What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Easier to find than theris, rexes and megatheriums and have more health and damage too. I cannot stress just how much better spinos are than the three so called ‘boss Dino’s’ Use spinos for all bosses on the island.
Make trap because they run faster than U when going to be killed or torpidity is high.Their saddle opens at lvl 71 they can be found anywhere near water(instead of swamp,thier swamp spawn rate is lowwww)And they don't damage stone :)
Anyone know how to get rid of a spino who just stands there and will not move away from your base ;-;
Tamed one with raw meat only and it took at least 5 ark days.
These guys are just massive wusses (making them harder to tame) knock em to like 2/3 health, they run. Knock em to almost half torpor, they run
It is actually Really easy to tame These.
You Need:
1 Longneck Rifle
10 Tranquelizer Bullets
15 Normal Bullets
To be Good Leveled in running Speed
100 Narcoberries
First you Need To Help him fight Every other Creatires in His near (there are Always some) when Hes done fighting with them and has eaten their corpse, He will Chase you, Just give him easy headshots with the Tranquelizer Bullets, (that is easy cause He constantly Looks at you). Then knock him Out. After knocking him Out you Need weapons or Dinos to clear the area of ANY Predators, (thats what the Bullets are for).
After knocking Out, give him Prime meat and fill him constantly with Narco (Berries Work too).
And congratulations! You've Made yourself a "Mister Spy"
Have fun!
Before you attempt to tame it I suggest you trap it first
These guys are TANKS. They’re stronger than a Rex, but slow on land. I recommend though. Use them for getting around in water areas to fight off creatures like a sabertooth salmon on megapirhana. 10/10! Tame one!
Alright guys. Thank you so much for persuading to tame one of these bad boys. I haven’t yet but here is my game plan (im the person that said the spino is my fav Dino and I needed 10 👍🏻 By Christmas to be confident enough to tame one) thank you so much for 26 Ups!!!
Ok here it is,
There is a swampy river by my base. I go there a lot for fish and to get chitin. It has, as far as I know, NO sarcos andNO ku- ke- ki-? Whatever the other death croc is. But it dose have a spino spawn. I will get all the stone I can get and then put it in my paras inventory. Then I will ride him to the swampy river. Once I locate a spino I will hop of my para and unload him. Then I will craft a trap that someone suggested. 3x3 stone platform, a wall then a doorframe then a wall on three sides. Just wall on 4th. wood ramp going in on fourth wall. I will lead spino in trap then hit with tranqu arrows. I have ALOT of bio toxin so I won’t need to worry about narcotics. Thank you again so much. Btw I am sarco master but I didn’t put my tag on the spino thing that said it is my fav Dino in rl
-sarco master
I just recently tamed a spinosaurus today by having about 32 tranq arrows but only having to use around 20. I got up on a hill and continued shooting it. Like all dinos do, the spino started running away when it got high on torpidity. I now have a new male spino!
so cooked fish meat takes less time to tame a spino? also prefer scraping from scrape meat fish to tame
Everyone says the Rex is better than the Spino because if it’s health... or is it.
Thing about Spino, insane damage, mediocre health, quadripedal and bipedal form, water buff, destroyer of rivers. Great for underwater exploration, and good knock back.
Rex, rawr, outstanding health, great damage, meat gatherer, tek saddle, destroyer of land, and kind of bad stamina.
This dino op as a early game dino. Good kb, can juggle Trexes. Just make sure it doesn't go underwater if there are jellyfish nearby, and don't go near deepwater. It will die to a random eel spawning and giving everyone brain concuction. Good even for Basil hunting for ez oil, good against Manta. Just to make sure, make sure you harvest Megaladon with a pickaxe though, you will not get Prime fish meat if you harvest with Spino
If you’re like me, and you have five of these wayyy before level 71, buy the tannery(on mobile… it’s what I play, so I don’t know if it’s the same way for other versions), which costs forty ancient amber. The journeyman spino saddle is 600 cures, and you usually start out with five hundred cures. You can get two hundred more cures for twenty ancient amber. If you’re not wanting to buy the amber, get an icthy and get all the underwater drops you can, as you get a good amount of ancient amber roughly every other drop. I’m riding my spino, and it’s my favorite dinosaur so far. I’m glad I figured this out, because I did not want to wait.
When taming make sure u get a lot of prime bc that will help much more. Spinos are honestly the best tame ever so u want to tame one.
