How do I kill a spinosaurus? spinosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
If you want to tame a spino here are the steps I took to taming it
1Find it's territory:spino's have a territory to themselves this can help you observe it from a distance
2Get on a cliff or high place the spino can't reach you and shoot it(carry ALOT of tranqs if your gonna try tame this)
3They are extremely fast so when they start running you might wanna try snipping it from a distance as closing the distance will be extremely difficult
4Make sure you have enough narcotics and meat to tame it
Bonus tip:if you want you can use narcotic tripwire traps or dinosaurs like pachy or basilisk to speed up knocking it out
The most terrifying thing. Especially when you’re low level.
If you see one run away from the water and it will agro something else but they actually get distracted easily so even just putting something in between you and it will stop it from attacking you they always attack the closest thing to them because they prefer defending their territory rather than hunting food
When there's a spino right outside your wooden base and you accidentally open a window.
Spinos love to stay close to their water source, so if you encounter one in the wild, run as far away from the water as possible. It will turn around and forget about you.

The true meaning of multi-tasking is when u escape one of these while unloading a dishwasher
Literally the NIGHTMARE FUEL. This dude is literally phycotic, bro is in a hurry for a carnage
Their coloration tends to resemble where they spawn, for example if it spawns in the river outside the snow zone it’s gonna be white, if it spawns in the redwoods it’s gonna be red, if it spawns in a rocky area it’s gonna be grey, if it spawns near a beach it’s gonna be orange or yellow, etc, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for a specific colour… this can also make them hard to spot from a distance if you’re not specifically looking for them though the sail can sometimes give them away as it doesn’t always follow this rule
I could’ve sworn these things dropped their sail as a trophy yet Dododex claims they don’t they also don’t on mobile but I used to play on Xbox I still do but not very often. Am I just crazy or did they really drop their sail
They good at taking out alpha dinos. They kill alpha dinos near Rivers or beaches faster.
Ok so I met a level 108 spino should I tame it?
They best way to find spinos is by any river. Also there very large, colorful, and have giant spines (duhhh) they spawn at any river.
So I was just usually going to get some iron to repair my stuff at a near mountain, and as I accidentally fell/slid down the mountain, near a SWAMP, I saw 2 of these things just mass murdering, I saw them 1 hit a Therizino which, this was at a point where I was only level 34 and I thought that, that, was the power of a god, so I just hid behind a rock as they were passing by waiting to run, after they stopped looking, and look, if your tryna outrun these things, you gotta know, THEY WILL CATCH UP, they are the Godspeed of ark, (at least that’s what I thought at that level) oh yeah, and if you see these things, unless you have a flying creature right next to you with a saddle, Run, or hide
I had tame a spino level 15 but I am just level 27🗿
How!!?
At zone 2 of south region
And going up the river...
Please please don't close to him
If you want try my experience 👇
I'm going up cliff and he can't climbe up that
Just 15_20 tranq arrows with crossbow
And please make sure you have enough toxin or narcotics
Sorry for my bad English:)
Make this up¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If mistaken as a rock, look closer and you’ll see their seriously oversized spines.
It is bigger than a giga irl so why not the game and the megalodon was far larger than the gigantic theropod dinosaurs such as spinosaurus
Favourite dinosaur by far. Could NEVER bring my self to shoot one, but then I did, wile defending base.
Love spinos. Such colourful sails! Dark and eerie is a good combination, or red+speed.
Salute to all the fallen spinos. May you forever roar on.

Go to a rock where the spino can't reach it. thats all
To all the people who are like “there is a spino how do I deal with it”
Well I have had first hand experience fighting these as a low level. So really you have a few options. You can
A: try to kill it with ranged weapons
B: try to kill it with wild herbivores
C: use your tames to try to kill it
And
D: run
For A
You will want a decent crossbow and 10-20 arrows for a level 1-10. Then get high ground to shoot at it. Spinos have low health off they are low level. But it will try to run
For B
Try finding high level or very strong herbivores
Hit it with a bow and get it to chase you. Then run past a herbivore that’s good for a fight with it and maybe try to help it with a bow
For C
You will need a strong tames and basically you want the spino out of water and you fight it with your tames. Whistle target and send them to fight. Make sure to back them up so use a ranged weapon
And finally for D
D is actually really complex and risky. You need to get all your stuff and put it in your tames and run away from the spino. Now you should scout where your gonna go first and make sure there’s a way to get around all the threats.
