I found a Lvl 140 Spino by the Penguin pond in The Centre, it got stuck in the ice caverns, easiest big boy tame ever

For new players who haven’t ever seen a spinosaurus before:

They are bigger then they look.

A lot bigger

Place 3 stone dino gates and one giant bear trap in middle, shoot it and boom here he comes... While he is on trap place last stone dino gate on the back ez tame. Really good in swamp everything fears them and kapro cannot grab you while standing in 2 legs.

So hi I and today I'm gonna teach u how to tame a spino

You will need-

A crossbow

Trang arrows (at least 28)

A lot of raw meat (46)

Or raw fish meat (20)

Or prime meat or mutton

Fish meat is best though

Bio toxin or narcs

Now to tame it get on a cliff and take out your crossbow

Start shooting it it will aggro after some 8 arrows it will start fleeing chase it and knock it

EZ

Now I just give it meat or fish meat and toxin or narcs

You have a spino

Hi I'm Tiger my last tip was on the raptor

Stabz~ Spinos are super fast on land so trying to knock them out without a trap can be tough.

I personally recommend going into a lake (yuh I know they are better killers in water) but a wild spino won’t go deeper in the lake than the surface for some odd reason (maybe ark glitch?) TRY IT!!! Please up this comment so others will see! :)

I LOVE spino why u say thay suck

This guy just appears on my island :(

I was low level when I got mine (On single player too) it was always around the river I used for water and kept breaking my pipes. So I looked at a few guides and found an easy way to capture it. Just build a 3 x 3 of stone and build 3 stone door frames up on each side. On another build ramps going up to the top. Get the attention of the spino with your weapon (a bow will do) and run up the ramps, it might take a few tries but if it follows you slip through the door frame and it won’t be able to escape, then just knock it out with tranq arrows or darts. Hope this helps. Good Luck :)

I want to leave my house then he killed me And he’s still there (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)

See one of these. Run. No looking at it. No trying to kill it. running is the only option that keeps you alive

Guys!!!! Don’t compare the Rex and the Spino! Both are good at what they are. Spino is a glass cannon and gets a major buff in water. It has high speed, damage, range and knockback. Use this against small enemies to medium-large enemies to ultra decimate them! Even more when in water!!! It’s damage is what carries it. Rex is a tank that is used against bigger enemies. It has ultra health, high damage (but less than Spino), moderate speed, moderate range and has a ability to stun creatures and make them defecate! Use against small enemies for major advantage, as well as big enemies too! It does good at both tanking and damage, so it’s rounded up unlike the Spino. When comparing each other, none are better than the other. They are both very good at what they do!

Hands down my favorite tame. I have twelve of them, maxed out, and am incubating more. They're super fast and can kill anything they encounter. 100% worth dying 20 times to tame!

Okay, so, I know there’s this thing about how rexes are better than spinos and vice versa, but the spino is superior. It’s faster, stamina lasts longer, and its dps is insane. Not to mention that it has a hydration buff that makes it even more powerful. They’re loose cannons, which is why they die in the wild a lot: they kill EVERYTHING in sight and then they get killed due to the enormous amount of angry dinos chasing them(the spino is faster, but it usually gets cornered against a cliff). They also have two speeds that each come with their own attack… that’s pretty rad. Literally the only downside is their hp. Just upgrade hp to a safe level. Against the Rex, their damage output is way higher. The only thing they don’t match is hit points, but like I said just upgrade hp if it’s a tame, and you have a vicious killing machine. These are a must tame .Hope you enjoyed, even if it was long.😂

I used this thing to commit 5 mass swamp massacres, absolute monster, it's just too hard to find at high level

When there's a spino right outside your wooden base and you accidentally open a window.

Spinos love to stay close to their water source, so if you encounter one in the wild, run as far away from the water as possible. It will turn around and forget about you.

I tamed a lvl 105 with cooked fish meat give me a medal

What confuses me is that people choose this for a power mount, specifically for the purpose of having a power mount. Guys, these are WAY faster than carnos or allos, and they regain their stamina faster, AND the water buff makes them utilize their stamina more. So you also have a speed/scout! Put that together with lightning fast dps, large size, sort of good hp(it’s a lot of hit points, but compared to other creatures the same size, it’s pretty fragile) you have the IDEAL tame.

Oh, did I mention that they swim?

AND they regain stam almost instantly when swimming?

Boom.

We can’t forget the rex vs spino part of the tip:

You’re looking at an even match here, I’d say. One on one, your level one spino will beat your level one Rex, but you’re not necessarily getting one of them specifically for beating the other one, if that makes sense.

Spinos are MUCH quicker, and have a considerable edge on the damage output, but they’re not made for the beating that a Rex can take. If you’re looking at going to battle, it makes sense to choose a rex… much more health, and has a poop roar, which can be useful against smaller creatures.

Spinos are good for travel, and guerrilla tactics.

The only things that can easily catch up with one are pteros and gallies(to be honest, who is going to chase a spino with a gally…).

Quick, good swimmers, great damage, but low compared to Rex.

I have both, and I’m just being honest when I say I prefer the spino, mainly because it’s way more fun to ride, and because it’s faster and more powerful damage-wise. I still love my Rex though.

Note: tamed rexes are actually quite fast.

Another note: spinos are disliked for their turning radius, but in bipedal mode, they have virtually no turning radius, instead turning with the screen like a human or gigantopithecus.

Thanks for reading! I hope this helped

Once you have hit it a couple of times when it starts to run be aware that they are really really fast so be ready to chase after it

Need a tek variant

It would have a giant saw blade for a fin. It could have a special attack that could do the bleed affect real saw blades hurt and make you bleed like crazy so this would be really kewl
