    The wait is over—Astraeos, the breathtaking map crafted by Nekatus and sponsored by Nitrado, has officially arrived as an Official Partner DLC!

    Spanning ~264km², this vast, ever-expanding landscape seamlessly connects to the main clusters with official servers. But this is just the beginning—like the legends that inspired it, Astraeos will continue to grow, with new realms, challenges, and updates shaping the world over time.

    Step into the realm of gods, uncover its secrets, and begin your legendary journey today!

    Alongside this map, you will encounter a new creature, the Maeguana. Its motherly nature will help nurture your babies, and its skin membrane will guide you to safety.

    This striking variant of the Maewing fuses the agility of its counterpart with a robust, reptilian appearance worthy of the gods of the pantheon.

    I'm begging you guys, I made an account just to reach out ...... The Phoenix. The scarcity of heat waves on scorched means me sitting at my PC all day still doesn't mean I can tame one, which has already happened. Yet to encounter the heatwave. There has to be a better way than me grabbing a clone from somebody. This is broken. PLEASE HELP🤕

    I don't quite understand but I think you're looking for a phoenix right? Well try putting a parasaur in turret mode and transport it with a wyvern, it will signal all the creatures around and also the phoenix, even if it's underground

    Yes, right, but I'm still waiting over 10 in real life hours for the possibility of a heat wave

    you are lucky if you just wait 10 hours, i have seen days (real days) between heat waves,  i did manage to tamed half of dozen phoenixes but it is just a matter of being on at the right time
