What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
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 stuck, cover up the last gate and you can fire away. You can use whatever you want for taming. You can also do this with the rex.
The first day of ark I played I thought it was friendly bad decision…I walked up and it chased me…I ran into another one I lost everything
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!
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.
How to tame a Spino!
2 METHODS
Method 1 - Trapping (Easiest, Most Expensive)
Materials: 9x stone foundations, 24x stone double doorframe, 6x stone ramps.
Place the foundations in a 3x3 square, then 2 layers vertically of double doorframes along the edges. Then make a place the ramps along one wall.
Use a flyer (Pteranodon or Argentavis) and get the Spino to aggro on you. Then lead it up the ramp and into the trap. Then land and start shooting it with your tranq ammo of choice.
Method 2 - Pillar (Harder, Less Expensive)
Materials: 10x-15x stone pillars, 10x-15x ladders.
Place the pillars on top of each other, then ladders going up the pillars.
Get the Spino’s aggro and then go up the pillar on the ladder. When you get to the top, turn around and start shooting it with your tranq ammo of choice.
Where it gets difficult is when it starts torpor running . You must go down the ladder and follow it while shooting it, but it is faster than you, so this is easier said than done.
USES
They have good stamina, melee, and okay health, and they also can breathe underwater.
They get an infinite buff when in the water and lasts for 30 seconds after you leave the water.
They have 2 types of stances, the 2-legged stance and the 4-legged stance. When on 4 legs they will run faster but less attack ddamage. When on 2 legs they run slower but have more attack damage.

They look big and slow, but just wait till they see something and they go crazy fast. Also why’s everyone saying the beaches are the safest areas I’m on the beach and can see like 5 of these guys at a time south zone 3. In the forest there’s nothing except for the occasional dilo
Take 5 or 4 raptors and they can finish spino in no time mine one was 46 and second one was 36 and last one was 44 they smashed a spino
This Dino will kill literally everything within a 5 mile radius
Also it’ll wait by your body after it kills you until it finds something else to hunt
good luck
One time on a server I saw a rainbow spino and it was low but I had nothing but it still ran away from me.
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.
Yall, I just learned that Spinos are immune to Cnidarias shocks. They don't get stunned, they still fight. But the effects are, they are slower until Cnidarias shocks wear off. It just happened to Rexy, my OP Spino. A Cnidaria schocked her, but she didn't get stunned. She was just really slow on land when she finished all Cnidarias off.
I was really suprised, because most of my tames were stunned when Cnidarias shock them, unlike Rexy, who withstood the shock, and fought back. This is one of the spino's abilities. -TinaZ
When I was running it was dark and I fell off a low cliff and I saw a spin-off but I was on a rock it saw me and I got scared and I fell off the rock and I died so don’t try not to go by them
I got mine by going up on a cliff and it's really easy. so today I decided go to tame a spino with my argy, when I saw one I shot him a tranq dart then immediately hopped on my argy and flew up, after many shots it finally started running and I immediately started chasing him and after a while I finally got him down. then I started making a bed so I could save some time, I gave him the fish meat and a soothing balm, then I went to sleep and after coming out I saw this beast standing right next to my argy, at first I thought he just woke up but no... I actually tamed him
It can’t destroy stone so just make a stone foundation and build the stone walls about 10 high. Be sure to bring ladders and ceilings to make a little snipers nest. Also bring some narcotics because torpor drains fast. I used cooked prime meat to tame mine but just any meat will suit. Pretty easy tame this way for a big scary dino
