What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These are stronger than the rex, and tame one of these beasts instead of some old rex. 1. they get an underwater buff when up to mid body in the water and farther. 2. on two legs their attacks are faster and stronger then a rexes but they walk slower,and on four legs they are faster, but not as strong. If a tamed one is following you, they will do this automatically, when riding you must do it on your own. 3. They're easier to tame then a rex! So if you're debating on taming one of these bad boys, or the infamous rex, choose this dude. These beasts need more recongition.
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!
This is a goated creature. Spinos are way better than t rexes, as they can go underwater too, and their patterns can look way cooler. They are easier to tame, I got a level 95 with 40-90 tranq arrows and with their upgrade stats they can murder any creature in the area as long as it’s on the ground super easy. 10/10 creature.
Spinos are really, REALLY, good. First, these things can switch between standing on 2 legs(allowing them to turn on the spot, and deal more damage, but be slower, even outdamaging a rex on 2 legs) and 4 legged mode(where they will do leas damage, but be way faster, and have a huge turning radios) you cannot use the 2 legged mode underwater, only on land, underwater u can only be with 4 legged mode. If a spino enteres water(a river, lake, inside an ocean, and so on) it will get a damage buff, health regen buff, and speed buf, making it a lot stronger. The buff is permanent as long as u at least touch the water, and lasts 30 seconds outside of it. The spino is very good at traveling, as most aggresive dinos(raptors, carnos, and so on) will become neutral towards you. The spino also has great speed on all 4, is quite slow on 2 legs, and is even faster with the water buff. It is also extremely powerful.mode. It also attacks faster than a rex. The spino also harvests a ton of meat and hide.
“South Zone 1 is the safest area!”
The humble Spinosaurus:
If you hear your mobile ring and you misplaced it.. run like hell because a spino is staring down at you.. right now..
A good way to get it unconscious without a flying dinosaur is by making 10 stone pillars, 10 wooden ladders then climbing up the pillars and shoot it with tranq darts or arrows, it can't break stone fast so ur safe. Pls don't use less than 10 pillars, I tried and I got pushed of the pillar and just died:( Sorry for my bad English. Hope this helped
Why tame either a Rex or Spino… when you can take both? 😏
at 40 damage a hit every 0.46 seconds, even they're lowest is 11 more DPS than the rex's 74.5 dps, and the highest at 108 dps, dps demons, approximately 38 mph in quadrupedal mode and faster than a megalodon in the water, forget tankiness, they blitz the dragon before they have to deal with it's 20% total-health fire breath with casualties (with enough melee damage and the courage buff), they get the hydration buff from the smallest puddles of the broodmother cave or the river in the megapithecus fight, even if they're in quadrupedal mode they deal more damage than the rex, 396,000 health vs a collective army of 25,000+ dps (if you spread them out before the swarm), 648,000 health vs 25,000+ dps, 864,000 vs 25,000+ dps. maybe I'm living under a rock because I see way higher damage in videos and way higher potential than just 500% melee damage.
Want to tame a super dimetrodon? Read on! Before we get to it, you're gonna want to prepare these things:
DIFFICULTY:
5/ 10: Intermediate
WHAT YOU WILL WANT:
-Taming weapon and ammo (Bow (Tranq arrows), Crossbow (Tranq arrows), Longneck rifle (Tranq/ Shocking tranq darts)
-Taming food (Meat (I prefer raw over fish) / Mutton, Kibble)
-Biotoxin/ Narcotics
Now that you have what you need, let's get taming!
For this dino, there are 2 methods (Honest). Here they are:
METHOD 1: The Trap
The usual. 2x2 stone trap (4 stone floors, 16 stone walls and 4-6 ramps), cost efficient and simple. Lead the spino into the trap and tranq it down. When taming, make sure to watch its torpor as it drains quite fast!
METHOD 2: Trapless
Very easy to perform. Find a spino and tranq it down, and chase it when it runs (Do note the spino is EXTREMELY fast). Also clear the area of nasties (I lost my spino to a Therizino), they like to aggro on everything. Now repeat the taming process and welcome your new spino to your family!
Now, onto the features of the Spino:
UTILITIES:
Spinos are glass cannons, typically having lesser health but more damage than a Rex. They have 2 stances -- The 4-legged and 2-legged stances. The 4-legged stance has a high attack rate but lesser damage, and vice versa for the 2-legged stance. They also have a Hydrophobic Boost, which boosts their stats when they enter a body of water. This increases their movement speed, damage and damage resistance.
That's pretty much it for the Spino! Thanks for your time and check out my other tips!

They said the beaches were safe. The things I’ve seen on beaches would scare many men
Ok this beauty is literally one of the best tames in the game. I tamed one in EARLY game (like literally level 10) and holy cow it's amazing. Way easier to tame than a Rex, has two attacks, is crazy fast when walking on water, has decent weight, and if you can get a pack of these nothing can touch you. I have like at least 10-15 and it's so awesome
Their babies are insanely strong. I breeded my lv 40 and the baby was even stronger then both of them combined! I definitely recommend breeding these guys. Also. Now I can take on that stupid alpha Rex. Don’t worry. I fully imprinted this little guy just like all my other ones. Every one ☝️ is one strength for my baby spino
I just knocked out a 140 spino
It's terrifying
TLC patch coming in March 2018 to add the ability to swap between 2 legged mode (faster attacks and ability to attack with claws) and 4 legged mode (Faster movement), as well as increased turning radius, movement speed, damage, and health regen while in water and for a short time after leaving it.
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?)
