Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Idk if its here I didnt check but The spino is good for broodmother because when it is in the little water pools at the arena it will get a more damage and speed

Traps are effective, but hard to make and these things can climb good. Whenever I tame them I try and find a nearby cliff and shoot them form there. They are VERY fast when fleeing, so try to shoot them headshots and very fast.

Make a 4 by 4 foundation with door frames 3 high all around and a ramp up one side. If fast enough Agro the spino and run up the ramp and out the door frame. If not use a flyer.

For beginners on the island a few spinos spawn at south zone 1, and if you get on the hills you can even tame low levels with a slingshot!

If you have around 309 health a normal crossbow base damage and lots of prey this thing is so easy to tame just start shooting it and dodge the hits

(Tip is at the end)I tamed 2 of these beasts so far I got a lvl 2 and a 3 in total it took around 80 narcotic combined and around 10 tranq arrows. For each I used a crossbow and once they are out u HAVE to stay with them so they don’t wake up the trick is to find one by a…

So I am only level 45 and I tamed one of these I was very far from spawn which is where my base is I just stoop atop a. Cliff and tranq him by the time he fell my heart was beating SOOO fast I thought he would kill me and my pteranodon parked next to me the spino I tamed was…

Compared to taming a rex, this thing is actually harder to tame unless this thing spawns in the middle of two cliffs so it’ll have nowhere to run. I once tamed a rex with only a bow and a few tranq arrows on easy mode, obviously, but I can actually kill rexes up to lvl 100+…

Spinos are pretty easy to tame. First get a moschops and set it on wander for Narco berries, then get at least 60 narcotics for a level one spino ( always have extra narcotics), make a crossbow, have at least 20 tranq arrows, find a good cliff, shoot the spino till it falls…

These things are super bad at the start if you see one grab your tames and run It killed my best friend rapti and my parasaur for no reason

Knocking out a Spino is pretty easy if you have a good crossbow, tranq arrows and a damage sponge tame. My taming does not involve traps, and as such I recommend a Sarco or a Baryonyx.

Alternative: A T. Rex will almost always be targeted by a Spino, so put the Rex on Passive…

I just agroed the spino then put up a Dino gate as it got close and it works well because it tries to get you but can’t. Then when it starts torpor running you can just chase it. ☝️Up if helpful.

It is one of my mildly easiest all you need is a lot of narcotic and plenty of tranq arrows

WARNING: the spinos knockout decreases fast and if you don't have any more meat or narcotic on you your screwed
