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,

So its massive and intimidating but not that hard to tame. I have customised my settings abit cus I'm only solo player so my strategy may vary in effectiveness

I was in gloom grove- lost island, there was a waterfall and a hill too steep so he had nowhere to run either side; i took just under 150 tranq arrows and my journeyman crossbow, 163% dmg and 215 durab, I had around 70 trans left afterwards cus I missed afew shots

what I did was fly up to top of valley and build a foundation and catwalk to look out to shoot safely untill he was running then I parachuted down and chased him on my megalocerops (stag) cus hes fast, knocked him, killed any dangers and waited to tame, he was lvl 150 and I used 6 prime meat,

now i use him primarily to get Pearl's and oil from leeches right next to my cliff base, might not be 'the most efficient' to gather them to the pros out there but it's an easy 500 Pearl's and 2k oil in 3 mins running round and spamming attack :)

sorry so long but I couldnt make any shorter

you will need: fish, crossbow, tranq arrows, tame helper, narcotics and a flyer. (you can use a gun and darts) if your looking to tame one of these go to the big green metal thing in the sky and there is a little gorge around the center. find a spino and lead it in (make sure it’s not to far away) and you can shoot it and once it goes down hop on ur pteranodon, quetzal etc and fly down give it some fish and tame helper and narcotics and depending on the lvl u will have it in 1-20 mins FUN FACT: the big green thing in the sky i was talking about if you have a dinos implant and enough amber (it will say how many in the bottom right of the text) and you go to the green, red, purple/bule thing (idk what they are called lol 😅) in the sky you can revive the dino (WARNING: idk wether it works on computer but i done it on my iphone with a horse and it worked!) hope u enjoyed! (like so ppl know)

I LOVE spinos so much. Better than rexes because: they are faster( 4 legs is faster than 2); they are stronger when they are on 2 legs, slower, but stronger, with a damage buff when you are in water; they look cooler; and although a rexes roar may be louder, spinos can roar too! These guys are great tames(I have five of them and still counting)

Ok i use this taming method on rex, spino, and giga. You’ve got to pack ur self a flying mount, tranq arrows, crap ton narcotics, four metal billboards, and a bear trap. Set the signs up in a square near the spino. But LEAVE THE LAST ONE OUT of the circle. Put the bear trap in the middle. Lure it in the trap while on ur birdie and he’ll get stuck. Quickly place the last sign behind him and then fire away!
