After a successful mate, the Amargasaurus lays a fertilized egg. Incubation temperature must stay between 26°C and 29°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 4 hours and 59 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby Amargasaurus matures over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment, reaching adulthood in about 3 days and 20 hours at 1x maturation. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.

Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Amargasaurus gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.

Planning a mass raise? The Amargasaurus raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~556 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.

Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Amargasaurus babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Amargasaurus as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Support group.

Health-wise, the Amargasaurus sits at 1,250 base, making it a proper tank. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. With 425 base Stamina, the Amargasaurus has good endurance. A base Weight of 475 means a solid weight pool.

As a tame, the Amargasaurus is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 26°C–29°C temperature window. Killing a wild Amargasaurus yields 6 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
