What are tips for magmasaur? Tips and strategies for magmasaur in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
When you get to the nest deploy a creature somewhere near the mamasaurs then shoot a pharmone dart at it. If it is a more powerful creature it will give you enough time to steal an egg.
When breeding these eggs instead of placing hundreds of torches/campfires(assuming you don’t have an incubation room with aircon) place 4 fire places in the lava biome making a box you can get into and drop the egg, hatched all mine this way
Every time the volcanoe erupts all the magmasaurs and the eggs/ nests respawn
Best way to get egg is by going to the dodic race then don’t do the race but go into the cave and grab eggs b/c the dodic is invincible but you have to have a friend ride it in.
Recommend using a mag, stalker or Rex for this meta. Raise a pack of good stat argies, imprint them. Have a gang of around 8-10 follow you on high and whistle attack target on a mag in the lava pits, most of the other mags run into the fight but because of the agro cloud, argies fly and are tricky to hit by a mag they end up being a big distraction while you take the eggs. Once you’ve got your eggs whistle them passive following and HLNA teleport out, argies will survive the explosion as long as you are in your mag saddle. This works a dream
You have to go on top of the vulcano,to cords X:78 Y:18.
You need a parachute, grappling hook and maybe some sleeping bags and it's always good to bring some water with you.
Now you have to run in the cave and follow the crystals.
When you see a big hole use the para and jumb down.It's very helpful to land on a high rock or a ledge to spot an egg and may wait for an pefekt opportunety.
Now all you have to do is use the para again and land near a nest, grab the egg and use the grappling hook to get to an ledge or any high ground where you can't get shot and now tp. out and you've got it.
Magmasaurs are excellent in collecting stone, crystal, and metal. Metal receives a very notable weight reduction. They can do full damage to rock golems as well. X-golems taking less damage as an X creature.
Their smelting is lackluster, very slow for the incredible amount of food it uses to smelt. Stick to a pheonix that does so passively, unless you're in the lunar biome for ambergris to keep them fed.
Having one makes getting eggs easy, but it is still easier to shotgun the wild ones then get the eggs, if you've a decent scattergun.
To feed baby u need to let food deplete almost all the way before he can hold the ambergris and they eat ambergris till full grown
This dino eats from a tough when growing up just out its food in there and you can get some sleep after ten percent. Us a tek tough tho. Ps. I have ten and it's great time saver on official.
Lower yourself with a bloodstalker then get out as fast as you can.
