Tips & Strategies

What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
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.

HOW TO TAME WITHOUT TRAPS
Material: Biotoxins (or narcotics), Tranqs, Prime fish meat, Rifle / Crossbow
1) Find the spinosaurus you want
2) Get it to an area with LOTS of wildlife. They are pretty tarded and get distracted easily. NOTE: they are VERY fast, so be quick
3) Harass it with tranqs (at least 20-30) until it’s out.
4) Shove prime fish meat down it’s throat and keep it down with narcs or biotoxins ( reccommend biotoxins )
5) Defend the spino. If on mobile, use soothing balm.
6) Profit
These things are hard to tame,
I tamed one with a 15× multiplier.
Soooo... goodluck
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

I tamed one of these in easy mode as soon as I got tranq arrows /lvl 21/ they are terrifingly fast like most starter tames can't outrun it.
Be sure to get a baryonyx or a fast creature in and out of water, because the first time I took on a spino with my archentivis, it catches up with me faster than I expected, and the result was bloody. I used a baryonyx next and they are AMAZING for knocking Dino’s out. You can use things while riding them, and it has saved my life so many times.
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.
Just finished an hour long hunt for a lvl 150 aberrant Spino in the Valguero ab trench. Pro tip, kill every karkinos first. And probably every other spino too. Also, don’t do what I did and forget that they eat fish. He dropped 1/4 of his torpor bar before I remembered. Luckily there were ab salmon in the river there and with an apprentice chainsaw I was able to get enough prime fish meat to tame him up before he woke up angry. He’s level 219 now after taking with 92.2% effectiveness only because I accidentally loosed one extra tranq arrow after he fell. He is called Sigurd.
The spawn timer on these is terrible takes like an hour or 2, if your trying to tame one and you’ve killed all the low levels just leave for a few hours or your gonna have to wait a long time
These things are not that hard to tame on mobile just make 8 stone door frames. Basically you need six but make 2 as extra, then with a pteranadon Or other FLYING MOUNT trap it make a rectangular box.
Note - The people who write tips in which they tell that thay are popular youtubers like schwalbe Or iguana please stop such things cuz we readers are not idiots
Super glitchy to trap and fast 🤕
Be prepared with ether lots of narc or the little black mushrooms off ab I noitced the mushrooms do better
