Tips & Strategies
To all the people who are like “there is a spino how do I deal with it”
Well I have had first hand experience fighting these as a low level. So really you have a few options. You can
A: try to kill it with ranged weapons
B: try to kill it with wild herbivores
C: use your tames to try to kill it
And
D: run
For A
You will want a decent crossbow and 10-20 arrows for a level 1-10. Then get high ground to shoot at it. Spinos have low health off they are low level. But it will try to run
For B
Try finding high level or very strong herbivores
Hit it with a bow and get it to chase you. Then run past a herbivore that’s good for a fight with it and maybe try to help it with a bow
For C
You will need a strong tames and basically you want the spino out of water and you fight it with your tames. Whistle target and send them to fight. Make sure to back them up so use a ranged weapon
And finally for D
D is actually really complex and risky. You need to get all your stuff and put it in your tames and run away from the spino. Now you should scout where your gonna go first and make sure there’s a way to get around all the threats.

Warning if you decide to spawn in south zone 1 on the island, spinos occasionally spawn. When I was still a newbie I went onto a nomadic journey, once I got better, I ko'd and accidentally killed the spinos.
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!
They said the beaches were safe. The things I’ve seen on beaches would scare many men
Beware at least one spino ALWAYS spawns dangerously close if you pick south zone 3
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?)
Don’t mess with this unless you gonna tame it, it has high damage enough speed so you don’t get away and in the worst case a waterbuff
Which makes him do more damage and he never runs out of stamina cuz it recovers faster than it consumes it with waterbuff
As a beginner they’re your worst nightmare they will destroy your base and all your tames BUT as a tame your everyone else’s worst nightmare
These are one of the best in my opinion it spawned in like south zone 2 or 3 I was in 1 I was going to kill it when I saw one that was not a alpha so it was normal and it murdered 2 alpha trikes!These are op I hope I can kill it I’m only lvl 23 with some rappers and stuff but do not attack and don’t go in there domaine unless prepare and near high ground.
Rip me
If you see a weird coloured sail in the water, run...
To those trying to find one of these, look around in the river channels near the green obelisk. If that doesn’t work, kill all the fish in your local river. Killing the fish seriously works… I’ve done it several times. Unfortunately, the spinos were low level, so I killed them for EXP. Repeat until you have high level spino.
