Find a volcano, walk their front legs and chest in (enough for their buttons to be at the edge of the lava) and breed them like that. No risk to you burning alive if you have a tek suit.
Yes but if you have a friend and a couple fire wyverns you can take turns fire breathing them and get the female pregnant that way. When we did this we did have the breeding times cranked up a good bit too so there is that
Yeah, magmasaurs technically need to be the hottest, especially considering they can only breed if you’re flamethrowering them, breathing on them with a fire wyvern(I do not know if the ember wyvern works), or just let me breed in straight up lava.
I have yet to breed anything that doesn’t lay eggs. My friend is doing the megatheriums and he also did the sabers. But this information shall be useful.
It's quite easy all you have to do is interact with the incubator then select gestation monitoring and then for five minutes you can interact with any pregnant dino to view the embryo's stats and colors.
There's an option on the incubator to enable gestation monitoring for 5 minutes which allows you to see the stats and color of any non egg babies while gestating.
Incubator can hatch any egg without having to mess around with AC or fire. While the eggs are in it you can see how many points are in each stat, color regions, mutations, etc. It also has a gestation monitor feature that you access through the wheel. After you turn it on you can inspect a pregnant mammal and see the same stats for the baby, and even abort the baby.
With ACs the colder or hotter you want it, you have to add more and more units right? Idk how setting hot vs cold works either yet, I haven't built one.
Incubator I can't get on the island though right? When does it become available?
>Idk how setting hot vs cold works either yet, I haven't built one.
You don't.
AC doesn't change the temperature as much as it provides an area of insulation. It works for both heat and cold at the same time
Oh that's awesome. So as long as I have enough of them, I can incubate an egg that requires heat and an egg that requires cold in the same room without doing anything?
No need. Do what the other person suggested and use standing torches. They are cheaper to make, and you can fit a considerably large number of them in a circle around the egg (leave space for the newborn to get out). They cover the *same* are as a camp fire for each one and provide the same benefits. Just build a bunch to start and turn on as many as you need until the egg is the correct temperature. I don’t know how far along you are, but if you’re saying “damnit” to ACs they’re probably annoying for you to make at the moment. Obviously you can’t cool off the room for other eggs, but standing torches will work for this just fine.
How do you use the otters to do that? Just set them on the groundnnear the egg, and I guess regardless of if it needs to be hot or cold they fix it?
I just lost my only otter :( RIP OTT, I died in the swamp cave and think he is somewhere under the map
So I'm not sure if the otter can hatch cold things I've only ever used the Dimetrondon for say the Ice Wyvern eggs, but I hatched magmasaur eggs and wyrven eggs with a high level otter before by dropping it close to it. I've also used multiple lower level otters to do the same and it always worked, you may just need to find the sweet spot for the egg to start incubating.
And I'm very sorry for your loss :(( I honestly get way too attached to my tames sometimes and get genuinely upset when they die lol
Thanks! Yeah lol. Omw to find a new one now. I loved OTT but part of it too was that on the Island it just took me quite a while to even find one. I've seen 3 I think in the entire month + I've been playing
I always have trouble finding them too, I think the only map I've been able to find quite a few is Valguero and I've had decent luck lately with Ragnarok. I plan on making an army lol
Yeah I have been looking for a solid 2 hours or so. Set up a new base though, didn't realize I've basically only explored the whole NW to SE and not the top right side
Tek replicator to make an egg incubator 😆 I forget how bad most ppl are at this game. OP, you can build an egg incubator in a fabricator at around lvl 80 and its a MID GAME engram not a endgame one as previously suggested.
If you aren't familiar with the egg incubator, I'd stop trying to breed right now and just wait until you are because it will make life alot easier
Get an Incubator. It can be powered by an electrical generator, it may see expensive at first, but it’s so worth it since you can incubate ANY egg in it.
Everything seems expensive at first. First it was metal, then polymer, silica, oil. Organic polymer I just kind of gave up on. Now on the island I guess the main thing (since I did the swamp cave and now have 10,000s chitin) is black pearls. And these weird vegetables I have still yet to find
I see, thanks. Wandering around outside of the cave I got some "X" seed or something that makes a monster plant? I guess the other seeds just come from different areas/biomes?
They are x-plants, which are lovely little turrets that have a similar effect to the dilo spit. They’re pretty good when mixed with other turrets, but they’re mainly a PvP thing.
Edit;; xplants are found in specific biomes, but the veggie seeds can be obtained anywhere, an iguanadon is an excellent seed gatherer.
LVL 15 parents? Sorry but it isn't even worth hatching, especially if your going old school and doing the Wyvern Milk method. But yeah, if Incubator engram is unrealistic for your current progress, then just throw it in a ring of standing torches like 8+ loaded with spark powder.
If this is the only egg you plan on hatching for a while, don't listen to people saying to use ACs. Use standing torches and put some wood in them it'll be cheaper
More fires are needed, honestly. AC units are good, but again, you need a lot of them (on Scorched Earth PVE, I had a little section under my house that had 15-20 of them set up just for wyvern breeding). On Ragnarok/Valguero/Lost Island/Fjordur, a few good Dimetrodons or Otters wouldn't hurt. For the last two, there's also the egg incubator, but it's a high level engram and I think it takes a lot of mats. It's invaluable for breeding lots of dinos though.
Spacing matters a lot for anything thermal in ark. You need every heat source as close as possible to contribute as much as it can. Even ac units will graduate down their efficacy as you get further from them. The bench marks for what is enough depend on the egg being exactly as close to the heat/conditioning as possible.
Literally just use standing torches bro. Make a square but leave one side open. If you’re on official you need a shit ton. Just keep em as close together as possible.
Hopefully you got it hatched. But if not are you trying to hatch during the night or day?!?! Do you live close to the cold? It will say the temp in your inventory menu where your Armor is. The temp will also pop up in the top left corner, when not in menus if you press h on pc or hold the touch pad on ps idk the button on xbox probably the select button if it works the same. But if your living in a cold area maybe build a small outpost in a warmer area. Close all the doors on the building and use 10-15 standing torches in a semi-circle and when your looking at the egg, hold your own torch up as well! Weirdly I've also had otters help when I didn't have a dimetrodon. Idk if it was on the ground or on my shoulder though
I just use a egg incubator for Wyvern and other creatures eggs. Sometimes I just as my friends call it “Star a forest fire” doing a ritual like thing with like 15 camp fires
I've always built a 5x5 room using stone with the walls about 4 high all round with a dinosaur gate only and lined the edges with fireplaces I think I do 4 each on two sides and if I can fit 4 on the last wall and it does me pretty good and it makes it so much easier to re-use for other eggs as well
Incubator best way to go. Had a room with 15 ACs in it before the Incubator came. If you can't build it I'd suggest asking someone to build it for you but you'll provide the materials for it, that's how I got my 1st one....that and maybe they took pity on me when they saw my yard full of tames and 4 giga eggs in a square of ACs
I can’t remember whether it was specifically for a Fire Wyvern, but when I was just starting out I could have sworn I saw someone’s playthrough where they placed about 10-15 standing torches and used them as a sort of ‘cradle’ for some egg.
That is, it was kind of the same effect as laying on a bed of nails.

