While you need to focus on damaging the head and tails alongside its chains, make sure to get some strikes in and break its wings as well. The Arkveld holds a special move where it can perform some explosive attacks on you using its wings.

Watch out for when the ground glows red after it slams its chain there as it will create a blast radius. Make sure to run away from the place to avoid damage. The Flying Wyvern Arkveld can also inflict Waterblight status effect on you that you can remove using Nulberry.
