Smash oil bottles and light them on fire under the Phoenix, it tames it so quickly!

Watch Nooblet best way to trap a Phoenix and he uses oil jars and a parasajr to find the ashes and traps it.

To the person who asked, Phoenixes eat Sulfur.

You can get it to spawn next to your base because of the following: It always respawns at it's last location, so if the heatwave ends while you are following it you will know where it is for the next heatwave. It also chases you when you eat flowers... hint hint

Nooblets is the best tamer. He has so many creative ways of taming critters..... he's also hilarious and I also like his British ascent...

Step 1: find ash pile
Step 2: trap the ash pile
Step 3: bring a Wyvern or flamethrower
Step 4: wait until it spawns on the ash pile
Step 5: burn it
Step 6: you have successfully tamed a Phoenix

You can look for it with a parasaur when heatwave isn active...it can detect an ash pile...i got lucky and found one after 5min

Find a phenix during a heatwave and follow it until it ends. The phenix will turn into ashes and land on the ground but will spawn right back at the same exact spot during the next heatwave. Build a trap 6 blocks high so I can't glitch out and you have yourself a trapped phenix to tame:)

aparrently putting something to sleep and feeding it its favorite food is considered violent but setting a bird ON FRICKIN FIRE isnt wow wildcard
