You may be intimidated by their large size, but wild Spinos honestly won't attack you as long as you don't get to close. They have a very close range of detection for food, but once they do see you, they will follow you for a long time. They also tend to run in large circles and change direction when you are trying to shoot them. That's not such a big deal though since their are no multipliers for headshots on a Spino. Finally, a Spino will move faster in the water than you or most dinos that aren't a sarco. So running to the water to try and lose them isn't very viable.
More Spinosaurus Encountering Tips
If you are having a hard time finding spino's in their respective spawn zones (especially Ragnarok), kill all the fish in that area. They share the same spawn capacity and can be out spawned by coles!
“South Zone 1 is the safest area!”
The humble Spinosaurus:
Usually found on rivers and beaches
They said the beaches were safe. The things I’ve seen on beaches would scare many men
Once I was just chillin at my base with my 4 trikes, 2 raptors and 1 bronto them this spino walks up to my base wrecks my house and kills my tames I barely get away on my raptor. THIS BEAST PLAYED VOLLEYBALL WITH MY BRONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tamed one now I have a big base lots of tames and my spino is the same one that ruined my base all that time ago. (Ironic right?)
They can’t destroy stone structures, but they can hit you from the other side. Up so noobs can see
Don’t mess with this unless you gonna tame it, it has high damage enough speed so you don’t get away and in the worst case a waterbuff
Which makes him do more damage and he never runs out of stamina cuz it recovers faster than it consumes it with waterbuff
If you see a weird coloured sail in the water, run...
Scream ERIIIIIC!!! They'll come running like a Rex to a diplodocus
Once tried to tame one for my bf while he was offline bc he wanted one. Flew with my Pterra and shot it full of 20!!!!! tranq arrows . Didn’t even flinch. I got too cocky and went too close to the edge of the cliff i was standing on. I fell off RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SPINO. it’s health was low enough that it started to run away. Without looking back, i whistled for my Pterra to follow and ran for my life. currently trying to get another one :( wish me luck!
