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

before you think about taming these things recommended Using a trap because some people really think a 10 pillar tall thing not its not a good idea since the spino will run away. after you almost have it. and this thing is wayy faster than you think so either use a Trap or if your on gen2 don’t use a trap since you Can LITERALLY Fly and TRANQ it

If you receive a spino saddle blueprint from a drop while your lower than level 71, craft it as soon as possible, regardless of the grade of the saddle. You won't regret it.

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

It’s usually having fun in the river, just don’t become it’s fun.

This Dino is op it is faster than allos not in water and in water its rivals gallimimus speed. It has better dps than a Rex. It can swim very fast making it a good travel Dino. And it has great stamina unlike other large creatures. It’s only downside is it’s not as tanky as other large creatures like Rex,bronto,titanasour etc. also it’s saddle is cheap and they are relatively common spawning on the island. The only problem I have is I find it very hard to find a good level. Over all this is one of the best Dinos in the game. To tame this you will have to make a trap or it will run away and you won’t be able to catch it. And if you are a low level do not try to fight it. To kill it I always tried to get it to hit a bronto so the bronto can kill it. I hope this helps.

Here is how to tame a spino!

Material:

Trap 1

9 stone foundations

36 stone doorframes

9 wooden ramps

Trap 2:

6 Dino doorframes and 1-2 large bear traps.

Use Dododex to find out how many tranq dart/arrows and bring 50 to 100 more.

Cryo a good herbivore/prepare TONS of narc berries because they wake up insanely fast

Steps:

1.Have a flyer that can actually carry the trap if u use the first.

2.Find a high lv spino

3.lead it into the trap and if it’s trap 2 quickly put the 1 gate left similar to Rex trap.

4.Shoot a bunch of tranq into its face/body

5.Put food that’s at least better than prime. I suggest prime fish or kibble

6. Starve your tame and use the bed trick and shove down hundreds of narcoberries if needed

7. Boom you have a amphibious carnivore!

Advantages over Rex(which you do know how to tame I suppose)

Faster, and stam lasts longer

Has a hydrophilic buff that increases speed stam and dmg

Has way better DPS than Rex

Has incredible knock back that kills Rexes and alpha raptor carnos.

Harvests loads of fish and bio toxin

Hope you enjoy your giant carnivore with a cool look!

I love spinous soooo much they are my favourite dinosaur in ark I recommend getting high up and shooting it with a long neck rifle and trank darts

The Rex of aberration immune to radiation and stronger then people think!

Spino trap I made was 4 behemoth 1 door for behemoth 1 regular big door way in tye ground of the behemoth door way and place trap behind big door way (large trap) lead Spino in and close door and there you go you got your self a spino

Warning if you decide to spawn in south zone 1 on the island, spinos occasionally spawn. When I was still a newbie I went onto a nomadic journey, once I got better, I ko'd and accidentally killed the spinos.

They love fish meat than meat so feed it with fish meat or prime fish meat

Just tamed my first spino and killed four therizinosaurus, and three alpha raptors pretty easily, so this thing is tough

The dossier says it’s only territorial, but it is very VERY aggressive if you get too close. Once that thing goes into bipedal mode… goodnight. Either have a very powerful tame, or pray that another creature will distract it.

Spinos are good swimmers I took mine to get bio toxin from jellyfish

Warning: these things are super slick and slippery! They will manage to avoid your trap many times!

This is for all those who think Spinos can breathe underwater. They cannot, you should be aware of it knocking out in water.

Spinos’ tame with fish meat faster than normal prime meat should’ve used prime fish

I tamed 6 spino in one day. u just need 150 tranq arrows and a high ground or something to hinder them from getting close to you like dino doors. Spino fan. *Like a mafia when you have 6 spino following ya*

Bane of early game, Carry of late game. If you dont have the means to tame a giga yet, you should go for a spino over a rex.
