Tips & Strategies
Bruh, people just making this thing hard. The tip to tame a spinosaurus is just going for him riding a carbonemys (it will need lots of health, I think 2000 is enough) while having a crossbow or bow with tranqs. Just shoot him repeatedly as he will hit your carbonemys instead of you, and when he starts to run away, get out of the carbonemys and keep shooting and chasing him until he gets knocked. Then feed him lots of meat and use lots of narcotics (biotoxins better). Thx for reading and hope it helps ^_^
Warning: these things are super slick and slippery! They will manage to avoid your trap many times!
Here's how I tamed my first spino, I used a diplodocus with a health of about 3000 and used it as a distraction for the spino, so while it was hitting my diplo, I was shooting tranq arrows at it. Keep in mind that the diplo will also push away the spino, so it won't get hit much.
Whenever you're taking the Spino, remember to take at the very least 300 narcotics. It wakes up FAST, and whenever your taming ANY creature, surround it with wooden spike walls! Saves me countless tames from smaller pack animals. And to knock it, you simply need steep high ground and go to town with your tranqs. Happy taming!
If a spino is near your base and your not far enough along to kill it, make it go out of view and do a tidy save, especially if it’s somewhere that it’s not common, like the original spawn. Then leave the game and go back in and hopefully it will be gone
If you’re low level and have a spoon near your base, try to hopefully find some trikes to deal with it. I’ve seen trikes go ham with spinos, and they come in groups, which gives them the better advantage. I watched a group of trikes deal with two spinos that were near my base and I was absolutely thrilled!
These are one of the best in my opinion it spawned in like south zone 2 or 3 I was in 1 I was going to kill it when I saw one that was not a alpha so it was normal and it murdered 2 alpha trikes!These are op I hope I can kill it I’m only lvl 23 with some rappers and stuff but do not attack and don’t go in there domaine unless prepare and near high ground.
Rip me
These things nocked me off a cliff more than 5 times and took over 30 trank arrows for a level 20
Plssss help! I am a noob just a lil thatch hit a low lvl parasuar and a low lvl turtle.as I was on an "expedition"""" 2 steps away from my hut I heard a terrible noise...I didn't know what it was a dillo? Mabey, a raptor? Mabey a compy? Hope so. But no..I remembered the brutal beast I saw with my dodo on my first day.he was back I quickly checked the wiki for the roar and boy oh boy was I sad when I had found it was a Spinosaurus. Plus help each and every night I hear it getting closer and closer. Pls help.
Be aware of Genesis' X-Spinos, like all "X-"Dinos, having significantly increased damage resist, resulting in way more tranq darts needed than stated above. If you're going to tame an X-Spino, take at least double the amount with you!
How I got mine:
Get a pteranodon
Check for other creatures nearby
Land on a really tall, unclimbable rock
Go ham with any tranquilising weapon
Feed much narcotic
Kill stuff for meat and prime
There you go sir, 1 spino free of charge
For this dinosaur I suggest using big bear traps to help keep the spino in place while shooting tranq arrows. Shooting at its head will tranq it faster .I also suggest using a crossbow, it will make the process faster.👍👍
If you try to tame a spino, get it stuck on like the surface because if you knock it out in the shallows in the river mostly megapiranas will attack you and the spino.
I was low level when I got mine (On single player too) it was always around the river I used for water and kept breaking my pipes. So I looked at a few guides and found an easy way to capture it. Just build a 3 x 3 of stone and build 3 stone door frames up on each side. On another build ramps going up to the top. Get the attention of the spino with your weapon (a bow will do) and run up the ramps, it might take a few tries but if it follows you slip through the door frame and it won’t be able to escape, then just knock it out with tranq arrows or darts. Hope this helps. Good Luck :)
Stabz~ Spinos are super fast on land so trying to knock them out without a trap can be tough.
I personally recommend going into a lake (yuh I know they are better killers in water) but a wild spino won’t go deeper in the lake than the surface for some odd reason (maybe ark glitch?) TRY IT!!! Please up this comment so others will see! :)
I LOVE spino why u say thay suck
