I have a Fem Spino, she's level 63 rn, one time when she was level 4 there was 1 Theri level 52 attacking my house, I said "NOT MY OTTER" cuz I left him on my house, so i was riding my Spino named Beast and the anger made me and Beast stronger cuz we killed the Theri easily, one up one respect for Beast

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!

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.

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

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.
