In my opinion it is better than a Rex, it get hydro buff and can swim. Also is probably faster idk for sure. Also just overall looks cooler

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)

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!

Overall great tame definitely tame

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

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 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.

Look around the rivers I found 2 AGRREIESVE as f spinos both male one 95 other a 145 on medium wild

Gg to us I guess

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

Build a small stone room of stone with a reinforced door so it can't get in and make some openings in it so you can tranq it out from inside and stay untouched. Once knocked out use fish meat or kibble, if not just use meat but don't cook anything because it takes longer, uses more, and reduces effectiveness.

When knocking them out, u just need to sit on a small ledge that they cant climb and shoot them and once u do that, put raw meat and bio toxins. Why bio toxins? Becuase u can force feed them toxinsto keep em knocked out. Ps, i dont know if u can force feed on pc or console. (Im a mobile player)

I too found a 140 but female spine in penguin pond as well. Was stuck in cavern.

Cheesesy

Fırsat at least get a crossbow and narco arrows

Second get high ground or build a tower that is at least 9 walls tall

Third arrow it until it start to run away if its stuck you good but if it has free ground and runs aday start chasing it with a sarco

or any fast mount

Last Tamer it

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