What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They have really handy water buff,
If you go in water, they are strenger
When you see a loan 15 spino get 18 tqrac arrows and some fish and alot of drugs
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
They are not easy to tame if you see one I recommend running if you’re a low level
Im just taming my spino, nothing big. Then i see a sarco BLAST ONTO MY SCREEN. IM HAVING A LOT OF FUN. *dies*
Take more mutton than it says mine said 33 took like 40
70% more likely to find high level spinos in the volcanos ponds. 20% more likely to find a 150 spino the ponds. Basically.. hit the volcano for a decent spino.
I used 5 stone dino gates to trap them (they don't damage stone structures) I also managed to trap a 140 and 150 next to one another, so it definitely works.
The tamin effectiveness and the length you need to wait until it tames is no longer even remotely accurate. I was taking a lvl 140 last night, 2:54:00 until he is starved it says, so I wait the 3 hours and put in my mutton, it only takes it to 50% where it it supposed to be 100% and the taming effectiveness was significantly lower already than it should have been. Fact- Mutton Taming Time/Effectivness= Broken
A Spino loses torpor VERY quickly after being knocked out. Remember that torpor doesn't drop when it's rising after a narcotic is fed, so gradually feed it narcotics - dont spam 30 and then walk away. You'll go farther on less drugs.
To tame i suggest that you make a trap and us trank darts and make sure to keep checking on it
Spinos are natural swimmers. they have large amounts of oxygen and dont use stamina in water. The would easily make my top 10, Top 5, or even Top 3 travel dinos since you can quickly cross maps via land AND water. They are also easy KO’s. A low lvl can take 5-6 tranq arrows and not alot of narcos. Very common on Abberation.
Just use 2 giant bear trap and place them in a line with a but distance, then use a crossbow with good amount of tranq arrows.. I used this method and tamed 4 of em
Go on a hill and tranq it maintain it’s torpor so it does not wake up use you food of choice raw fish meat,raw prime fish meat,kibble
On mobile they spwan around rivers and in rivers and occasionally the swamp or swamp red woods border now they are fast so a trap is recommended put a bunch of stone foundations and then stone doorframes all around stacked up on each other put 4 of them stacked for each side and then 2 wooden ramps lure the spino in and get out though a little gap enough for a player to get though then tranq it out prime fish works best but prime meat will work too it will just take a bit longer and bring around 100 bio toxin or narcotics then wait a bit and you got a spino
DO NOT LISTEN TO PEOPLE THAT SAY THIS IS EASY TO TAME these guys are fast and dangerous I tried taming one without a trap with tranq arrows and just kept running around if you plan on taming it without tranq darts use a trap
