How to build a cheap Crystal Wyvern trap | ARK: Survival Evolved | Building Tips 

Haven’t played ARK in a long ass time and saw this in my feed randomly. Can’t believe you still do this stuff man but my hats off to you. You’re a saint in a game full of sinners.

Why does this music make me feel like i need to start sleeping early, sleep 8 hours a day and hit the gym 6am every morning?

If they had you researching in the lab we might have the cure for everything

Pro tip: placement of this style of trap is everything. You need to be able to kite the wyvern straight in, as there isn’t much margin of error. Also placing it on flat ground and not near a cliff is also helpful to keep it from escaping and make shooting it easier. It’s also advisable to build a ladder so you can get to the wyvern more easily since sometimes they fall asleep in a difficult position. As for the cliff/level ground thing, I think it has something to do with the AI pathing. Generally when wyverns flee they fly parallel to the ground, so the ground around the trap influences the angles that the wyvern will orient itself in. Whenever I’ve used traps on cliffs or sloped ground, wyverns sometimes escape as much as half the time, but almost never when the ground is flat

What can I say it's great but I didn't expect anything else of u

These vids are so damn high quality 👌❤️ Keep it up my man

I absolutely love your content, it's extremely informational and cuts through all the bs. I havent played ark in a long time now but I always get the urge when I see your videos! Keep up the amazing work and thanks for helping me trap an argy last time I played lmao!

The trap is awesome, as usual, but I loved the music and way the video was done. Made the whole thing feel really epic.

Thx man I now see your traps across every server I come across. Tysm for teaching us how to make these traps to make our experiences in ark alot easier. Keep up the good work 👍

Berry GUD! Loved the editing, as always.

Amazing how well this minimalist design works.

Works as good as always, best channel in the entire EU. Keep up the good work, you really deserve more.

The rat is currently playing on a server with the featherless danger chickens and was in great need of a way to capture and milk them and this is just what was needed. YOU HAVE THE GRATITUDE OF THE RAT GOOD SIR.

Thank you for the future traps captain fatdog! Thank you very much!

the pictures at the end are always the best! Love the vids

Hey, You’ve improved A TON! Love to see it! And the beginning made me laugh, such a cute little animation thing you got going there! So creative. Keep up the work!

Thanks for the video, and to anyone planning to make this make sure you face away from the direction you plan to come from with a wyv chasing you as you build, because i learned the hard way that the direction you set the pillars determines the direction of the triangle roof which determines what side of the structure you can place the hatch frame and essentially determines what direction the whole thing faces, when i first started to build mine (With metal) i built it while looking towards the wyv area and it made it backwards and i had to tear it apart and rebuilt it facing the other way

They've definitely changed AI on wyvs and they don't get stuck in traps like these anymore unless you're using a tek suit. They get stuck for about 3 seconds and somehow have a crazy good turning radius to get out

Crystal isles is now released on console! Thank you for posting this trap before it was Released! Thank you so much captain fat dog!

You are awesome, creative and very intelligent - just genius! Thank you for all of your ideas and these cheap traps that really work - Argentavis lvl 320 just tamed thanks of you :)

Dododex Needs to hire you and put your trap designs on their app

Thank you for showing me how to make a trap. Very simple and convenient.

Your traps are so good and resource efficient

I tamed a griffin using your trap... I tamed a crystal wyvern on my own today, but still need the primal crystals. Things haven't been going well, so I've decided to return to the master for guidance

Great build! Works like a charm!

These animations are just delightful, a joy. You already know what I think about your *skillz* hehe

For an recent update this trap works like a beast, remember to fly low when going thru the trap

it's cheap, it's great what else can you ask. great vid as always!

Dude, that trap is amazing. Alsome work!. I did the blood and tropical wyvern before seeing this and was terrible to get the crystals. This made the ember so much easier

Just tested a minute ago on private server. Works Great! Thank you!

Somebody give this guy a raise

U can use honey to lure them in trap also. They will come from miles just to eat it.

Just built this trap on EU 1353. Works as advertised!! Thank you for great video.

