Tips & Strategies

Taming a spino is surprisingly easy! In my world I am around level 55. I just tamed one of these beasts to have so protection from big creatures if needed because I want to adventure away from home farther. I found my spino in a river in south zone 2 or. All I did was have a bunch of tranq arrows (31) and I went up on a cliff and shot down at it. This worked pretty well just make sure the bottom of the cliff is land not water. Then you can tranq it out until unconscious. Then make sure to put raw fish meat in its inventory (raw meat goes three times slower). And after that itβs actually a pretty quick tame! I have a level 2 so it was easier to tranq out but I will level him up until I can get the saddle at level 71!
Hope this helps- beginner ark player

So hi I and today I'm gonna teach u how to tame a spino
You will need-
A crossbow
Trang arrows (at least 28)
A lot of raw meat (46)
Or raw fish meat (20)
Or prime meat or mutton
Fish meat is best though
Bio toxin or narcs
Now to tame it get on a cliff and take out your crossbow
Start shooting it it will aggro after some 8 arrows it will start fleeing chase it and knock it
EZ
Now I just give it meat or fish meat and toxin or narcs
You have a spino
Hi I'm Tiger my last tip was on the raptor
Want to tame a super dimetrodon? Read on! Before we get to it, you're gonna want to prepare these things:
DIFFICULTY:
5/ 10: Intermediate
WHAT YOU WILL WANT:
-Taming weapon and ammo (Bow (Tranq arrows), Crossbow (Tranq arrows), Longneck rifle (Tranq/ Shocking tranq darts)
-Taming food (Meat (I prefer raw over fish) / Mutton, Kibble)
-Biotoxin/ Narcotics
Now that you have what you need, let's get taming!
For this dino, there are 2 methods (Honest). Here they are:
METHOD 1: The Trap
The usual. 2x2 stone trap (4 stone floors, 16 stone walls and 4-6 ramps), cost efficient and simple. Lead the spino into the trap and tranq it down. When taming, make sure to watch its torpor as it drains quite fast!
METHOD 2: Trapless
Very easy to perform. Find a spino and tranq it down, and chase it when it runs (Do note the spino is EXTREMELY fast). Also clear the area of nasties (I lost my spino to a Therizino), they like to aggro on everything. Now repeat the taming process and welcome your new spino to your family!
Now, onto the features of the Spino:
UTILITIES:
Spinos are glass cannons, typically having lesser health but more damage than a Rex. They have 2 stances -- The 4-legged and 2-legged stances. The 4-legged stance has a high attack rate but lesser damage, and vice versa for the 2-legged stance. They also have a Hydrophobic Boost, which boosts their stats when they enter a body of water. This increases their movement speed, damage and damage resistance.
That's pretty much it for the Spino! Thanks for your time and check out my other tips!

-Your average ARK Mobile player ;)
Why tame either a Rex or Spinoβ¦ when you can take both? π
Please please please just use a trap! These things are surprisingly fast, have high torpor drain, and aggro on everything under the sun! Once they start running, you'll probably never find them again, especially if they run into a thick forest. The trap makes things so much simpler.
A good way to get it unconscious without a flying dinosaur is by making 10 stone pillars, 10 wooden ladders then climbing up the pillars and shoot it with tranq darts or arrows, it can't break stone fast so ur safe. Pls don't use less than 10 pillars, I tried and I got pushed of the pillar and just died:( Sorry for my bad English. Hope this helped
If you hear your mobile ring and you misplaced it.. run like hell because a spino is staring down at you.. right now..
Dont do what I did, ALWAYS BRING A LOTTA NARCOTICS. I was taming one and only had like 13 narcotics. To make a long story short, I woke up and I had to fly away on mt pteradon. Up if this helped
Lookin to tame a land and water behemoth! Ok but first you need this stuff
Tranq arrows tranq darts whatβre you prefer
If you want to tame a high level use a trap to make sure it does not run
Give it prime fish you can get it from using a sickle on a sabertooth salmon
Feed it naracotics every now and then
And you now own the behemoth of the beaches
*extra tip* if you want to level it up quick go to rivers and slap a bunch of fish till you level up a lot
Their babies are insanely strong. I breeded my lv 40 and the baby was even stronger then both of them combined! I definitely recommend breeding these guys. Also. Now I can take on that stupid alpha Rex. Donβt worry. I fully imprinted this little guy just like all my other ones. Every one βοΈ is one strength for my baby spino
I just knocked out a 140 spino
It's terrifying
