Amargasaurus Saddle

Riding an Amargasaurus

To ride an Amargasaurus you equip it with this Lost Island saddle, which exists in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The game's line for it: "Equip an Amargasaurus with this to ride it."

Crafting the saddle

The engram unlocks at level 55 for 18 engram points, and crafting needs level 55 too. A Smithy or a Tek Replicator can make it, and so can the Thorny Dragon Saddle, Castoroides Saddle and Argentavis Saddle. A craft takes 10 seconds, gives 40 XP and uses:

• 225 Hide
• 140 Fiber
• 30 Metal Ingot or Scrap Metal Ingot
• 6 Amargasaurus Spike

The finished saddle has an armor rating of 25 and 50 durability, weighs 20 and stacks to 1.

Two unusual traits

The ARK Wiki points out that it is the second saddle whose rider does not sit on the creature's back or neck, the Gacha Saddle being the first. It is also the second whose recipe takes a part of the very creature that wears it; the Megachelon Platform Saddle came first.

Quality saddles and loot

According to the ARK Wiki, quality versions of the saddle exist only on Lost Island and turn up most often in the Temple of the forgotten there; depending on quality, they can cost hundreds of spikes. Our records count 6 crate types that can contain it, all on Lost Island, among them the Lost Island Ruins, Lost Island Cave Red and Lost Island Yellow Bonus crates.
