Other options by slot
The best melee pick for each slot and the next best options. Each percentage is the DPS you lose by swapping in just that item against Ancient Wyvern.
Mechanics
They have very high Defence, Attack and Hitpoints, and their icy breath hits hard.
Only the ancient wyvern shield stops the freeze. A dragonfire, mind or elemental shield works, but you'll get frozen sometimes. They also have a ranged attack that reaches any distance. Pray Protect from Melee, with Piety for faster kills.
Which style: Melee is fastest and most profitable. Magic and ranged are slower.
