Here's how to tame one at level 21 go to South East where it's a Garenteed spawn get on a cliff. Have at lease 120 frank arrows and a crap ton of narcotics and meat then shoot it it will try to get to you but can't since u on a cliff when it starts to run away Hopefully it's low enough level so it will pass out not long after running. Then boom ez spino at level 21. But can't have saddle until level 71 or iff on mobile and can get a random apprentice one in a gift

When taming there oxygen doesn’t deplete so don’t let that stop you from knocking one out near water.

These are way better then rex’s, first of all they get a boost if they go into water, second they have 2 forms similar to the iguanadon, it can stand to deal more damage but go a little slower, the mode which sends it on all fours does less damage but has more speed.

They are so good for gather meat, I used one while in a swamp and got so much prime and basic meat, i Had gained over 300 km meat.

Me and my friend where taming a 120 spino and dododex said it would take 44 tranqs but it took 80 tranqs and 20 darts

PLEASE REPLY

I want to tame a spino and here is two ideas on how I think I can (I’m on level 24 btw)

1. Tame trap

It will take two sarcos, one parasaur, and a ichy (can do rn)

I will hop on my icy and park him right across from herbi island. Then I will go back and take my two sarcos to escort me and my VERY fast (but disposable) para to around that area then find a spino. (They spawn around there) once I find one I will park my sarcos somewhere safe and put on neutral and put a fence around them. Then I will ride on my para and shoot the spino with tranqu darts with a journeyman bow. I will get to chase then will run to water hop on ichy and set my para to neutral. Then I will get the spino to chase me to herbi island. I think I can outswim so I will get there first and run to the top of the cliff that the spino can’t climb. I know it will prob arggo the strong herbs on the island but I will arggo first and get it to not pay attention to them. Then I shoot till nocked and feed meat. I will have plenty of narcotics and meat.

2. Bear trapped

Will take 5 bear traps, two sarcos, one para (I need to get more levels first)

I will bring my trio of pets to a spino area and then put my pets on neutral and fence them when I find spino. I will place the large bear trap in front of me and get the spino to get stuck. Then I will use my journeyman bow to tranqu. If sarco gets out I will put another trap and shoot again. I will repeat until tranqed and feed meat.

These are both flawed please please give insight. I will look every day until Christmas (and even a little after) help me not get killed

-sarco master

I just tamed my first spino, then went and slaughtered like four therizinosaurus while taking very little damage so these guys are really tough.

Great for abb cause a trilbite run gave us easilly 3k chitin and tons of oil and silca

Taming a lvl60 and it says 33 mutton on x1 and mine are 33 and only at 81.1% done.

Think it might be off.

Very hard to knock out on Rag, unless you can trap it, which is a pain because it gets distracted by everything.

On 3x small tribe servers tame a lvl 100+ in the canyons then go around killing more spinos, easy level up for u and other dinos that follow u. A must have tame.

Aim for the body. The sail makes for a nice, big target, which can be helpful. Just get a couple tribe mates to bait it to a cliff and then shoot from the side.

The spino will run down any fast creature so dont try to fire trangs of the back of a raptor or even a bear because it will clap your cheeks

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.

By far The most usefull dino on the Island map. Tame a pair of 100+ lvl, breed 4 of them, level them up a bit ( 10k hp, 1k meele, and 4k oxigen ) and you can rule the island above and bellow the wather. They are faster than a rex, spend less stamina for running/fighting, and do not use stamina for swimming. Been farming artifact of the cunning ( underwater cave ) with ease, alfa squid of alfa mosa are down in under a minute. Great for farming black pearls, angler fish gel, cnidaria toxin. Nothing can touch them on land eather. What else do one need?

The spino is easily better than the rex as it can swim has a faster bite and further range

While I don't play PvP, I think having a Rex squad with these mixed in could be powerful, with the Rex having superior health and damage, while the Spinos have the dps. Again, I only play PvE, so try on an unofficial boosted server first before using up all those resources for taming and sadlling Spinos.

?great for getting me meat. Tackle small dinosaurs.

If you're low/mid leveled, avoid these as much as you can. Its easy for a beginner to see this and think its far too big to be fast, but once they're aggressive, they can easily outrun the player. And standing on their hind legs lets them reach further, so you can't just hide on a rock. If you have no choice but to provoke one of these, my advice is to find the nearest pack of herbivores, which will still the spino, buying you time to find higher ground. Again, for a low level player, escaping is much more feasible than killing.

Takes over 160 darts for a 140 spino*
