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
Dont do what I did, ALWAYS BRING A LOTTA NARCOTICS. I was taming one and only had like 13 narcotics. To make a long story short, I woke up and I had to fly away on mt pteradon. Up if this helped
Why is everyone saying Spinos suck. If people don’t stop saying spinos suck I’m telling all of the spinos.🥺😱
Trap the spino by making cage i don't know how to build it but see on youtube he it in the cage and then sleep and then tranq it it's food level will be 0
Another good way to tame a spino is to bring a lot narcotics, 20 exceptional kibble (To tame more if needed), and a flying tame that you can shoot off of(I use wyvs), I'm not sure how many tranq darts but bring 100 to 200, from there on you will be ready, I hope it works for you!
I was low level when I got mine (On single player too) it was always around the river I used for water and kept breaking my pipes. So I looked at a few guides and found an easy way to capture it. Just build a 3 x 3 of stone and build 3 stone door frames up on each side. On another build ramps going up to the top. Get the attention of the spino with your weapon (a bow will do) and run up the ramps, it might take a few tries but if it follows you slip through the door frame and it won’t be able to escape, then just knock it out with tranq arrows or darts. Hope this helps. Good Luck :)
If you hear your mobile ring and you misplaced it.. run like hell because a spino is staring down at you.. right now..
BRING A LOAD OF NARCOTICS. I cannot stress this enough. Their torpor drain rate is high and will go down very fast. I tamed a level ten and he took 150+ narcotics honestly you can't bring enough narcotics. Take as many narcotics as possible. Bring bio toxin only if you have access to it. Narcotics work great though!
Compared to taming a rex, this thing is actually harder to tame unless this thing spawns in the middle of two cliffs so it’ll have nowhere to run. I once tamed a rex with only a bow and a few tranq arrows on easy mode, obviously, but I can actually kill rexes up to lvl 100+ when on lvl 30+ yourself, on mobile that is. This thing runs when it has high torpor or near death, and it runs FAST. So unless you’re a WWII veteran sniper and can track this bad boy’s movement up to an island away, you’d have to lure it in the middle of two cliffs. Griffins are also good to help you tame this guy, but they’re a pain in the arse to tame on mobile... Use bio toxin to keep down, or a ton of narcoberries. Best method is starve taming. Clear out the area of every single aggressive thing though, and remember this guy has an oxygen stat, so it’ll drown if you knock it out in waters deep enough to make it swim (shallow waters where it can stand doesn’t make it drown, same thing goes for everything that you have to tame thru knock out method). Use ascendant bows or ascendant crossbows to knock out, or a tranq dart which is more efficient. Bring 10x more the amount of narcotics, if that’s what you use, better use bio toxin to keep this down. Around two or three stacks of bio toxin should be enough for levels 100+ of a spino.
