Spinosaurus is not only my favorite animal in real life but it is my favorite creature in Ark. I think Scorched Earth is the worst map because it’s the only map without these. In Aberration they spawn in every region except the surface.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

To level your spino fast, make sure it is very strong, swim to carno island, then kill everything.

Ok they are not able to tame on my ark because they have 1 hp

Bring it to swamps: big alligator eat small alligator

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

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

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 ☠️

Is it a door bell? Is it a Spino? No it’s 17 missed phone calls from mum

Start digging your grave

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
