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)

However much narcotic you plan on bringing, bring more. I'm talking like 400 - 500 narcotic if you're taming with prime meat. These guys' torpor goes down almost as fast as a beavers, so be prepared!

Rexes Are highly utile they can gather alot,Have high weight,They are better for tanking with a decent dps

Spinos are highly mobile they can swing,Run fast and a good amount of stam,That are better for dps with a decent hp

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

1 stack of raw meat lasts 30min on babies

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...

I tamed him with narcotic it took about 10-17 it was not so hard to tame but knocking it was the hard part for me

Can't outrun them, but if u need them to leave you alone run around other dinos. They get distracted super easy. To tame just aggro them into a behemoth trap and fly argy out top. Close gate. Tranq away. Boost their health once tamed.

Faster then you think in the water can be faster then scrcos

One question what’s the best place to find them?

Overall great tame definitely tame

I hate my life it take me 2 hours to tame this

If your bringing narcotics bring arond 52 just incase

I recommend going for a female first. For eggs, they give good nutritions. I should know. I stole one that a Spino laid after it killed my Carno. Then get a male, and make a Spino ARMY TO TAKE DOWN THOSE PESKY COMPIES.

OK here’s a good tip do the hunt piranhas and get soothing balm and find one of these knock it out put fish meat and there you go.

I wish spino's had tek saddle. In my opinion, a spino tek saddle would look pretty neat.
