I find that raw meat stays good longer in a spinous inventory, this is very good for storing prime

Better than Rex

Tyrannosaurus Rex? More like tyrannosaurus rekt

On single player, it will definitely be a bit harder since you won’t have other “meat bags” to sacrifice. The best way I find to knock this Dino out is if you don’t have the tranquilizer engram, you use your highest ranged weapon (most likely the ascendant bow you’ll get from the Hunt Dilophosaur pursuit) that uses tranq arrows. Practice shooting if you want, but the spino has a large hit box because the fan on its back also counts as a part of it. Check Dododex on the possible level of the Spino you want to tame. Sometimes, you may want extra ammo to knock it down guaranteed. Finally, knock it down and make sure you have anything to increase its torpor by a lot. It’s not as bad as the Therizino from experience, but its torpor drains quickly so be sure to check it constantly. If you want a safety net when engaging. Mount on a tanky mount and make sure you can still shoot. That MAY only harm the Dino, which benefits from the armor by the saddle, depending on size. Good luck with taming.

For anybody who want to tame a Spinosaurus without build a stone trap, here is a tip.

1. Ride a flyer (a any level of Tapejara with alot of health is highly recommended )

2. Find a Spinosaurus near the green obelisk

3. Aggro it and lure it to the green obelisk (watch your distance between you and the Spinosaurus. Don't be to close or to far)

4. Just go to the obelisk till the Spinosaurus fell to the cliff

5. Land your Tapejara to the cliff ( this is why you need Tapejara) and start shooting it with tranq dart till it unconscious

6. Spinosaurus will stuck to the cliff as it try to run away due to taking enough torpor damage so it won't escape and you won't have to waste your time chasing the run away spino and save your dart

7. Feed it with meat according to the dododex

P.S clean the obelisk from any threat that will make your taming process failed such as titanoboa, dilo, and raptor. I play on mobile if that's important

The trap I used for it was 3x3 stone foundation, then doorways all around the trap, two walls high. Then you place a ramp and lead it in, it worked perfectly for me.

Make sure to keep a distance, so that if you run into at least 2, try to get a picture before they try to get you.

Dododex say's 34 Mutton for a 145 Spino on 2x, on Aberration. But in reality its 42 tested it and it's about 8 Mutton more than it say's.

Get stamina in deep water

Encountering is surprisingly easy (for me at least). You can find it in nearby rivers. Usually they will rampage overthere. If you stay there too long however, it might wander itself into the nearby woods, but will not wander too far away. I suggest killing it for easy xp, but remember to keep at least one high lv (as high as possible,or at the safest place to tame).You will not regret of your decision later on, trust me.

Spino’s are OP but if you choose to tame one using a trap make sure they can’t run over it because the you have to re lure it in to the trap

I tamed my first spino in the redwoods and I built a trap with a LARGE BEAR TRAP and I kept having to feed it narcoberrys raw prime meat probably is better than normal raw meat. So keep a pronto trike or ankle with you to collect narcoberrys.

In order to battle this ABSOLUTE MONSTER OF A CREATURE you must take a powerful ranged weapon like a crossbow or something stronger if you don't have that........ UNLEASH HELL DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO STOP THIS THING. But don't consider moving

How to ride a Spino and move it without using a saddle. step one: tame a Spino. Step two: get above it somehow. Step three: jump on it. Step four: preferably get on its head or neck. Step five: face wherever you want to move. Step six: press comma, the dinosaur will then move to the green arrow that will appear. This will work on other Dino’s too.

Well I had to kill one of lvl 95 using my lvl 140 trike on the way back to my base

I mean it was not that difficult , the trike has knockback on attack and I was on a high ground with a slope to my advantage so just spammed attack to kill it.

But yeah I lured it out of water

Taming a spino is surprisingly easy! In my world I am around level 55. I just tamed one of these beasts to have so protection from big creatures if needed because I want to adventure away from home farther. I found my spino in a river in south zone 2 or. All I did was have a bunch of tranq arrows (31) and I went up on a cliff and shot down at it. This worked pretty well just make sure the bottom of the cliff is land not water. Then you can tranq it out until unconscious. Then make sure to put raw fish meat in its inventory (raw meat goes three times slower). And after that it’s actually a pretty quick tame! I have a level 2 so it was easier to tranq out but I will level him up until I can get the saddle at level 71!

Hope this helps- beginner ark player

Spino is probably one of the best for Alpha killing. It’s very versatile in its movement, swimming fast and using the water buff to run fast. It can also hit fast and hard enough in the bipedal stance that it can knock back even alpha rexes. I’ve killed a lvl 280 alpha Rex without taking any damage by just spamming my mouse. Spino OP

How to tame a Spino

1: Gather loads of meat and fish meat

2: If you’re trying to tame a low level spino, make at least 30 tranq arrows. If you’re taming a stronger one make at least 100 (just in case). You can use the cross bow. If you don’t have one you can make a few normal bows

3: Make loads of narcotic. At least 50. Also make bronto egg kibble

3: find the spino you want to tame

4: shoot it

5: put the narcotic and meat or kibble in its inventory and wait

You have a spino :D

If this helped give a like

Don't recommend doing the 10 pillar/ladder trick, the spino will likely just run away. Instead build a pen that is at least 3x3 stone with all windows and at LEAST 4 high, otherwise the spino will just walk right over them. Easy enough to tame in a 3x3x4 stone box, just don't stand too close cause the attacks will reach outside of the pen.
