Locating the Nest

You must explore the snow biomes that circle Ragnarok to locate the Nest.

Ice Wyverns regularly spawn at predefined locations in ARK Survival Ascended, usually at the tops of mountains or high-level areas. The nests will contain eggs when male and female Ice Wyverns are present, or sometimes when only one is present.

The Ice Wyverns are always at the exact location, so getting these creatures is pretty straightforward since they spawn in predefined locations.

You can find the Nests at various locations in the game. 33.8, 37.9 is one of the easier ones.

The other spawn coordinates are 45.3, 32.0, 44.7, 54.3, 47.7, 56.6, 34.1, 61.6, and 31.8, 69.1.

These places share the same spawn type, so return whenever you want to farm eggs.

Collecting the Eggs

You will see an Ice Wyvern Egg in ARK Survival Ascended when you reach a nest of male and female wyverns. Simply move towards the nest and collect the egg, but expect the hostile reaction of the adult wyverns in the nearby area.

The eggs are at the same level as the parent Wyverns nearby.

Incubating these eggs successfully to hatching requires a specific temperature. Ten Air Conditioners, carefully placed to control the optimal incubation temperature of Ice Wyvern Eggs, are what you will need.

This high requirement turns egg incubation into a mid-to-late game activity requiring several fixed infrastructures in ARK Survival Ascended.

Combat Abilities and Tactical Advantages

Ice Wyverns' special breath attack sets them apart from the fire-breathing variants. Rather than normal flame damage, these creatures release a cold blast. It's more like frozen steam or puffed ice shards. The attack inflicts multiple damage types and debuffs on enemies.

The ice breath utilizes "ice burn" damage, which works like typical burn effects but with added characteristics. It is most prominent in draining the target's stamina, providing a substantial strategic advantage in PvP and PvE.

The stamina drain effect is especially deadly against flying mobs since sustained attacks can cause them to fall due to being out of stamina.

The breath attack also includes knockback, and you can use this to manage the position of enemies in combat fights. When used with draining stamina, this presents opportunities for avoiding harmful ground-based assaults while gradually eliminating air-based threats in ARK Survival Ascended.
