How do I kill a magmasaur? magmasaur battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
Would you rather have a flying furnace or a land one that’s 10x easyer to tame. Sorry for bad grammer
They can destroy metal spikes and maybe metal structures
You can hatch it using 50 torches that’s what I did.
They can kill you off your mount, watch out
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
This dinosaur will one shot you off the back of your mount! Be very cautious and aware! The AI in these things is actually moronic, slow and almost broken. Once you get in their face and eliminate their magma balls they crumble into ash! ;-) When your close they will still fire the cluster occasionally so be careful, you will notice the magma ‘Heat’ up just before doing this so back off if you can.
They receive damage over time in the lunar BIOm, be careful.
Tame can damage Tek and turrets!
THEY CAN DAMAGE YOU ON YOUR MOUNT, PLEASE DON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS ME😭
Pull up with two rock drakes these and things drop like flies
Damages all structures with fireball attack including tek items
Use an archeo and grappling hook,makes getting eggs so much easier
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
Thinking taking this guy into a water source to kill effectively?
If you see one and you took its egg just run and be where it shoots fire balls so be where
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
Magmasaur can destroy stone structures with ease but are relatively slow. They can be quite easily outrun.
On Fjordur their eggs spawn in the back of the wyvern trench you can enter from a cave located near the wyvern trench on the side closest to the obelisk. I recommend a maewing with decent HP and Melee to enter near the start of the magmasaur cave. The inside of the magmasaur cave is very hot so i recommend ascendant ghillie (i am not even hot when wearing ghillie). Inside the cave is element shards (redish rocks near the back inside a nest and near the middle on a small side piece of land), crystal, metal and BLACK PEARLS!!! Nests spawn in the middle with the lava lake. I recommend to go inside the cave a strong tame (i go overboard and use a strong carch with a very good saddle doing 4k damage on max rage.
