Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a spinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a spinosaurus.
I am a noob just started the game a week ago, I was super into spino. As one killed me the first day. I am level 27 and tamed one, can't ride it but still looks so cool.
This is how , first you need butt load of stones, wood and thatch. Like 2700 stone, 1600 wood, 1000 thatch. I made 9 stone foundations in 3×3, then put door frames around it and make it 3 door frames high so it can't climb it , put stone stare case from the side spino is closest to, put pillars under it to support. You are 1/4 way there. Get Tranq arrows( depending upon level of dino)and a crossbow. I shot it once and it caught and killed me, i got back and he was still there so i did it all again and got him in , tranq him till he feel asleep, used fish meat and bio toxin and there you go now you have a spino , go wild
Show this post some love🙃
THANK YOU ALL FIR CONVINCING ME TO TAME A SPINO!!!! At this time over 125 people are supporting me to tame a spino! And I DID!!!!!!! His name is Hemlock (after the water hemlock poison plant 🌿) as soon as I tamed him we had to head into dangerous territory to get back to my base. He protected me and my raptor Delta (who I tamed with him) from a therizosaur and a gang (like 7) of dilos! He was on low health too! I will protect him forever! Thank you all so much for your love and support! I wrote a story about him and if u want to read it it’s in the story section titled “Hemlock” 😁
[I play on mobile] If you want to trap one, I made a little tutorial you don't have to watch on YouTube or something! (Based off my tragic mistakes)
Make two stone dinosaur gate frames parallel to each other, then add two others creating a V shape at one open end, leaving a space far behind the V shape for the spino to enter

(Should look kinda like this, a smiley face)
Then, you can lure the spino in, bravely run behind the spino hoping it spares you, and finish the trap by adding another gateway to where the spino entered, aka give the smiley face a unibrow

I tamed it by bringing the spino next to a cliff bottom , and I recommend the tapejara because it lands on walls and I used a crossbow with some tranqs and when he tried to escape I over shot it and leaded into a hole and then again tranqed it and got it done lol,and it prefers prime fish meet.USE 15x smoothing balm costs 45 amber
Perfect temp for incubation is 31.0
If you wanna knock out a spin-off don’t use bolas. I found out the hard way.😂
Don’t be afraid I was paranoid of them but my tame took 30 minutes and was super easy and he was worth it he was Lel 1 but that’s how I operate
Multiplayer tip, this works well! How tame a low level, easy as taming a dodo almost.
Step 1: Have a pteranodon with good stamina.
Step 2: Scout the area for a spino (any level).
Step 3: Carry your tribe-mate to spino (keep your distance in the air)
Step 4: Have your friend tranq it.
Step 5: Use soothing balm/starve tame.
Easy tame, somehow.
stand on a high cliff and shoot it or keep shootong it and running away on a raptor until it's knocked out. it gets distracted very easly by fish, sharks and manta's (even while chasing you) so you may want to shoot it while it's distracted.
SPINOS HAVE O2 STAT!!
Dropped a lvl 100 on shore and he ran towards the water and passed out there
I thought they can breath under water but she drowned on me.
DOMT KNOCK THEM OUT IN WATER THEY ARE NOT LIKE BARYONYX
These thing are stronger then a red and a Lot of the time more common than a Rex. It also gets a water buff. 1 👆 = one prayer to my passive spino’s death to a megalodon.
To the person who said: “they are easier to tame then a Rex!!!!!111!!”
They are not easier to tame then a Rex your out of your freaking mind
To knock out ma boe if it is at least 25 level you can traq it easily with a crossbow. Please up this!
I knocked out one on mobile, rubbed some soothing balm on it, left to get prime meat and it was killed by a meganuera.
If you want to tame one you have found the right guy so here is how do it get on a cliff because these things are massive so no rock shall do then shoot it with normal arrows then when he starts running start loading tranqs on him till he’s knocked out tranq arrows will do because they have quite low torpor then feed him fish/prime fish meat you will need a few not too many narcotics/ bio toxins then you got your self a spino. like if this helped
You see spinos are great to kill bosses even without it's buff but a rex need a yutyranus while a spin doesnt bec even if it doesnt have a buff it still stronger than a rex plus I had fought a level 100 alpha rex with a level 75 spino and still win and had about 1k health left!
squid killer. need black pearls? we kibbled two 135s and killed a 85 squid that night. 35 pearls per kills. necessary tame!!!
There is a lvl 18 spino near my base. Up to tame, down to kill it.
I have two ways you can use to tame tame this. One for lower levels and one for higher levels.
First what you need (based of my experience)
About 30 tranq darts (you might need more or lees depending on wich method you use (etc))
About 30 narotics
A lot of fish meat (or prime fish meat) (or kibble)
And some bio toxin
1st : the easy way. This way dosen’t require dying all the time but you can only do it if you have large bear traps. What you do is you put the bear traps a bit away for each other in a line and run up to it and then to the traps. Then shoot it with tranq darts. If you don’t knock it out let it chase you to the next bear trap and tranq it again. It took me about 30 tranq darts (I missed some). Then feed it prime fish meat (or normal but normal takes longer) or you can do it the 2nd way
2nd way; This is for lower levels who have a bow and tranq arrows but not a bear trap. What you do is :
.shoot from distance with tranq arrows and run and shoot. If you die go back and continue shooting and running. When you knock it out put fish meat in it’s inventory (might take a while) and don’t forget the narotics!.
Tip:
I recommend you use bio toxin.
