What is a magmasaur used for? magmasaur battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
Eats both berries and raw meat. Can smelt metal into ingot, make gasoline, etc. Eats a TON of food doing this though.. so be prepared! Gathers resources such as stone, metal, obsidian, wood, thatch, etc. I have a lvl 190 with 60% imprint, and it's weight is 1059.5 so it can hold a lot. Very powerful on top of all this. Definitely recommend getting one! New survivors be wary! This creature.. tamed or wild.. can mess your day up if not well prepared
You can activate the “Magmasaur heat” damaging effect by holding the secondary attack in until you have 100% searing spit, then primary attack (bite) and you will cancel the searing spit attack, and the charge will slowly go down, doing a good amount of heat and fire damage to any creature in a radius, this doesn’t trigger neutral creatures like trikes into attacking you, they can be killed as they don’t count the magmasaur heat damage as you attacking it.
