What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This is kinda hard to say but is a great EARLY game tame
All you gotta do is Dilo pursuit or dire war and megapirahna pursuit that will get you a weapon for tranq and balm it may be a bit hard though.-lava
They have a very small aggro radius making them easy to avoid, furthermore they hardly ever wander away from water.
In combat, wild Spinos act like glass cannons, they have the same health as Thylaceos but have high DPS plus a movement speed and attack boost in water. Sustained assault rifle fire or a tanky mount with decent attack will slaughter the poor thing.
Tamed Spinos are a different story however…
Tamed a level 10 with master craft longneck in three hits with reg tranq and tamed it in 3 seconds with prime and balm. Really great tame and easy tame I recommend it to all of you
FINALY knocked one out but then a Meg ate it 😳 excuse me wile I scream into my pillow

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
Thank you guys again for so many ups to tame spinos. Still haven’t lol. There was a….insedent…. Well found one wile looking for equis. So excited to tame!

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

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*
I won't say they are better than Rex, but they are... On four legs it's fast and on two is strong but overall it looks awsm take more space to stay(size) than Rex specially when it comes to breeding but I love them.They have no turning radius issue when in 2 legs but they can only stand in 2 legs when you ride them and on land. Buff last 30s enough to kill alfha Rex of same level.
Without friends go up a cliff and have a flyer and start shooting it and when it rains go after it but don't go the ground and find a aother cliff closeer to it and ko it . With friends have you or your friend to pick you up and follow it until it's down it easy with friends
Never see the taming tip of spino on youtube and other always make your own trap to tame the spino today motive only down😁😅
Just FYI. Watch where you tranq these guys. They have high Oxygen levels but they can drown. KO it outside water before taming as taming can take a while even on low levels. Learnt this the hard way after clearing all piranhas, salmon and raptors in the area.
I was taming a carno on a beach, when a spino came and was attacking a stegosaurus, I wanted to tame it so I shot it with a crossbow and 4 seconds later I died. I had full hide armor and apprentice hide boots:(
