Tips & Strategies

What are tips for magmasaur? Tips and strategies for magmasaur in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This was actually decently challenging, I was around level 10-20 when I did this.
-Go to the southwest part of the Volcano region
-Follow the mechanical landmark/structure to the volcano
-Run for dear life past the carnos and X-Allos
-Run for dear life past all the onyc and bugs
-Go towards an egg that is unoccupied
-Get HLNA to teleport you out, grabbing the egg right as you head out
-You’re done!
-Get demolished by a pack of X-Raptors you spawn right next which leaves your corpse basically unreachable because HLNA is a dumb sonuva
Anybody else find it weird how the babies eat ambergris?
I mean, it isn't even found in the volcano biome, how would they get it in the wild?!
If you get too close to a wild one that used it's special ability (a charge that will set it on fire and aggravate nearby dinos) it'll display a message saying "getting hot! Stay away!!!!" and that will set you on fire. Don't approach unless you know you're prepared.
Take a fjordhawk then take a useless desmodus to the magmasaur cave and then hop off and steal all the eggs
When stealing a magmasaur egg you must make sure that there is none of them around then just book it for the exit and BOOM now you have a magmasaur👌🏻
So after losses.. I've worked out the magmasaurs food drops at a rate of 15 (rounded up from around 13.7) per minute, 900 food per hour. Feed your mag 1 ambergris every half hour to keep a happy healthy lil magma blob
The babies will die if they walk on lit torches and fire.. (I learnt the hard way)
If you can transfer your Rock Drake to Genesis it is pretty easy to steal Magmasaur eggs with them. Just turn invisible look for the best egg to steal. Quickly dismount grab the egg get back on and haul your butt out of there.
When raising Magmasaurs, you can incubate their eggs with either standing torches, dimetrodons (level melee only, it increases the incubation effect), air conditioners or a combination of all of the above. It takes a LOT of heat.
They eat Ambergris which can easily be mined from the lunar biome with an Anky (for the best yield).
Higher level Magmasaurs are best to raise, they have better food value.
At the “Juvenile” stage when they can be on trough, you can put their food (Ambergris) into a trough which helps with raising multiple tames (or bring over a character that has Tek unlocked and use a Tek Trough to preserve the food). (I play Xbox official).
Low level Mags might not look like they are taking food from the trough if their food value is low. Watch them and see if they eat once the value reaches zero. Higher levels do better for some reason. This knowledge might save someone some sleep. :-)
Best way to get the eggs is with parachute and grappling hook, you grapple down pickup the egg and then grapple to up the walls.
Now that we can transfer in and out of the genesis servers I’ve been getting a bunch of eggs, and from experience the best tame to get eggs ISNT the bloodstalker is a rock drake. I know there kind of hard to get but there invisibility is the best we to get into the best and the wall climbing and gliding is the best way to get out of the volcano without and trouble
If you’re based in the Snow biome, it’ll take anywhere from 16-20 ac’s to incubate the egg. Hope that helps some of the boys out
Get a good lvl carcha and flyer, go to lost island go to their nest, get carcha, get them out of nest, watch out for fireballs, kill them, stole eggs.
Works always, as for flyer tho I recommend desmodus
It’s just a normal lizard that wants to be loved
Passive tame this reptile with hot magma and make sure that your crouching because if it sees you it will run for the hills. It just wants to be loved, LOVED!!!
Or steal it’s children your choice
In Ark Survival Evolved on the the Lost Island map you feed the Magmasaur Sulfur until it becomes an Adult. Sulfur can be found in the Volcano Biome, and lots can be found near the Scorched Earth Biome which is located at the bottom.
