Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a phoenix? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a phoenix.
Welcome to the ultimate guide to the Phoenix 🐦🔥 if you want to tame this guy you should at first prepare tons of fire arrows or level up the damage of your fire wyvern. Finding this guy is incredibly difficult because he is only found in heat waves and is not to big but once you do locate him (or her it does not matter they don’t have genders) wait until he turns into ash at the end of a heatwave and build a cage around the ashes when there is another heatwave and he comes back burn him it’s the only way to tame him he likes fire 🔥. Once you have your own phoenix he (or her) can be very useful he is a fire so it can cook and melt metal (but for some reason not scrap) it also poops silicon pearls and on the rare occasion black pearls 😀. In battle he is not the best but still powerful enough to burn most wild creatures he has three attacks bite,fireball,and scratch (which can also damage rocks 🪨) and also he cannot land and walk so he regains stamina in the air as long as you don’t move or have run on.

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:)
If you’re on the new ultimate mobile edition then you can wait for the first heatwave and change settings so that day night cycle is set to 0 and then it will freeze time and weather making it last forever and this gives endless time for one to spawn and for you to find one I hope this helped:)
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!
So can we just wack it with an ascendant touch untill it's tamed?
They eat sulfur after taming. Mine almost starved to death before I figured it out. I couldn't find anything anywhere about feeding them after taming them. Hope this helps!
If you own Bob’s tales, the Gene scanner can be used to locate the ash pile
Trap it Bring high Melee Fire Wyvern second one other Gender for Mate Boost . Blast it with Fire 😁 u Welcome
This Might Take you a day or so but how I got my pheonix was i would look everywhere for a pheonix during a heatwave and you have to wait for the next heatwave to start this when you see the pheonix follow it and when it goes to the ground build a trap above where it despawned and when another heatwave starts it will be trapped: REQUIRED JERBOA AND FIRE WYVERN
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.
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...
It introduced a new taming method,while not the pseudo-boss we prayed 4 but to tame it u set it on fire with flame arrow,flame throweror a fire Wyvern,they only spawn during heat waves.keep this in mind.
On scorched, be sure you have full ghillie(heat) and a jerboa(super easy tame) to notify you of weather events. Phoenix only comes during heat wave so listen for “high pitch purr” from your jerboa. Search the map and find this awesome bird! Once that’s done just wait and see where it despawns when heat wave is over. You will see a glowing light on the ground. BUILD A PEN AT LEAST 6 WALLS HIGH AND 6 WALLS WIDE AROUND THAT SPOT. Reason is it tends to respawn above the ground since it never lands. Next heat wave, pray your calculations are correct and it’s trapped! After that just use a flame thrower OR fire wyvern to burn the Phoenix for tame. Again, this thing only spawns during heat waves so be efficient!
