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

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.

It was already a great, multiterrain mount to begin with, and now that the TLC added water boosts and different modes (bipedal/quadrupedal), it makes meat runs and everything so much better.

In Aberration those guy are really useful since theyre the only mount that can go toe to toe whit any of your problem

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…

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.

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

I've tamed many spinos all from the same trap, 4 stone dino gates and one large bear trap. Place three down so you can make a rectanlge out of the four, then put the large bear trap down inside of them. Shoot the spino, and run through the trap. Go to the other side and…

Was contemplating whether to attempt gaming one of these and finally went for it. My first carnivorous animal tame. Miraculously knocked it down and tamed it to completion. While leading it back, it got stuck in some unbreakable rocks. Had to build foundations and walls before…

I needed more narcotics for a level 150 dododex... i tamed it because i was near my base but some people could no be as lucky as me...

At redwoods lake I found one lvl 120, it ended 179 and after some training it reached 18k of HP and 700% of melee damage, it’s an absolute BEAST! I can take on alpha rexes, alpha megalodons, and almost any other creature (expect wild gigas and titanosaur), it’s a very…
