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.

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)

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.

I’ve seen people say these are easier to tame than a Rex… forgive me for saying that is wrong. They do take less tranqs, but they run away way faster, and if doing it trapless, the Rex is way way easier to do, because they are so slow. Spinos also need a lot of narcotics or biotoxin, no matter what meat you feed them. Rexes don’t need any if you can keep them supplied with at least prime meat. Not to mention kibble😂 I hope this helped! It’s definitely not to be discouraging, and if using a trap and preparing plenty of narcs, the spino can be easier. Happy taming, everyone!

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)

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! ^^