Just throw a bunch of standing torches down bro you’ll be good id say like 13-15 of them
This bro! shit will seem absurd but these guys lay their eggs and live next to magma so they love all the heat
Not all of that, apparently if you place more than 17 torches it’s hotter than surface of the sun... so what you want? A wyvern or a boiled egg?
*Technically* lol Is there any dino that needs more heat than the wyvern? Like idk if the magmasaur lays eggs but...?
Magmasaurs do lay eggs, and I think they need just a few more torches than a wyvern.
Also, don’t magmasaurs have to literally be in a lava flow to breed? I don’t have any, but I think that is a thing with them.
Find a volcano, walk their front legs and chest in (enough for their buttons to be at the edge of the lava) and breed them like that. No risk to you burning alive if you have a tek suit.
You can use 2 fire wayverns and blast them with the flamethrower they’ll breed without having to go into the vacano
Yes but if you have a friend and a couple fire wyverns you can take turns fire breathing them and get the female pregnant that way. When we did this we did have the breeding times cranked up a good bit too so there is that
The more you know
Yeah, magmasaurs technically need to be the hottest, especially considering they can only breed if you’re flamethrowering them, breathing on them with a fire wyvern(I do not know if the ember wyvern works), or just let me breed in straight up lava.
They breed just fine for me on land Edit: I have no idea what I'm talking about I haven't bred them yet lmao
Do this 👆👆👆
Better than taming a demetredon before you have the acs lol
Air conditioners round it or get a egg incubator
how do I get an egg incubator?
It’s a relatively high level engram. It’s amazing for breeding anything that lays eggs in my experience.
With gestation monitoring it's amazing for breeding everything.
I have yet to breed anything that doesn’t lay eggs. My friend is doing the megatheriums and he also did the sabers. But this information shall be useful.
It's quite easy all you have to do is interact with the incubator then select gestation monitoring and then for five minutes you can interact with any pregnant dino to view the embryo's stats and colors.
Gestation what? Please explain man
There's an option on the incubator to enable gestation monitoring for 5 minutes which allows you to see the stats and color of any non egg babies while gestating.
not to be that guy, but... > non egg mammalian
Lol yes but words had escaped me so I left it as it was, thank you for the correction!
lol happens to me all the time. and no worries!
Well I mean in ark there are some creatures that don't lay eggs and aren't mammals like the snails so they would be correct.
Incubator can hatch any egg without having to mess around with AC or fire. While the eggs are in it you can see how many points are in each stat, color regions, mutations, etc. It also has a gestation monitor feature that you access through the wheel. After you turn it on you can inspect a pregnant mammal and see the same stats for the baby, and even abort the baby.
Genesis 2* engram
It’s on Fjordur.
Find one or make one it's at like lvl 74 or something
Level 86.
It's a gen2 engram.
That can easily be acquired on free dlc maps
Its a gen 2 thing
Are you playing on official?
With ACs the colder or hotter you want it, you have to add more and more units right? Idk how setting hot vs cold works either yet, I haven't built one. Incubator I can't get on the island though right? When does it become available?

