The fiery lizard in the ARK: Survival Evolved expansion Genesis cannot be tamed. We will tell you how to still get to a dangerous Magmasaur.
The Magmasaur is an impressive fiery lizard and cannot be tamed in the conventional way. Unlike the Bloodstalker or the Giant Tortoise, you have to breed a Magmasaur yourself.
Location – Here you can find the Magmasaur eggs
The lizards are at home in the volcano biome and feel comfortable in close proximity to lava. To breed your own Magmasaur, you need a fertilized egg, which you can find in the caves beneath the volcano. You can already tell when picking up whether an egg is fertilized. However, according to players, there are only fertilized eggs in the caves anyway.
How to get the eggs: Stealing a Magmasaur’s eggs is not easy. YouTuber nooblets.com has some tips:
- Take a Bloodstalker: With the help of the Bloodstalker, you can enter the cave, devour the smaller enemies, and swing down to the eggs. Once you have collected the egg, quickly swing back up. Provided you can handle the Bloodstalker correctly.
- Take a Ferox: With a Ferox, it’s a bit easier. Just jump over most enemies and avoid the large stone golems and Magmasaurs. Jump down to the eggs, grab them and climb out. Feed the Ferox enough element beforehand so that it doesn’t revert back in the middle.
- Take a Grappling Hook: Armed with a grappling hook, you enter the cave. Take enough weapons and ammunition for the small enemies and try to avoid the big ones. Look for a spot where there are hardly any Magmasaurs and grab an egg. Then disappear with the grappling hook as quickly as possible.
- Use your HLN-A drone: Go into the cave equipped with a Ghille suit and look for an egg that is not guarded. Activate a portal with HLN-A and collect the egg just before teleporting.
How to hatch the Magmasaur egg
Once you have successfully stolen a fertilized egg from the cave, return to your base. Build a small room with at least 9 air conditioners inside and place the egg down. You then have about 5 hours to take care of other things.
What you need for an air conditioner:
- Craft at the fabricator
- 80 metal ingots
- 15 electronic parts
- 5 polymer
- 15 crystals
- Requires electricity to operate
What you need to consider: Once the Magmasaur babies have hatched, they need food. As babies, they only eat Ambergris, feces from the Space Whale. You can find this in the moon biome, just look for stones that shimmer blue/green.
However, you only get a small amount of Ambergris from the respective stones. Ideally, use a mining laser or an Ankylosaurus to be as effective as possible. Otherwise, a pickaxe and some time will suffice.
Ambergris satisfies the hunger of the babies by 500 and spoils after 15 minutes. In a refrigerator, it lasts for about a day.
