What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
When Tamed they are like the iguanodons big brother which u can use 2 legs (slower but stronger) or 4 legs (Faster but weaker) and oh boi this guy is good in the swamps since titanoboas,barys,sarcos and kapro something will not agro to you if are only riding the spino and one more thing,this bad boy can get a lot of prime meat all you need to do is go to the swamp find a paracetheium or a lot of titanoboas and just go to 2 legs mode and kill all of them to get frickin 100 in 32 mins in my experience and basically it has a buff where if it's in a body of water (rain doesn't work)it's gets super strong that's why they bad boi can supply u some prime meat but it is bad on land (not on shores)
Looking to tame one? Head to aberration or the ab cave on Valguero. Aberrant Spinos are everywhere in there, and they’re always very nice to look at because of that glow
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!!
So, I live in the footpaw, which is supposed to be relatively safe if I'm correct. (I haven't actually seen any of the other spawnable areas :/ ) And for some reason these are spawning left and right, figuratively and literally. I managed to tame one, but I almost died. Anyway I heard they're great for getting prime fish meat.

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!!😎).
It make long taming process but it is very power full and speed also
Look, the spino, while stronger is dumber than a parasaur. All you need to do is place some stone walles that have time openings through which only u can fit thru put a ramp on the walls, make sure you have atleast 160 percent speed and lead it into the wall and just tranq it, I took down a level 180 by doing this with a bow.
For noobs just get to high ground and spam tranq arrows with a bow recommendation-acendant and make sure you have sooving balm x10-15 done and then make sure you have a pertodon.
And congratulations you have a spino (but to bad you don't have a saddle unless you got it from a advent)

I tamed this guy using tranq arrows and bio toxins. If you use narcotics you must also have to you prime meat or smoothing balm but with bio toxins you can you fish meat and raw meat. About 35 bio toxins should be a enough
Where he's found? He would be found at shores (INLAND WATERS most commonly)
•You should have a crossbow or a high lvl bow with tranq arrows. ALSO A HELLA NARCOTICS, since its got High Torpor Drain.
•Make 7 wooden Dino Gates before going to tame him, carry it with you.
•Before going to attack him clear the area of any obstacles such as rocks,trees etc. coz our spino boy shows crazy psycho movements . Once you clear the area you're gonna place 6 dino gates with little spaces between them(place them kind of circular). The last dino gate will be placed after luring him inside.
•Go provoke him somehow, lure him into the gates. He'll try to eat you and prolly you'll lose health coz his head comes outta the gate and bites ya. Now go place the 7th gate fast and voila!!! He's caged in. Slightly move away from the gates and aim the tranq arrows at his head and shoot. After he's knocked feed him preferred Raw Prime meat or Kibble.Also put a lotta narcotics into his inventory.
You could also give him the normal Raw meat[ IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU HAVE A SOOTHING BALM.i got a normal one when i finished a mission(sry i don't remember which) YOU CAN BUY SUPER SOOTHING BALM AS WELL AS MINOR SOOTHING BALM from the store if you have a couple of amber]
--You can check out his lvl and health by using a spyglass
This worked for me.
UP THIS If this tip worked for you guys.
All I did to tame mine was:
Get my sarco boi
Get narco, meat and tranqs
Find spiney boi and take them to a river
Swim around in circles on your sarco
When you are far away, shoot them with tranqs
Repeat until their knocked out,
Feed them food and use your sarco to fight off any dinos
Then go back home
You need a high level sarco bc mine 44 and can kill Anything ;-;
Hope this helps! ^^
WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED ITS TORPOR DRAIN IS MONSTROUS I LOOKED AWAY FOR A SECOND AND MORE THAN 1/4 WAS GONE I HAD TO FEED IT LIKE 60 BIOTOXIN
I nearly died to one of these but the fish killed me instead
Use soothing balm and put fish meat in its inventory
