The Alpha Fire Wyvern is one of the Alpha Creatures in the Scorched Earth DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved.

Basic Info

The Alpha Wyvern is a bigger, stronger version of the normal Wyvern which rarely spawns inside The World Scar.

Behavior

The Alpha Wyvern will chase you when you're near. If you're escaping and there's something closer than you to it, it will change course for easier prey. If there's nothing else around, it will fly up and into open areas until it runs out of stamina, where it will then start the same process again.

Appearance

The alpha Fire Wyvern will have a distinct red glow around it. this makes it easy to notice from other fire wyverns.

Color Scheme and Regions

This section displays the Alpha Fire Wyvern's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Alpha Fire Wyvern. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Alpha Fire Wyvern will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. Hover your cursor over a color to display its name and ID.

This information can be used to alter the Alpha Fire Wyvern's regions by entering cheat SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID> in the cheat console. For instance, cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6 would color the Alpha Fire Wyvern's "body" magenta.

Combat

General

Strategy

Weaponry

Rock Elementals, with their rock throw attack, can easily make short work of Alpha Wyverns.

Homing Rockets are also useful tools against them. It may be a little tricky to lock on to, but most Wyverns shouldn't take more than 10 rockets.

A high level Fire Wyvern can easily kill most Alphas by just hovering in the air and biting.

Also a few Velonasaurs make easy work of an alpha wyvern if put into turret mode and levels mostly if only in health and possibly kept in safe distance in a trap or a structure to keep the wyvern at a safe distance.

Dangers

They are extremely powerful when taking on full force however guerilla tactics prove quite resourceful against it

Weakness

The Alpha Wyvern can't be damaged from special attacks by fire wyverns but it does take damage from lightning, ice & poison wyverns.
