Picked up my first spino lastnight; was looking for a baryonyx to start…
Picked up my first spino lastnight; was looking for a baryonyx to start caving, but found this bad ol' 150 boy instead.
I built a 3x4 stone trap, as I watched him kill everything in sight, and led him in. I didnt tranq it out right away, but instead took my ptera back to base, got supplies, and swam my bad B sarco back to the beach, killing a few megalodons along the way.
The sarco does NOT get prime meat, so I had to bail off the back to harvest (or while mounted, but jumping off is easier and faster IMO)... parked in a spike wall fence (wasnt needed) and fed narcotics and went for prime fish when needed.
Easy.
The worst part, in all honesty, was trying to hit the damn thing and not run out of tranq darts, lol.
FYI, I killed EVERYTHING on ny little walk back to my base on Herb Isle. It was average on everything according to the calculator... except melee, hehehe... disappointed in its movement in water, but thats about it, the thing is a monster for sure.

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? 😏
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!

Sam: I heard your mobile ringing
Dad: That's impossible, I lost my phone on the boat.

Doctor Grant: *Whispers* Run..
I just knocked out a 140 spino
It's terrifying
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
Hey, ok so the center, coordinates 08.1 / 63.4 spinos will spawn there, if is not high enough just kill it, leave the area and come back after 3 mins. Normally works, I found a 150 and I'm taming it rn
You can't shoot it from a cliff it will run unless you have a really good aim
