What is a magmasaur used for? magmasaur battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Be careful when you aren’t riding them, if they are attacked they will taunt and a low level magmasaur will die pretty quickly when literally everything around it(even passive animals like parasaurs)attack them. I almost lost my lvl 60 magmasaur when a dilo hit it and then all the stegos and brontos started attacking.
Don't listen to the Dododex listing, Magmasaurs are the BEST metal gatherers and it is worth it to steal one. A 100 melee gets way more metal than my 500 melee Ank did. Just grab a few Pteras you don't care about and head in there. The level doesn't really matter because any Magmasaur will gather more metal than an Ank.
Also, when you get a Magma, you don't have to worry about eruption because it is immune to it.
