Tips & Strategies

What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Place some large bear traps (~5 (depends on level)) and shoot is from a safe distance...stay close to the traps...if it‘s caught by one of them, move in position to the next trap so that it could be caught by the next one and keep shooting tranq darts or arrows...i think thats the best way for a solo tame
Good luck keeping these unconscious xD
You need at least chitin gear so you can tank about 15 hits and if you distract it by leading to the water so it attacks fish while you can tranq it unfortunately you will need a lot of narcotics
P.S: if your on IPad you get an item that boosts taming by 10x use it for spino's
Who will win the upcoming Rex vs. Spinosaurus showdown.
I solo tamed two at the same time...lucky for me the salmon run was going on and I was able to get slot of prim fish. It still took a ton of narcos it felt like all I was doing was feeding them narcos. On was lvl 75 the other was 55, not bad for a solo tame.
Divide melee percent by two to get damage. More or less.
Not a tip , just tame it and love it will all your strength, I effing love this Dino favorite mount
Before you get to the point where you have wyverns, depending on your location spinos can be the best meat gathering tame. For my tribe, our Gigas are the best because we live near the swamp, but if you live somewhere with lower spawns, the spino can get you to the meat easily.
Spinos can't break or get through stone dino gates. Best to use the same trap with the 4 gateways and large bear trap. Use stone gateways and a flying mount to lure it perfectly to the trap.
You guys you guys, calm down, I didn't too do the sarco, I had problems with these guys sooo (taming montage incoming)
I shoot it with toxicant arrows, 100 to be exact, but I put it in bear traps first,
Then I used my argy to get raw Prime meat,and you already know, soothing balm, major soothing balm then I garded it,(someones spoil named bubbles died, rip bubbles)
How to tame a spino:
To start taming, gather materials, minimum is:
Crossbow (80 Tranqs min)
3-4x stone Dino gates
~50 raw prime fish meat
To find a spino, go to the west zone 2 rivers or any swamp/lake
Find the spino you want, then either lure it to a cliff or simply use a Rex trap.
Tranq it out and feed it raw prime fish or simply just fish
And you now have a tamed spino, here are some of its useful features:
Terrestrial and aquatic; It can traverse land insanely quickly, and swim at the speed of a meg
Hydration buff; Gains an insane buff upon touching any body of water, giving higher speed, damage and health regen
All fours and upright; Can change stances, All fours has immense speed while upright deals ~1.5x damage
Piscivorous; Can eat fish and normal meat, can collect both as well
Enjoy your very versatile swimming Rex

How to escape a spino near water: die.
How to fight a spino: shoot, run, shoot, run, repeat.
I was struggling to take one without a trap cause everything was pillored around it. So I got on my flyer shot it got it aggro on me got next to another wild animal and it got distracted, so I shot it until it killed that animal and then rinse and repeat. Hope this helps!
I suggest getting onto a cliff, spam tranq and start chasing it. I can easily do it on a lv 150 Spino at a river on mobile and remember to surround it with spike walls and camp your Spino, or just render it out while it was taming (just make sure it is guarenteed to be tamed afterwards, and feed it soothing balm on mobile if possible). After taming, you will feel unstoppable even against trex. Easiest endgame dino you can get.
So it's been 2 months since I've started to play ark mobile and at first I've no idea where I want to spawn In the map. I choose the South zone ( coz it's showing "easy"), build a base, tames few dinos like trikes, dillos, dodos, diplo and then omeday I was out for farming woods and from high above the hill I saw him mercilessly killing all of my tames. I tried my best to save them and lure him to me but I couldn't 😣😣😣(sniffs) ... Then after getting to a certain level I came revisit him and it was a 145 lvl male spino in green colour. So I decided to tame it. I built a trap with dino gates and run towards him to make him follow me and luckily on the 1st try I managed to trap him. Knocked him out with trank arrows, fed him fish meat with shooting balm and boom it came out as a 219 lvl spino. After taming him I punched him so many times to shooth myself ( ughhhhhh now say who's the boss😈) . Anyways thanks for reading... Bye have a great day ahead 😉
Look, I like all the tips we have here but you know what I do in my game? I go head on and shoot it to get it's attention and keep shooting the arrows until it falls it's really simple just don't died in the process.. That's all I have to say
