Undoubtedly one of the most useful Dinos in Ark. Level these up, breed them, and you're unstoppable. I would choose them over Rex any day. I have about fifty (not too many at all) and I can recommend the best way I have found to tame them:

First, locate them. They spawn on beaches sometimes but I recommend going deeper into freshwater waterways. Swamps are best.

Next, equip yourself with a bow and tranq arrows. I recommend being on a flying mount. That’s the safest and most effective way to knock the spino out. Argys are best because they’re fast and can maneuver quite well in the sky. Bring at least 50 tranqs just to be safe. Clear out the area around the spino before tranquillizing so nothing tries to kill him while he’s asleep.

Divebomb the spino with tranqs a few times, and, once he’s out, feed him raw prime fish meat, which is quite easy to find, or exceptional kibble. You only need to tame two, and I recommend, if you want more, (which you probably will) just breed them.

If you’re wondering if this fun little escapade is worth it, it most certainly is! Spinos are incredibly useful harvesting and combat mounts that are exceptional in both water and on land. Best of luck with taming!

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!

PREVIOUS TIP: How to tame a Baryonyx

-Your average ARK Mobile player ;)

Most of the time I find 1 in the south in each bay. Sometimes they do that because theirs less fish in the bay. It happened when I started the game, sooo maybe find them their, but if there's remaining only a bit of fish then kill em, and dont throw away the raw fish meat it will be used when you manage to knockout a spino, and use 70-100 or more bio toxin! You'll get them in jellyfish!

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

Hey, ok so the center, coordinates 08.1 / 63.4 spinos will spawn there, if is not high enough just kill it, leave the area and come back after 3 mins. Normally works, I found a 150 and I'm taming it rn
