How You Get One

this creature is not tamed
Egg only Cannot be tamed. Steal a Magmasaur Egg from a lava nest and raise it.

Step by step

  1. Find a Magmasaur nest in the volcanic biome — Genesis: Part 1's volcano, or Fjordur's lava areas.
  2. Take the egg. The adults are stationary but hit hard and the ground itself does damage; heat resistance matters more than combat here.
  3. Incubate the egg in extreme heat — a Magmasaur egg needs a far hotter incubation band than any ordinary egg, which is why standard air conditioner setups do not work.
  4. Raise the hatchling. It eats Sulfur, Ambergris and stone-type resources rather than meat or berries.

Also true

  • Torpor-immune: it cannot be knocked out, so no tranquiliser count on this page applies to taming it.

Torpor

  • This creature is torpor-immune to conventional tranquilisers. Darts, arrows and Narcotics will not drop it, so the torpor figures elsewhere on this page describe its stat, not a route to taming it.

Holding it still

Chain BolaFired from a Ballista or Harpoon Launcher. Grounds flyers and pins them where they land.
Large Bear TrapSame idea as the Bear Trap, sized for the big stuff. Bait it into walking over one.

That's the full list — nothing else immobilizes a Magmasaur, per the game's own immobilizer table (drag weight 555).

Tame Guide

traps, methods & egg runs

Wild Magmasaurs cannot be tamed. The survivor must steal and hatch Magmasaur Egg, or have two tamed Magmasaur breed in a lava puddle at the Volcano Biome Simulation to produce an egg. Magmasaur eggs can only be found in Magmasaur nests. The best way to steal them is to use a Cactus Broth and ghillie armor to avoid getting detected, and then use Grappling Hooks, and a glider suit skin to fly around until you find a good egg. Prepare a teleportation and grab the egg at the last second to avoid getting hit.

Baby Magmasaurs require Ambergris or Sulfur to feed off until adulthood, which the former are only obtainable through mining glowing cracked/tinted green rock found in the lunar (or space biome, in the case of Genesis: Part 2) biome. It can also be found in caves on Fjordur. Ambergris restores 500 food on babies, and they have a 20 minute spoil timer upon acquisition.

As Ambergris can be stored in Fridges and Tek Troughs, it is advised to use the Tek trough when accessible, to preserve the Ambergris up to, at most, one day to feed Juvenile and Adolescent Magmasaurs.

Magmasaur babies lose 12 Food / per minute, or 720 food / per hour, within their baby state. Their consumption rates will be much lower upon reaching adolescent and adult stages.
