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

Use oil jars to tame for a constant flame

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

here is two ways to tame this bub

one: the quick way,

1: heat wave

2: get on fast and good tame

3: find one

4: if found use fire wyvern or flame arrows

two: the trap way,

1: start from step 3 on way one but wait for heat wave to end.

2: find big pile of ashes

3: place a trap. add oil jars for good results

4: wait for next heat wave

5: light the fire bird up!

To the person who asked, Phoenixes eat Sulfur.

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:)

On asa use a scanner and find the phoenix grab a weapon like a bow and the auto aimer will point to the middle of the phoenix place a triangle stone or metal foundation in the middle of it. Build a wall with the door holes in it 4 high on every side and add a ceiling. Three phoenixs spawn on the server I play on in asa. Repeat with the rest of them. Add pin points to your map for every phoenix. Get a couple of jerabas have one cryod on you and the other on you. You go unconscious all the time on SE so always be prepared for your jeraba to die. Next get a high compound bow or high regular bow if you use a regular bow bring 2 if it's maxed out or more depending on melee damage rating. If you have only 1 bow bring the mats to repair it. Unless it's the compound bow. Next wait for a heat wave good luck I've waited for days before lol I also live there. get your bow out with 500 arrows at least. I carry 1000 then shoot the phoenix if you have a max compound bow I've tamed 3 phoenixs in one heat wave. If they make them rare I'm taking everything I can get in 1 heat wave. After the first phoenix is tamed another one spawns and after that I think you'll have to wait for 2 hours for each one. So it's possible to tame all four in 1 heat wave but good luck they'll need to be all low lv and close to each other. Which is possible I've seen it. Now for some helpful info. If you start taming a phoenix and can't finish it or die the phoenix will escape the trap unless someone is there to see the building you made. I've lost a few. Next tip if your not at the phoenix when the heat wave starts he will be invisible yes invisible such a pain. You can tame it invisible don't worry about it. Unfortunately if you use the scs mod he will not be cryoable just leave render and head back and the phoenix will be poddable that's for tamed and wild phoenixs it's easier to hit the phoenix when you see it obviously so do as you please. And if anyone who reads this thinks a bow is bad I've tamed a 140 110 and 35 by myself in 1 heat wave and only had to travel a total of half the map during the heat wave. Good luck.

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

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

Fun fact! You can tame the Phoenix by hitting it with a torch so you don’t have to waste you’re time shooting it and missing and what not just wanted to help everyone out because this creature is definitely something worth getting
