL DISMOUNT AT THE SAME TIME. A FREEBEE FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH THINGS TO DO. SOO BECAREFUL NOT TOO FREEZE YOUR SELF AND GOOD LUCK ARK FRIENDS!!!! HLAD TOO HELP
Please don't get a poison wyvren because you just hit yourself with the poison ball and kill yourself when landed on the ground! XD
When stealing their eggs, don’t even consider doing it with a Pteranodon or a Tapejara unless you’re one of the most skilled pilots in the game. Argys are decent for stealing (pump up health + stamina), but the best creature to get eggs is with Griffins and Snow Owls.
Get each type, breed the heck outta them, bring them over to pvp server, you have to options
1.) have 4 guarding you while riding one, conquer server and become tyrant
2.) Bring a lot over, breed the heck outta them there too, become king of server because you trade wyverns for resources, tribe status/permission to join tribe. You also create task were ppl have to steal eggs, raise, then give them to you to join, so they swear loyalty.
Best way to grind wyvren eggs it’s to watch nooblets stealing crystal wyvren eggs, I built one and the entire server uses it. It works for wyvrens and crystal wyvrens! Good luck building that wyvren army!
One way to get a good wyvern if you don’t have the creatures to search the wyvern trench for hours on end to find a high lvl is to steal the fist egg you see, if you are a server owner or are on single player, raise the growth rate so it grows up before starving, on official you can use daeodons to keep the baby alive. Once the wyvern grows up you now have a faster and tankier flyer than a pteranodon to steal the eggs with and get a good lvl.
The max egg me and my friend found was 180 in a server, we think the max level for the eggs increased
Non-common core math for feeding time:
Divide food value by 360 = time in hours until starving.
3 air cons is usually enough to incubate an egg and for a good trap simply place behemoth gates! Its that simple and you will also want a low lol female so u don't waste tranqs
Be careful when using a pteranodon the eggs way 50 pounds And pteranodons don’t have the best weight. So you will go slower and the wyvern can catch up with you and kill you. I recommend A griffin or a snow owl
Guys you DO NOT need Wyvern milk to keep it alive, if in valguero (not sure about other maps) just take up a daedon, give it loads of cooked meat and heal it when it starts getting damaged. Did this with a level 97 on official
I've got a lightning and fire wyvern ive been raising for the past couple days without using milk. Im using daeodons you just heal the little guy to max health and leave for 2 -4 hrs depending on how old the wyvern is. Every once in while feeding your daeodon as well... also works with snow owl.
Grapple to it and reel yourself in close enough where it can bite in order to tranq it and parachute down cause it will drag you up. Make sure to bring beds in case things go wrong. I’ve done this solo and it works well if done correctly
