If you are having a hard time finding spino's in their respective spawn zones (especially Ragnarok), kill all the fish in that area. They share the same spawn capacity and can be out spawned by coles!
So I was just going about my day in ark, and then I see the spino. I don’t realize how much health they had and how much damage they did.😐 I was a frikin idiot and shot it with a rifle. It was barreling twards me. If your a starter like me, DONT ALERT IT
I was crossing a river at level 5, hoping the evil fish wouldn't try to eat me, when I look to my right and see this huge spino not too far away from me. I start running (the water was very shallow) towards the shore, when I see a huge group of dilos and a raptor. I decide going to the reb obelisk wasn't worth it, so I turn around and I see another raptor on the shore I was coming from. On my left was just deeper water with the evil fish who's name I cant remember. Suddenly the spino got bored of killing fish and thought a human would taste much better. You can guess what happened next.
Once, I was just a Beach Bob. I had a small thatch hut on the beach, with my dilos and Parasaur. I knew there was a Spinosaurus nearby, but it wasn’t very close. The next morning, I looked out upon the lake right by my house, and there is a freaking Spinosaurus swimming in there, just out of range, hunting fish. Nothing bad happened to me, my dinos, or my hut. Be careful around these guys.
Plssss help! I am a noob just a lil thatch hit a low lvl parasuar and a low lvl turtle.as I was on an "expedition"""" 2 steps away from my hut I heard a terrible noise...I didn't know what it was a dillo? Mabey, a raptor? Mabey a compy? Hope so. But no..I remembered the brutal beast I saw with my dodo on my first day.he was back I quickly checked the wiki for the roar and boy oh boy was I sad when I had found it was a Spinosaurus. Plus help each and every night I hear it getting closer and closer. Pls help.
They said the beaches were safe. The things I’ve seen on beaches would scare many men
To kill, or drive away, prepare 100+ ammunition of any kind, depending on the lvl and quality of your weapons. Ranged weapons are best, and these guys run away when on low health or high torpor. To drive out, just lower its health to around 10% or less of their health, this’ll be hard depending on the level of the spino.
Once tried to tame one for my bf while he was offline bc he wanted one. Flew with my Pterra and shot it full of 20!!!!! tranq arrows . Didn’t even flinch. I got too cocky and went too close to the edge of the cliff i was standing on. I fell off RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SPINO. it’s health was low enough that it started to run away. Without looking back, i whistled for my Pterra to follow and ran for my life. currently trying to get another one :( wish me luck!
