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

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:)

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

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