Stealing Wyvern Eggs in Monster Hunter World: A Complete Guide
In the vast world of Monster Hunter, you'll spend a surprising amount of time running away from monsters instead of hunting them. One of the most thrilling – yet intense – experiences is stealing Wyvern Eggs, especially in the Ancient Forest. But what exactly do you do with these eggs, and how do you steal them in the first place?
What to Do with Wyvern Eggs in Monster Hunter World
After stealing a Wyvern Egg, you can complete the Gettin' Yolked in the Forest Delivery Quest. If you've already completed the quest, you can still earn profitable resources by turning in stolen Wyvern Eggs at any camp. Unfortunately, you won't be able to breed a baby Rathian.
How to Steal a Wyvern Egg in Monster Hunter World
The Wyvern Egg in the Ancient Forest is located in map piece 16, on the third floor of the forest. To steal it without running into trouble, snag it and head back to Ancient Forest Camp 17. It's highly recommended that you unlock and build Ancient Forest Camp 17 before completing the Gettin' Yolked in the Forest Delivery Quest, as it's the closest one to the Wyvern Egg location.
If you still have Tobi-Kadachi's Ghillie Mantle, make sure to equip it to avoid being detected by Rathian. If not, you'll just have to be extra stealthy. Before attempting to steal the egg, do a test run and clear any Wingdrakes in the area. If they spot you, they will snitch your location to the Rathian.
Tip: If you're on the lower floors and run into a Wingdrake, latch onto it, and it will fly you up to the third floor.MHW: Safest Route to Steal Wyvern Eggs in the Ancient Forest
