The Phoenix appears only during heat waves, flying through the world before turning into ashes when the event ends, so tracking and marking its final location is essential. Build a covered trap around the ashes to ensure it reappears there during a future heat wave, then tame it by repeatedly applying fire-based attacks and feeding it sulfur. As a mount, it excels at rapid travel and combat, can cook meat, smelt metal, produce gasoline and silica pearls, harvest resources, and heal from fire, but has limited carrying capacity and consumes sulfur.
