Tips & Strategies
Up for all noobs that wants a Spino to see!
When I tamed my first Spino, I was only lv 39!
Here’s some tips. They’re mostly found in the southeast shores, and the southern islets. However, they can sometimes spawn IN THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS! To knock out a Spino, I didn’t use trap method. I just ran up a cliff and tranq it out. However, the cliff taming method is hard, as the Spino has torpor run. Be sure to have tons of narcotics and bio toxin, as their torpor drops fast. DO NOT USE NARCOBERRIES! NARCOBERRIES CAN ONLY BE FED ONCE EVERYTIME THE SPINO EATS A MEAT, MAKING IT EXTREMELY EASY TO WAKE UP!
Heres the tools you need:
Do the hunt dilophosaur quest and get a good bow (otherwise use crossbow)
Craft about 100 tranqs (if the level is high craft way more than THAT.)
Medical brews/cooked meat if you need to Regen
A Dino that is fast. I use Sarcos as they’re tanky, fast in water, and can take out annoying aggressive small creatures instantly. I also recommend Gallimimus (not used for engage in battle!), and other fast creatures. The most common method I use is to go right in front of the Spino, and tranq it on my sarco. When my sarco is low, I’ll just hop into the water and continue to tranq it. This way, it’s easy, and when you need to chase it during torpor run, you can just hop right off and chase it. Use fish meat! There are so many rivers nearby! You can also use prime fish meat (if you have sickle), as the local population of salmons are plentiful. Up if you think this is helpful!
More Spinosaurus Encountering Tips
If you are having a hard time finding spino's in their respective spawn zones (especially Ragnarok), kill all the fish in that area. They share the same spawn capacity and can be out spawned by coles!
“South Zone 1 is the safest area!”
The humble Spinosaurus:
They said the beaches were safe. The things I’ve seen on beaches would scare many men
They can’t destroy stone structures, but they can hit you from the other side. Up so noobs can see
Once I was just chillin at my base with my 4 trikes, 2 raptors and 1 bronto them this spino walks up to my base wrecks my house and kills my tames I barely get away on my raptor. THIS BEAST PLAYED VOLLEYBALL WITH MY BRONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tamed one now I have a big base lots of tames and my spino is the same one that ruined my base all that time ago. (Ironic right?)
They are super strong in spider boss fight because the spider fight has water that give spino super high buff to kill her
Don’t mess with this unless you gonna tame it, it has high damage enough speed so you don’t get away and in the worst case a waterbuff
Which makes him do more damage and he never runs out of stamina cuz it recovers faster than it consumes it with waterbuff
If you see a weird coloured sail in the water, run...
Scream ERIIIIIC!!! They'll come running like a Rex to a diplodocus
Once tried to tame one for my bf while he was offline bc he wanted one. Flew with my Pterra and shot it full of 20!!!!! tranq arrows . Didn’t even flinch. I got too cocky and went too close to the edge of the cliff i was standing on. I fell off RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SPINO. it’s health was low enough that it started to run away. Without looking back, i whistled for my Pterra to follow and ran for my life. currently trying to get another one :( wish me luck!
