It usually spawns near the red obolisk or the sand dunes or the Rocky mountains behind the red obolisk. 80% of the times it's their 15% of the time it's near the silicon pearl loop in the middle of the map 5% of the time near the corners of the map. Happy hunting.

Eat some rare flowers and gain aggro to guide it to your preferred taming spot before the superheat ends. It’s a bit fast, so be careful! ^ if this helps!

The Phoenix eats sulfur only sulfur and nothing but sulfur so just keeput that in mind after you tame one.

I have played ark since 2017 and STILL HAVE NOT FOUND ONE.

Found mine in the rocky mountains near red obelisk. I think that's the most common place. Dont try to chase it with a dragon, you'll waste your time. Wait until it despawns and build a trap. These tame are not practical but are flipping awesome! The fact that they are so rare makes it better in my opinion. Dont give up.

Whoo hooo! I'm the first to write a tip on encountering!

It's only found during heat waves on scorched, probably just spawns anytime on modded maps in a few days.

Can use fire wyvren insted of arrows.

I had been looking for one for three hours and I had finally found one and then it died😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

new place to find one is Lat:69.8 long:59.2 just got my first Phoenix

Follow it then let it dissipear waiting for the next heat wave. Then trap the ashes/where it temporarily died, and start flaming it with flame arrows, a fire wyvern, or torches.
