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

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:)

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

So can we just wack it with an ascendant touch untill it's tamed?

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.

Only appear in heat waves, reappear in the same spot they were last heat wave, taming carries over from heat wave to heat wave. Possible taming methods include using a griffin and a flame thrower, tapping its pile of ashes in between heat waves, and chasing it down with a fire wyvern.

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!

Use fire wyvern to tame it...Hard to use fire weapons as it doesn't seem to land

The higher the damage of the weapon the faster it tames, so attacking stat on wyverns matters when taming, and the damage percent of the weapon firing the fire arrow, and the dmg percent of the flame thrower also matters

If you can transfer- use a griffin + flamethrower. Wyvern works well too but I had better luck with the former method.

If you can’t find the ashes but know the general location of where the Phoenix was, use a Parasuar set to “All” to detect it.

Can use flame thrower and fire wyvern Dododex fix this

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.

You can tame it with a flamethrower too, if you have someone ride a Tappy or Griffin, sit on the back and have the flamethrower at the ready.

You find this creature during heat waves so what you do is lure it next to your base it will then turn to ash when heat wave is over then you build window wood walls around and put a roof then all you have to do is wait till next heat wave then take a Wyvern or flame flower and light em up!

Best to follow it, and watch it's ashes fall. Build a *5 high* trap with stone doorways. Make sure it has a roof. At the next super heat bring over a fire wyvern. Use rare flowers to lure it closer to your base just to make it easier.

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!

Why don’t people build a trap after u followed it in the last heat wave were it disappeared?

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.

Hit it with a fire wyvern taming goes up massively
