Ride A Pet Volcanic Egg: How to Get It & Hatch Results

Find the Volcanic Egg, follow the cave entry and upward escape, then bring it home and hatch it. Includes route diagrams and timestamped videos.

Your route at a glance

Use these two diagrams to remember the order of the cave landmarks. Match each opening to the entry video below before taking the egg.

Original route-memory diagrams based on the cited footage. These are not game screenshots, a compass map or a drawing of the exact cave geometry.

Where is the Volcanic Egg?

The destination is the lower area inside Volcano Island. For the outside approach, Pro Game Guides reports travelling past the Desert biome across the water, then looking for a small opening on the volcano’s right side. That outside approach is a published direction; our reviewed route footage starts at the doorway. Use the video’s view to identify the opening rather than treating “right” as a compass bearing.

The route video calls it a “Volcano Egg”; the ranch label in the hatch footage reads Volcanic Egg. This guide covers that named egg.

Before you leave the ranch

• Check for the named egg: look at the current world list or spawn announcement before making the trip.
• Leave basket space: deliver anything you are already carrying and check the current capacity message.
• Prepare for vertical movement: the demonstrated routes use flying mounts. Use a mount you can steer through narrow openings and practice climbing out before committing to a pickup.
• Learn the journey home: find your ranch marker and rehearse the outside route from the cave exit. Escaping the cave is only part of the delivery.

1. Enter the cave and reach the lower area

1. Match your view to the entrance at 0:11, then go through the doorway.
2. With the camera facing along the demonstrated route, the creator directs a left turn, a straight passage and another left at 0:16–0:24. Pause and compare the opening ahead before turning.
3. Descend through the floor opening shown around 0:25. Continue through the lower passage, following the next bend in the clip.
4. Use the lava and red crystals visible by 0:38 to recognize the lower area. Locate the egg, but practice the exit before picking it up.

If your camera or entry direction differs, align with the video first. The turn directions describe the creator’s view, not a universal left/right shortcut.

2. Rehearse the exit, then pick up the egg

Start the exit demonstration at 0:40. From the lower area, move along the shown passage, take the demonstrated right-hand bend and climb through the opening above. Continue along the next passage and climb again before heading out. The clip shows the first upward section around 0:48–0:50 and the next around 0:53–0:56.

Make a practice trip without the egg until you can find both upward openings. Then return to the egg and use the pickup prompt displayed for your device. Confirm that you are carrying it and read the warning before moving immediately along the rehearsed exit.

3. Escape upward and keep going home

Watch the countdown and keep moving. Do not stop at the guardian announcement or open your inventory to compare pets. If the home marker points through rock, look for the upward opening along your route; the marker does not show a passage through the wall.

Once outside, take your planned route to the ranch. Do not stop at a shop or assume leaving the volcano completes the task. Follow whichever carry warning is currently on screen.

The video below opens during an actual carry and escape at 11:32. Use its 12:30 chapter later to see the egg back at the ranch.

4. Place the egg and finish the hatch

1. At your ranch, check whether the egg is still being carried. Use the displayed placement prompt; if the game asks you to dismount, do that first.
2. After placement, read the egg’s progress and wait for Ready. Reaching home alone does not hatch it.
3. Approach the Ready egg and use Hatch. Follow the control shown on your device.
4. Read the result and find the pet in Pets. If placement or hatching is stuck, use the hatching checklist.

What can hatch from a Volcanic Egg?

The ranch footage at 12:30–12:36 shows the Volcanic Egg name and Ready label. The following hatch is described as Void Komodo Dragon, and the later Index shows Komodo. That is one recorded result, not a guaranteed pet or a complete hatch pool. This footage does not establish a Griffin drop rate.

Stuck? Match your problem to the next action

I cannot find the entrance.

Check the published Desert-side approach, then compare the small doorway with the first video at 0:11. Do not use the summit as your only target.

I keep hitting a wall on the way out.

Practice the upward openings at 0:48–0:56 without carrying an egg. Following only the home marker can lead into rock.

I leave the cave but lose the egg on the way home.

Rehearse the outside leg separately and keep travelling after the cave exit. Check the active carry warning rather than assuming the delivery is complete.

The egg is not there.

Recheck the named world target or announcement. This guide has no verified fixed respawn interval, so repeating a made-up timer will not help.

My radar finds nothing.

Read its target-tier message before spending again. A missed target alone does not prove that a more expensive radar is required. See the radar guide.

Do I need Phoenix, and exactly how much time do I get?

The route demonstrations use flying mounts, but they do not establish a universal minimum mount. The reviewed countdown shows 18.9 seconds and later 7.4 seconds remaining; those frames do not establish its starting duration. Practice with your mount and follow your live timer.

Hunting Griffin from this egg?

Use the step-by-step Griffin guide for preparation, hatch confirmation and failed-attempt fixes. A Volcanic Egg does not guarantee Griffin.

September 28: Griffin and Magma reports

New Griffin coverage recommends hatching Volcanic Eggs for a chance at Griffin. We have no verified probability or guaranteed result; the earlier Komodo example remains valid as one observed outcome.

Magma is a separate optional crater action: see the Magma mutation guide before diverting a timed delivery. New radar reports also disagree, so a missing marker is not a reason to buy a paid upgrade.
