Tips & Strategies

What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You can take them like this
Place a few large bear traps. Have it chase you into the traps. Once caught shoot it with tranq arrows. BRING A LOT OF NARCOTICS.
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.
Go to the river that's in the south then on your boat shoot it sail away then repeat. Knocked out a decent level by doing that.
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.
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.
Best way to tame one of these spinos is...
1.get to a mountain high enough to prevent the spino mauling you.
2.bring around 100 trank arrows and go ham.
3. When the spino starts running chase that mf down and hope it gets into a corner and hope it’s not it self trying to reposition it self
4.when knocked out feed a whole ton of meat bring hundreds of narcos biotoxin works very well (doesn’t decrease the knocked out dinos health)
5.when tamed after 30 mins enjoy the mayhem you can cause across the map

Find one by itself, they’re wether in dangerous area’s or next to dangerous dinos, shoot from a high place, they run quick and it’s too risky to shoot from ground, these ARE NOT like rexes, they’re better and arguably scarier. I reccomend a flier mount with lots of weight, but if you don’t like mounts then… put stone BEHEMOTH gateways, NOT doors, at least 3-4. Then add 2 NORMAL sized dino gateways, or do extra behemoth gateways with doors on each end, bring the spino in through one without a normal gateway into a normal one, then try to distract it on the side with the normal gateway then place the second one behind it. You then have it trapped and know you can knock it out! I also recommend bio toxin seeing that’s easier to get and narcotics take a while longer. Enjoy your spino!
They need a lot of narcotics
Tame a low level on ark mobile
The Spino is really good at swimming and watching the spino is not always a good thing all because I was being attached want he get out of the water so to escape (in my ways) I was in my house and I siffle to attack I got 10 raptors at lvl 200 and one ArgentAvis and one Pelagornis but the best ways to escape is to attack or use a flying creature and fly away, I hoe that worked, so if you don’t have flying creatures…. Then take ur raptors and try to tame or attack the Spino before he will kill you..OvO
All I did to tame one was grab like 20 trank arrows and find a cliff with my flying mount and lure it there, so easy to tame, also makes it easier when you get a 10x soothing balme for free
If you are in Valguero, Spinos are hard to find. Well, for me at least. But there are many in the Aberration cave! And they are prettier. And also higher level, in my experience. So go down there and get yourself a Spino+
Spinos are pretty awesome Dino’s, I would recommend a baryonux over them if you’re looking for an aquatic mount, because spinos have the turning radius of a bus underwater, but on land it’s a different story. Spinos can switch between a fighting and traveling mode traveling is on their arms and legs and fighting is standing on their legs, on 4 legs they are very quick and go with a standard bite that does decent damage, on 2 legs, while slower they will shred just about anything, they do massive damage with their claws and have a huge knock back when they smack even very large creatures, and if they touch water their movement speed and damage are both given a huge buff for a short while, all in all an amazing traveling mount and an equally awesome fighter,
Get some prime meat, shoot this thing with shocking tranqs from a cliff or flying platform saddle or sm, wait till it’s knocked, make sure there is nobody nearby, give it the prime, put some biotoxin in (for if it’s torp gets low) and defend it. Once it’s tamed, throw the saddle on it, and just make sure that ur near a water source for its buff. Great battle creature, definitely recommend for mid-early tame
These things are hard to tame. I just can’t keep them asleep long enough to eat the meat