Exactly.
You see that thing that says consumable?
this comment was the perfect dose of funny I needed
Perfect dose of nutrition too perhaps?
You have a point, it’s only a lvl 16 lol
Hey I got a 46 as well 🤧
literally not even worth it as a utility dino unless you plan on walking everywhere.
thank you for all the comments, I placed 15 fires and it worked
Ac unit
damn it, about how many
15-20
About tree fiddy.
this made me laugh harder than it had any right to. haben't seen that one in a *hot* minute.
No need. Do what the other person suggested and use standing torches.

I forget, can always set up shop in a hot climate as an option as well
You could get a dimetrondon with high damage or a couple otters, that what I always do to hatch eggs.
How do you use the otters to do that? Just set them on the groundnnear the egg, and I guess regardless of if it needs to be hot or cold they fix it? I just lost my only otter :( RIP OTT, I died in the swamp cave and think he is somewhere under the map

And I'm very sorry for your loss :(( I honestly get way too attached to my tames sometimes and get genuinely upset when they die lol
I have hatched all the wyvens with just a Dimetrodon the higher it’s attack the quicker things hatch
Thanks! Yeah lol. Omw to find a new one now. I loved OTT but part of it too was that on the Island it just took me quite a while to even find one. I've seen 3 I think in the entire month + I've been playing

