Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the 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.

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

Believe me...

After TLC 2 you WANT this guy in your army...

With more agility, speed, damage and DPS, the spino can easily take a wild Rex.

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

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…

These things can drown..! I repeat these things can drown..! i found and tamed a max lvl and it drowned while i was on the deep ocean, Turns out they have oxygen! unlike the barry.

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 :)

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!

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!

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…

If you have a pteranadon, 4 stone Gates and a large bear trap with around 20-35 tranqs in a crossbow you can take it down. Imagine a square of Gates, except there's one missing and a L bear trap in the middle. You lure It from the side with the gate missing. when it gets…
