People say ‘build stone pillars’ but all you have to do is get up high. Now take a rifle, use drank darts (I had 24 and maybe more, but I had some leftover and some shots I missed). Also, if you are on a hill shooting the spino, make sure it can’t climb it. Start shooting, and once successfully knocked out, feed it. Raw fish meat, prime fish meat, and I believe even raw meat, and raw prime meat work (I used fish meat, so I can’t be sure about the raw meat). I used bio toxin, with does +80 torpidity, while a normal narcotic does +40. It says the bio toxin does 30 damage, but it actually doesn’t do any (I believe it only hurts humans). Once you tame the spino, I must warn you, once you are able to ride it (after crafting the saddle on a smithy), if you run over small creatures you kill them. But other than that, they are a amazing, strong, swift creature. And I really suggest taming, I was scared the first time I tried, but you’ll feel the sweet triumph after a while. Hope you tame a spino! Up for noobs to see! Have a nice day!

Tame 2 high lvl ones and breed them to create a monster with mutations,my spino is lvl 215 and it kills alpha raptors and carnos in secs and alpha rex in mins and i filled it some points in oxygen if killed 2 alpha megs and a alpha Mosa without taking DMG (don't try tuso u will be traumatized for life time)

DO NOT ENTER UNDERWATER CAVES ON YOUR BELOVED SPINO, YOU WILL GET FLUNG INTO THE ABYSS. Also, make sure that if you’re doing underwater exploration on one to always have them on follow, if you don’t, they’ll fly up to the surface of the water and you’ll drown deep in the depths of god knows where, also probably keep them on passive for this reason so they don’t start attacking something while you drown like “GET BACK HERE!!!”

Bring this to swamps, not only they have high torpidity incase of titanoboa but they get waterbuff so u can cross safely and if you don’t have a mount you can hide underneath it’s belly whenever it says you have entered a danger zone and not feeling like getting bitten by a krapro, press up if this was helpful :)

It was kind of ez for me to tame(I tamed this on aberration whilst riding ravager btw) first I went up onto a rock where the Spino cannot hit me then I shot it with traqs till it was knocked out,CARRY NARCOTICS OR BIO TOXIN!THEIR TORPOR RUNS OUT FAST! I tamed one by starving it and feeding prime it went up by around 80 smth percent then it was tamed!

Hope this was helpful!!

[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

V

(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

V

Faster than a Rex, semi-aquatic, and they still do decent damage along with having the hydration buff. Great PvE travel mount (I've only ever played singleplayer). Basic square stone gateway trap, you might wanna bring 100-200 tranq arrows to be safe. Recommend to try at least once.
