These guys are so good at making gasoline

Ah that’s hot, that’s hot.

They do eat sulfur. They just eat it slowly. Put some sulfur in and wait a min and they will start eating one piece every couple minutes.

Who thinks they should be in scorched earth (aka ur gonna die)

They eat rocks. They're a little special

Go in the cave at night with a invis desmo. Wait till they are not near an egg, then swoop down. Repeat for all eggs if necessary.

If it finds you, RUN. if you find it, RUN.

In Fjordur use a desmodus,

Steps

1: wait till night.

2: go invisible.

3: go in the cave.

4: get an egg not near a magmasaur.

5: then fly out the cave.

Insanely good at metal runs superior to Anky.

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

Magmas:

Taming,

Get something fast to go in The Volcano, and wait till right after it erupts. This ensures that you won't be charred to pieces by the mountain. If you don't know where to go, use the mission "Eggtraction" in the gamma form. If you do, great. Once you're in the pool, catch 2-3 eggs for breeding.

Utility,

The three attacks are taunt, Searing Spit and bite. Taunt is best for hunting for your carnivores. Easy way to hunt. Searing Spit costs metal ingots, which you can smelt inside the magma, and does a lot of damage in pvp and pve missions that aren't other magmas. Bite is, well, bite. Your magma can also collect wood, thatch, metal, rock and flint very well. Can only be bred in lava.

Encountering,

If you encounter in a magma saddle, you should be good. If you aren't on a magma, make sure to whistle some very very strong tames. These things will burn you to death. Get close, you get

GETTING HOT! STAY AWAY!

closer..

GETTING HOT!!! STAY AWAY!!!

closer..

*death*

Has an internal forge so you can smelt metal in them but don’t jump into water because that’s too cool😎

Please Note: This tip isn't only Taming, it contains Utility too! I'm on my phone writing this, so sorry if the formatting is bad!

Taming/Raising

To get a Magmasaur, you have to steal one of their eggs, hatch it, and raise it yourself. To my knowledge, as babies they will only eat sulfur. However, as adults, they will take raw meat and can be force-fed to heal like a carnivore. I ran into the cave on Lost Island with nothing on several times and came out with 2 eggs. Please note: They can and will shoot fireballs at you. We haven't tried breeding them yet, but to my knowledge they can breed while in lava.

Utility

AMAZING. They can get metal, crystal, obsidian, and more really well, they can cook it on the go (Drawback: Rapidly drains hunger and disables sprinting,) they can fight, and they can cook meat in their inventory for you (Unsure if they need to be on smelting to do this.) They're also decently fast on the ground.

At full charge, their "Searing spit" (Hold RMB to charge) does high damage and a powerful burn effect. This ability requires metal ingots to use.

If you press space, they will do a taunt that enrages wild creatures. It might do more, but I don't remember. Sorry!

Extra

Originally thought they were all the same color, but I have been proven wrong! Me and a friend on a non-dedicated have 1 Magmasaur each, and I noticed his has blue tail tips while mine doesn't. This is everything I've found out about Magmasaurs so far, and it may not be everything.

All controls on switch!

R2: bite/claw

L2 hold and release: searing spit

L stick down: sprint

A: gives rare flower affect

After reading through the tips in here and panicking a little bit, i have good news! I can confirm after the newest patch the magmasaurs can be raised with sulfur on ps4. Dont trust me? Well i just pulled an all nighter whilst i hatched and raised one.

You can feed the magmasaur ( that your raising ) sulfur so don’t waste your time by trying to find ambergris. Because I wasted my time trying to find ambergris

Magmasaurs are phenomenal metal.and stone gatherers, but also really good crystal and obsidian gatherers too. Doesn't seem to be mentioned often. They can gather oil from oil rocks as well, but cannot gather ambergris or element shards.

It eats/wants Ambergris for imprints!!!!

Easiest way to steal an egg is teleport East volcanic, locate the mission The Egg-Straction and enter the cave. Note parachutes can be used but wing suit is better. Once you are in the cave use parachutes or a wing suit to fly into one of the little ravines and land by an egg that there are no nearby magmasaurs. Then start a teleport and as you are about to teleport pick up the egg.

When spitting on metal spikes it damages it self with its own attack
