Magmasaurs cannot (ironically) collect Ambergris or élément. You need an Ankylosaur for that. They do collect tons of everything else.
Magmasaur
The Magmasaur is a large creature that can swim in lava. Its saddle is fire resistant.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Magmasaur in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Can they smelt without wood???and they r easy to get on lost island
To tame one of this things on fjordur. All you need is 2people with 2raptors that are not important, run inside the wyvern cave (good stam&speed) try rub through everything go in jump to the left and grabb a egg then use the teleportation to teleport anywhere safe, (we just…

I summoned a male and female using the command gmsummon “cherfue_character_bp_c” 55 100 false I made them sit in the lava at the center map and it worked to breed them
You can equip the mining drill while riding most tames, magmasaur included. Drill does weight reduction on wood stone and metal so while out farming with your magmasaur you can keep the stone and ditch the doed.
Heads up! Takes a LOT of fall damage.
Can be bred on valguero, in the cave with artifact of the crag. ~35 ~51
Easiest way to get eggs is with skiff grabbing a tribe member with a whip. Hover over egg and whip
I’ve learned that throwing a high level Rex to kill everything works really well
These things are really good at gathering crystal and obsidian.
Find a high level one and raise it. Imprint it all the way. Now you can harvest decent metal out of ordinary rocks, and get TONS of metal from node rocks. They shame Ankys and elementals, add thatch to your inventory before the harvest, then take it out to get stone and wood…

They shame Ankys and elementals, add thatch to your inventory before the harvest, then take it out to get stone and wood, now add stone and wood to your inventory of thatch and build anything. Now sprint in it. See how slow the stamina drains? Nice. Won’t Agro swarms and can defend in a fight. Watch it’s health. Now force feed it Ambergrease, see it regenerate health? Awesome!
Now ponder what breeding for stats will do to make it better...
Super easy to kill these. Just stay behind them at their tails and attack. They only are able to defend their fronts. They only have one AOE attack that can hit all creatures in the area with projectiles, one purple cloud that acts as rare flower, and one that heats the area…
Super easy to kill these. Just stay behind them at their tails and attack. They only are able to defend their fronts. They only have one AOE attack that can hit all creatures in the area with projectiles, one purple cloud that acts as rare flower, and one that heats the area around to ignite ground foes. But they use those sparingly, and are easy to kill with Allosaurs and Rexes.
If you are on a “free build, missions disabled, fliers enabled official servers” you can kill them with Argies. Just attack their backs and tails. But watch for their buddies that might snipe you out of the air from a ways away.
Run.
A HELPFUL TIP SHOULD INCLUDE MORE WORDS
I don’t believe they did testing for it yet but it does gather obsidian and crystal very well just take a argent with you when you do to carry stuff
Maturation on small tribes is 5x faster than indicated atm
To tame Magmasaur you must steal the egg
Best way to get eggs is to leave 3 or more rexes at the entrance by the eggstraction mission. Run multiple people in on 1 rex at a time. Eat cactus brew, parachute, teleport, grab egg, and run back. Rinse repeat, just make sure you leave the rexes in a safe point in the cave…

You can't tame adults so I suggest look for the in the volcano where they then get the egg becarefull so non of them know then put the egg in the center of a torch circle like the wyvern it might work just advice
One Ambergris gives 500 food and at beginning they eat a lot
Magmars are *better* farmers than anky are for metal. It gathers nearly twice as much at half the melee investment.
