We will cover where to find this dangerous herbivore, what materials to bring, and the best ways to successfully tame the Amargasaurus. You will learn essential tips and commands to prepare, tame, and then utilize this awesome dinosaur on your journey for survival in ARK.

Where do you find an Amargasaurus?

The Amargasaurus mostly stays on the Lost Island map. This map is free for ARK. Be very careful. This creature is very aggressive. It has a large area where it will attack. You must watch out for it in the middle and north parts of the map.

General Location and Behavior

This creature walks around in many different areas. You can find it where it is very hot or very cold. The Amargasaurus might live alone or in small groups. This can make the tame hard. You may have to kill its friends first. Watch how this creature moves in its location.

Identifying the Amargasaurus

The Amargasaurus looks special. It has two lines of sharp spikes on its neck, back, and tail. These clear spikes show you it is the right creature. The spikes hold hot or cold energy. This helps it live in many parts of the Lost Island. This makes it very relevant.

The Aggressive Nature

Know that the Amargasaurus is a mean plant-eater. It will attack most hunters and people. Its big aggro range means it will chase you far from its location. Before you tame, be ready to hit it with darts if its aggro is too high. You can also make it go, kill a nearby enemy. Always watch its quick moves.

How to prepare to take on this creature?

To tame the Amargasaurus, you must get ready. It is a passive tame, not a knockout. First, get your materials. You need Exceptional Kibble. This is the best food. You can use crops if you do not have the kibble.

Next, you must get hot or cold soup. Use Calien Soup for hot areas. Use Fria Curry for cold areas. The soup effect lasts for 15 minutes. Plan how many soups you need for the full taming progress. You need Sweet Veggie Cakes. These will heal the Amargasaurus if it gets hurt.

What does Amargasaurus eat in ARK?

To successfully tame the Amargasaurus, know what food it likes. The right food raises your taming effectiveness. This creature only eats plants. It likes special foods for a passive tame.

  • The best food to feed the Amargasaurus is Exceptional Kibble. This food is high-quality. It gives the fastest tame time. It also gives the highest effectiveness.

  • If you do not have the Exceptional Kibble, use crops. The taming process will be much slower.

  • When you feed it, be very careful. A mistake will quickly lower its taming effectiveness.

  • The Amargasaurus will not eat plain berries or meat while you tame. Do not bring those materials.

What tips and tricks do I need to learn to tame an Amargasaurus easily?

This creature is risky. A smart plan is key to successfully taming the Amargasaurus.

  • First, trap the Amargasaurus safely. This will protect it from other aggressive creatures.

  • You need to use the insulating soup to match heat with the Amargasaurus. Calien Soup is for the hot areas.

  • Once the heat matches, the Amargasaurus follows you. Stay close and feed it the Exceptional Kibble. Watch the taming progress.

  • Keep the Amargasaurus's health above 80%. This keeps the taming effectiveness high. If it gets hurt, the effectiveness drops.

  • The Amargasaurus only tries to kill meat-eaters. It leaves plant-eaters alone. You can make it attack other aggressive creatures to leave you alone.

  • If the Amargasaurus gets aggressive at you, drink your Calien Soup right away. This can stop the attack.

  • Use far-range weapons to help the Amargasaurus while it is fighting.

The taming effectiveness of an Amargasaurus is greatly affected by the food used during taming. High taming progress is achieved by using Exceptional Kibble, which you search for on YouTube.

What to do with an Amargasaurus after I tame it?

After you successfully tame the Amargasaurus, you have gained a powerful ally. When tamed, the Amargasaurus can use its spikes for combat, ejecting them to create thermal disruptions. This includes the devastating fire spikes. It is an aggressive herbivore that will attack most predators.

The Amargasaurus is great for defense and gathering materials. The spines are even useful for sap production if placed near redwood trees. You will want to invest in breeding stats right away if you plan on breeding this creature. It is a fantastic utility creature that brings unique abilities to your survival game. Watch your taming progress turn into a fully operational dino.

What is the Amargasaurus good for in ARK?

The Amargasaurus is a fantastic utility creature and a mid-to-late game mount, making it highly relevant for survival players. Once you successfully tame one, you gain access to several unique benefits:

  • Combat: Its most famous use is for attacking with its thermal spikes, which have an armor piercing effect, helping you quickly kill high-level threats.

  • Insulation: The large spikes on its back provide excellent natural insulation, helping you survive in extreme cold or heat on the Lost Island.

  • Resource Gathering: The Amargasaurus is useful for sap production if parked near a redwood tree.

  • Intimidation: This large sauropod has a highly aggressive temperament and a large aggro radius, making it excellent for defending your base and killing wild threats that get too close to your location. Watch as it quickly takes down predators.

Amargasaurus Combat Utility (Spike Attacks and Armor Piercing)

One of the biggest reasons to successfully tame the Amargasaurus is its unique attack method using its spikes. This creature is not just a large herbivore; it is a thermal weapon. The spikes along its back store extreme heat or cold energy.

  • When the Amargasaurus attacks, it ejects these spikes in thermal bursts.

  • The devastating fire spikes create an area of effect that can rapidly apply burning damage to enemies.

  • These powerful ranged attacks also have an armor piercing effect, meaning they ignore a percentage of the enemy's armor value.

  • The armor piercing makes the Amargasaurus excellent for dealing with high-level wild creatures and other players' armored dinosaurs.

  • You must watch the cooldown between spike volleys to time your attacks effectively during fighting.

Raising and Breeding the Amargasaurus

If you want to create an army of powerful Amargasaurus with strong breeding stats, you need to understand the basics of raising them. Breeding stats are essential for making a lineage that is better than the wild dinos you tame.

  • Mating two high-level Amargasaurus will result in a fertilized egg.

  • Incubate the egg in a temperature-controlled area until it hatches.

  • Raising the baby requires constant care, but it is worth it for the improved breeding stats.

  • Watch the baby closely and feed it regularly to ensure high taming progress and ultimate effectiveness.

  • The baby will need large amounts of materials to eat as it grows, primarily crops and berries.

Useful Console Commands

If you are playing on a server where you have admin rights or are playing a single-player game, using console commands can help you test out the Amargasaurus or manage the taming environment. You can quickly create the necessary materials or force a tame to check the creature's breeding stats.

To spawn a wild, untamed Amargasaurus for practice:

admincheat GMSummon "Amargasaurus_Character_BP_C" 150

To spawn a tamed Amargasaurus at a specific level:

admincheat SummonTamed Amargasaurus_Character_BP_C

To force tame the creature you are looking at:

admincheat Forcetame

To spawn Exceptional Kibble directly into your inventory:

admincheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalItemConsumable_Kibble_Extraordinary.PrimalItemConsumable_Kibble_Extraordinary'" 10 0 0

To spawn Fria Curry (for testing heat synchronization in cold biomes):

admincheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalItemConsumable_Soup_Fria.PrimalItemConsumable_Soup_Fria'" 10 0 0

To spawn Calien Soup (if you need to test the heat synchronization):

admincheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalItemConsumable_Soup_Calien.PrimalItemConsumable_Soup_Calien'" 10 0 0

Tip: If you only want one of the items, you can change the number 10 to 1. If you want 100, change it to 100.

These commands are very relevant for testing and will help you tame faster in a test environment.
