What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
I hate my life it take me 2 hours to tame this
If your bringing narcotics bring arond 52 just incase
If you don’t want to use trap the you will need very high speed,200%+ for me and barely chased it,DO NOT try tame one they were near Oscan,they will run to Oscan and never come back again
Somehow these break free from large bear traps in 3 seconds... oh no
Guys please read. You need ATLEAST 60 tranq arrows for a level 5 spino and have about 80 Narcotics on you. Trust me they are 1 of the hardest tame. Also bring a creature with you, they are super fast. Bring a strong creature, the Spinosaurus is near swamps and these are the creatures they are close to that are dangerous.: Trex, Spinosaurus, Therizino, Alpha raptors and also Carno’s so please be careful.
So for a good tip is you should make a big base trap for the spoon and sometimes its fin is in the way so then you should use either darts or toxics arrows which work more efficiently and use fish meat and lots of narcotics or stuff like that :)
If you are a noob and want to kill a spino place down a wooden spike wall and lure it in and it should die easily (Keep in mind that this only works on lv 1-40 spinos).
How to tame:
(IMPORTANT: HAVE MAJOR SOOTHING BALM ON HAND OR THE TAMING PROCESS WILL BE SLOW.)
Instructions: Find a Spino, and then request your tamed creature who can deal the highest damage of all your tamed creatures. Also request your Mesopithecus if it is not with you already. Have your Meso riding your shoulder, and get on the creature you have requested. (Recommended to use Gigantopithecus or Therizinosaurus) Run at the Spino and attack it until it is at half health, at which point it will get scared and attempt to flee to preserve itself. Tell your mount to stop, set it to passive, and make it ignore whistles. Whistle your Meso to target the Spino so that it throws poop at it which slows the Spino down on hit. Shoot it with tranqs until it is knocked out cold. Once neutralized, give it fish meat, and major soothing balm. You should only need to give it a few helpings of bio-toxin. Hope it helps.
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
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.
