What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These are stronger than the rex, and tame one of these beasts instead of some old rex. 1. they get an underwater buff when up to mid body in the water and farther. 2. on two legs their attacks are faster and stronger then a rexes but they walk slower,and on four legs they are faster, but not as strong. If a tamed one is following you, they will do this automatically, when riding you must do it on your own. 3. They're easier to tame then a rex! So if you're debating on taming one of these bad boys, or the infamous rex, choose this dude. These beasts need more recongition.
If you are having a hard time finding spino's in their respective spawn zones (especially Ragnarok), kill all the fish in that area. They share the same spawn capacity and can be out spawned by coles!
“South Zone 1 is the safest area!”
The humble Spinosaurus:
Spinos are really, REALLY, good. First, these things can switch between standing on 2 legs(allowing them to turn on the spot, and deal more damage, but be slower, even outdamaging a rex on 2 legs) and 4 legged mode(where they will do leas damage, but be way faster, and have a huge turning radios) you cannot use the 2 legged mode underwater, only on land, underwater u can only be with 4 legged mode. If a spino enteres water(a river, lake, inside an ocean, and so on) it will get a damage buff, health regen buff, and speed buf, making it a lot stronger. The buff is permanent as long as u at least touch the water, and lasts 30 seconds outside of it. The spino is very good at traveling, as most aggresive dinos(raptors, carnos, and so on) will become neutral towards you. The spino also has great speed on all 4, is quite slow on 2 legs, and is even faster with the water buff. It is also extremely powerful.mode. It also attacks faster than a rex. The spino also harvests a ton of meat and hide.
If you hear your mobile ring and you misplaced it.. run like hell because a spino is staring down at you.. right now..
A good way to get it unconscious without a flying dinosaur is by making 10 stone pillars, 10 wooden ladders then climbing up the pillars and shoot it with tranq darts or arrows, it can't break stone fast so ur safe. Pls don't use less than 10 pillars, I tried and I got pushed of the pillar and just died:( Sorry for my bad English. Hope this helped
Why tame either a Rex or Spino… when you can take both? 😏
Want to tame a super dimetrodon? Read on! Before we get to it, you're gonna want to prepare these things:
DIFFICULTY:
5/ 10: Intermediate
WHAT YOU WILL WANT:
-Taming weapon and ammo (Bow (Tranq arrows), Crossbow (Tranq arrows), Longneck rifle (Tranq/ Shocking tranq darts)
-Taming food (Meat (I prefer raw over fish) / Mutton, Kibble)
-Biotoxin/ Narcotics
Now that you have what you need, let's get taming!
For this dino, there are 2 methods (Honest). Here they are:
METHOD 1: The Trap
The usual. 2x2 stone trap (4 stone floors, 16 stone walls and 4-6 ramps), cost efficient and simple. Lead the spino into the trap and tranq it down. When taming, make sure to watch its torpor as it drains quite fast!
METHOD 2: Trapless
Very easy to perform. Find a spino and tranq it down, and chase it when it runs (Do note the spino is EXTREMELY fast). Also clear the area of nasties (I lost my spino to a Therizino), they like to aggro on everything. Now repeat the taming process and welcome your new spino to your family!
Now, onto the features of the Spino:
UTILITIES:
Spinos are glass cannons, typically having lesser health but more damage than a Rex. They have 2 stances -- The 4-legged and 2-legged stances. The 4-legged stance has a high attack rate but lesser damage, and vice versa for the 2-legged stance. They also have a Hydrophobic Boost, which boosts their stats when they enter a body of water. This increases their movement speed, damage and damage resistance.
That's pretty much it for the Spino! Thanks for your time and check out my other tips!

They said the beaches were safe. The things I’ve seen on beaches would scare many men
at 40 damage a hit every 0.46 seconds, even they're lowest is 11 more DPS than the rex's 74.5 dps, and the highest at 108 dps, dps demons, approximately 38 mph in quadrupedal mode and faster than a megalodon in the water, forget tankiness, they blitz the dragon before they have to deal with it's 20% total-health fire breath with casualties (with enough melee damage and the courage buff), they get the hydration buff from the smallest puddles of the broodmother cave or the river in the megapithecus fight, even if they're in quadrupedal mode they deal more damage than the rex, 396,000 health vs a collective army of 25,000+ dps (if you spread them out before the swarm), 648,000 health vs 25,000+ dps, 864,000 vs 25,000+ dps. maybe I'm living under a rock because I see way higher damage in videos and way higher potential than just 500% melee damage.
Ok this beauty is literally one of the best tames in the game. I tamed one in EARLY game (like literally level 10) and holy cow it's amazing. Way easier to tame than a Rex, has two attacks, is crazy fast when walking on water, has decent weight, and if you can get a pack of these nothing can touch you. I have like at least 10-15 and it's so awesome
Their babies are insanely strong. I breeded my lv 40 and the baby was even stronger then both of them combined! I definitely recommend breeding these guys. Also. Now I can take on that stupid alpha Rex. Don’t worry. I fully imprinted this little guy just like all my other ones. Every one ☝️ is one strength for my baby spino
I just knocked out a 140 spino
It's terrifying
TLC patch coming in March 2018 to add the ability to swap between 2 legged mode (faster attacks and ability to attack with claws) and 4 legged mode (Faster movement), as well as increased turning radius, movement speed, damage, and health regen while in water and for a short time after leaving it.
Once I was just chillin at my base with my 4 trikes, 2 raptors and 1 bronto them this spino walks up to my base wrecks my house and kills my tames I barely get away on my raptor. THIS BEAST PLAYED VOLLEYBALL WITH MY BRONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tamed one now I have a big base lots of tames and my spino is the same one that ruined my base all that time ago. (Ironic right?)
They can’t destroy stone structures, but they can hit you from the other side. Up so noobs can see
You want to tame a fish eating machine?Well who am I kidding you probably are!
First,we need to know what we're dealing with here.
This is a super predator that eats fish.It gets a health regen,speed and damage buff when it reaches the water mid way through the body.
Here's what you need to bring:
To Knock it out
A crossbow/longneck rifle (tranqs)
To tame it
To tame this bad boy you're gonna need fish meat because it semi-aquatic.Use prime fish meat over normal fish meat because y'k it's prime(you can get it from megs or using a sickle to harvest it from normal fishys)
To keep it asleep
Bio toxin/Nacrotics or Nacroberries for a low level
To trap it
You can use the 4 dino gates and bear traps method
Or the 16 ramps,16 floors and 40 door ways to trap it
But I'll use the 4 dino gates since it's easier
Now onto taming
To tame this beast you have to be brave and maybe have a tame to sacrifice (rip big bird)
Locate your desired spino usually they spawn near swamps,south zones,beaches(I only know the Island spawns)
They also share spawns with fishes so kill all the fish in the area and go out of render there might be 1-2 spinos
Build your trap and shoot the spino to agro it.You should now have it trapped now shoot it till it falls asleep.Put the fish meat in and it should be taming.It's torpor drains 1/3 of the giga so be sure to check on it and feed it narcotics to keep it asleep!
Now it should be yours.You can name it whatever you want!
