Eat Calien Soup or Fria Curry before you go near an Amargasaurus. Without that buff it treats you as an enemy; with it you can walk up. Put Exceptional Kibble or crops in your last slot and feed it once to start, then hunt alongside it: damage you and your creatures deal to its prey is what becomes progress. Do not hit it yourself, keep its health up, and stay close or it loses interest.
Deal 198,750 damage to its prey, feeding it 16 times along the way.

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.
