Tips & Strategies

How to Tame the Spinosaur on Mobile:
The Spino you want to tame must be between levels 1 - 150.
1 - 2 Argentavis Kibble (1 Argy Egg, 1 Citronal, 1 Prime Meat Jerky, 2 Mejoberries, 3 Fiber, 1 Water)
1 Soothing Balm (Normal)
3 x 3 Trap
20 - 30 Tranq Darts
How to get Argentavis Kibble and Soothing Balm:
To get Argentavis Kibble, you need an egg. Luckily, at this point of the game, you should have a lot of Argentavis. If you donβt have them, search the mountains. The egg is fairly common. For soothing balm, farm The Cave in The South.
How to trap:
You may have a prebuilt taming pen. If not, build one, preferably out of stone although it is expensive. Make sure the trap is 3 x 3 and you have your dinos away from it. Use a flyer to lead it in, preferably the Quetzal or the Pteranodon. The Quetzal can tank hits and can almost out-fly a Spino, and the Pteranodon is just too fast for it.
How to knockout:
Have your dinos away, then shoot it. Make sure the next shot wonβt be delayed for long.
How to tame:
Get your balm and kibble and tame it. Self-explanatory.
Hit the arrow pointing to the sky if this helped with taming!

Planning to tame a lvl 280 of this wish me luck
Hey planning on taming one of these guys or a rex what should I tame?? Up for spino down for rex
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!
PREVIOUS TIP: How to tame a Baryonyx
-Your average ARK Mobile player ;)
Bruh, people just making this thing hard. The tip to tame a spinosaurus is just going for him riding a carbonemys (it will need lots of health, I think 2000 is enough) while having a crossbow or bow with tranqs. Just shoot him repeatedly as he will hit your carbonemys instead of you, and when he starts to run away, get out of the carbonemys and keep shooting and chasing him until he gets knocked. Then feed him lots of meat and use lots of narcotics (biotoxins better). Thx for reading and hope it helps ^_^
Why tame either a Rex or Spinoβ¦ when you can take both? π
Guys!!!! Donβt compare the Rex and the Spino! Both are good at what they are. Spino is a glass cannon and gets a major buff in water. It has high speed, damage, range and knockback. Use this against small enemies to medium-large enemies to ultra decimate them! Even more when in water!!! Itβs damage is what carries it. Rex is a tank that is used against bigger enemies. It has ultra health, high damage (but less than Spino), moderate speed, moderate range and has a ability to stun creatures and make them defecate! Use against small enemies for major advantage, as well as big enemies too! It does good at both tanking and damage, so itβs rounded up unlike the Spino. When comparing each other, none are better than the other. They are both very good at what they do!
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
If you hear your mobile ring and you misplaced it.. run like hell because a spino is staring down at you.. right now..
Dont do what I did, ALWAYS BRING A LOTTA NARCOTICS. I was taming one and only had like 13 narcotics. To make a long story short, I woke up and I had to fly away on mt pteradon. Up if this helped
I constructed a 3x3x3 stone doorway trap with wooden ramps to give him something to whack at while I pumped him full of tranqs.
