Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a magmasaur? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a magmasaur.
There is a Nest, that is far away from the others in a different canyon. If you hang with a Bloodstalker on the ceiling of the Cave . Now you can easily kill all Magmasaurs with Compoundbow, Pumpgun or Fabricatedsniper and grab an Egg. With more players you can also try to control the main Cave.
So when your wanting to steal an egg it’s really simple:
Make sure you have a suitable tame to actually arrive at the egg ( recommend bloodstalkers )
Once you have found the egg you want start the biome teleportation, and pick the egg up just before you teleport and done upload it and go hatch.
Ok, so after you get yourself one of these eggs from the volcano and get back home, you need to heat it up so that it hatches, then as it’s maturing it will want to eat Ambergris, then as adults they will eat meat and rocks.
They only eat embergriss when baby but if you force feed to adults they regain lots of health and it has no cool down (you can only get ambergriss in the lunar biome from
the rocks the glow green)
If u find an egg l, get beside it (without agroing the magmasaurs) and then teleport to another biome. Right as the teleport is finishing pick up the egg and you should teleport away with no harm.
Stealing an egg there’s two easy methods:
1. Find an egg with no magmasaurs within regular aggro range. Stand next to it and teleport away via HLNA. Whenever the haxagon walls of the bubble are about to reach the top, take the egg and you will be safely teleport out.
2. Get a Bloodstalker. Jump up high and slowly drift down using control (PC)/LB + RB (Xbox)/ L1 + R1 (PS) until you can see an egg, any egg. Once you’ve found one, release the drifting button(s) and get off of the Bloodstalker, take the egg, get back on the Bloodstalker and grapple to a high up point, you will be out of range of the magmasaurs and you can then safely escape.
To hatch the egg you will need 20 standing torches for it to hatch in any weather (not sure about Arctic zones). You will need to feed the baby Ambergris which can be acquired through mining the rocks with green glowing veins in them in the Lunar biome with a pickaxe or mining drill or anky. The Bloodstalker is very useful for traversing the Lunar biome. You can also get mastercraft Magmasaur saddles at a decent rate from the Bottle Nosed Blitz mission, which is very easy, even on alpha. Hope this helps
These guys are a pain because the only way to tame them is find a magmasaur nest with them alive and a way to do it is grab as many eggs as possible the get your butt out of there and get an incubator hatch a male and female so you can breed them Boom never go back to the nests again… unless you they die but that’s why you get mor than 2 your welcome.
It’s just like a velo but bigger. it goes weak I cold and strong in heated areas. it is capible if far ranged attacks and is a moving forge it can swim in lava but eats oil and gasoline to survive. its saddle protects you from the heat but other people around it will start to take damage so keep it pretty safe and far
It be nice if the devs made some alternative to ambergris for imprinting because I am on lost island (a map with no ambergris) and would like a 100 percent imprint but I can’t because there no ambergris on lost island up so other people can see please
And please reply if I am just being stupid and there is ambergris on lost island thanks for reading
I hatched an egg and poof I got to tame three magmasurs
Can eat stone as well to save oil and gasoline for more important matters
Tip: Magmasaur baby’s eat ambergris
Don’t go in with a blood stalker as it’s risky, go in with a grappler as your blood stalker could get stuck , make this a high comment so people can see
When raising the magmasaur the food drain rate is 720 food every hour and you can’t feed it cause it doesn’t hold 5 weight until it runs out of food and starts to drain health on consoles. 1 food is good for about 500 food value. This is all on 1x
I suggest consuming a cactus broth bring like 3 parachutes and run in, start a teleport grab the egg right before you teleport sounds easy huh?, well it is! This is the way if you dont have a bloodstalker
It eats oil,gas,and propellant
Looking like an nise gentile man
Sulfur is glitched currently. So babies are not consuming it. Ambergris is needed. If not use snow owl to heal them as they are raised.
Trust me its easyier to hatch it with around five stone fire places it takes way less wood and space. Same with wyvern and deinchust or however you spell there name!
White drops on gen2 are ambergris
