Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a phoenix? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a phoenix.
So if you find one here’s a good tip if ur high level and are playing this map for fun this tip isn’t for everybody if you have a tech bow then u can equip fire arrows and instant tame it but u still have to find it it’s best to look at night and then get the over all spot then tame a parasaur (I think that’s how you spell that) and do the search thingy I do know this world on computer haven’t tried it on console but tech bow fire arrows instant tame but that’s how you tame it with that and a good way to find it hope you do find it with my tips and have a good day
aparrently putting something to sleep and feeding it its favorite food is considered violent but setting a bird ON FRICKIN FIRE isnt wow wildcard
Honestly I just hit it with a fire wyvern until it either drops or gets tamed, I mean it's a pain to tame but who doesn't want A Moltres? Trapping it gives me a headache and your character doesn't have to do jack so realistically a stam wyvern is the play. Do I like them? No. Does Silica, Cooked Meat, and Metal go brrrrrrrr? Yes. I'd rate this tame and tame method a solid 6/10 (Unique but really just and indiforge with a twist or some clout showing you have too much time to spend... I've had 3 at one point 😂) -Racc Ark Veteran
You can use the wynern to breath fire on it and follow it round during the heatwave it makes easier to trame without using a random flyar and hit it with a trouch
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.
You can flame thrower at it and it is faster
Use fire wyvern to tame it...Hard to use fire weapons as it doesn't seem to land
It shouldn’t be called “Passive tame” it should be called “Aggressive tame” most of them should.
There only found during SE Heatwaves but when you find one wait till event ends trap around its remains ( they spawn at that place when the event starts back up) then when it spawns again flamethrower it until it tames or just throw a oil jar under it and light it if you don't have a flamethrower
This is another way if you don't wanna wait for the heatwave again get a flier with a taming box (preferably a Quetzal) and chase the flame bird until it gets stuck in the box make sure it can't escape and flamethrower it or do the second option I put
Hope this helps

Trap it in a stone /adobe monkey trap and put a roof on fast. My opinion is to get a fire wyvern or a catapult with fire projectiles and attack till tamed.
It can be cloned! I just froze mine with an owl and the cloner recognized it. Will have to force it to “land” otherwise the machine won’t recognize the Phoenix is on there.
Trap the ashes and then wait till the super heat comes back then burn it
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’t find the ashes but know the general location of where the Phoenix was, use a Parasuar set to “All” to detect it.
Would be helpful if it stated how much flamethrower durability and how much flamethrower ammo was needed to tame this. Even a system like the tranq where you can put in damage of a bow, flamethrower, or wyvern and it will tell you how much of each it will take.
If you can transfer- use a griffin + flamethrower. Wyvern works well too but I had better luck with the former method.
Can use flame thrower and fire wyvern Dododex fix this
Food
It's diet consists of Sulfur
Alright so I literally just found and tamed my very first phoenix after weeks of searching with no luck. I had originally used the parasaur method to scan around, then I would frantically fly around during heatwaves, again with no luck.
I just found one by using a Tek Stryder with the Radar rig. After about 30 minutes of wandering around scanning I finally found my first pheonix. It was located behind the mountains of red ob in the desert but they could literally be anywhere so don’t narrow your search to the red ob mountains!!!
Happy hunting, hope this helps!
Heat wave is best time to find it
