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

I have about 9 or 10 of these bad boys. I started with 2 and breed them now I have unstoppable war party. I was killed a yuti and his carno posse rolled up with my war party and it was over in seconds.

There is one right outside of my house. He destroyed my bed. Now I lost everything.

A great way to tame these early if you have a megalodon is to get the trap you have chosen and load it into the megalodon(you may need to upgrade weight some) then get the trap set up and take your megalodon and get some prime fish meat. Where nice you have done this keep the meat in your megalodon because it lasts longer in tames. Then trap the spino and knock it out and feed it the prime fish meat. I would encourage the use of prime fish meat to normal prime meat because it is slightly more and effective ad with the proper setup easier to get.

If you think a hundred narcotics are enough to tame this thing, you are sorely mistaken

Always have higround on him on him when you are shooting trancets

I recommend using a longneck rifle with tranqdarts. Headshots do more physical damage and less torpor. Aim for the sail and the neck. Use argent kibble. Second prime fish, third mutton. When tamed, use a quetzal with a platform saddle to transport it to base.

Get on your gali and have someone in the back seat shoot at the spino.

If you need bodyguards while moving things across the ocean these with melee and some weight could make the whole process safer for a single person or really small tribes

I'm a average ark player but I just used 4 stone gateways and that's it I tried doing it on a cliff but it was to fast to try run and tranq so the trap is definitely easier but I do play single player with settings boosted a little so I don't know how hard stone gateways are to get normally.

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.

-Randomly Good Ark Player

I think spinos are better than rexes in every way

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

Wild Spinos love Raw Prime Fish Meat so much they eat one per 25 hunger instead of 50 when taming!

Trap the spino by making cage i don't know how to build it but see on youtube he it in the cage and then sleep and then tranq it it's food level will be 0

Trapping it with bear traps or a trap that holds it forever is essential bc when these guys are about to go down they run like hell, and fast.

kibble takes more time to tame then prime fish meat?

Get a flyer and get the spino argro, land on a cliff and shoot it with tranqs when it runs away chase it on ur flyer get near it and land then shoot it again repeat if needed!!

I tamed a lvl 55 on Valguero. Took about 30-40 Darts and 20 Arrows.

Spine taming is very easy. Just shoot it in the face like it killed your family and keep running for a few seconds. Then repeat. Worked for me.(Btw, I also got one by tricking my friend! I simply lured him to a spino, bola to the feet and used him as man-bait!!😎).
