What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
IDK if dinos come in different sizes on mobile, but a lvl 60 spino will NOT fit in a 3x3x3 stone trap
In abbrent spino will be more powerful maybe
I dont see anyone talking about how these buggers are if you don't trap them and they start running.... Chased one across the map
I just lured it to the red obelisk then let it fall in. Boom. Natures spino trap 🪤. So purple can see consider upping this tip :)
(Just don’t let it get to the edges of the obelisk or it will get out.)
I am Dissapointed how people uses stone walls instead of something like trike can block the damages while you knock it down
SOO... i was a lvl 25 at the time riding my new raptor when I saw a spino a thought to myself RUNNNNN but I was looking in my inventory and saw a soothing balm ...... to make a long story short my raptor died but I cam home with a new spino
So uh you know the person screaming they’re not useless? Hehheh....lemme explain why so I have a spino named “the eye of death” because his eyes were red. But his real name was “devil def” so we were out on our Rex with devil following us. And a Tapejara flying over us to keep eye out because devil was not that leveled...my Rex was at max level. Death...not so much so he was about lvl 123 so then we saw this super low lvl brontosaurus so we attacked it but it almost killed my Rex IN ONE HIT!!! It turned out my Rex was getting bit by raptors AND WE DIDNT NOTICE!! So my Rex called Rexy was almost dead until devil killed all the raptors (about 20 of them) got leveled up (about lvl 140) and completely wiped out that bronto since we just put him on attack target because Rexy would have died then it will attack us (bronto not the spino or Rex) so Rexy still survives today!! And they both found mates! Ze end!!!! ÙwÚ
To tame them you get Lure the spino to a cliff and tranq them
Changed my life is prime meat and tranq darts
Use 4 dino gates and 1 large bear trap. Place the bear trap in centre of 3 dino gates in a u shape big enough for spino to get in ,not to big, When the spino is in the trap stuck in the bear trap place the las dino gat blocking the spino inside. It takes 64 tranq darts using 167 longneck rifle. And 88 trans arrows. Need 200 narcotics to keep knocked out. Do not leave it without narcotics being consumed
To knock out spino find a high place or craft a pillar that is 10 blocks high then shoot the spino(recommended longneck rifle)(tranqdart)the until it run away from if it run away just keep firing until it know down
Once one of these things was chasing me. After about ten seconds the battle music stopped so I stopped sprinting. Then out of no where it jumped on top of me. The moral here is beaches are not safe
I saw a tip saying they can't be tamed underwater because they will drown. I don't think that's true. I'm currently taming one that's fully submerged, it's at 60% and full oxygen. Only about 3ft of his dorsal spines are above water. :)
On official I tamed a 130 bye getting it in a circle of giant bear traps and repeatedly head shoting it. With a master craft long neck and tranq darts took about 5-10 head shots. Used around 700 narcotics and used exceptional kibble. Still will take 2 hours though.
If being chased don’t think going into the water or scaling a cliff is a good idea, they’re great swimmers and when on four legs and climb decently. They are distracted easily, so try to get it to agro on a herd of trikes or other herbivores and run off to a safe distance.
to kill them easily all you have to do is be lvl 40, find a low level one (lvl 1-20) and get a shotgun with about 30 shells. you can two shot them if they are levels 1-12, so i recommend fighting low levels if your under level 50.
I just tamed a male and he has a beautiful sun set color and honestly when taming them raw prime fish does like 20% and it’s not hard to find prime fish which I thought it was including when you are near the green obelisk just find sabertooth salmon in some of the small streams
And at out of 5 two will get you raw prime meat
