Tips & Strategies
When raising Magmasaurs, you can incubate their eggs with either standing torches, dimetrodons (level melee only, it increases the incubation effect), air conditioners or a combination of all of the above. It takes a LOT of heat.
They eat Ambergris which can easily be mined from the lunar biome with an Anky (for the best yield).
Higher level Magmasaurs are best to raise, they have better food value.
At the “Juvenile” stage when they can be on trough, you can put their food (Ambergris) into a trough which helps with raising multiple tames (or bring over a character that has Tek unlocked and use a Tek Trough to preserve the food). (I play Xbox official).
Low level Mags might not look like they are taking food from the trough if their food value is low. Watch them and see if they eat once the value reaches zero. Higher levels do better for some reason. This knowledge might save someone some sleep. :-)

To breed them without lava enable mating and continuously hit them with wyvern fire
I used 3 dimetrodon with mate buff and about 250-270% melee and a few standing torches with single player settings on genisis saved me 89 years of making and powering ACs and I’m so happy
Latest patched! Now you can raise Magmasaur baby with sulfur!
Pegos are so dumb. Took my crypod with my baby 150 magmasaur and then jumped into the wyvern trench and died 😭
I feel like these guys should be on scorched earth, it would make sense, up of you agree
When it comes 50% age, will eat 0.1 food in sec. That mean 360 food for hour. 4000 Food enough to leave overnight. I hope I helped you^^
I’ve found the eggs. The eggs are located inside the volcano in an amethyst cave. There are lava pools with groups of magmasaurs in them. There are small islands with craters in them, within those craters the eggs are nestled within. But be careful there are lots of magmasaurs, magma, and what look like varient rock elementals.
On fjordur is you go into the cave at the end of the fire wyvern trench and fly to the nests steal one egg then lead the rest of the magmas under the bridge in that area lead them against the right wall going in with the spikes when there all in there enjoy getting all the other eggs in that area I got lots of eggs doing this
Easiest thing to do is to spawn at the East zone and go to the Egg-Straction mission. Then, take the first left in the cave and you should end up by the nest. A good strategy is to wait until there aren’t any magmasaurs by an egg, then ask HLNA to teleport away, and right before you teleport, grab the egg.
Babies eat ambergris strictly. Can be found in lunar biome from the luminescent rocks
