There’s about 5 around my base. There my favourite dinosaur species and I’m yet to tame one. Or two. Or ALL OF THEM.

I’m near the section with lots of rocks and no trees.

If you start in the Southern Isles (south spawn region) and head west across the shoreline you’re bound to run into one that’ll be hanging out in a river connecting a swamp and the open ocean. Just be mindful of it’s location and try to stick near the trees while watching the shoreline.

Torpor goes down faster than Rex so be careful, even god console might not save you

I knocked one of these out with like 15 tranquil darts he is now on probably 22%

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.👍👍

You could farm for exp and they are mostly found near river

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)

Do not underestimate their height, on two legs they can reach higher than the stone building height limit, outside of that they are pretty much the best water tame your gonna get, imagine a Sarco on adrenaline. I’ve got 4 of em now and don’t regret getting any of em

Hello I am the person who tamed Hemlock and posted the following tip:

Spino is my absolute FAV Dino. I haven’t seen one in ark cus I kinda like to keep to my own little area. There is a spino spawn thing a little farther than I have gone. Should I?

10 likes or up by Christmas = yes

At the time of writing this that tip has 184 likes. Not only was I convinced to tame Hemlock, my beautiful buddy, it gave me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone.

After I tamed Hemlock (who I named after the poisonous water hemlock) I noticed he was getting lonely. So, as any good master would do I decided to find a mate for him so he can stop feeling lonely. I hopped on my ichy, Mint Chocolate, and went for a swim to check out spino spawns by the coast. Wile I did find many promising spinos, none of them where female. At last I checked the last spino spawn I could get too by ichy. Nothing. Hemlock grew even sadder when I returned empty handed. It turned out Charlie, my baby raptor, over heard me talking to Mint about finding Hemlock a friend, then told Hemlock. I was heart broken watching Hemlock pout by the river all day. I checked a map that could show me the locations best to find spinos when I saw something awesome! There was a spino spawn just up the river by my base! I also remember seeing a spino there awhile back. Of course it chased me off before I could really take a good look at it. Immediately, I jumped onto my iguanodon, Nerra. Then road off to the river. As I arrived at the river I took out my spy glass to get a better look, and there she was! A beautiful pink and tan female spino! I noticed then that she was injured. Either way I would of helped her but, this was perfect because it meant less chance of her hurting me and Nerra. It was easy to calm her down with my traqu arrows and cross bow, and with a few narcotics and a lot of fish meat, she became happy with me. Ever since I brought her home Hemlock has been happier then ever. I named her Lilly, and she loves Hemlock and all of our tames.

PLS UP THIS ME AND MY PTERONONODON GOT KILLED BECAUSE I DIDN’T KNOW THIS:

They can break out of large bear traps in seconds. Beware of planning a trap and tame.

He protec

He attac

He eat ur biotox stack

Despite being big and burly, didn’t take much tranq darts to knock out one (especially an X-Spino)

Once I saw a high level spino wandering around and killing everything in sight and when I shot my bow it ran away and I was like what the hell? Killing them isn’t hard just tame a few Dilophosaurs and let them spit poison at the Spino before killing it with your pistols. If you don’t have pistols, get more and higher leveled Dilo and stand back and shoot it with a bow to assist.

If you encounter a spino and you don’t at least have a good triceratops you’re basically dead on arrival. Spinos aren’t big slow pushovers the way rexes are, they can and will actually tear you in half, they rely off a different ai than most creatures because their ai is programmed to spam attack as fast as they possibly can oh and they do a ton of damage, they can outrun and out swim you so unless you can fly or have a super fast mount be prepared to fight, you’re not outrunning this thing trust me.

(Ark Mobile) So you’ll need to bring plenty of narcotics (100 should be good but I bring more) about a stack of tranq arrows or darts, a good flying mount (health, speed, and stamina wise), and plenty of the food to tame it with. First what you’ll want to do is find it and lure it away from any body of water, becuse if you knock it out in water it will drown (it did for me twice). Then you’ll want to keep shooting it until it runs away this is where the mount speed and stamina is helpful. Chase it and if you can try to keep it away from water. When it’s knocked feed it the food and plenty of narcotics. And boom enjoy your new super powerful Dino! Hope this helps :)

These guys are ridiculously fast if taming them is really hard unless you have a pteranodon

Umm so I got a spino from pure hard work and he was a low lvl which makes sense because I was about lvl 55 or something like that . So I was just killing stuff and found some piranha and I told my spino to kill them . There was about 4 of them and my spino had like 1500 hp left . I looked away for like 5 seconds and when turned around he was just taking a nap as I got closer to him I found out he just wanted to take an eternal nap and guess who had the medicine, the piranhas did

Yup that right four piranha which were 2-5 lvl killed a spino which had like 1500 hp left in the water

It’s been like 9 months or maybe even more and I still can’t find the answer ,no player could kill it because it was single player

Just spawned into a new world on the island and spent a solid 30 min making a thatch base. I walked down the beach and saw a spin-off pop out of the ocean right in front of me. Killed me in two hits. Was not expecting to see a spin-off in my first 30 of playing! Going to try and tame it tomorrow.

Dwarfing all but the largest creatures, Spinosaurus is the terror of the land and the water. A spinosaurus is the unrivaled all terrain animal, combing land power with naval abilities. Although it has less HP and damage than the Rex, Spinosaurus makes up for that with a higher attack rate and wider AoE. Pump HP, stamina, damage and a bit of speed for an unstoppable war machine.

Brilliant all-rounder, I had a spino named ripper, first big tame, he was brilliant. They are great for mobility, good for attacking other dinos and just overall a fun tame! As I’m posting this, I’m taming ripper II. Wish me luck and enjoy fellow ark player
