Tips & Strategies
People say ‘build stone pillars’ but all you have to do is get up high. Now take a rifle, use drank darts (I had 24 and maybe more, but I had some leftover and some shots I missed). Also, if you are on a hill shooting the spino, make sure it can’t climb it. Start shooting, and once successfully knocked out, feed it. Raw fish meat, prime fish meat, and I believe even raw meat, and raw prime meat work (I used fish meat, so I can’t be sure about the raw meat). I used bio toxin, with does +80 torpidity, while a normal narcotic does +40. It says the bio toxin does 30 damage, but it actually doesn’t do any (I believe it only hurts humans). Once you tame the spino, I must warn you, once you are able to ride it (after crafting the saddle on a smithy), if you run over small creatures you kill them. But other than that, they are a amazing, strong, swift creature. And I really suggest taming, I was scared the first time I tried, but you’ll feel the sweet triumph after a while. Hope you tame a spino! Up for noobs to see! Have a nice day!

So, I’m level forty in the new game I just started, and I found a lvl 145 by my base and knew I needed to tame it. I used six stone Dino gates and got it trapped by leading it on my lvl 125 pteranodon. The freaking spino kills my flyer and I presume to tranq it. Dododex says only 53 tranqs for a level 145, but it took me close to 65… no misses. My crossbow legit broke on the last shot. Being a low level, I couldn’t really get my hands on prime meat, so I’m camped out next to this spino with my trike, feeding it hundreds of biotoxin and narcs as it slowly eats the fish meat I got ahold of. I’ve got a long three and a half hours ahead.

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? 😏
Love&Power here… I got that spino.😎 she’s level 210, and an absolute beast. Early game made easy.
If you tame a 30-40 early game along with tame bonus you can kill most anything in your way.
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!

-Your average ARK Mobile player ;)
They’re stronger than the T-Rex, and easier to tame, what else can I say? Also I found one near my base, so I made a crossbow and some narcotic and tamed it easily! …… then I died her pink with potent dust
Find one,wait for it to agro on something,shoot it with your 200 plus damage crossbow 5 times,you have a super rex
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
