Ice Wyvern
The Ice Wyvern is a knockout tame - render it unconscious with torpor weapons like Tranq Arrows or Shocking Tranq Darts, then feed it while it's down. Once unconscious, Torpor drains at 25/s, so keep Narcotics or Bio Toxin ready.

The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Ice Wyvern at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Ice Wyvern unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 25 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.
Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. Torpor monitoring prevents premature wakeups. The starve timer is for the starve-tame method - let Food drop, then load all kibble at once to avoid waste.
The Ice Wyvern is a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Flyer classification.
Starting at 1,295 Health, it's among the tougher creatures. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. With 315 base Stamina, the Ice Wyvern has average stamina. Weight capacity starts at 400, giving it generous inventory space.
The Ice Wyvern is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Kibble (Argentavis Egg) for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Ice Wyvern works well as a reconnaissance mount, offering fast travel and a bird's-eye view of the terrain. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 80°C–90°C temperature window. Killing a wild Ice Wyvern yields 120 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.82 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the Ice Wyvern. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Ice Wyvern first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap.
