At least you can run from a Rex if it sees you.
Once tried to tame one for my bf while he was offline bc he wanted one. Flew with my Pterra and shot it full of 20!!!!! tranq arrows . Didn’t even flinch. I got too cocky and went too close to the edge of the cliff i was standing on. I fell off RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SPINO. it’s health was low enough that it started to run away. Without looking back, i whistled for my Pterra to follow and ran for my life. currently trying to get another one :( wish me luck!
Warning if you decide to spawn in south zone 1 on the island, spinos occasionally spawn. When I was still a newbie I went onto a nomadic journey, once I got better, I ko'd and accidentally killed the spinos.
Scream ERIIIIIC!!! They'll come running like a Rex to a diplodocus
So I was just going about my day in ark, and then I see the spino. I don’t realize how much health they had and how much damage they did.😐 I was a frikin idiot and shot it with a rifle. It was barreling twards me. If your a starter like me, DONT ALERT IT
Don't try to quick whistle while standing on them, it'll make your tames attack the spino, whoopsie!
Heres how you tame a spino:
Find a spino
Shoot it with tranquilizar darts
Once it gets knocked out you can feed it raw prime fish meat or normal fish meat:
Enjoy your spino
Guys!!!! Don’t compare the Rex and the Spino! Both are good at what they are. Spino is a glass cannon and gets a major buff in water. It has high speed, damage, range and knockback. Use this against small enemies to medium-large enemies to ultra decimate them! Even more when in water!!! It’s damage is what carries it. Rex is a tank that is used against bigger enemies. It has ultra health, high damage (but less than Spino), moderate speed, moderate range and has a ability to stun creatures and make them defecate! Use against small enemies for major advantage, as well as big enemies too! It does good at both tanking and damage, so it’s rounded up unlike the Spino. When comparing each other, none are better than the other. They are both very good at what they do!
Bruh, people just making this thing hard. The tip to tame a spinosaurus is just going for him riding a carbonemys (it will need lots of health, I think 2000 is enough) while having a crossbow or bow with tranqs. Just shoot him repeatedly as he will hit your carbonemys instead of you, and when he starts to run away, get out of the carbonemys and keep shooting and chasing him until he gets knocked. Then feed him lots of meat and use lots of narcotics (biotoxins better). Thx for reading and hope it helps ^_^
Whenever you're taking the Spino, remember to take at the very least 300 narcotics. It wakes up FAST, and whenever your taming ANY creature, surround it with wooden spike walls! Saves me countless tames from smaller pack animals. And to knock it, you simply need steep high ground and go to town with your tranqs. Happy taming!
Plssss help! I am a noob just a lil thatch hit a low lvl parasuar and a low lvl turtle.as I was on an "expedition"""" 2 steps away from my hut I heard a terrible noise...I didn't know what it was a dillo? Mabey, a raptor? Mabey a compy? Hope so. But no..I remembered the brutal beast I saw with my dodo on my first day.he was back I quickly checked the wiki for the roar and boy oh boy was I sad when I had found it was a Spinosaurus. Plus help each and every night I hear it getting closer and closer. Pls help.
Be aware of Genesis' X-Spinos, like all "X-"Dinos, having significantly increased damage resist, resulting in way more tranq darts needed than stated above. If you're going to tame an X-Spino, take at least double the amount with you!
How I got mine:
Get a pteranodon
Check for other creatures nearby
Land on a really tall, unclimbable rock
Go ham with any tranquilising weapon
Feed much narcotic
Kill stuff for meat and prime
There you go sir, 1 spino free of charge
If you try to tame a spino, get it stuck on like the surface because if you knock it out in the shallows in the river mostly megapiranas will attack you and the spino.
