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

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

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.

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…

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.

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

Wild dinos ignore you while you are on it unless you attack them except if the dino is an allo, spino, rex, alpha rex, yuty, carcharo, giga, rhynio, or insect buffed megatherium which will attack on sight.

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.

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.

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

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

One thing a lot of people don’t talk about is that when riding this guy small predators will ignore you mostly

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*
