Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Yep, this creature is awesome! Gathers metal and crystals and rocks very well, and takes 20-25 standing torches to hatch. Can swim in lava, a plus, and has a swipe attack (R2 for ps4), a fire thing where it spits fire out of the holes on it's back (X for PS4) and a blast of fire from it's mouth that requires metal ingots, which you can smelt from the magma boi(L2 for ps4). They are very strong and dangerous. Beware!
More Magmasaur Utility Tips
Magmasaur is able to destroy ALL STRUCTURES utilizing its searing spit. While it is a walking forge it produces metal at the same rate as a refining forge. You can use the jump button to taunt other creatures and when holding searing spit use crouch to erupt. (This attack pushes creatures back and leaves magma everywhere) it is breedable in lava. Hope this helped
Get one of these, they harvest everything in abundant quantities.
Want to build? Bring your thatch and start harvesting.
Want metal to trade with other tribes? Get a Magmasaur. They tend to get metal out of any source of stone or metal node anywhere, and better than an Anky... and I have 900 mêlée Ankys, and I would still use a Magmasaur.
And they are FAST while they harvest. They sprint around like nothing.
Eat a Dino that drops raw prime and you need it cooked right now? “Enable Smelting”. Your prime will be cooked.
Your Magmasaur is low on food? Force feed it stone. Works better than meat to fill its food.
Want to tame a basilisk? Breed your magmasaurs and use the fertilized eggs to tame a basilisk. Then have your new basilisk follow you and carry your junk, just level weight.
Want to survive inside the volcano on Genesis during an eruption? Mount your Magmasaur and don’t get out of the saddle until the eruption is over. It’ll kill your shoulder pet, though.
