How do I kill a magmasaur? magmasaur battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Be careful riding your magma to get more eggs. They aren’t resistant to searing spit
The magmasaur has a very very bad turning radius when trying to kill one try to continuously try to be behind it. It’s flaming aura when using its spit will hurt you, the magmasaurs body will become in fire whilst doing this attack that will be your warning. Magmasaurs also come in packs of 1-3 so if you hit one another one will most likely be there
They can be found almost everywhere in the volcano biome however the nests that contain the eggs are located inside the volcano. Easiest entrance inside is next to the "Egg-straction" mission beacon. The nests are located in pools of lava a nest can hold anywhere from 1 to 3 eggs. The lava pools tend to have minimum 1 dozen adult magmasaura that will start hurling fireballs in your direction once you take a single egg. They are quiet slow moving a ferox will be useful in getting in and escaping. The pools of lava aren't an instant kill.
Just use a thylacoleo the bleed is great
Watch out when tour trying to get magmasaur eggs if the magmasaurs hit your dino you will also gwt the fire affect and die this happened a few times when i was getting eggs :(
They have caves to go in there is three nests in the fire wyvern area
If you see one and you took its egg just run and be where it shoots fire balls so be where
Egg incubator boosts 20% at 100 degrees
Shot them from above
Badbilly02 you find them in the volcanic biome on genesis 1, is you spawn south east you’ll be by a giant metal structure then go into your missions and select the mission eggstraction then go to where it is and they’ll be a cave by here and that is the entrance to their egg nests but I recommend going just below the mission point ass there’s another entrance with purple crystals which is an easier option :)
Be wary-to get their eggs is hard,
Climbing inside the terror mountain,
That might explode and you'll be charred.
Try to use somethimg fast for their offspring,
A bloodstalker, or two.
But beware for they can give you a flare
Killing all of you.
I've been looking for an hour or so and I've found 2 magmasaurs. I haven't found the egg cave yet but I'm going to keep looking. The first one I found was on the N side of the W volcano about half way up. It was just outside a cave full of chitin (mantis, scorp, centipedes). The second one was on the S side at the oil pools
Is this the first creature to do a warning before attacking?YES
Stay still because they are the first creacher to have the sense of when you are not moving thay can’t see you and if you hit them thet deal damige back to you so if you one hit them they will deal a persentage of damage to you and your mount
Gigas can take these head on.. But when i say head on, i mean dont turn or divert from the path you've chosen. These guys are weak and will die within a few bites. if you try to turn, run away or if you have one behind you. U r as good as dead. One missile attack will kill you. your dinosaur won't die but good luck trying to get it back unless you got another tame. I highly recommend getting a skiff. But if your smart and not dumb enough to run in like a cow boy, you could take a mind wipe invest all into fortitude and movement speed. Get some parachutes and get to your tame. Good luck
These thing are basically the wyverns of genesis
Babies eat ambergris from the rocks in the lunar biome.
Use an archeo and grappling hook,makes getting eggs so much easier
In Arctic biome, I was able to get the egg to incubate with 26 AC'S. Hope this helps
Pull up with two rock drakes these and things drop like flies
