What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Once I tamed a sarco then a green spoon killed once I tamed I hate it it was so scared when I smacked him tons of times with a metal pick lol
These guys spawn at a low day at drayos cove Southeast corner of the map 👍 so people can see this!
The spinosaurus is a piscivore, meaning it eats primarily fish (not pie..), and to tame it, it prefers fish meat and prime fish meat over regular meat. The Spinosaurus is able to change how it stands, going from four feet to being bipedal. Whilst it is bipedal, it is slightly slower, but attacks in an area around it, attacks slightly faster, and may do slightly more damage. Whilst on four feet, it is much, much faster, faster than nearly anything else, but has less of an attack range and area. When in water, it will gain a “Hydration Buff Enabled” buff, which will last for a good thirty seconds out of water. This buff drastically increases its movement speed, at least by fifty percent, making it even faster than a gallimimus whilst on four legs, and increasing its attack power. It attacks at a decently fast speed, and its swipe attacks have a large area further than its arms, along with applying a large deal of knockback to anything in the range. It has high health, weight, and oxygen, but its stamina drains quickly when running whilst not affected by the Hydration Buff, so you should mind your stamina and your sprinting, so that you don’t get exhausted. For the cementing paste, especially with mastercraft and journeyman recipes, with my journeyman spino saddle’s blueprint cementing paste cost of 297, I would suggest first getting a high-tier axe or hatchet, possibly mastercraft, and also a primitive crossbow, a simply shotgun, and ammo for both, and head to the Artifact of the Massive’s cave, the lava cave on the Eastern edge of Drayo’s Cove, and use the crossbow at a far distance to ago Pulminoscorpius and Araneo to you, and kill them with the shotgun, and harvest their chitin with a hatchet to make cementing paste. Spinosaurus can be found near the river next to the Hidden Lake in the Northern regions, nearby the Redwoods. I found two females there yesterday, and they seemed to have no threats to themselves in the near area. They can be knocked out with tranq arrows, as I did with mine, and can hold their own in battle. Either way, I hope that this has helped. From.: OMEGA, Hunter of Shadows..
Spinosaurus is the coolest and one of the most powerful creatures on the arks. Quite easy to tame, but you have to watch out for its torpor, which runs down pretty fast. They have 2 modes, two legged, which allows them to deal more damage, but move slower, and there is four legged mode, which makes it move faster, but deals less damage. It also has water buffs, making it amazing. You need to tame this!
These things are found near rivers. Stay away from the river, like far away, and don’t attack it. It should leave you alone. If this does not work, click the ⬇️
So when I was walking around my tamed Stegosaurus, he got attacked by a Spinosaurus. R.I.P. for Stegosaurus😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Luckly, my other Stegosaurus killed the Spino:)
New players might underestimate this dino once they see them fighting in wild... They cant turn around so fast.. even after tamed if they are following you they behave like stupid... But once you put the saddle on he is all in your control.. he spins around way fast... Just like other small dinos! I am happy to get this beast in my list
People stop saying their unless here’s the reasons
1.they do not roar before they fight
2.spinos have fast claw attacks but deal a lot of damage
3.they have a water buff like the tropical wyvern double dmg regeneration hp and etc.
4.have can swim fast than a rex
5.they can get prime meat and prime fish meat better
6.these boi’s are deadly when you have a lot of them
Forget traps I have tamed 2 with a cliff. Get on top snipe with crossbow and stone arwow then move to tranq arows and boom he is down
If you play on mobile just use soothing balm and you won’t need any narcotics / bio toxins
Extremely easy tame (for low levels)
Saw a lvl 10 near my base whilst travelling with my raptor to go sarco hunting. It was fighting an iguanodon and didn’t notice me. I decided to try shooting it with tranq arrows, not expecting it to pass out second arrow. 10x soothing balm, only took 2 pieces of prime meat. And now I have a lvl 10 spino. Only 50 more levels for its saddle.
(Don’t waste your time planning traps, just shoot and run)
The best tame Under level 80 for mobile! Its Hand/paw/Idk attack at two feet stance makes it unbelievably powerful since its knock back renders even alpha rex/raptors useless since they dont get a chance to attack! Plus its amphibious!
I play solo easy (new to ark) and I tamed a level 95 (170 after tamed) and it killed just killed an alpha raptor level 50 easy with no hp loss! Tame one as soon as u reach level 71!!!
These spawn loads in the canyon area on ragnorok
Spinos are a pain to deal with if you are just starting out. My advice is run for the hills.
Little known fact their swipe attack on 2 legs is ever so slightly weaker than a Rex's bite but is also way faster than a rex bite and if in water is ridiculously faster than a rex bite. Add in the fact that they're twice as easy to tame as a rex as long as ya have the narcotic grab some raw fish it's the easiest thing to get other than berries and grab yourself the highest level you can itll be well worth it I promise I have loved every spino I've ever had, everyone who's had one that I know of love them
210 movement speed won’t save you. Oh you have to swim? ...lol...