Thats so innovative, instant subscribe! Also thank you for the rock elemental trap!

Can’t be a trap without triangles Perfection 👌

How is it possible for someone to be this smart? I mean, your IQ must be like atleast 1000000.

Sir captain "Cheapskate" fatdog, king of the traps strikes again! Cheers mate.

I find it amazing how a video can be so entertaining and keep me interested to watch without anyone even speaking.

This trap is 100% perfection But just so anyone knows the wyverns are still aggro after you take their crystals and they wake up and they sometimes escape. A good way to fix this (although a little more expensive) is to put more hatch frames coming off the top. 3 is enough. They wyverns can only escape if they are not aggro

The best thing about the trap is that everyone can use it

Outstanding, straight to the point video 👍🏽good job

Excellent and inspiring work, my friend!

The beat drop hit harder than my dads belt

Made the exact setup and finally got down the timing to get the wyvern caught but was running into the same issue as others. Wyvern would just turn and escape so I put 2 more triangle roofs on the top(essentially making it a "ramp". And now when the wyvern turns around it's completely trapped. I've had one trapped for days now

Ahhh there it is, thank you!! Keep doing your best video. 👍

And I love your videos. Probably the most helpful I've seen

Works only 1/2 the time. The wyverns always turn around and fly away even when you have its aggro.

I'm still struggling to understand how this works tho. Do they just naturally fly up when they stop moving? Just curious

Wow, that’s really ingenious. Great job!

Straight to the point. Great video.

seemed like a really good idea until it didn't work, they get out every time.

Me just running up and placing a Dino gate on their necks

Thanks guy. I saw your work on FB PS4 groups You really get around and thx again

You always amaze me with these. No more farming for behemoth gates now :D

did they patch this ? cz the wyvern is turning and leaving the trap easily when he loses aggro.

It doesn’t work anymore, after the new update they just turn around and fly right on out

In this video, the trop trap, raising and lowering, u was so into the music that i forgot what i was watching and your editing has really improved keep up the great work bro.

Good video! Instant explanation no bullshit showed the mats aswell. Good job my guy

Pro tip it doesn’t work

Best wyvern trap I have ever used. I use this set up all the time.

This trap worked perfectly in trapping my first ever crystal wyvern!

You sir just got a beach bob a 140 tropical wyv in 30 minutes. Greatness was achieved, thank you

Thanks for this version of the trap, tried the normal one and tinkered with it but don’t seem to have the ‘it’ factor for how you got it to work. Nice.

This helped me so much, thank you

Love the video detail and the skills you have thanks.

Thanks very much from France man! Just perfect 👍

Bro your channel deserves to be so much bigger

Found a server where someone already built this trap! Nice! Very convenient

Best design man congrats!

Most underrated channel for sure

U can Always count on captain to come through 👍

Thank you so much, this trap helped out a ton!

love your style dude

God damn, insane quality video!

Very cool and unique! Can always reuse it

It worked perfectly! Thanks for this trap it’s so cheap!

Excellent quality and amazing trap bro 🤟🏻

Great video simple and 2 the point.

Tf? Never ever could i think of a better trap than this one 👌👌👌

SICK intro !!! dude i subscribed the first 12 seconds of the video..

Well This bad boi gonna stuck forever Btw I love you're design captain :)

Only saw the video now but our official server have bunch of this traps and I knew the idea must came from the master cpt fatdog 😆

Thank you very much sir, you are truly a god.

this is epic, thank you so much

Thanks man you're the best

spent so much time with them damn dino gates and came across this and wow! tamed a dragon so quickly thanks to you

I've made this trap a hundred times n still need to watch the video haha thx fatdog

What a genius invention 👍

Beautiful design

This is awesome.

good work man

Beautiful!

Still works perfectly. Dunno if it works for S+, but I used base game items only and it worked.

Assuming there's a creative way to do it, could you do a video on a cheap(ish) and easier giga trap? I'd love to see that next!!

VERY satisfield finish :)

Worked perfectly 🤌🏼

fatdog and his cool projects again

excelent thank you for this i mucked the 1st one up lol

Trap still works W vid ❤️🙏
