HOW TO TAME FOR BEGINNERS
Supplies: A bow or better yet a cross bow, around 10 to 30 tranqu arrows (depending on lvl), a fast mount like an iggy or gal, an ichy fish if u have one
First you need to locate your spino, they spawn in rivers and deltas. Next make your battle plan. If you can not reach it by a ichy fish, use a iguanodon or a gallimimus to ride into battle. (You can also use a flying mount but I would not recommend)It is cheapest to get it stuck in trees or a cliff. Lure it to a place where nothing aggressive will attack you. Preferably surrounded by non-aggressive herbies. As soon as you are ready, use a bow or cross bow to nock it. If it chases you on an ichy into the water, hope off after a shot or two so it wonβt drown when knocked. Then feed ur spino FISH if you donβt have any prime or mutton. Make sure you have ALOT of bio toxin AND narcotics. Too much bio tox somtimes will KILLL ur spino if you give it too much so have like 30 narcotics with you wile you tame. Once he or she is tamed lead them back home and you have one of the best dinos in game! π if helpful

I tamed one low level without any trap and just a bow lol just be careful while doing it
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 Spinoβ¦ when you can take both? π
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!

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. Donβt worry. I fully imprinted this little guy just like all my other ones. Every one βοΈ is one strength for my baby spino
I just knocked out a 140 spino
It's terrifying
Hey, ok so the center, coordinates 08.1 / 63.4 spinos will spawn there, if is not high enough just kill it, leave the area and come back after 3 mins. Normally works, I found a 150 and I'm taming it rn
You want to tame a fish eating machine?Well who am I kidding you probably are!
First,we need to know what we're dealing with here.
This is a super predator that eats fish.It gets a health regen,speed and damage buff when it reaches the water mid way through the body.
Here's what you need to bring:
To Knock it out
A crossbow/longneck rifle (tranqs)
To tame it
To tame this bad boy you're gonna need fish meat because it semi-aquatic.Use prime fish meat over normal fish meat because y'k it's prime(you can get it from megs or using a sickle to harvest it from normal fishys)
To keep it asleep
Bio toxin/Nacrotics or Nacroberries for a low level
To trap it
You can use the 4 dino gates and bear traps method
Or the 16 ramps,16 floors and 40 door ways to trap it
But I'll use the 4 dino gates since it's easier
Now onto taming
To tame this beast you have to be brave and maybe have a tame to sacrifice (rip big bird)
Locate your desired spino usually they spawn near swamps,south zones,beaches(I only know the Island spawns)
They also share spawns with fishes so kill all the fish in the area and go out of render there might be 1-2 spinos
Build your trap and shoot the spino to agro it.You should now have it trapped now shoot it till it falls asleep.Put the fish meat in and it should be taming.It's torpor drains 1/3 of the giga so be sure to check on it and feed it narcotics to keep it asleep!
Now it should be yours.You can name it whatever you want!
