Before u go and tame one of these, you need to know how to use insulating soups to sync heat with an amargasaurus. Before I jump into this, know that this is my first ever time sending you a tip on dododex, so pls understand I am not confident at all when sending this tip to millions of ARK players that use dododex and this is one of the first steps i took when taming my amargasaurus. This tip may be trash or make no sense to you, but hey! I'm new here, you can't expect me to make the best tip on the planet. Anyways, without further ado, here's my tip, I guess.

You can sync heat with this amazing creature by using an insulating soup. The type of insulating soup you need is based on where you find the amargasaurus. If you find it in a hot biome, one of the insulating soups you will need to use is calien soup, as it gives you a +50 hyperthermic insulation and gives you a -25% water reduction on the amount of water you use up, therefore, you won't be needing to take constant trips to a water source like a lake or river and you won't need to carry as much waterskins/glass jars.

However, if you find an amargasaurus in a cold place like the north zone, you will need a different insulating soup. The other insulating soup you will need for a cold place is fria curry. It has a +50 hypothermic insulation and a -25% food consumption on the amount of food you digest, so you will not need to constantly stop for food. The effects of both soups last for 15 minutes.

The amount of soup you need depends on the type of taming food you have. If you don't have exceptional kibble or can't make it for whatever reason, it is going to take longer to tame the amargasaurus, therefore, you will need more soup. If you can make exceptional kibble and have it, then you won't need to take lots of soups, although it is a good idea to come with a few soups, just in case the ones you bought weren't enough.

Additionally, if you want to find out how long your desired number of soups is going to last you, you have to do 15 times the amount of soups you are going to bring to sync heat with the amargasaurus for long enough to successfully tame it. Let's say you are crazy about taming the amargasaurus and decide to bring 15 (calien) soups with you. If you want to find out how many hours 15 soups will last you, do 15 (time) X 15 (soups).

Ideally, you really should have both types of soups ready when exploring the ARK, just in case you accidentally bumped into an amargasaurus. Once I was exploring the north zone with my argy and saw an amargasaurus. The only problem is that I didn't have the right soup to tame it. Don't be like me.
