Taming strategy for Wyvern in Ark Survival Ascended

In Ark Survival Ascended, the conventional Knock-Out or Feeding Strategies won't work for taming a Wyvern. The only method of taming one is to hatch a Fertilized Wyvern Egg, typically stolen from the nests of Wild Wyverns. These eggs come in four distinct varieties: Fire, Lightning, Poison, and Ice.

Obtaining an egg poses the greatest challenge, as these nests are often guarded by a group of Wyverns that will pursue any thief who manages to steal an egg successfully.

To accomplish a successful heist, you can utilize a tamed Rock Elemental to dispatch all the Wyverns guarding the nest, as it's impervious to breath attacks and mitigates physical damage effectively.

Alternatively, using a flying tame that outpaces the Wyverns can facilitate a swift escape. However, obtaining Wyvern Milk from an Alpha or female Wyvern is essential for a newly hatched Wyvern, so it's more practical to eliminate them.

Once you obtain a Wyvern Egg, it needs to be incubated at a temperature ranging from 80 to 90 degrees Celsius / 176 to 194 degrees Fahrenheit. This can be achieved by using an Egg Incubator, capable of accommodating up to 10 Wyvern Eggs simultaneously at a chosen temperature.

Upon hatching, your Wyvern will exclusively require Wyvern Milk for sustenance until it becomes an adult. As previously mentioned, this vital resource can only be sourced from a female or Alpha Wyvern. The former drops five milk, while the latter drops 50. So, killing an Alpha Wyvern is the most efficient method of procuring this item.

Once your Wyvern reaches adulthood, you will have full control over your successfully tamed creature. Additionally, if you have adults of the same type, you can breed them to produce more of them.
