More Spinosaurus Encountering Tips
If you are having a hard time finding spino's in their respective spawn zones (especially Ragnarok), kill all the fish in that area. They share the same spawn capacity and can be out spawned by coles!
They said the beaches were safe. The things I’ve seen on beaches would scare many men
First of all: Get your strongest unit and head to a Spino. Second of all: When you see your creature getting more bloody than the Spino, Distract the Spino, Go to your base & get your army prepared, once the Spino comes whistle at the Spino & fight, helping your units is a great solution if you start losing whistle all your guys and run away with the guys. Find a powerful unit your 100% confident you can take down, feed it while it’s unconscious, head back to the Spino then send your overpowered army to it use all your strength to rather tame it or kill it.
Once I was just chillin at my base with my 4 trikes, 2 raptors and 1 bronto them this spino walks up to my base wrecks my house and kills my tames I barely get away on my raptor. THIS BEAST PLAYED VOLLEYBALL WITH MY BRONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tamed one now I have a big base lots of tames and my spino is the same one that ruined my base all that time ago. (Ironic right?)
Don’t mess with this unless you gonna tame it, it has high damage enough speed so you don’t get away and in the worst case a waterbuff
Which makes him do more damage and he never runs out of stamina cuz it recovers faster than it consumes it with waterbuff
Okay, so, I know there’s this thing about how rexes are better than spinos and vice versa, but the spino is superior. It’s faster, stamina lasts longer, and its dps is insane. Not to mention that it has a hydration buff that makes it even more powerful. They’re loose cannons, which is why they die in the wild a lot: they kill EVERYTHING in sight and then they get killed due to the enormous amount of angry dinos chasing them(the spino is faster, but it usually gets cornered against a cliff). They also have two speeds that each come with their own attack… that’s pretty rad. Literally the only downside is their hp. Just upgrade hp to a safe level. Against the Rex, their damage output is way higher. The only thing they don’t match is hit points, but like I said just upgrade hp if it’s a tame, and you have a vicious killing machine. These are a must tame .Hope you enjoyed, even if it was long.😂
Beware at least one spino ALWAYS spawns dangerously close if you pick south zone 3
As a beginner they’re your worst nightmare they will destroy your base and all your tames BUT as a tame your everyone else’s worst nightmare
Love these things so much. I swear they WANT carnage, and it’s terrible when that is used against you, but I love having that for myself. While having a much smaller aggro range than most larger carnivores, it is FAR more vicious. In the wild, I’ve seen them take on rexes, trios of trikes, and I even saw one kill two brontos in a row(a theri ended up damaging it so much it ran away, but still…).
I know the roar is useless, but I’d even go so far to say it sounds way cooler than the rex’s. I had a high level spino named Mom, and I would put her on aggressive because it amused me to see “your Mom killed a rex and/or triceratops, bronto, raptor, etc.” I like that they’re overpowered. DONT nerf them. Ever. Please. Thanks for reading!
If you see a weird coloured sail in the water, run...
