What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I just kinda went on a cliff and shot it with a bunch of tranq arrows until it was knocked out then just fed it biotoxins and raw fish meat, it did take awhile though
Now I’ve got a spino next to like my dodos and raptors it looks so out of place
Things you will need:
Tranq arrows or darts. ( I needed only 12 )
Longneck rifle or crossbow. { I used crossbow}
The trap method:
Take some stone pillars and place in an area a spino will fit. Then tranq it up and feed it (raw prime fish meat works best )
Your spino is tamed
The old school method:
Get up in an area higher than the spino and knock it out. You will need to chase after it tho. Then feed it.
Your spino is tamed!
- Dinoshark.
They around the south-east river bordering the southern edge of the redwoods
spino’s, personally I believe they’re AMAZING tames, but trapping them is a pain, somehow they managed to get out of the trap mid knockout because there seems to be an odd glitch where they decide they just simply don’t wanna be trapped. I reccomend using a giga trap with stone. (if you don’t know how to do the “giga trap” you need about 4 dino gates, place 3 placed with 2 gates open to where the spino will stand, with one gate where it would run out, and a bear trap in the middle where you would run into, and dodge it, making the spino in stead get stuck, then go behind it and place a gate behind it’s tail and boom it’s stuck. make sure to use normal gates not behemoth) and get to taming!
I wasn't expecting for one to spawn in the easy zone on the shore line like come on i was coming back home from doing a mission and the Spino gave me a heart attack but I guess it was my fault for killing all of the cinardia (jelly fish) in the river causing it to spawn in since I made room for it. But now not only do I have to deal with megapiranhas, jellyfish,titanboas, and megalodons I have to deal with a spino now too.
for the X-Spino you're going to need a minimum of 150 darts and 300 narco or 2000 narcoberry
Always use toxiant and feed it prime trust me it will work
For this dinosaur I suggest using big bear traps to help keep the spino in place while shooting tranq arrows. Shooting at its head will tranq it faster .I also suggest using a crossbow, it will make the process faster.👍👍
Use a grappleing hook and get above where they can reach and go crazy with your trank darts until it passes out then give it some prime meat and have a bad A dino
First build 4 or 10 stone gates and place 3 or 9. Take a Dino that can tank some attacks from the spino and put it in your trap. If it’s in, launge the last gate. Walk out the trap with your dino(if your dino is bigger than the gate this won’t work). Now what I would recommend is leave him alone for a game day. When you’ll come back he is hungry and will eat faster. I also recommend taking a smoothing balm(mobile) the spino likes meat and argentavis kibble. It’s torpor goes down fast so take some biotonic with you. The saddle is on lvl 71. Once it’s tamed. 🔥🔥🔥🔥. It will be the fastest and the strongest Dino you’ll have. Spino>ark(except wild giga)
I’m level 37 and apparently have poor judgement skills. First, I brought only 30 tranq arrows. Next I brought 50. The third time her friend ganged up on me. But now I’m prepared. I’m going to make 100 tranq arrows, I have minor soothing balm, about 100 raw meat, and 50-some bio toxins. Up if you think it’s enough.
You can find tons of Spinos around the redwoods river
To trap it, make a “C” shape out of small stone dino gates, put a large bear trap in the middle and lure the beast in. When the trap snaps, walk behind it and close it in with one final dino gate. To knock it out, I would use a longneck with tranq darts. Make sure you have a LOT of narcotic or bio toxins because this drains torpor significantly faster than a rex.
Spinos are much more interested in you if u were near a lake or beach... they are territorial creatures however to escape feom that villian just run toward jungle or woods just run away as fast as possible from beach or lake they will lose interest on you in the end... well if u survived....goodluck
