Tips & Strategies
Usually, only under ai control can the Spino use its claw attack while swimming underwater while the rider can't. You can cheat this by dismounting your Spino and letting it get attacked by an agressive sea creature like a megalodon and the moment you hear the hurt sound, mount the Spino. This allows you to use the claw attacks with the ability to turn on the spot along with a much improved rise/descend speed while swimming turning the dino into a force to be reckoned with. I don't know if this works on PC but it allowed me to kill an Alpha Mosaurus.
The Spino will go back to its default bite attack if it fully surfaces, instead let the Spino lightly "bump" against the water surface in order to let it breathe without going back to its bite attack.
I hope this helps!

These are stronger than the rex, and tame one of these beasts instead of some old rex. 1. they get an underwater buff when up to mid body in the water and farther. 2. on two legs their attacks are faster and stronger then a rexes but they walk slower,and on four legs they are faster, but not as strong. If a tamed one is following you, they will do this automatically, when riding you must do it on your own. 3. They're easier to tame then a rex! So if you're debating on taming one of these bad boys, or the infamous rex, choose this dude. These beasts need more recongition.
Theyβre heavily nerfed in ASA, the bipedal stance doesnβt swing as fast as it did in ASE, making their Rexes outshine them in hp dmg and dps now.
Spinos are really, REALLY, good. First, these things can switch between standing on 2 legs(allowing them to turn on the spot, and deal more damage, but be slower, even outdamaging a rex on 2 legs) and 4 legged mode(where they will do leas damage, but be way faster, and have a huge turning radios) you cannot use the 2 legged mode underwater, only on land, underwater u can only be with 4 legged mode. If a spino enteres water(a river, lake, inside an ocean, and so on) it will get a damage buff, health regen buff, and speed buf, making it a lot stronger. The buff is permanent as long as u at least touch the water, and lasts 30 seconds outside of it. The spino is very good at traveling, as most aggresive dinos(raptors, carnos, and so on) will become neutral towards you. The spino also has great speed on all 4, is quite slow on 2 legs, and is even faster with the water buff. It is also extremely powerful.mode. It also attacks faster than a rex. The spino also harvests a ton of meat and hide.
To be strictly honest the spinosaur is one of the best mounts in game if you are even wble to obtain one be sure to make it a high level one they are very squishy at first so go around killing small dinos before attacking big prey
A level thirty five spino can run from, and kill a pack of six allos with easeβ¦
After taming one all I can say is that it's basically a rex but more agile.
Great all purpose mount.on land or in water.If you see one of these in the water RUN.
I think dis thing should have a platform saddle for his giant spine. And also PEOPLE STOP SAYING THEY ARE USELESS THEY COULD LEND YOU A HAND FROM LEADING A GIGA AWAY FROM YOUR HOUSE LIKE BUBBLES DID!!!! *salutes bubbles* βgood bye good sirβ TnT
TLC patch coming in March 2018 to add the ability to swap between 2 legged mode (faster attacks and ability to attack with claws) and 4 legged mode (Faster movement), as well as increased turning radius, movement speed, damage, and health regen while in water and for a short time after leaving it.
4 Legged gives hide the most, 2 Legged gives Raw meat the most.
