How to tame a Spinosaurus easily:-
S1: To find a Spinosaurus, go to rivers (mainly the rivers near the Redwoods).
S2: Options:-
1 Clear out the area if you think anything could trouble you while taming it and if you have a quick mount, knock it out that way.
2 Or build atleast pillars which are 12-14 times higher and knock it out that way.
3 If both of them are risky, build 15-20 fence foundations and stone walls of atleast 3-4 times high and finally finish it with ramps and knock it out with that way.
S3: Knock it out with either tranquilizer darts and a long rifle or tranq arrows and a crossbow.
S4: Feed it Argentavis Kibble (Old ARK Mobile only), Exceptional Kibble, Raw prime fish meat or Raw fish meat.
S5: You have a Spinosaurus :D
Facts:-
F1: It's saddle unlocks on lvl 71.
F2: It is quite quick in water as well as land.
F3: It also has an untameable version in Extinction which is Corrupted Spinosaurus.
F4: When in water, it has a Hydrated buff which increases it's damage and resistance.

If you hear your mobile ring and you misplaced it.. run like hell because a spino is staring down at you.. right now..
It's easy af. Craft 50-60 tranq arrrows, dind spino, find cliff, lead spino to bottom of cliff (or send your friend as a sacrifice to lead it towards the cliff), stand at top of cliff, shoot the spino in the face until it falls asleep, feed it narcoberries and meat, boom boom shakataka, you have spino.
A good way to get it unconscious without a flying dinosaur is by making 10 stone pillars, 10 wooden ladders then climbing up the pillars and shoot it with tranq darts or arrows, it can't break stone fast so ur safe. Pls don't use less than 10 pillars, I tried and I got pushed of the pillar and just died:( Sorry for my bad English. Hope this helped
Most of the time I find 1 in the south in each bay. Sometimes they do that because theirs less fish in the bay. It happened when I started the game, sooo maybe find them their, but if there's remaining only a bit of fish then kill em, and dont throw away the raw fish meat it will be used when you manage to knockout a spino, and use 70-100 or more bio toxin! You'll get them in jellyfish!
Why tame either a Rex or Spinoβ¦ when you can take both? π
Want to tame a super dimetrodon? Read on! Before we get to it, you're gonna want to prepare these things:
DIFFICULTY:
5/ 10: Intermediate
WHAT YOU WILL WANT:
-Taming weapon and ammo (Bow (Tranq arrows), Crossbow (Tranq arrows), Longneck rifle (Tranq/ Shocking tranq darts)
-Taming food (Meat (I prefer raw over fish) / Mutton, Kibble)
-Biotoxin/ Narcotics
Now that you have what you need, let's get taming!
For this dino, there are 2 methods (Honest). Here they are:
METHOD 1: The Trap
The usual. 2x2 stone trap (4 stone floors, 16 stone walls and 4-6 ramps), cost efficient and simple. Lead the spino into the trap and tranq it down. When taming, make sure to watch its torpor as it drains quite fast!
METHOD 2: Trapless
Very easy to perform. Find a spino and tranq it down, and chase it when it runs (Do note the spino is EXTREMELY fast). Also clear the area of nasties (I lost my spino to a Therizino), they like to aggro on everything. Now repeat the taming process and welcome your new spino to your family!
Now, onto the features of the Spino:
UTILITIES:
Spinos are glass cannons, typically having lesser health but more damage than a Rex. They have 2 stances -- The 4-legged and 2-legged stances. The 4-legged stance has a high attack rate but lesser damage, and vice versa for the 2-legged stance. They also have a Hydrophobic Boost, which boosts their stats when they enter a body of water. This increases their movement speed, damage and damage resistance.
That's pretty much it for the Spino! Thanks for your time and check out my other tips!

Their babies are insanely strong. I breeded my lv 40 and the baby was even stronger then both of them combined! I definitely recommend breeding these guys. Also. Now I can take on that stupid alpha Rex. Donβt worry. I fully imprinted this little guy just like all my other ones. Every one βοΈ is one strength for my baby spino
I just knocked out a 140 spino
It's terrifying
Hey, ok so the center, coordinates 08.1 / 63.4 spinos will spawn there, if is not high enough just kill it, leave the area and come back after 3 mins. Normally works, I found a 150 and I'm taming it rn
