What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Use a shotgun or a pump shotgun to kill a spino
Trap it in a 4x4 pen with a Dino gate on each side except one side put a behemoth gate (with a door). Idk about other people but I use my frog to knock it out. Mutton or raw prime fish meat or kibble. I feel bad torturing it that it was almost low health and let it recover by itself like a few times just to get its food level very very low, so I don’t have to deal with trying to keep it down or worry that I don’t have enough toxins or whatever.
I spawned on in spino lake a raptor,trike, cambeo,saman Dillo dodos and para attacking a spino I was standing on a plant the spino stepped on me!!
I was lucky enough to encounter a spino in the south-center swamp on island. The tight area made it hard for the spino to chase me and got stuck easily. Took about 20 tranq darts to knock and Lots of gators were around so the prime meat helped tame it in 20 minutes!
I found this 115 Spino. It had a bright white sail and a black and red body. Even though it was 115 It looked beautiful and was the highest level I found throughout my whole save. Sadly, I couldn't even trap it because she can go above 3 high and even 4 high walls. She escaped and swam to the ocean and was attacked by sharks and annoying mantas. I could reverse the save, but it was far too back for me to do so. Wilcard fix your game
Made a 3x3 stone dinosaur gateway raft for Rex and spino taming, Spino kept popping back out after sinking in to the trap, tested on Rex and tamed no problem, spino for some reason just wouldn’t fit in the same sized trap, seems they are bigger some how? Spotted a lvl 147 spinosaur female to tame and no matter how many times I’m forced to retreat and rebuild the raft I’ll keep at it till it’s tranqed and tamed to be ridden. So far I’ve nearly had my imprinted argentavis Little Wing eaten as well as her husband who’s three times her level. The spino it seems can alter its attack rate, it sped up a lot when my birds health got below one third during the taming runs on the 147. They have attention issues making a 3 minute flight to kite to the raft a 20 minute struggle to avoid an allo pack on the upper bank of the river as the river dried up preventing taking the raft closer to my parking bay. She’s currently waiting up river for hopefully the final attempt, fingers crossed take success
A spin-off will actually need way less narcotic, just so you know, and get to higher ground if taming
Build a taming pen, (Find a design or get creative!), pure the spino into there, light it up with tranq arrows.
Why are the spino faster than raptors?!? Scary monsters.
Once they are on their torpor run, they’re pretty quick so it’s easier with a gun.
Run. Whatever you are thinking, don't. Just don't. It's not worth it. It will kill you. It will kill your raptors, your dilos, your Paras, your phiomas, your pachys, everything. Just run
Yes. Yes it did kill me and all my Dino's listed above. Thank you for noticing.
Boi I walked up to a spinosaurus thinking i could punch it enough to knock it out an this spino comes and claws my face in when to my base and killed all of my Dino’s I shot it like a million times didn’t affect it al of the sudden it stops moving I go up to it and see it’s dead rip all my Dino’s and spino
If your gonna try to tame a Spino, use a lot of narcotics and bio toxin. I also suggest to go onto a cliff if your gonna shoot it with tranq arrows. WARNING: Their percentage go up like 6 or seven percent for a low level.
Build a stone 10 high pillar and a ceiling on top and sit there and keep onus Tranquilizer arrows or dart to knock it out
Level 21 multiplayer, though slingshot and high ground I could knock one out...
DONT DO IT. I ran and it went in a semi circle around the hill, welp I’m dead again
I have found many on the island near the south east zone one and have killed most of them never had the time to tame but hopping to
Build 3 stone battle ments and 1 curved battlement. Make 10 tranq darts . Find The most beautiful and weak Spinosaurus ( lower levels need 6-7 darts, high .lvls need more
) using pelagirnis, fly and attack it . Then land in battle ments it will eat parasaurs,fly and attack it again .use darts. It will run away but go to sleep . Give some prime fish meat and bio toxins You have got a Godzilla now...
