The Magmasaur is the second best harvesting dino in the game objectively, but in my opinion it's the best. Technically the stryder can save time transferring resources and can gather almost as much per node, but overall more per "hit" because of it's multi-targeting Lazer. However, to transport the stryder is a pain as it can be uploaded and down loaded once per day, and can not be put into a cryopod. Here is where the Magmasaur comes in! The Magmasaur being cryopod-able makes it much more of a versatile creature, and allows for farming many different resources in many different areas. If you aren't a large tribe with teleporters all over the map, then you can surely appreciate a magmasaur over a stryder.

Also... How cool do they look??!!! Currently these are my latest obsession and they've been out for years...

My opinion the hardest second hardest egg to get with Rock Drakes barely first, If you are on a cluster I’d suggest getting a mana so u could get in get out quick. A good way is to also kyro a a good fighter u don’t need and throw them in so they can distract them so you can get out

Be careful with traps in Lava biome, if a Magmasaur Argos to your structure, it can blast a huge hole in your stone easily. One got trapped in our pitfall trap and we became aware of it from the tribe log showing it had destroyed half the building in minutes. This was NOT a small structure either. Best to break it out and kite it away (or eat it with Rexes). Stone, metal and Tek are all damaged or destroyed by this thing. It was not designed to be trapped or to be held in structures. If you want to tame one, steal an egg.

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.
