Tips & Strategies

For new people struggling, these guys are close to impossible to kill while touching water, never fight them in water, but they do get distracted by fish really easily, if one is too close to your preferred area and your not ready to fight it, drop all your valuables at your hut, have a sleeping bag or preferably a bed in your hut, grab a bow and a few arrows and hit them from far away till they follow you to a different section of river or beach, they might get distracted before they get to you, and if you have a mount you can usually outrun them, they won't get away from water, so if you peg one in the direction away from your area and run up hill once they get close they'll forget you and relocate to the nearest fish. They actually aren't too tough on dry land if you have enough dinos to get them stuck so they can't run back to water, I've taken them out with 5-6 dilos and a few Teranodons. On dry land.
More Spinosaurus Encountering Tips
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!
“South Zone 1 is the safest area!”
The humble Spinosaurus:
They said the beaches were safe. The things I’ve seen on beaches would scare many men
They can’t destroy stone structures, but they can hit you from the other side. Up so noobs can see
Once I was just chillin at my base with my 4 trikes, 2 raptors and 1 bronto them this spino walks up to my base wrecks my house and kills my tames I barely get away on my raptor. THIS BEAST PLAYED VOLLEYBALL WITH MY BRONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tamed one now I have a big base lots of tames and my spino is the same one that ruined my base all that time ago. (Ironic right?)
They are super strong in spider boss fight because the spider fight has water that give spino super high buff to kill her
Don’t mess with this unless you gonna tame it, it has high damage enough speed so you don’t get away and in the worst case a waterbuff
Which makes him do more damage and he never runs out of stamina cuz it recovers faster than it consumes it with waterbuff
If you see a weird coloured sail in the water, run...
Scream ERIIIIIC!!! They'll come running like a Rex to a diplodocus
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!
