Fast movement speed, fast stamina regeneration, gets a buff when you enter water that increases speed. Great for meat running. In my experience the ability to “quickly” get a lot of kills outweighs the extra meat gathering a Rex or giga can give you. The ability to swim fast and gather a lot of fish meat also gives you more meat options. Stand on two legs to gather more meat, as it is a spino’s stronger attack. I would like to get more people on board for tek spino awareness! This is the Best PVE utility carnivore that’s underrated, they also changed the eggs, so they are only good for superior kibble now; but they require exceptional kibble to tame so you need a Rex or giga for eggs I guess... -Bestek

I recommend using a triceratops to farm narcoberries to keep it asleep

To knock it out make a wooden box made out of door thing without placing the doors,make a ramp made out of wood on whatever side you want,shoot it go over the ramp while it's following you go through the door thing and trap it

I recommend using crossbow and tranq arrows

Two ways to tame spino (especially on aberration)

Make a basic stone trap, 3x3 or 3x4 foundation, at least 3 door frames high and a wooden ramp.

Aggro him and run him up ramp

Make a bed near by if not fast enough

(I have 190% movement speed on official for reference so you might need to be close to trap to run him in)

Then knock him out, cryo him or demo door frames and enjoy your spino!

Another way to do it is(but not as reusable) is 3-4 stone dino gates and a bear trap.

For 3 gates, position the first two in kind of a wide triangle, put the bear trap right between them, run spino in and trap him in with last gate

For 4 gates, position them in a square, put bear trap, run spino in and trap him in with last gate

====================SPINOSAURUS======================

Encountering: Spinosaurus aquarliga is a dangerous creature, almost more dangerous than a rex. If you encounter one on the wild and you are unarmed, or you have just started the game, I suggest you run. If you just started and are planning on making your base near a spino, find a new area to build your base. If you are unarmed, avoid the the spino and run away. Spinos also have an ability to change from four legs to two legs. On two legs, they're taller and have stronger attacks, but slower. On four legs, They're faster and smaller, but have weaker attacks. They're also territorial, not aggresive.

Killing: To kill a spino, get a longneck rifle or long range weapon, (reccomending assault rifle or longneck rifle) and stand on a tall, steep cliff. Hit the spino and it will run up the cliff, but eventully get stuck. Keep hitting it until it's dead. If you want more meat, harvest with a metal pick. If you want more hide, harvest with a metal hatchet.

Taming: I reccomend looking for a leed with an icthy, but if none are availible, use 100 narcotic and 21 bio toxin for a lvl 9. Bring around 40 fish meat, too. If you can, use a longneck rifle with tranq darts, but if that's not avalible, use a bow with tranq arrows. Get up on a high cliff and hit it once. Once it notices you, it should run up and get stuck. It may bite, or slash, but it doesn't matter. It can't hit you. Once it's high on torpor, if you are in focus, go out of focus, so you can run after it. Keep hitting it, when it starts to run away it's high on torpor, so it'll be down in around 3 hits, for a lvl 9. Note: Don't knock it out in water, they DO have an oxygen stat. Once it's unconsious, if you're taming it with prime fish meat, it'll tame quickly. If you're taming it with bio toxin and narcotic and reg fish, it's longer. Give it the fish meat, and once it goes an 8th of the way down, feed it 6 narcotic and one bio toxin. Repeat until it's tamed.

Uses: Spino's are great battle creatures, and in my opinion, are better than rexes. Their quadruped and biped stances are great for battle. Owning two is great for bringing down creatures, and can demolish alpha raptors. Also, when bringing out spino's for battle, you may notice trike's will glow red. They do this whenever there is a spino or rex in the area, even if the spino or rex is tamed. I'm not sure if tamed trikes do this with tamed spinos and wild spinos. Spino's are great for bringing down brontos, too. Spino's do get an underwater buff when their in water up to mid body and higher. It lasts 30 seconds out of water.

That concludes this Ark guide for noobs and pros, Spinosaurus. Please ^ if this helped you!

So i am a level 33 and i tamed a spino

Where to find:

It spawns near the beach or near the river

Requirement's:

You dont need an flyer you only need to be prepared you 20-30 Tranq arrows and like 20-30 bio toxins the narcotics are not forced to use and you dont need to trap it if is a low level

How to tame:

You need to find I recommend a level 3 go and tranq him if he comes towards you don't panic only run and continue shooting him when he runs away follow him and don’t let him fell in the river or the pirhanas will attack but when it on the ground protect him kill anyone in a ten meter radius because it’s a big dino so obviously it has bigger hitboxes feed raw fish and biotoxin and should be your

Who said you need trap for these boys?

First, get tranq darts and biotoxin (their torpor sucks). Then, get a Tapejara/ Raptor/ Equus so you can shot while you are on the saddle. They will run away after you shoot them some times so chase them. One knocked it out make sure to check on the torpor level so you don't lose it. Then, name it Pookie.

You don't need traps if you are fast and more intelligent than them🍷

It's quite hard to tame of these bad boys, unless you know how to do it. Spinos get distracted EXTREMELY easily, even a coel will make them stop chasing you, so by FAR the best way to tame them is to trap them. Use 3x3 stone foundations. then build 12 doorframes on each side as walls, and put a ramp big enough for the spino to walk on. You know, the classic trap. Kite them into it(the have a big turning raidos on all 4, so take note of it) and then trap them. They are quite fast so use something fast too, like an argy or ptero. Then, once trapped, knock em out with tranq darts, and give them exceptional (or argy kibble on mobile) kibble, if u can't get that use raw prime fish meat. Once tamed (it will take a while, get at least 300 narcos, even if ur using kibble) and once tamed, slap a saddle on it and ur good to go!

I bred and fully imprinted a lv120 called River King (son of spino richie😂) and he has 200% movement speed. Couple this with the boost from running through water and he is the perfect tame for patrolling beaches and rivers, imagine a land tame that can keep up with a ptreadon he's stupidly fast and can dominate both on land and sea

These guys (in my opinion) are better than Rex’s in every way because they can run faster on four legs, attack faster on two legs, they have a buff while standing in water BUT they’re not perfect for example they lay superior eggs and if you’re using them for bosses they prefer to attack on four legs so they do less dps than a Rex so I would only recommend for bosses if there is water in the arena

So I was on my Therizinosaur on ark mobile and then I saw these while going home. I was like “Oh yeah that’s free XP and Levels for my Theri” and attacked one. I didn’t realize that it was Lvl 100+. It ripped a chunk of my theri’s health, but I killed it and survived. I saw another one, and I was like, “Oh yeah that’s another level there” and tried to kill it. I killed it, but my Therizino was below one thousand. There was one last one, and I took the risk. Boom! Now below 700, with Raptors attacking me. My therizino had a penny of health now. Moral: Don’t take risks with these guys.
