Amargasaurus

Overview

The Amargasaurus is a large herbivorous support dinosaur. It features a special passive taming method that requires temperature synchronization and cooperative hunting. Once tamed, it excels at gathering a wide variety of plant-based resources and wood. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment across the map.

This dino is primarily used for efficient resource collection in the field, especially in environments where temperature management is critical.

More about taming the Amargasaurus

Amargasaurus's combat-based taming progress pauses while it is waiting to be fed.

Taming an Amargasaurus uses a special passive method. You must consume Calien Soup in hot biomes or Fria Curry in cold biomes to sync your temperature, then approach and interact with the creature. Begin hunting nearby creatures together with the Amargasaurus to fill its taming bar. Keep its health above 85% or the tame will fail. Use the Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap to immobilize it before starting. About 12 minutes are needed for taming. Use the calculator below for your settings.

About gathering

While ridden, the Amargasaurus gathers efficiently using multiple attacks. The Tail Swing, Neck Swing, Bite, and Foot Stomp all harvest Berries, Seeds, Mushrooms, Rare Flowers, Rare Mushrooms, Stimberries, Wood, Cactus Sap, and Fiber. Each of these resources is gathered at a 10× multiplier, with Cactus Sap and Fiber at 8×. This makes it one of the most versatile plant gatherers available.

Tips

The Tail Swing gathers Wood, Berries, and Seeds at a 10× multiplier. Use the Neck Swing for the same high-yield harvest across large clusters of plants. It takes +200% damage from spike walls, so avoid placing it near defensive spikes. Keep its health above 85% during taming or the process fails. It can be carried by Quetzal to preserve its weight reduction while flying. The Foot Stomp attack hits close-range plant nodes with the same 10× efficiency.

This page details the Amargasaurus's stats, taming process, breeding conditions, harvest capabilities, and combat data. For further planning, refer to the taming calculator, breeding calculator, and spawn map tools located on this page.
