How do I kill a magmasaur? magmasaur battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
They are strong against bullets, use teeth or compound bows to kill.
If you see them you’re turning into ashes simple
These guys are pretty slow by themselves, have a poor turning radius unless in lava and even puff up their gullets like an angry frog if you get too close. Just shoot them in the back from behind if you need to kill one. To the get eggs however will take a whole team. Note that there are bats, centis, scorpions and other nasties in the cave. And like 20+ magmasaurs guarding the nests. Just bring a few friends, some bog spiders to distract the horde, pick them off, and bam. You got magma bois. A fun little detail I've noticed is that they seem to be at maximum power when their bodies have an iron, blueish colored tint to their bodies. Beware of this, as their lava burst attack is at it's strongest in this state.

TRUST ME ON THIS! Make sure to go down into the magmisour cave and go to where the eggs are. You get lots of leval ups for your dinos. Just be careful of lava and the lava balls from the magmisours.
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.
They seem to wear themselves out after a bit of attacking. I killed a lvl 25 with a metal pike pretty easily.
If your just walking into the volcano and fall down there you just run and if you want you can punch it in the face but you’ll die make sure to have at least flak or riot and a high lvl Rex and nom nom nom them up.
When you look these dead in the eye,
You feel the heat rising and the flare,
You start to wonder.. why
You spawned in the Volcano there.
Best way to get eggs is 2 of u go on high gigas and another on a reaper or something else the 2 with the gigas runs in the pits eating all the magmas while the other gets the eggs me and my brothers done it easy but be fast as they spawn back in pretty much straight away hope this helps
D’s nuts will be rekt by these
Be careful and run
This amazing creature is technically in gen 2 and can be summoned by a summoner so you can just forcetame it in Rockwell’s innards.
So from what I have found fire crystal Wyverns are the absolute best for stealing magma eggs on flyer allowed maps on Official.
Br carfull becus karnovors are in thear
Be careful because a level 50 can pretty much instakill you while you're mounted
When I was looking for eggs, I found a 150 rex and tamed it, but when I put it in a cryopod, a magmasaur comes and kills my ferox and chases me all the way back to base. I was able to kill it but it killed my rex army I spent day's on trying to stack mutations on for the master controller, I have now moved into the bog but I still am afraid of them
It’s on gen 2 I saw one spawn in Rockwell’s heart you have been warned
These beasts can be found in the volcano biome on gen 1 all around most common inside the volcano protecting there eggs taking them on from range is not a good idea as they have a devastating range attack that can destroy even a tek base. Best from of attack would be to whistle a Dino onto the magmasaur as they have 2 AOE attacks that both harm and kill the player
I actually spawned this thicc boi in The Island, Primitive Plus. It’s real great and fun to ride. Do note that walking in shallow water, such as the swamps, does not damage the magmasaur. I did have to ForceTame it to be able to ride it. They are really great for traveling, because smaller, more annoying creatures don’t attack it, such as troodons and and raptors. However, the larger carnivores, Carno and bigger, do try to attack them but to no avail as this dude is op. Btw, the cheat code for you console players is ( cheat gmsummon “cherufe_character_bp_c” 200 0 0) If you are on single player, it is important to add (cheat) before (gmsummon) as it will not work otherwise. :)))))
I was wondering if you can go in with a managarmr?
