Tips & Strategies

What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
The Spino, while dealing a ton of damage, can retreat if it is low on hp, and is very, very fast on land. I only know this from mobile, but it could be true for pc. This also applies for when it is high on torpor, which makes it more difficult to tame, but it is in fact doable, so long as it collapses before it lands in an aggro area/ body of water.
For mobile players, here’s what you gotta do.
A spino requires a bunch of narcotics while it’s knocked out, not to mention the amount of trank arrows you’re gonna need. So get to grinding some narcotics and tranks on your herb mount.
Next we have to think about food, I think cooked meat will be enough for your hunger, but for the spino, they prefer argy kibble (cooking pot: one water skin,mejoberries,fiber,citronal, prime meat jerky,argy egg). A level 280 spino took me 3 kibble to tame, despite Dodo dex telling me I needed 4. The easiest way to get kibble is to just get a cooking bench from the amber store. But if you don’t have amber, or you’re in early game and can’t get argy eggs, prime meat will work alright.
For the knocking out you will require a trap, even if you aren’t in early game, the spino starts running when it’s on low health/torpor running. And most of the times you won’t be able to catch up.4 Stone gateways placed like this

__. Should do the trick(might not be visible). Just make it so that one of the gates isn’t placed yet since the spino will actually need to walk INTO the trap first.
If you’re on single player just save it manually before attempting this since it might not work the first time.
If you’re on multiplayer, just set up a bunch of sleeping bags(or a bed) where your area is.
Get the spinos attention and start RUNNING this thing is super fast and unless your trap is really near or you have a flying mount, there is no way you’re outrunning it. Once it’s in the trap, make sure it agros on to it, you’ll know it does this when it turns its head to look at the trap and starts trying to hit it, quickly go behind it and place the gateway quickly.
Now for the knocking out part, crossbows and long necks work best but if you don’t have any of those you can use a bow, just make sure to have the materials to repair it.
Once it’s knocked out make sure you have all those narcotics you grinded for, because at the rate this think needs narcotics, it might as well be on the taming chart for #1 favorite food.
After that just wait a bit and BOOM, you have a new tame!
With its buff in water, agility, strength, if you see one, even if it’s a low rank, run…..
Guys I dont know how to tame it I kinda new

I was starve feeding this thing till a darn theri aggravated at me but killed my sleeping spino instead ;[[[ what have we learned today? NEVER EVER try to tame something even remotely close to a theri, they will ruin your day ;[
u want to tame this beast uhh i suggest find some rocks that cannot reach you or maybe a high terrain shot tranq on its head if it runs away just goodluck because they are fast as hell so better be good shooting tranq arrows in long distance i tame it using kibble and prime meat u can use soothing balm if necessary
just tin
These guys are rlly hard to KO without a trap because they LIGIT will not stay on a single target. If they see something that they will Argo on they will turn around no questions asked, which is kinda rlly annoying when you’re tryna knock ‘em out.
They'd say a rex is better until getting bitten on the back of it's leg and it takes an hour to turn and fight back, a spino stands up, turns on the spot, slaps the unlucky thing into the next life, they're also extremely fast and agile, I prefer them over the rex any day of the week
I recommend using A long neck rifle to knock out these things. One bad thing about Spinos is they near fish💀 bro, these things are in love with fish,it is annoying that they always hunt them which makes it hard to tame. but all you really have to do is make a trap.or find high ground(that is high enough that the Spinosaurus can’t reach)or get A very fast mount that you can use weapons on and shoot the it down and put your food of Choice in it’s inventory. keep it asleep and boom there’s your spino
They spawn in water when all the fish in the area have been killed
Beat place to tame him is close to the island with Red obelix. U just have to have these 4 things
1.crossbow/bow and 30-40 tranq Arrowa
2flying mount best will be pterodon with 60-80 raw jest or 30-40 prime meat and arraund 30 narcotics
3 good aim
4hope
Tutorial how to tame a low level spino:
1) find low lvl spino
2) Shoot it with tranq arrows
3) Now it starts running
4) Give up because it's hella faster than sonic the hedgehog
I think I hit it like 9 times with tranq arrows with crossboww it's level 8 so ye I have a strong a$$ tame
Spinos are a great tame but in the wild they are very dangerous. If u hit them they go crazy and attack u and everything else and they are very fast and deal lots of damage
Got my first spino pretty easy with my heart pounding after witnessing the havoc it can wreck..I laid a couple of large bear traps and lured it into them the shot it with tranq darts...and fed it with narcotics and fish meat..I am currently terrorizing my area with the spino and two baryonyx
Be careful this things torpor burns like tissue paper
They are too much easy to tame I already tame it on lvl 27
1.use tranq arrow, and need of crossbow, you need only 20-40 tranq arrow
2. Find it, they are mostly along the river
3. Unconscious it, then use soothing balm and narcotics,biotoxin to handle it's torpor
4. Feed him raw prime meat or kibble to tame faster
5. Then name it.
I would say the easiest way to tame them is just put prime meat in the inventory and narcotics and force feed them narcotics so they stay asleep sincerely,

This is especially for new players. They will seem pretty quiet if they are far from the water, but if you see one next to or in the water, don’t try to pet it. They are VERY fast, especially in the water and they do A LOT of damages. I mean if you want you can try but then I hope you had a good life. If one is curious and come visit your base, if it is protected with even wooden spikes, it should be not a real problem ( except if you’re unlucky and it’s a high level one ). But don’t let your tames aggro it bcs they will probably die ( especially new player tames, who has low or mid health ). I mean everything under 400hp will probably die. Above 400hp it is pretty safe but yeah, don’t play with fire. If your base is not protected, well then you’re coocked and it’s time to build a new protected base.
