Does the large bear trap immobilize this guy? Asking for a friend.
If your new and with a tri mate just bola the tri mate and run
I have tamed 2 of these guys when I was around lvl 35-40s. Find some near rivers, find a good rock and shoot them (with tranqs of course) to knock them out. It helps to have a flier eg. pteranodon to move between rocks.
You can also use your pteranodon’s twirl ability to hit low level Spinos in mid-air so a higher level may spawn in it’s place.
Good luck! I hoped this helped :)
Even when they have oxygen, they are good when swimming through deep sea, my spino can destroy mosas, and even tusoteuthis without trouble. I rather use my “Lake” Spino than my forgotten water mounts actually, but if you’re going to take your Spino to the sea, be careful with jellyfish
Hello, this a Jedi. Me and my sister tamed one of these just now, and this is how we did it. 1. If you have and to find one of these, to scouting on a pteranadon. DO NOT ENGAGE, I REPEAT, SO NOT ENGAGE. 2. Go back to your base and make lots of tranque arrows and narcotics. 3. Go back to it with your pteranadon, and to to the spino. Park slightly far away from it. 3. BRING A FREIND. Me and my sister did this on single player. I don't think either of us could have taken it by ourselves. 4. Wait for it to attack something, like a parasaur. Then have your freind on the other side and load it with tranques. It will run fast and in the water so have a crossbow. Feed it meat and enjoy your monstrous freind! We named ours Titan. I'll post stories once he's seen action.
When i saw spino for the first time i rush to get a stock of food and tame it.Taming spino is easy just need crossbow with traq arrow and narcostic then wait.
on mobile you can kill spino by placing 1 wooden spike wall and then shoot it with arrow under 20 shot and then K.O
On Valguero tame them in the AB trench, they’re really common there.
Just go up on a higher rock and give him a shot of 57 tranq arrow at least
If spino can climb on rock then pray to god ☠️
Spino have an enormous turning radius. You can use this to your advantage. If a spino chases you run inland or toward a bunch of trees. The spino will get stuck on the trees and then turn around running in a full circle to reach you. For some reason even though the spino is large enough to knock down trees it will turn around and run in a wide arc attempting to reach you.Just be mindful of other dangers inland like raptors and carnotaurus.
If you see these near your base get off the beach/away from the water you don't need to be to far away just a safe enough distance
Too tame it you just have to get on a high enough cliff so that it can't hit you then start tranqing it and when the spino runs peruse with something that flys
Spino's are powerful anyone who says rexes are better has not used a spino they are faster and stronger they can also swim. Don't use rexes unless they are ur faves. Spino's are just easier to use. They won't die just because something gets behind u. Rexes will die to anything that gets in there blind spot, they are frustrating. Rexes are good amount I just will never use them if I don't have to. My main mount is the baryonyx.
For tames, I think these things are really good. They are fast on both land and in water, they have the might of a quadruped and a biped, they have good HP and good damage, and they get a water buff. BUT, I really need some help. I need 10 spin-off sails for summoning the alpha megapithecus, but I only have four and I can’t find a single spino. I tried killing all the water creatures in the rivers where they spawn but I still can’t seem to get any. I need 6 more spino sails, but I can’t get any. Start your tip with #howtogetsails so that I know you are answering my question. Thanks!
I'm a average ark player but I just used 4 stone gateways and that's it I tried doing it on a cliff but it was to fast to try run and tranq so the trap is definitely easier but I do play single player with settings boosted a little so I don't know how hard stone gateways are to get normally.
