What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you are looking for a spino go look around the river(s) near the green platform
Don’t go for water when it chases you, I learned that the hard way. ._.
I got two Spinos and that too at level 28. You just have to find a space between two rocks where you can easily pass but Spinos could
It's harder than it sounds but it works for me.
Um so the 5 people that upped the one about lvl 2 male spino,
I managed to tame him!KO in water, he didn’t drown, 71% taming each fish, it was worth it! Now I have my 3rd best carnivore! Very happy, I was TERRIFIED! :) go check me out on YT

:D pls sub, it would mean a lot!
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!
Just use a tapajara to cling to the surface of a cliff, and shot the spine at the bottom. Super easy and does not require a trap. Tamed a level 140 this way.
Build yourself a taming pin, 5×5 floor, either use stone dino gate or wooden ramps for entry and use stone door frame or pillar built 3-4x tall, to ensure you don't get attack. Meanwhile taming it with a bow/cross with tranq arrow use their preferred taming food and always have Narcs to feed it.
According to me, spino is better than rex, I am saying this because it is a beast in underwater and it is also a beast on land.
Do not tame a Spino. Tame two and breed them. Tamed spinos are good. Imprinted spinos have zero chill. Hands down my favorite mount on land. Crazy fast (can out run gigas) do great damage, especially with the hydrated buff and they're super stamina efficient. The Rex can be a bit more tanky, but tank doesn't matter when you're slapping down Rexes like they're dilos.
Do not think you have any chance against it with a few simple tames and a sword as I used my two brontosaurus’s(Barry and Garry) and Barry had to watch Garry die in front of him. Barry then got murdered by a few allosaurus’s and so did I but the spoon did the most damage. One up is one RIP for Barry and Garry
Go on a cliff have a simple rifle at hand shoot it with tranqs and have a fly boy so you can go down I used 15 prime meat I play Xbox so yeah great experience.
Genesis X-Spinos are worth the tame. They are like Bog Rexes that can swim. If you try to tame it, be careful to build a trap higher than normal Dino gates made of stone with a ramp on one side. This Dino needs Behemoth gates to fit through them, so anything smaller than that, but a bit larger than a Dino gate will do. Had one get stuck in my standard Dino gate trap, but it jumped out once it’s torpor got high and it found an area of gate that wasn’t perfectly level with the others and jumped right over and ran off. Taming with standard gates is possible, only if they are perfectly level with each other. Having a trap made of stone fence supports and door frames stacked super high will make escape impossible. Pillars work too, but make sure it can’t slip through them.
I tamed a Lv 80 spino with raw prime meat
I used 200+ narcotics and 40+ bio toxin

Here’s a tip if you encounter a spino near your base of you have big rocks in between you and the spino you can actually partially trap it and shoot it down as spinos can’t climb big mountains nor get through big rocks (few)
I just tamed it by going on a high cliff with my pteranadon then shooting it with my crossbow, then doing the usual meat and narcotics. However it was killed shortly after by a bronto. R.I.P Haddasah.
If you have a direbear with good health you can tank the hits while you shoot from its back and catch it when it runs away.