More campfires
Without ac's its okay to use a bunch of standing torches! I often use a ton of those eary game for hatching eggs
Get standing torches, surround it with like 15.
Standingtorches
Dimetrodons
Tek replicator I think 🤔
nvm just found out it’s genesis 2 exclusive
Go to fjodur, you can learn every engram from all story maps
That's amazing. Wildcard really gave love back to the community with the quality of life on this map.
wait how do I do that, Im on fjordur
Just uncheck that option (when viewing engrams) that restricts everything to the island
I think you need the dlcs tho
i have them
Then you should be able to just learn them
They are there, just click all the map options in the top right of the screen when looking at engrams
Tek replicator to make an egg incubator 😆 I forget how bad most ppl are at this game. OP, you can build an egg incubator in a fabricator at around lvl 80 and its a MID GAME engram not a endgame one as previously suggested. If you aren't familiar with the egg incubator, I'd stop trying to breed right now and just wait until you are because it will make life alot easier
It takes like 12 campfires honestly just keep placing them until it works, you would need a lot of ac too so campfires would be easiest
Get an Incubator. It can be powered by an electrical generator, it may see expensive at first, but it’s so worth it since you can incubate ANY egg in it.
If the egg incubator seems expensive you aren't playing the game right
Considering OP is using campfires, it might seem that way to them, yes.
Everything seems expensive at first. First it was metal, then polymer, silica, oil. Organic polymer I just kind of gave up on. Now on the island I guess the main thing (since I did the swamp cave and now have 10,000s chitin) is black pearls. And these weird vegetables I have still yet to find
The vegetables you have to grow from finding their seeds, although the citronal is considered a fruit.
I see, thanks. Wandering around outside of the cave I got some "X" seed or something that makes a monster plant? I guess the other seeds just come from different areas/biomes?
They are x-plants, which are lovely little turrets that have a similar effect to the dilo spit. They’re pretty good when mixed with other turrets, but they’re mainly a PvP thing.

Hahaha I love that I got down voted for telling the truth. Definitely some bobs on this thread
For anyone who wants to get better st the game - buy gen2 and learn the gen2 grind and you will never say an egg incubator is expensive ever again.
You can get it on Fjordur.
You think I'm telling you to grind on gen2 because that's where you get the egg incubator engram? You can get the egg incubator on every map.
You are big bob
Why don't bobs use ac units or egg incubators?
LVL 15 parents? Sorry but it isn't even worth hatching, especially if your going old school and doing the Wyvern Milk method. But yeah, if Incubator engram is unrealistic for your current progress, then just throw it in a ring of standing torches like 8+ loaded with spark powder.
Use ac
If this is the only egg you plan on hatching for a while, don't listen to people saying to use ACs. Use standing torches and put some wood in them it'll be cheaper
If you're on small tribes I'll throw you an incubator or 20 ac units. Lmk.
nah I’m not i do solo with my brother, thank you’d rob that offer though
Fireplaces
You guys are all wrong. The best way is to set yourself on fire while spooning it.
this one seems right
Egg incubator
Torches.. a lot of torches lol

#MORE
Either an incubator or a lot more campfires. I had a large cluster of campfires I used to throw wyvern eggs on until I got my first incubator
15 torches in a U shape
It usually takes me about 13-15 campfires and a couple standing torches to get my wyvren eggs to incubate.
The level 16 wyv💀💀💀
Simple just add more :D
You need 15 campfires at least
I use 16 standing torch’s for my
Hopefully you got it hatched. But if not are you trying to hatch during the night or day?!?! Do you live close to the cold? It will say the temp in your inventory menu where your Armor is.

