Have a speedy dino handy! Once the spino is almost knocked out it RUNS very fast from you. I chased it down firing tranqs while on the back of a Baryonyx. And now that spino is my best friend and ride it everywhere. Very few other dinos will mess with you. Even Alpha Raptors don't pick fights with you while riding a spino. These guys are awesome 😎

They’re great at swimming and collecting prime meat from pacers those tall deer things big I get like 30 every time

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.

Must hav tame for mid-late game aberration

I tamed it by bringing the spino next to a cliff bottom , and I recommend the tapejara because it lands on walls and I used a crossbow with some tranqs and when he tried to escape I over shot it and leaded into a hole and then again tranqed it and got it done lol,and it prefers prime fish meet.USE 15x smoothing balm costs 45 amber

To those trying to find one of these, look around in the river channels near the green obelisk. If that doesn’t work, kill all the fish in your local river. Killing the fish seriously works… I’ve done it several times. Unfortunately, the spinos were low level, so I killed them for EXP. Repeat until you have high level spino.

Watch out for theris when trying to tame these things… they always killed spinos. I’ve tried to tame six spinos so far, and five out of those six times a theri has killed the spino.

When preparing make sure to be able to do something about him running away incredibly fast if you don't use a trap

Spinos are really good tames to have as they are fast on all fours but when on there rear legs they are a deadly Dino they are my second favourite Dino (My favourite is the argentavis). So if you are at the level where you have tranq darts and a long-neck you can tame one

This and the Rex should have a platform saddle, they’re big enough for it and it would be nice being able to make storage on their backs with box’s or make a base on their backs, or turrets to make it deal more damage while fighting hostile Dino’s

Spino’s are way better then Rex’s wether it’s damage or just mechanics, spino’s have 2 standing positions which change its stats, so that means it’s good for if you wanna fight or run, mostly you’d fight tho unless there’s a giga, and since it gets a buff if you go into the water for a second and the buff is awsome, and enhances the stats greatly

Never give up the highground to this dino if it starts running from you look twice cuz it just fooling it will come back yo 😢😢😢 be safe taming one

So Bronto hit me to a swamp and I saw one and took my rex and sed what's up and slap my to death RIP rex

Ok so I had to do this cause everybody was so yea. Dudes and dudettes tame spinos if u wanna take down bosses. Really tho.they are mobile ,fast, and strongger than rexkes.How u might ask. I tried fighting a megapithecus with 10 rexes. It took 12 mins.i tried spinos it took 9 mins.So yea they are very strong and I say VERRY STRONG.Once in ark mobile I had an acsendant spino full levled it had 45,000,000 health ,dealt 800k damage and one shot a titan.Btw this is not a lie. I literally did that.I had lucky patcher hacks.😄😄

If you are hunting for one make sure you have a ranged weapon so if it tries to run you can shoot it.

Ima give you a very easy knock out but will

Require the most prep work so first up you wanna build a ramp leading up to a 3ny 3 door frame stacked on top each other then load up you can use a raptor if your more comfortable with that once the spinosaurs is in the box fire at it once it’s down unconscious feed it fish meat if your spino wakes up don’t worry shoot it back down but feed it narcotics to keep it asleep

One of the more useful dinos in mid game once you unlock bow or crossbow and tranq arrows you need a Dino that you can mount with a saddle with a crap ton of health you spray at the spino once it’s down feed it fish meat and also if you have a thing that boosts taming use it it will do 60% of it done in just 30 seconds

Spinos are very very good for land travel, considering many dinos are neutral towards you while mounted, and it can move very quickly. Compared to a rex, the spino is unmatched as a travel mount.
