How To Tame A Phoenix In ARK Survival Ascended | Scorched Earth

Taming a phoenix in Scorched Earth may seem straightforward, but the process involves a few intricate steps. Before diving into it, you'll first need to locate a phoenix, which can be challenging due to its ability to spawn anywhere on the map. However, we recommend searching along the edges of the map, as they often fly solo and prefer less conspicuous locations.

Identifying a phoenix is relatively easy as they are engulfed in flames, making them stand out, particularly during the darker hours from evening until nightfall. Once you've spotted one, the next step is taming it, which may initially seem counterintuitive but essentially involves igniting it.

Setting the Phoenix on fire is the sole method to increase its taming bar, and there are a couple of ways to accomplish this. The first method involves using a flamethrower, a tool introduced in this DLC. With a flying tame, you can approach the Phoenix and ignite it using the Flamethrower.

Alternatively, a quicker method is to employ a creature that exhales fire, such as the Fire Wyvern. If you have a tamed Wyvern, simply fly it up to the Phoenix and unleash its fire breath to ignite the target and boost its taming bar.

This method tends to be faster than using the Flamethrower, especially with a powerful Wyvern whose fire breath is more potent, resulting in a swifter increase in the taming bar. Once the taming bar reaches its maximum, the Phoenix will be tamed and will accompany you until you land, ready to soar through the skies of ARK Survival Ascended Scorched Earth.
