Phoenix — Detailed Guide

The Phoenix is a rare firebird from Scorched Earth that only appears during a Heat Wave. A tamed Phoenix works as a living forge. It smelts metal, refines gasoline and cooks meat in its inventory, and it also produces Silica Pearls.

Where to find it

Scorched Earth in both games, plus Astraeos in ASA. It flies high in the sky during a Heat Wave. When the event ends it turns to ash, and it is reborn at the next one.

Taming

A passive tame done with fire. Hit it repeatedly with fire damage: a Flamethrower, Flame Arrows, Oil Jars or, most effectively, Fire Wyvern breath. Finish before the Heat Wave ends. It can be ridden without a saddle, but riders cannot use weapons.

Uses

  • Live Furnace: smelts metal, refines gasoline and cooks raw meat in about 5 seconds.
  • Pearls: produces Silica Pearls and, rarely, Black Pearls.
  • Travel and fighting: a fast flyer with a Fireball that sets enemies alight.

Tips

It heals while taking fire damage, so fire does not hurt it during the tame. Do not take it to Aberration, because it is not immune to the sunlight debuff there.
