What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Easy to tame with stone trap. Spono's respawn near to my home. I have 5 now, my neighbor have got 6. Good speed when boosted and strong
Bring atleast 140 narcotics
If it’s your first time taming one be aware that it’s unconscious bar goes down quick
They don’t need that many tranq arrows if your going for one that’s a low level
Why making traps when cliffs exist? Use grapples to grapples the side of the cliffs then switch to your bow and shoot it if you want to tame it you can,he will never catch you because they cant climb,yes. Im talking about taming/kill the spino its easier,safer,and doesnt waste a lot of resource
How to Tame the Spinosaur on Mobile:
The Spino you want to tame must be between levels 1 - 150.
1 - 2 Argentavis Kibble (1 Argy Egg, 1 Citronal, 1 Prime Meat Jerky, 2 Mejoberries, 3 Fiber, 1 Water)
1 Soothing Balm (Normal)
3 x 3 Trap
20 - 30 Tranq Darts
How to get Argentavis Kibble and Soothing Balm:
To get Argentavis Kibble, you need an egg. Luckily, at this point of the game, you should have a lot of Argentavis. If you don’t have them, search the mountains. The egg is fairly common. For soothing balm, farm The Cave in The South.
How to trap:
You may have a prebuilt taming pen. If not, build one, preferably out of stone although it is expensive. Make sure the trap is 3 x 3 and you have your dinos away from it. Use a flyer to lead it in, preferably the Quetzal or the Pteranodon. The Quetzal can tank hits and can almost out-fly a Spino, and the Pteranodon is just too fast for it.
How to knockout:
Have your dinos away, then shoot it. Make sure the next shot won’t be delayed for long.
How to tame:
Get your balm and kibble and tame it. Self-explanatory.
Hit the arrow pointing to the sky if this helped with taming!
How to easily knock out this spino first get an level 157 equus and get complete equus quest you will get master equus saddle it has high defense now next find a spino and knock it out with its kick and get 100 narcotics or 40 bio toxin and get raw prime fish meat (raw prime fish meat is from the sabertooth salmon) (up if this is helpful!)
Spinos beat rexes in PvP 100% of the time. Go into 2 legged mode, and all in one motion run past the rex, turn around, shove the snout of your spino into the rear of the rex and profit. Because spinos are faster and have a much smaller turning radius, the opposing rex is completely unable to get you out from behind them. I've done this before, they literally cannot shake you no matter how hard they try. Just pump melee and stam and you'll be dropping 20th generation bred rexes effortlessly.
For people who want to tame spinos, do not make the same mistake I made. I decided, "Oh, its gonna be a great idea to tame that male spino and breed, after all its gonna have decent damage". Well I just messed up. I tamed a lvl 3... It was.. WEAK. The damage was 142.1%.
I had learned it after I bred the spinos. I was lucky to even get a baby lvl 20 with good melee. Yet, the moral is to not tame a low lvl spino, the melee results will be terrible. (I killed the Spino after I learned it was weak).
Yet, if you are looking for a good melee damage spino, low lvls arent for you. Please do not make the same mistake I did...
Fluffy THE LEVEL 15 SPINO IS NOW LEVEL 18 AND GODLY.
On aberration are many cliffs and rocks overlooking rivers that a Spino cannot reach. Stand atop these and fire down (crossbows or bows with tranq arrows are optimal, but if you want tranq darts that’s fine) and then kill drop down with a parachute or a Zipline (bring a ravager in case there are Karkinos in the river) and tame it up. Boom, you now have the strongest creature in the green zone. You’re welcome losers.
If you are in south zone 2 and one spawns go to the cliff at the end of the river and start shooting it this could work both if you want to kill it at a low level or just trying to tame it.
Hello guys its me hawk again! Im here to say that spinos are better so just tame spinos since its attack dmg is hard and fast. So reccomend to use it very much! Its also hard tolet it bait u pn a rock using Pteranodon
Like if we fly up the spino ignores us and just keep killing my lake fishies :( also bob the ithyosaurus was my freind and almost got killed by a lvl 190 spino..
I recommend using a tapajera and landing on a cliff, or if you're in the redwoods, a tree, and shooting down at it. Super effective, and it can't get you as long as you're up high enough. Just make sure you bring a heck ton of narcotics with you
These guys have fast hands so if you ever see on tamr it i took alot of damage to my tapejara when a rex hit me it took like 100 dmg only
Best taming method In my opinion is using a quetzal and shooting rifle tranqs at it then after knock balm it and starve it for awhile and feed kibble
Help! I’m worried about the spino next to my camp! It’s very close! What should I do?
(Not too long ppl, read this it'll help ya)
He's found at inland waters mainly,and shores too but prolly less.
U need Dino gateways ,Tranq arrows, narcotics or biotoxin(loads of 'em coz high torpor drain)
For lower levels(1-30) u can use wooden dino gateways, but it's upto you to decide what kind of gateways to use depending on the number of gateways u use. If u use 6 ,u can box him with no spaces left for movement, make sure they're not arranged symmetrically. This way i don't think u need stone or metal gateways. If u use 7 dino gates u need to leave regular spaces between them but the spino can rotate in it, prolly bite the gateways.
If u use 6 gateways u could use the starve method without stress,then feed him.
IMPORTANT: You get a Free Soothing Balm after completing the "Kill 5 Megapiranha" pursuit.
If found helpful smack the arrow that points towards the sky 🙈
Trick into water and shoot tranqs from below
Easy take strategy: you will need 4 stone Dino gates, large bear trap, and tranqs. Simply place 3 gates at 90 degree angles and it’s the opening facing the spino. Put a large bear trap in your he middle. Aggro the spino and have it run into the gate trap. When it is caught in the bear trap, walk around the other side and place the last gate where the spino came in from and tranq it. Boom, spino tamed.
