These things ain’t as bad as they look. A decent level sarco can take one down with a few shots from a longneck first.

So, the Spinosaurus. Ya’ want to know how to tame one, correct? Well, here is a list of ways I’ve tamed them in the past.

1: Stonehenge & Large Bear Traps

Build 6 stone dinosaur gateways, and put one in the front, and then 2 long around the sides. Like a rectangle Stonehenge but have the very back has no gate. Fill the place up with large bear traps at the one dinosaur gateway. Lead the Spino inside and then go around the back and place the final Dinosaur Gateway. The Spino is now trapped within Stonehenge and can easily be tamed with an ascendant bow/crossbow, a decent crossbow, or a normal Longneck with tranq darts. Keep shooting and don’t stop until it’s unconscious. Feed it any prime meat or fish meat, and use 150+ narcotics or bio-toxins. Try bringing 100 narcotics for level 30, 150 for level 100 and 300 for level 200+. If you are on mobile, try using Soothing Balm if you don’t have enough food/narcotics. Hope this helps!

Oh shoot I’m at the character limit.

You do not need all the prep to tame a Spino. Simply use large bear traps. Also don’t waste time with narcotics. Bio toxins are much easier to get and work better.

If your on genesis you can find them at lat 59 lon 78.

Pro tip! Have a flyer or mount that you can fire weapons from if you dont want to use a trap. Please do not attempt to tame on foot unless you are stupid fast! They will run you down and if you do manage to survive than good luck chasing it.

Always have a bronto with yourself or any other high hp dinosaur this will take spinos attention from you to your dino and start shooting with crossbow tranq arrows

To tame a spino you need about 4-5 tranq darts, you can tame a lvl 10 spino with 2 darts and an raptor, use the raptor to rush the spino and tranq it once, it will agro, so run away, then go back and dart it again and it is knocked. To find they are most active at beaches or any place with water, you can find 1 in a beach, 10 in those water fall type of valleys.

Be careful there fast dangerous and can kill you

You’ve probably already seen this but the best trap for a spino is 4 normal sized Dino gateways and a bear trap. Place the traps in a square shape but leave the last one open, don’t place it yet. Place down a bear trap, lead it to the bear trap then but the gate behind it and boom.

For low levels all you need is height, 10 tranq darts (get more just incase) 30 narcotics and 20 fish. Shoot it, feed it with narcotics (and fish) until it get to like 94% tame, and you should have a spino. I did exactly that, died once but it got knocked out when I respawned and now I have a level 4 green spino! Goodluck!

Rip: Bubbles spino died by giga

I'd take a spino over a rex simply because they are arks ATV's. They can cover mountains, rocks, and can swim very well. They're also very good for conquering the swamp.

Great Land and Sea mount!

Others have pointed out its great farming capability in water but more specifically I was able to farm 2k chitin from eurypterids in under 5 minutes with my spino<3

Btw the load of eurypterids i found is in the shipwreck in the bottom of the cove at Viking Bay(:

Spino can eat them up to collect the resource so you avoid getting stung and KOed under water!

So you get loads of chitin, meat, oil and pearls!

Thes guy are god and the rex are joke against them;)

Spinosaurus vs Rex:

Spinosaurus: has two modes: one for travel and one for attack. It’s faster and stronger than the Rex depending on the mode. Four legs = faster Two legs = stronger

Rex: only has one mode but has higher health and stamina than the spinosaurus. The Rex is basically a tank that can take some hits and it may not have as good damage as the spinosaurus, but can deal a lot of damage.

They are both good. Just choose who you want

Super useful on aberration, use in the river area... kill all fish in the water... you will level like crazy.

Bein' a piratey raft lad, I don't go inland to oft'n so I know thems sailed critters don't live on the out'r beaches, so don't go lookin' for a saily lad if on the shores.

Only capture a high level spino anything else will be a waste of your time and effort. As you will find the low levels to be as squishy as a pillow

Nothing feels like the feeling like taming this at a low level then waiting 80 years to ride it! 😌😲😯

DON'T waste time on feeding it normal meat l.

Feed it FISH/PRIME FISH meat to make is little bit quicker.
