What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I currently have two of them around my base and they killed every dinosaur that I’ve lured into their area I was hoping the wild dinosaurs would kill it but it looks like that’s not going to be the case and I’m low-key terrified
I'f you encounter one it's better if you had a journey man sword and flak or better armour so you can kill it but if it has a 30+ level even you had flak armour it's better to leave and fly away with your flyer or ride and run away with your ridable dino
I have 7 spinos. One is level 39 and 84% imprinted. Even though it isn’t fully imprinted and not too high-leveled, it has the ability to mow down the Dead Island like an industrial size lawn mower on someone’s puny little backyard. Especially if it has the Hydration buff. It’s so fast I used it to tame my giga by leading it into a trap. Do not underestimate spinos. With plenty of hard work and patience, you can destroy everything except gigas, Titans, and bosses. Everything else gets creamed.
Try to get it stuck on a few rocks if it’s trying to eat your face and shoot it
I was walking to collect more reasurse when suddenly i came accros a spino and i died but it cant see you if you are hidden
Even though they are close to rivaling the Rex, they are harder to tame for new players in the sense of keeping it knocked out, the Rex stays out a lot longer, as for usefulness the spino does get a water buff which is amazing but it would be useless in most boss arenas because they don’t have any type of water, the Rex also comes with the ability to equip it with a tek saddle which will just shred bases if you have it unlocked, to achieve a top level spino you’ll need kibble, the kibble is made from Rex eggs also, overall the spino is an amazing Dino, just not as useful as the Rex in terms of long term survival.
Do you know how a giga trap looks like? Well using 4 stone gates and 2 giant bear traps works just as well. Doing this however pushed the spino into the ground and with it bitting the gate makes it a tiny bit harder to hit its head but once tames it will stand normaly after you demolish the gates.
1. Make a U shape out of gates and place 2 giant bear traps inside it
2. Lure the Spino into the opening
3. Once its stuck on the trap run behind it and put the gate as close as you can to the trap, Spino is long so dont wory if theres a big gap it will still work
4. Enjoy tranqing it. Try to kill a few Sabertooth salmons and harvesting them with a sickle for prime fish meat
I tamed a level 50 with cooked mutton on 3x and it only took 5, hope this helps!
These are a beast of a Dino but I would not recommend taking any under the level of 100 they have terrible stats at lower levels even with max taming effectiveness
It is dangerous just knock it unconscious and try to tame it this app tells you how to do it one live beside my house and I could not go out my door so I tamed it
Cliff, no one can top this taming method Cliff, Cliff,
+Flyer to get down cliff
If your on a pvp server or pvx that’s in pvp and you see a sail with a strap on it… you and anyone nearby will be dead… happened to me and I knew what it was and I ran but the spino and the person caught up too fast and ate me… I lost monkey
I just knocked him out with tranq arrows then gave him fish meat normal fish meat and bio toxin waited 30 min and tamed
when i tamed my spinosaurs i didn’t have any narcos at the time, but i was lucky enough to find tons of nearby berries and to also have my friend on me. it ended up working out fine, but tldr make sure you have narcotics. these bad boys (and girls) wake up pretty fast
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.