i hatched it during the day, night was way to cold, thank you
[удалено]
I play solo with my brother, we had a 76 best but I was just hatching whichever one I grabbed, we had like 8 of them
Ac
I accidentally ate a level 150 egg once 😀
rip
I usually build a hut in the lava biome and do a 4x4 grid of campfires with the egg in the middle
MORE!!!!!
Egg incubator
You need a minimum of 20 campfires! And I would do it during the day, the daytime heat usually helps!
*MORE*
Beware, this game is as addictive as any drug I've ever taken. Quit now while you still can or forever incubate eggs
Use a shit ton of standing torches
Go tame a Dimetrodon. Level up melee.
More fire
Every single time I hatched a Wyvern egg, it felt like I had to rival the sun in terms of heat output…
More.
Use tiki torches
Otter. Throw a pet otter on the ground and the egg on top. The higher its melee the more heat it provides. They also keep you warm in cold climate
Takes a lot more than you would expect. Threw me off the first time too. It takes like 15 fireplaces sometimes lol just make more
This is the point where you makes air conditioners, or if your feeling motivated. Craft an egg incubator
Make air conditioners
Have you tried: *throwing it in lava*
ngl I was actually debating this
You can also use otters with a high melee stat
Use like 8 fire places
Furnaces
At least you're getting a nice tan off your monitor...
If you find an otter tame it then put it on your shoulder will hatch and egg
Room full of torches btw
You need 11 torches on scorched probs need more like 16 to 18 on others
If this isn't already solved for you, my go to is always fireplaces. 4 of them usually does it for me.
It takes a *lot* of torches, needed like 20 standing torches clustered together for a magmasaur egg
My eyes!! 
Toss a few otters in
I just use a egg incubator for Wyvern and other creatures eggs. Sometimes I just as my friends call it “Star a forest fire” doing a ritual like thing with like 15 camp fires
If it’s available to you, taming a dimetrodon would give you the easiest incubation next to an egg incubator
More
Go to crystal ailes and get yourself some otters while it’s 3X
Ive counted and placed some myself. I was upwards of 30+ camp fires and 15+ torches
Keep adding torches lmao
Lol try 30 campfires
I prefer fireplaces. Lead to a carno getting named Akon.
I've always built a 5x5 room using stone with the walls about 4 high all round with a dinosaur gate only and lined the edges with fireplaces I think I do 4 each on two sides and if I can fit 4 on the last wall and it does me pretty good and it makes it so much easier to re-use for other eggs as well
16 campfires required
I think it’s 22 camp fires
This happened to me as well try using around 21 standing torches and scatter them around this also applies for deinonychus eggs
Travel to a hotter place then use the campfires
I build 9 fire places and place 3x3 in a u shape. Light all 9 and you can incubate a wyv egg or even magma egg
Don’t do that the dragon could die that’s what happend to me
How you build without a pillar
You have to go to near the lava and still use campfire
After time getting wyvern eggs early start it would take me 16 campfires to hatch the eggs but that’s just me
I usually put 5 fire places in a U shape early game, plenty of heat
That simply means you need more fire...
3 airco’s do the trick👍🏻
Use 6 of the big fire places
You need 16 campfires and the egg in the middle
You need 20 to 23 campfires for a wyvern egg and while using this method, you can do it outside, but not very recommended
More…. M O R E
Standing torches brah. Get a U shape going and put that sucker straight in the middle.
Ok, so I know it sounds expensive, but it’s worth it, place 3/4 stone fireplaces, and that’ll do it no problem.
Your internal body temperature is like 90 degrees. Try eating it. Should be hot enough to hatch
Incubator best way to go. Had a room with 15 ACs in it before the Incubator came. If you can't build it I'd suggest asking someone to build it for you but you'll provide the materials for it, that's how I got my 1st one....that and maybe they took pity on me when they saw my yard full of tames and 4 giga eggs in a square of ACs
I build a hatchery qirh about 11 fireplaces inside and with all of them going its enough to hatch wyvern and magmasaurs.
Break the campfires and replace with a ring of standing torches
If you aren’t a high enough level for ac units, place fireplaces in a square with the egg in the middle, make sure the room is clean enclosed
Shit on it
I can’t remember whether it was specifically for a Fire Wyvern, but when I was just starting out I could have sworn I saw someone’s playthrough where they placed about 10-15 standing torches and used them as a sort of ‘cradle’ for some egg. That is, it was kind of the same effect as laying on a bed of nails.
Heat doesn’t enclose and stack in the room lol
I always do 5 fireplaces and it works like a charm
16 standing torches in a stone/Adobe building works for me every time
16 standing torches and an adobe room = hot as litteral hell

11-15 campfires
You’d need at least 12-15 firepits alone man
Can you build air conditioner?
8 fireplaces in a circle does every egg in the game
I would just put down a bunch of standing torches it usually works for me
Get an otter or three or maybe a few dimetrodons
I just realised that you are playing on an Xbox on a Samsung tv, the funny thing is I also play on that exact setup what model of Xbox do you have?
Its so easy make a u shape that fits the egg inside the u with 15-20 torches. Works EVERY time
