Letting you know on Ark ultimate edition I tamed a lvl 20 spino with two raw prime meat. It said it would need 13, there’s nothing effecting the tame speed. Good luck taming one.
Spinosaurus

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These are hard to tame and very powerful in water and on land
How to tame beach spinos
First of all you want a minimum of 30 regular tranq darts.
I personally tamed a sarco for getting this spino.
Step one:
Get on the sarco and start shooting at the spino with the longneck.

Step 2: if it gets close go back across the river(sarco moves rapid in water)
Step 3:
Rinse and repeat.
Super easy tame picked up my lil bro with my argy and he shot spino with tranq crossbow fed it some fishys and biotoxin and boom done
They spawn in water they extremely dangerous
If you are just starting a world and you see one if these bad boys and its level 100 or less here is how. First tame up a triceratops level 60 or higher and make sure its health is in the range of 900 - 1200 then keep hitting and moving away from its front continue that and it…
If you are just starting a world and you see one if these bad boys and its level 100 or less here is how. First tame up a triceratops level 60 or higher and make sure its health is in the range of 900 - 1200 then keep hitting and moving away from its front continue that and it will run away thats how you scare/kill a spino.
Best mount for killing alpha mosa and obtaining ascendant fishing poles take three to 4 buddies on spinos and scuba tanks and goto town enjoy the fishing I have 15 ascendant poles sitting in my locker right now
Put five stone dino Gates and a large bear trap. This is optional but safer if you use it. Lure the spino in and quickly go to the back and place a final gate then just tranq it.The bear trap makes it so it won't escape while your placing the last gate
If you decide to take your spino for a swim NERVER go near a Cnidaria, no matter how high your spino is they will paralyze you and it and you will have to sit there watching it VERY slowly die.
See one of these. Run. No looking at it. No trying to kill it. running is the only option that keeps you alive
Once you find one, try leading it somewhere farther from the ocean or a large lake. It will just run once it has a high torpor (and there fast) into the ocean and if you nock it out it will drown and if you don’t it will prob get killed by Meg or something. I know from…

I used this thing to commit 5 mass swamp massacres, absolute monster, it's just too hard to find at high level
The only reason i only buff speed and stamina on evrything
Bear trap + Tranq arrows. Congratulation, you
Killed a spino
Your next door neighbor you cant get rid of but if you get too close you won't see next morning...
The Spinosaurus has a great attack reach and knock back. Keep them in front of you and your mounted Spinosaurus can take on large groups of medium to small dinos with ease.
These guys are arguably the kings of mid game progression tames because they are an all around pick with it being a t rex a baryonix and a monster of its own, they are way easier to find as well, with them spawning in most mid sized rivers and small lakes. Hope this was helpfull.
Honestly, these things seem content to attack anything and everything. I just tamed one without it landing a single hit on me, and I was standing STILL. (...on the back of my Rex so I had a height advantage to my tranq dart range. And protection just in case.) All I did was…
Honestly, these things seem content to attack anything and everything. I just tamed one without it landing a single hit on me, and I was standing STILL. (...on the back of my Rex so I had a height advantage to my tranq dart range. And protection just in case.) All I did was stand there firing my darts. She came towards me, but then got distracted to kill a Dilo. By the time she'd snaked her way round to me, she was so high on torpor that she turned and started to flee, not before I stuck a couple more in her and finished the job, though.
When you take a high level one of these and need to level it, just put it in aggresive behavior and leave it in the water, it will gain tons of levels from all the fish. This works especially on aberration with karkinos
When this dino is in low health or will get knocked out this dino will run super fast,you cant even keep up so I suggest to build a trap to tame this
