The free gift gave me a spino saddle wen i was lvl 45

My favourite Dino is a Tapejara- I love them. My friend’s favourite Dino is a Spino. I convinced him to tame a Tapejara with me, so we did- and he doesn’t regret it. On our way back I spotted a mid-level Spino, and as my friend’s new he didn’t know about level stuff, so I knew he wouldn’t care. I stocked up on loads of narcotics for both of us and during our shenanigans I tranqed him and snuck them into his inventory. After I said that we were going on a ‘field trip’ on the Tapejara and flew him too the Spino- you could hear his face light up.

Now, Spinos LOVE big bodies of water with cliffs and one or two beaches, and the Tapejara can latch onto cliffs- so I latched us to a wall and we started firing. After a while it knocked and I spent the rest of my time hunting for prime as my friend admired the Spino- I put it in its inventory and it began to tame. When it woke he loved it- playing about, killing fish, grinning, all that kinda stuff. He still has the Spino now and loves it to death. I make sure it’s fed and he just kills stuff.

What too take from this:

•Spinos love big bodies of water with a few beaches and a lot of cliffs

•Tapejara are perfectly suited to taming Spinos as they can latch onto the cliffs to help you Tranq the Spino

•It took us 200-275 Tranqs for a mid-level: for a high or max level you need even more

•Bring taming food before hand- it took me 30 minutes of hunting then coming back to feed it narcotics again and again and again

•Bring narcotics- even if you don’t need them, just in case

-Two guns are better than one: it took the both of us shooting it to actually knock it within 20-30 minutes- either have some high level Tranq gear or bring more than one person to do the job

•My friend lost sight of the Spino at one point and almost ran off the cliff- LEARN FROM THIS: The over-eager will not think about consequences when making decisions: if you have a goofy tribe mate or someone who loves Spinos a lot consider: would they let their excitement get them and their tames killed? Although they might love the Dino, would it be safer to have them sit one out?

I hope my tale helped you- learn from my experiences

I used a high lvl Bred mutated spino to run through the valcano on Genesis. I had a 200+ saddle

The 10-column strategy doesn’t work; it runs away and you can’t shoot. RIP to my two pterosaurs that were following me when I fell off.

I’ve seen people say these are easier to tame than a Rex… forgive me for saying that is wrong. They do take less tranqs, but they run away way faster, and if doing it trapless, the Rex is way way easier to do, because they are so slow. Spinos also need a lot of narcotics or biotoxin, no matter what meat you feed them. Rexes don’t need any if you can keep them supplied with at least prime meat. Not to mention kibble😂 I hope this helped! It’s definitely not to be discouraging, and if using a trap and preparing plenty of narcs, the spino can be easier. Happy taming, everyone!

Male a trap out of 4 stone or metal dinosaur gateways and a Bear 🐻 trap

Don’t tame if your new to ark but kibble is the best thing to tame with

Make a 4 x 4 stone foundation with stone doorframes surrounding it three walls high. Next make a stone ramp up one side. Keep in mind I will likely not have enough foundation support. But a simple solution would be to replace the middle ramp with a ceiling and build stone pillars down. And finally if you’re not fast enough to outrun it. Agro it with an argie and lead it up the ramp and into the trap. Now that is trapped you can knock it out fairly easy with a dart rifle and tranquilizing darts.

When tamed, walk up to a fish filled lake and spam attack. Perfect for harvesting fish meat.

One time I was in my base making narcotics ... when I hear fight music start playing.... I look outside and the body of a level 34 spino was laying on the ground infront of me... my dinos killed it almost instantly.

Me and my alpha tribe have a breed army of these beast. They are better than a Rex for many reasons

1. They have a water buff like a crystal wyvern

2. They have two modes one let’s them go faster the other makes them do more damage

3. They are very fast in water and if imprinted they are very fast on land

Highly recommend

Cheesesy

Fırsat at least get a crossbow and narco arrows

Second get high ground or build a tower that is at least 9 walls tall

Third arrow it until it start to run away if its stuck you good but if it has free ground and runs aday start chasing it with a sarco

or any fast mount

Last Tamer it

First make sure u have a major soothing balm the feed it fish meat then boom u have a spino (tho mine died getting back home long story short never bring a spino with 870 Ho and no saddle into the ocean)

It make long taming process but it is very power full and speed also

Look, the spino, while stronger is dumber than a parasaur. All you need to do is place some stone walles that have time openings through which only u can fit thru put a ramp on the walls, make sure you have atleast 160 percent speed and lead it into the wall and just tranq it, I took down a level 180 by doing this with a bow.

Everything you should now about the spino

1. Taming. To tame a spino I would recommend getting a flying mount. Make a trap that allows you to fly through it and let's the spino get trapped. The just shoot with arrows or darts

2. Stats. The spinosaurus is a good all around tame thanks to its amazing speed on land and in water. And it being stronger than a rex. It is a really good mid-late game tame.

3. Stance. The spino has 2 different stances which allow for strategic battling. Bipedal mode is when the spino stands on 2 legs and does a slash attack with its arms which is its stronger attack. Quadropedal mode is when the spino stands on all four. Quad mode might have less attack strength but is much faster than the bipedal mode.

4. Buff. When the spino is halfway submerged in water, it gets a water buff which can help in fights.

P.S. don't let your spino attack jellyfish. It will die.

I was just doing my exploring with my raptor then I went back to my base there is a spino like twenty steps away from my hous and I have no idea what to do because the only things I have are low lvl with like 200 health so I’m probably gonna die a million times

I think spinos are better than rexes in every way

but one they lay superior eggs and rexes lay exceptional eggs.
