Tips & Strategies
There are some egg which are very easy to steal while others are not the main nest is difficult to steal from with a blood stalker as there a ton of magmasaurs but the smaller nests are super easy to steal from dont use the parachuting maneuver to steal the egg just grapple above it and press c slowly lowering yourself down but not to slowly if you have a whip use it for a less risky egg-straction.tip don't use a rock drake because it takes all the sport out of it same with rock drakes if you use a blood stalker to steal your first egg its too easy so not point. If you stole your first rock drake egg useing a bloody stalker then you technically didn't even tame one.

Taming/Raising
To get a Magmasaur, you have to steal one of their eggs, hatch it, and raise it yourself. To my knowledge, as babies they will only eat sulfur. However, as adults, they will take raw meat and can be force-fed to heal like a carnivore. I ran into the cave on Lost Island with nothing on several times and came out with 2 eggs. Please note: They can and will shoot fireballs at you. We haven't tried breeding them yet, but to my knowledge they can breed while in lava.
Utility
AMAZING. They can get metal, crystal, obsidian, and more really well, they can cook it on the go (Drawback: Rapidly drains hunger and disables sprinting,) they can fight, and they can cook meat in their inventory for you (Unsure if they need to be on smelting to do this.) They're also decently fast on the ground.
At full charge, their "Searing spit" (Hold RMB to charge) does high damage and a powerful burn effect. This ability requires metal ingots to use.
If you press space, they will do a taunt that enrages wild creatures. It might do more, but I don't remember. Sorry!
Extra
Originally thought they were all the same color, but I have been proven wrong! Me and a friend on a non-dedicated have 1 Magmasaur each, and I noticed his has blue tail tips while mine doesn't. This is everything I've found out about Magmasaurs so far, and it may not be everything.
Iβve 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
I found out the adults are easy to tranq. While they sleep the eggs are easy to get
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 arenβt any magmasaurs by an egg, then ask HLNA to teleport away, and right before you teleport, grab the egg.
