Tips & Strategies

What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
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)
Large Bear Trap > Lead it in to it > Tranq Darts (not arrows) > EZ Game, EZ Lyfe. Also, sooi worth getting prime fish meat to tame it. Trust. Me.
Spinos are way faster since the TLC 2 patch, so if you are shooting it from a cliff they are a pain to hit and when they run away it is almost impossible to keep up. If you ko it, try to do it by the ocean and have a water mount with you so you can get biotoxin from jellyfish because it is the best option considering how fast the torpor will drain.
They spawn at beach
Chain bola then club it
If your looking for one on ragnarok there is a canyon near the jungle part of the area and down there is lots of water and spino’s are everywhere where so be carful and they spawn around water that is more water then land around, I would recommend to lead it farther into the land because when u hit it it will run into water and pass out there and lots of them does not have enough oxygen to take in the water.
To tame make a 2x2 and put door frames around and ramps to go in lead the spoon in get out shoot it
(Make of stone)
Use a trang arrows with a cross bow and when is is sleepin g put a lot of fish meat and row meat and prime meat to tame it and go to sleep 2 thats how I tamed my spin up if this helped?
In my opinion, you look cooler on a Rex’s back, but Spinos are more powerful.
If you're looking for an hybrid between a barionix, 1 Thery and rex, get the spino
Has really good stats (except health, maybe)
has huge claws at both front paws (and he knows how to use them 😅😅)
And swim extremely fast
Only downside, compared to theri, doesn't farm anything from bushes & trees
Yes, the dpino is extremely overpowered 🤣😂
Usually, only under ai control can the Spino use its claw attack while swimming underwater while the rider can't. You can cheat this by dismounting your Spino and letting it get attacked by an agressive sea creature like a megalodon and the moment you hear the hurt sound, mount the Spino. This allows you to use the claw attacks with the ability to turn on the spot along with a much improved rise/descend speed while swimming turning the dino into a force to be reckoned with. I don't know if this works on PC but it allowed me to kill an Alpha Mosaurus.
The Spino will go back to its default bite attack if it fully surfaces, instead let the Spino lightly "bump" against the water surface in order to let it breathe without going back to its bite attack.
I hope this helps!
One word they are op I tamed one before and I could one shot basically anything.
These bois are op and usefull, many of them can prob beat the brood mother! But to tame them.. is hard, you need 300 or 400 narcotics if needed and especially bio toxins since they are usefull i tried giving that spino 1 narcotic then i saw it slowly rising up like it gives 300 torpor slowly the last time i tried taming a spino i saw it woke up staring at me but it dint charged since i was far- so dont do the same and give them prime meat or prime fish meat (up if you want to share this to ur beginner freinds)

Ok but why is this guy's torpor drain not considered extremely high? MAX LEVEL TORPOR IS DRAINED IN UNDER 30 MINUTES!!! If you think so too, then you know what to do, the color green should appear in your eye, when you tap the arrow pointing to the sky. I hope all the survivors pillows are cool on both sides the next time they sleep.
