What are tips for phoenix? Tips and strategies for phoenix in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Capture with a hoverskiff tracker beam. It will hold it still while you tame it.
If u don't want to trap it then u can just get a wyvern like a fire one and scorch it (ha I put a pun in there
When you find the Phoenix follow it around till the heatwave ends. You can build a taming box around the ashes and when it wakes up it'll be an easy tame. Flamethrower seems to work better than flame arrows and I'm assuming the fire wyvern works best of all but I haven't tried it with mine yet.
Memorise where the phoenix is before the heat waves ends than build a trap 5 high so the phoenix would be trapped then throw oil jars down and light them with a torch the more oil jars you Light the more quicker the phoenix tames
Use a fire wyvern's breath to tame. Wyverns are faster than pheonixes but have a larger turning radius. The trap where you follow it and put a box around it is still a really good idea though.
Nooblets is the best YouTube channel he makes such easy was to tame the hardest tames so check it out he will blow your mind.
Food
It's diet consists of Sulfur
3 spawn each heat. 5-6 wall high trap.
Take 1 Giga, 3 Argies, and a Phoenix for meat runs. Put all birds on follow (player, not Giga, so if you get stuck, stand up in the saddle and they'll fly above you). Argies get black-boxed with raw meat, and all the Prime Meat goes in the Phoenix. By the time you fill the Argies and go back to base, you'll have tons of cooked Prime Meat for recipes and jerky.
Highly suggest a trap it took 2 super heats on official x1 rates to tame on top stat fire wyverns while alternating turns with 1 other tribe mate and yes it was a low level
Get a tapejara and a tribesmember. One of you ride on the back of the saddle, the other drive. The person on the back should have either a crossbow and flame arrows or a flamethrower, if you're feeling daring. Fly near one and eat a rare flower. The phoenix will chase you, so you can fly away and the person on the back shoots the phoenix. Make sure you have ghille and cactus broth, because they only spawn in heat waves. If you are on a server where you can transfer dinos, you can build a metal box with an open side on the back of a quetzal, let the phoenix fly in, and wall up the opening. Proceed to light it up...literally. If you follow the phoenix during a heat wave, when it deepens know that next heatwave it will spawn in the same place. Build a large platform out of any material under where the phoenix will spawn. Wait for a heatwave, then quickly bola the phoenix and box it in. You can either build a big box and go in with it, or make a window you can shoot it through. Good luck!
YOU CANNOT PILLAR WHERE ITS ASHES ARE. Use this to help pinpoint its location when building trap.
Sometimes it will glitch and spawn on top of your trap ceiling. Try placing two layers of ceiling 6 blocks apart - it will spawn on first layer and be trapped.
Darn thing caught me on fire when it spawned in. I was standing on the Nooblets trap. I climbed back up and it was out of the trap. I followed it on a wyvrn and when it turned to ashes, I couldn’t find it with a parasaur. I guess it despawned. I am sad.
When heat wave start and Phoenix is back after it was ash pile use tons of oil jars and light them boom you have a Phoenix and they eat sulfur
If you're like me and still play ASE, use a parasaur's special to ping the Phoenix underground during a heatwave or after it. When you've found it... Build a trap and look at another tip I'm just quoting raasclark-Macncheezl
