For my personal opinion the spino is the BEST starter tame I found a lv 54 spino near my base and easily trapped it using a large bear trap and 4 dino gate ways it has absolutely carried me through out my play through until I got a lv 112 one I was able to kill EVERY THING I mean high level rexes spinos or alphas in a matter of seconds and I was able to traverse the whole island extremely rapidly so please TRY to tame one it is REALLY useful in travel fighting and mostly anything .thanks .

For anyone trying to find spino they mostly spawn on south zone,rivers and swamps (I only know island spawns) if you can't find them kill some creatures so the spino have a higher chance to spawn I tamed of these beasts and they are so cool they wreck everything even with non imprinted ones they are still beasts

If you want to tame one you have found the right guy so here is how do it get on a cliff because these things are massive so no rock shall do then shoot it with normal arrows then when he starts running start loading tranqs on him till he’s knocked out tranq arrows will do because they have quite low torpor then feed him fish/prime fish meat you will need a few not too many narcotics/ bio toxins then you got your self a spino. like if this helped

So I was just usually going to get some iron to repair my stuff at a near mountain, and as I accidentally fell/slid down the mountain, near a SWAMP, I saw 2 of these things just mass murdering, I saw them 1 hit a Therizino which, this was at a point where I was only level 34 and I thought that, that, was the power of a god, so I just hid behind a rock as they were passing by waiting to run, after they stopped looking, and look, if your tryna outrun these things, you gotta know, THEY WILL CATCH UP, they are the Godspeed of ark, (at least that’s what I thought at that level) oh yeah, and if you see these things, unless you have a flying creature right next to you with a saddle, Run, or hide

sup I’m the guy who gave the name idea “Slappy xD” in name ideas. So ima tell u how to tame it. (Based on my own experience) so first method: tanking the hits. Bring a tanky mount like steg (I really recommend steg bc u can hold weapon and crazy tanking) bring yo steg to yo desired spino then let yo steg take the hits and shoot it when it runs chase it bc BELIEVE IN YO SELF. 2th method: Trap and bear trap spams. u see, bring a fast and good mount (Recommend a high lvl carno) build a trap u make for a gig but leave one side open.

u might want to make a trap like this. \_/. put as many as trap bears u can in the middle, Aggro yo desired spino, head to yo trap and let it get stuck get off yo mount and shoot it quick with yo ammo choice.

LEAST EFFECTIVE TO BEST EFFECTIVE FOOD: (bad to good from my opinion tho) raw fish meat, cooked fish meat, raw prime fish meat, raw meat, cooked lamb chop, cooked prime meat, prime meat, and kibble.

AMMO CHOICE: if it’s a high lvl: u can use crossbow but I’d recommend darts since it wouldnt last as much in the spammed trap. But if it’s low lvl, u prolly gtta use darts from my opinion bc it might die while crossbowing it.

Hope this helped ya!

These guys will be your best friend.

I am not joking.

I play mobile, single player, and I have one named Butch, tamed him when I was at level 20 something and him level 17 I believe, he’s now level 43 and the only place he doesn’t go with me is underwater and caves.

Do no be scared grabbing one, I was terrified taming Butch, but in all honesty he wasn’t that bad, I was just paranoid. While narcotics are good to use, I find biotoxin even better and it easily knocks a spino nearly back to full tempor.

I used a crossbow and stood on a sharp cliff face, letting butch run around and kill the other animals in the water, which did actually distract him long enough to knock him right out. I highly suggest trying to grab one in the easier areas, mine being from the Long: 40 Lat: 80 area. Here you can easily get biotoxin too, as the jellies spawn in the area pretty frequently, it being a low level area and they’re easy to get to with a crossbow!

Happy taming fellow survivors, good luck!
