Tips & Strategies

This is especially for new players. They will seem pretty quiet if they are far from the water, but if you see one next to or in the water, don’t try to pet it. They are VERY fast, especially in the water and they do A LOT of damages. I mean if you want you can try but then I hope you had a good life. If one is curious and come visit your base, if it is protected with even wooden spikes, it should be not a real problem ( except if you’re unlucky and it’s a high level one ). But don’t let your tames aggro it bcs they will probably die ( especially new player tames, who has low or mid health ). I mean everything under 400hp will probably die. Above 400hp it is pretty safe but yeah, don’t play with fire. If your base is not protected, well then you’re coocked and it’s time to build a new protected base.
More Spinosaurus Encountering Tips
If you are having a hard time finding spino's in their respective spawn zones (especially Ragnarok), kill all the fish in that area. They share the same spawn capacity and can be out spawned by coles!
“South Zone 1 is the safest area!”
The humble Spinosaurus:
They said the beaches were safe. The things I’ve seen on beaches would scare many men
Once I was just chillin at my base with my 4 trikes, 2 raptors and 1 bronto them this spino walks up to my base wrecks my house and kills my tames I barely get away on my raptor. THIS BEAST PLAYED VOLLEYBALL WITH MY BRONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tamed one now I have a big base lots of tames and my spino is the same one that ruined my base all that time ago. (Ironic right?)
They can’t destroy stone structures, but they can hit you from the other side. Up so noobs can see
They are super strong in spider boss fight because the spider fight has water that give spino super high buff to kill her
Don’t mess with this unless you gonna tame it, it has high damage enough speed so you don’t get away and in the worst case a waterbuff
Which makes him do more damage and he never runs out of stamina cuz it recovers faster than it consumes it with waterbuff
If you see a weird coloured sail in the water, run...
Scream ERIIIIIC!!! They'll come running like a Rex to a diplodocus
Once tried to tame one for my bf while he was offline bc he wanted one. Flew with my Pterra and shot it full of 20!!!!! tranq arrows . Didn’t even flinch. I got too cocky and went too close to the edge of the cliff i was standing on. I fell off RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SPINO. it’s health was low enough that it started to run away. Without looking back, i whistled for my Pterra to follow and ran for my life. currently trying to get another one :( wish me luck!
