How do I kill a magmasaur? magmasaur battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Guys this thing’s fire attack has been buffed. IT CAN NOW DESTROY TEK!
Beware of these guys!
This creature can damage stone with fireball attack! Be aware new survivors!!
I found the cave on lost island for magma eggs. GPS 23.0, 64.0
Lunar North on N are where most of the green rocks to feed your baby magmasaur
On the new lost island map they are found in a cave at the top of the map in the volcano, the babies can be fed Sulfur rather than ambergris to stay alive
Who thinks they should be in scorched earth (aka ur gonna die)
If it finds you, RUN. if you find it, RUN.
When stealing a magmasaur egg you must make sure that there is none of them around then just book it for the exit and BOOM now you have a magmasaur👌🏻
If you spawn in the hardest area of fjodur these things will be everywhere along with alpha rex, Raptors, Carnos and Basilks and megalanias and wyverns
I did not know they could one shot you with lava rocks. That went poorly
When spitting on metal spikes it damages it self with its own attack
If you get too close to a wild one that used it's special ability (a charge that will set it on fire and aggravate nearby dinos) it'll display a message saying "getting hot! Stay away!!!!" and that will set you on fire. Don't approach unless you know you're prepared.
Magmasaur is not in Scorched Earth because it could wipe out the entire ecosystem, make other species extinct, and dominate Scorched Earth.
Happens if he gets stronger in the heat, and scorched earth is a very hot map, during heat storms he would be extremely powerful.
I hope you understood my point of view.
Here's how to successfully Steal Magmasaurs egg
1. Using a Desmodus to go Invisible (only possible at night) and entering there nest
2. Land down and grab an egg when there not facing the nest or near or walking towards the egg
3. GRAB THAT EGG AND QUICKLY GET BACK ON YOUR DESMODUS AND FLY AWAY
4. Fly back to the entrance or far away enough to unrender them because they will still be mad at you and attack you even if your invisible
And there you go,you now know how to steal there egg
(Note when it turns 5:15 in ark it will turn daytime and your desmodus will UnCloak make sure you leave before 5:15)
An easy way to get the eggs is with a ridden Ferox, mostly because the Ferox is somewhat mobile and doesn't aggro *most creatures in the cave.
Sooo… they spit fire balls that damage you when you are on your mount, found out the hard way. Make sure you don’t.
They are decent swimmers which you wouldn’t think.
Magmasaurs can even damage TEK with it's searing spit attack so this is a dino for raif
Use tranq arrows. It may sound dumb, but their torpor is way lower than their health. I got an egg by just knocking out three of them and teleporting away. WARNING: their torpor drains VERY fast, so you need to keep tranquilizing them while their asleep, or kill them while their knocked out.
Be careful, this guy has a fiery explosion attack that he’ll kill you with.
