in the current version of the game a bug exists that will overwrite your existing magnus with a newly tamed magnus; this guide tries to explain why it happens and what you can do to avoid it happening to you

When you tame a new magnus it automatically gets deposited into your barn; starting at coastal room 1 it will check for a free space

the problem occurs when moving magnus around; because the game gets confused and sort of ghosts the magnus between the two spots

example:

you have draconewt in coastal room 1 slot 1 (cr1s1) like so:


you move draconewt to a new slot in a different room (for this example lets say coastal room 2 slot 1)

you go and tame a new magnus (in this case a moota) and:


moota (or your new tame) is in cr1s2... this is because the game erroneously still believes your draconewt is in cr1s1

continuing the previous example:

- you tame 3 more magnus; they occupy cr1s3-5 (filling room 1)

- you tame 1 more magnus; since the game still erroneously believes your previously moved draconewt is still in cr1s1; it doesnt think anything is in cr2s1 (despite that being where you moved your draconewt to); this new tame then occupies that slot; overwriting your draconewt

simply save, quit and reload every time you move magnus around; reloading seems to force the game to recognise the new location of a magnus (deleting its 'ghost' if you will)

keep coastal room 1 free (note that if you're moving stuff out of it you will have to save quit and reload to get rid of their 'ghosts' inhabiting their old location); if the room is free then the game wont have to skip over any existing magnus (potentially deleting them) when you get a new tame

not necessary if you're following the above steps; but good practice to keep your save backed up (*boot drive*:\Users\*user*\AppData\LocalLow\Magnus Games Studio\ReLegend\76561198047605454)
